This is that girl. Warm, rich vanilla with a grown, sexy edge that feels luxurious without being overpowering. I reach for this when I want compliments but don’t want to smell like everyone else. It layers beautifully and lasts all day. It's easily a...
KAYALI VANILLA 1.7 oz / 50 ml EDP Spray
This is the affordable vanilla that punches way above its price point. Soft, cozy, and creamy. It smells expensive without trying too hard. Perfect for everyday wear, errands, or work-from-home days when you still want to feel put together.
Le Monde Gourmand Crème Vanille Spray EDP
Warm, sweet, and surprisingly sophisticated. This one feels cozy but confident like a cashmere sweater in scent form. I love it for fall and winter, but it honestly works year-round if you like gourmand scents.
Eilish Eau de Parfum
Creamy, clean, and subtly sweet — this smells like luxury without being loud. It’s one of my go-to “quiet luxury” scents when I want something refined and feminine but still comforting.
Vanilla Milk Eau De Parfum
I seriously get stopped in public every single tie I wear this fragrance. It's not my typical scent profile, but for some reason it radiates and catches attention.
Ariana Grande Cloud Eau de Parfum - Warm Gourmand
Clean, cozy, and very “your skin but better.” This one adapts to you, which makes it feel personal and effortless. Perfect if you like subtle scents that still feel luxe.
Glossier You Eau de Parfum
Warm vanilla with a slightly smoky twist. This smells elevated and mature, especially for the price. A great everyday scent that doesn’t feel basic.
MIX:BAR Vanilla Bourbon Body & Hair Mist
Soft, cozy, and comforting. This one feels like slow mornings and soft sweaters. I love it for colder months or anytime I want a gentle, comforting scent.
Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere
🤍 Soft Life Layering & Everyday Luxury
If you love scents that sit close to the skin and last forever, this is it. The oil format makes it perfect for layering, and the vanilla musk combo smells soft, warm, and intimate.
Vanilla Musk Fragrance Oil - Nemat
This one is viral for a reason. Sweet, dessert-like, and super affordable. It’s amazing for layering with vanilla perfumes and lasts surprisingly long for the price
Al-Rehab Choco Musk Perfume Rollerball 0.2oz
Warm, beachy, and instantly uplifting. This scent feels like sunshine, vacations, and good moods bottled up. It’s one of those fragrances that makes people lean in and ask what you’re wearing.
Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 Bum Bum Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
Light, warm, and effortless. This is one of those scents you can spray generously and never worry about it being too much. Perfect for layering or for days you want something soft and close to the skin.
Vanilla Skin Body Mist
Light, clean, and easy. This is perfect for freshening up throughout the day or adding a little sweetness to your hair and skin without committing to a heavy perfume.
Pacifica - Body Mist & Hair Mist - 3 Products
Not a perfume, but it absolutely smells luxe. This is one of my favorite ways to layer scent — the fragrance lingers and makes everything else smell even better.
