Island Vanilla is warm, soft, and a little sweet. It has this smooth vanilla sugar vibe with a touch of floral making it one of my go to products. It’s definitely a lighter mist, but it layers beautifully and I love how clean and soft it dries down o...

Indian Coconut Nectar smells like warm coconut milk with a touch of vanilla. It’s not beachy sunscreen coconut at all, it’s creamier and a little sweeter, almost like a coconut dessert. It is a lighter mist, so I definitely have to reapply, but hones...

To me, Vanilla Cashmere by EOS feels like the kind of warm, cozy vanilla you’d want for nightly skincare or layering, not bold, but soft, comforting, and a little nostalgic. It’s perfect when you want to feel put-together and sweetly scented without ...

When I spritz Aura on hair or clothes, that initial grapefruit + apricot really makes me think “fresh shower, summer morning, sunshine.” It feels light, bright, and kind of energizing, like something you’d spray if you’re leaving the house and want a...
