Vanilla perfume, any suggestions.

Mr Elbows loves vanilla so I'm looking for a nice vanilla perfume. Not sickly sweet and not flowery. I know nothing, do you have any (not too specialist and mega bucks expensive) suggestions?

Hypnotic Poison
Body Shop Black Musk

Al Rehab perfume oil from Amazon... "Soft" is vanilla, but quite strong so I mix it with a muskier one ("Balkis" from memory) which tones it down a bit. Cheap as chips, lasts ages, and I get lots of compliments on it.

Dior Dolce Vita or Guerlain Shalimar.

margaritasbythesea · 24/04/2017 06:06

Fragonard Vanille. You can get it from Marks. Not cloying, lasts well, almost fresh event. Lovely

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 24/04/2017 06:09

Shalimar, which also comes in lighter variations

Dyptique Eau Duelle is a grown up, dry vanilla.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 24/04/2017 06:10

Or sorry, the second one is not too mainstream but still quite widely available.

There's one from the Body Shop.

Polichinelle · 24/04/2017 18:21

Serge Lutens Vanilla is my favourite

beanbag19 · 24/04/2017 18:26

Laura Mercier vanilla ambre

I wear dolce & gabana 'The One' and I love it's vanilla scent

thisfalseinsight · 24/04/2017 20:14

Tauerville Vanilla Flash, definitely. I am a vanilla perfume junkie and have tried most of the ones on this thread, but nothing comes close to Vanilla Flash. It's a really boozy, un-sweet, unique, gorgeous vanilla (not sure what your DH might think of it but it's my DH's favourite of my many perfumes 😀!).

HurricaneHalle · 24/04/2017 20:38

Next Pure Amber?

NashvilleQueen · 24/04/2017 20:40

There's a lovely one by Van Cleef and Arpels

JanetStWalker · 24/04/2017 20:42

Serge Lutens, Un Bois Vanille is nice, not too sickly.

Indult Tihota is worth a sniff if you get the chance.

Ollivander84 · 24/04/2017 21:08

Second al rehab soft or #i love you

thecatfromjapan · 24/04/2017 21:43

I'll second Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille. Of the (many) vanilla perfumes I wear, that is the one my dd loves. It's a lovely bitter sweet.

I also like Atelier cologne Vanilla Insensee.
