This is my holy grail vanilla. It’s warm, cozy, and just makes me feel so put together no matter the occasion. It’s sweet without being too much, and the brown sugar note is addictive. If you love that classic vanilla glow-up scent, you need this one...

If you want playful, girly vibes, this one is it. It smells like cotton candy and marshmallows in the best way — fun, youthful, and so sweet. I love wearing this when I just want to feel extra cute, and trust me, people will ask what you’re wearing.

This is fluffy, airy vanilla that almost smells like vanilla sugar clouds. It’s not heavy at all, which makes it so easy to wear every day. If you want a perfume that’s sweet but not overwhelming, Montale nailed it.

This is my go-to for when I want vanilla that moves with me. I spray it in my hair and on my body, and it gives off this soft, warm vanilla with a little depth from the bourbon. It’s like vanilla but adult — cozy but not cookie-cutter.

This leans more rich and decadent, but there’s a sweet twist. With saffron, rose, complex oud, and vanilla + praline in the base, it feels luxurious and bold. For nights out or colder days where you want something with depth.

This one is dessert in a bottle. It leans heavily into toffee, creamy vanilla, and a soft undercurrent of coffee.

Candy syrup, juicy fruits, and vanilla make this playful and fun. It’s the kind of scent you wear when you’re in a flirty mood and want compliments.

A sweet treat of a perfume: milk-vanilla mousse with pistachio and brûlée (burnt sugar) vibes. It’s lighter in projection, but so pretty for daytime wear when you want sweet but not too heavy.
