I'm after a nice soft smelling vanilla or coconut perfume. I just want to smell like delicious food 😩 but I keep getting nose blind whenever u go to test any out. Does anyone have any suggestions to narrow how many I am smelling?
Thanks in advance!

I'm a perfume blogger and I recommend only one per arm per day when you're out and about testing. I always break this rule myself and I can never remember which one I liked as I come home smelling of 7 or 8! Always test on skin not blotters as you won't know how it will settle on you otherwise.

If you like soft vanilla or coconut, try Avon Tahitian Holiday which is only a fiver, so you could probably risk a blind buy and you can buy online. You might also like the new Ariana Grande Thank u Next, which is very coconutty and gorgeous. If you want a deep rich vanilla, try Dior Hypnotic Poison.

Alternatively, try Creamy Vanilla Crumble by 4160 Tuesdays which will leave you smelling good enough to eat!

Know the feeling - I always end up with an armful of samples when I go shopping and can never remember what any of them are Grin

Hypnotic Poison is amazing - my go to perfume for winter! Have you tried Laura Mercier perfume? Lots of gourmand vanilla's which smell like you could eat them!

How funny.. Dior hypnotic poison was my absolute go to perfume and the only one I've truly loved but unfortunately the smell now has negative connotations 😩
Thank you so much for your suggestions! Xx

Gorse by laboratory perfumes - coconut and lime!

What about Seychelles by the White Company? I think that has vanilla, coconut, almond...

Dolce Vita by Dior is a more sophisticated perfume with hints of vanilla. It’s more complex than smelling like an ice cream.

Try Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess. Coconut, tiare flower and amber. It's just beautiful on warm skin.
