As the title says really. I’ve decided that a lovely cosy vanilla fragrance is what is missing from my life. Ideally some sort of burnt marshmallow scent I guess?!
I’m looking something where vanilla is the main note but it doesn’t have to be the only note. I’d prefer something not super sweet too. I love Black Opium and Hypnotic Poison but neither are quite vanilla enough. And I’d quite like something that lasts the day rather than having to be reapplied every couple of hours.
Ideally not heinously expensive (less than £100 I my world) but can go a bit higher price wise for the right one!
I just know you’ll all have some fab suggestions!

If you’re after a gourmand type vanilla fragrance, do look at 4160 Tuesdays as they include vanilla in several of their perfumes.

I have a rhubarb & custard perfume of theirs from a few years back - it’s glorious!

Baccarat Rouge 540. I ordered the Perfume Parlour version first to be sure I liked it before splashing out and it is almost identical to the original.

Maybe not exactly what you looking for but I like Body Shop Moringa range
Reasonably priced and you can have a bit of everything
Shower gel, body lotion , spray
Kind of vanilla ?

The body shop do a straight up Vanilla EDT that's inexpensive.

Otherwise Prada Candy which matches what you're after quite well, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Gold Couture EDP, Thierry Mugler Angel, Viktor and Rolf BonBon (smells like caramel vanilla with a twist of peach and orange), Clinique Cocoa and Cashmere, Bon Parfumeur Vanilla Toffee EDP, LUSH Vanillary.

Higher end the Diptyque Duelle or Atelier Cologne Vanille Insense.

Mmm replica by the fireplace

Diptyque Eau Duelle is beautiful. It’s a warm vanilla, spice scent.

LordEmsworth · 12/09/2021 21:17

Shay & Blue's Salt Caramel is delicious...

This, ambre vanille body cream from Laura mercier, rub it on in the morning before getting dressed and you can still smell it on your clothes when you get undressed in the evening, it literally lasts all day. People always ask me what perfume I’m wearing and honestly it’s a gorgeous soft warm smell.

I would recommend looking at Solstice Scents- especially Estate Vanilla. . Some perfumes need to come to the UK via a reseller- but the Roller balls are lush. A bit goth, a bit vintage but I always feel like the maker knows how scents work in my head.

Heat by Beyonce has a slight burnt marshmallow waft about it!

“Heat by Beyonce is a Amber Vanilla fragrance for women. Heat was launched in 2010. Heat was created by Claude Dir and Olivier Gillotin. Top notes are Peach, Orchid, Magnolia and Neroli; middle notes are Almond, Musk, Macarons and Honeysuckle; base notes are Amber, Tonka Bean and Sequoia.“

The new Dior is nice, vanilla with some spices and a bit of rum. Full size bottles are pricey but I've seen 40ml 'mini' bottles on eBay recently for less than £100.

It's called Vanilla Diorama.

GileadWivesAreFashionIcons · 12/09/2021 22:18

Amazing, thank you for the suggestions so far! I’m going to investigate some of these - keep them coming! 😀

This is gorgeous, as is the perfume of the same scent

Pebbledashery · 12/09/2021 22:28

This is a cheap one but a body mist called Miss Soooooo from Bm bargains. It's literally vanilla and marshmallow. It's so gorgeous. Cost 3 quid lol.

ladygindiva · 12/09/2021 22:34

As pp suggests I have the body shop edt vanilla and I love it.

This! It’s amazing!

Diptyque Eau Duelle is a gorgeous herby spicy vanilla.

I've also been really loving Alaia Blanche recently - warm and soft, a little sweet but not overpoweringly so
