Perfume recommendations?

7 replies

I usually wear The Body Shop's Vanilla EDT or LUSH's Vanillary solid perfume. I'm looking for something that smells like vanilla but isn't too 'mature'. I've smelled Paco Rabanne's Black XS and really like that although that's not vanilla.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

This website is fantastic if you have a particular 'note' that you are looking for...there are loads of reviews of the perfumes and it shows you perfumes you might not normally try: fragantica. I think alot of the vanilla ones seem quite wintery - hypnotic poison is gorgeous and you can smell the vanilla but it is strictly a cold weather/night time scent. Chanel Chance is great for sunny days...

As an alternative...ysl parisienne is my current daily perfume - it smells powdery, floral and fruity at the same time - dh loves it!

chanel chance - and I really like bodyshop vanilla, so could be good.

Amarige has vanilla in it but is grown-up without being old-ladyish.
Bulgari's Jasmin Noir and Prada Amber have vanilla too. They're all woody orientals, which I love. You might also like the various Poisons.
Jo Malone does a cologne called 154 which has vanilla in the mix?very pleasant without being overwhelmingly sexy or sweet.

Jo Malone Vanille et Anise is lovely

oh I have the perfect one for you, I promise! I used Lush Vanillary before too, but this is so much nicer

I sometimes mix it with their Coco as well and always get loads of compliments.

Marc Jacobs Oh Lola smells quite vanilla-y to me. It is a lovely light floral, not too mature. Give it a try! I mean the light pink one, not the darker purple original Lola which IMO is not as nice.
