If I like these perfumes, what others would I like?

My favourite perfume, DKNY Pure & I think the touch of vanilla version, has been discontinued which is such a shame as it suited my skin and I think smelt really nice on me.
I also really like Hugo boss Nuit, in the black bottle with clear lid and also their jour in the pink bottle.
I used to wear Hugo Boss deep red, Opium, Coco Chanel, Ghost.

I am currently wearing Next Eau de nude during the day, but I can't really smell it anymore so am looking for a new one to try. I use a small squirt of Next Cashmere or Gold when I get ready for bed. I have looked at Fragrantica but I find it difficult to judge what they will smell like from the reviews. I have seen a couple, namely Narciso Rodriguez for her and the new one, PURE MUSC Eau de Parfum which sound promising. Another one that came up was SJP Lovely.

I like slightly spicy, warm vanilla, a bit floral or citrusy, but ultimately feel like a warm summers day on the skin. I don't like the burnt sugar/caramel some scents use. So from that, is there anything you think I should try?

@bythefire6 Clean Reserve Skin sounds very nice, the other two list caramel or brown sugar which I fear will be the burnt sugar note I don't like inside perfumes.

@Tortephant that does sound good, thank you.

Marks and Spencer sell it if you want a sniff!

YSL Libre Eau de Parfum is lovely. Warm vanilla base with a floral top notes including lavender.

I would have a sniff of next summer sun if you are passing, or Estée Lauder bronze goddess (it’s a dupe)
it’s quite beachy and coconut/vanilla, I don’t get caramel in it

Maybe one to try - Jo Malone Vetiver & Golden Vanilla Cologne Intense

RandalsAunty · 22/04/2026 19:52

I love vanilla based fragrance and I love guerlain double vanille.

RandalsAunty · 22/04/2026 19:55

Also Phlur - they make fragrances that you can layer and they do few vanilla ones.

At £300 it's a bit beyond my budget. Sounds nice though

I know it’s pricey but it’s a vanilla heaven! 😄

Diptyque Eau Duelle is also vanilla based (the lighter eau de toilette and the heavier eau de parfum, different price points)

I absolutely love SJP Lovely. As a guide I like really heavy vanillas like Chopard Casmir and D&G The One and I also own Next Eau de Nude and Ghost.

I second this. I wear the EDP most days, it’s the most beautiful non-gourmand incense vanilla 🖤

One of the loveliest vanilla perfumes I have tried is the gold Billie Eilish perfume. I think its just called Eilish! And its very cheap. I think I got a small bottle in Savers for about £25.
