11 Vanilla Fragrances PERFECT for Summer

[@jennasteinberg5376]

I really wish there was a ... class/workshop/store - anything - that you could go to and smell individual notes. Like - I don't know what "iris" smells like. I don't know what "vetiver" smells like. I want to pick up a bottle and smell it and then smell another and go, "Oh! That's the difference between Turkish and Bulgarian rose." I think it would be so helpful in breaking down the notes so you could have an idea if you might like something or not! Sometimes fragrances are intimidating.

[@maiden411]

That’s an interesting idea! I know iris is equally powdery and light floral (more like rose than something heavy like gardenia). I’m with you on the smell testing. Although I may know what a note might smell like, it’s how much of each note compared to the others that matters. I think your idea is brilliant! 🌸

[@TheKhaliente]

So the best way to get a good understanding is find a custom perfume class or store. It will give you the ability not only to make your own scent but also allow you to become familiar with different notes. When you think of iris think of the scent of your mom's or grandmother's lipstick, it's the scent of flower petals with powder and a slight carrot sweetness, vetiver is a woody smokey scent, it is reminiscent of fragrant wood that has been set on fire, and blown out (smokey, woody and a little green), and the difference between Turkish and Bulgarian rose is the Turkish rose has a little spicy (think pink peppercorn mixed with roses with soft red fruit scents), whereas the Bulgarian rose is rose forward with notes of berries, when people say a rose scent smells 'jammy' it's usually a Bulgarian rose or damask rose. (Hopefully this helps, I'm an amateur perfumer)

@ that is VERY helpful! I’m a very experienced perfume lover and your information was still FANTASTIC! Thank you for taking the time to share it.

The Dossier dupe of Vanilla Vibes is SPOT ON. Save your money

[@glendalyscolon6914]

Thanks I will definitely check it out ❤

[@Jil8840]

I didn't like vanilla vibes. It smells boozy. Like the Greek beverage ouzo together with vanilla.

[@karaconiglio986]

You can find vanilla vibes super cheap right now on discount perfume shops. Probably the same price as the Dossier.

[@ashn9793]

Honestly I tried so hard but I can’t get behind dossier. 😢 they are so harsh and cheap smelling when first sprayed and they just don’t have staying power at all. And my husband and I have each tried 3 different scents from them.

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

I would also add Wild Vanilla Orchid by Floral Street! And you’re right, I layered Dulce (Rosie Jane) and Mod Vanilla to get an ice cream cone and I smelled delicious

[@Rosa-mj5mt]

Idk if anyone needs to hear this but im from an asian country in southeast asia where its crazy crazy hot and bianco latte still got me compliments. I know it isnt the “freshest” gourmand out there but it still hits 😂❤❤❤

[@ironw0lves]

ah that's so helpful! Curious to hear what other scents have garnered you compliments in SEA (from ladies and/or gentlemen).

[@Rosa-mj5mt]

@@ironw0lves fresh citrus scents always get noticed. Another personal fave is vibrato also unisex. I know ariana’s vanilla mod and scents from diptyque is also pretty popular here. Also baccarat and penhaligons. However since it is so hot in here most people i know who arent into fragrances are pretty satisfied with body mists

Commodity Gold (personal version!!) is one of my favorites right now. I pretty much just get vanilla and iso e super, which are my favorite notes. I think it’s great for any time of year- light enough for summer, and cozy enough for winter

[@didikennedy9079]

I have the Expressive version and I agree. Such a beautiful vanilla that you can wear all year. It’s one of my favesssss ❤

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Sounds perfect

[@teressa8556]

D&G Devotion is a great alternative to Akro Bake. Same perfumer created both, very similar notes, and i love the lemoney vanilla for summer!

[@aimeeanderson9258]

Happy Dust will get stronger- always FEELS soft- but performance/longevity will develop- one of my most complimented scents! Was legit approached by stranger in the parking lot at the grocery store!

[@angelpaschall4378]

Same! I layered it with Bianco Latte and from the airport to walking outside Trade Joe, just beautiful.

[@elizabethg1901]

Lavanila vanilla grapefruit has been a fav this summer so far. And not super expensive.

[@melissakessler77]

This was my favorite vanilla for years!

[@Mandalaaxo]

I love Vanilla Grapefruit, it's sooo good.

[@lillyshewandagne]

thé vanille literally changed my life...i'm so serious. i am ENAMORED by that scent and it's definitely top 3 favorites for me!!

[@aggiaggi8306]

I'm curious about it. I am not into salty scents though 🤔

[@abbyweaver7865]

I love Pacifica Island Vanilla in the summer, it’s still sweet but a touch tropical and floral so it’s not too much for the heat

[@jessicar2609]

This is such an underrated fragrance!

Byredo G Water is magical in the summer.

[@awalker127]

I couldn't agree more. Bal d'Afrique is also pure summer magic

[@RubyRevolver8]

I'm so happy to hear you are coming around to Vanilla Vibes! It's one of my absolute favorites so I do hope you get it and love it. It's one of the longest lasting perfumes I have ever used.

[@danashackleton3790]

I don't think anything from the line is Long lasting. Although I do love that one and super dose. But I refrain from buying bc if the performance..

[@kaceyisdead]

Omgggg yes I love this theme! I brought out my Vanilla Sky, it's a cocoa buttery vanilla to me, I always thought it was fall, but it's giving summer!

[@Hanbunbun]

Ive been waiting for someone to talk about The Vanille! I sprayed it on me one time about a week ago and i haven't been able to get it out of my head! Long lasting and sweeter as it dries down with a moderate projection from my one time wear!

[@sierrarayl9951]

I’ve been really loving Donna born in Roma green extravaganza!! It’s a vanilla tea scent, lightly sweet and refreshing. It also layers SO well with happy dust😍 Also, 100% agree with your nette the vanille recommendation. I bought a travel size and immediately bought a full size bottle after wearing it once cuz I feel in love with it so fast😍

[@elizabethg1901]

I just bought the green extravaganza! So excited to wear it this summer.

[@jenaiafarah7341]

I love Kayali’s Vanilla Coco - haven’t thought to layer it with sunny side up (which I also love). Sounds like a match made in heaven. I have layered it with Gris Charnelle - it’s so unexpectedly good. And also layered it with Santal 33 - also love.

[@pumpkinpastie]

Lovely vid as always! I love Diptyque’s Eau Duelle EDT for summer 🍋‍🟩 🍦

[@graysmom20051]

Literally what’s better? 12/10

[@hollyken3]

[@bethlitaunieks382]

My new favourite is Kayali's Maui in a bottle. The dry down to me is creamy coconut and vanilla with a hint of banana

[@robinlibby8388]

My current favorite is lalique amethyst. It's a refreshing berry floral vanilla with a slight green note to me. I love it so much I just bought the elcat flanker version and my coworker bought the original after smelling it on me. From fragrance net is around $35

[@ironw0lves]

Would love to hear an update on the longevity and silage of the Nest body mist 💗 How does it compare to Vanilla Skin if you had to pick one? 😊

[@claudinecam]

The old now discontinued nest mists (I had ocean mist and coconut water - so good) had the performance of some edps. Hopefully new ones are too but it seems over time companies cheapen things.

[@thejulietocean]

She said she doesn’t get the most longevity out of it

[@danashackleton3790]

​@@claudinecam your right. Everything changed after 2001. I remember the formulas from the 90s. Beast mode!! Anyway I feel things are getting weaker and weaker. Not a fan of body mists. We need things stronger. Not weaker. And it takes a giant step backwards. I'm against EDTs too. If ur Gona buy an EDT than just buy a mist. They should just give us a strong EDP from the get go. Not an elixir or intense etc. Bc I find they are still not long lasting. I miss the days of the 90s. When everything was an EDP and strong from the gate.

[@claudinecam]

I tried Mod bc I kept hearing it was yummy and nice and the notes sound right up my alley ,however,everytime I go to smell it I smell NOTHING. Its too light. I like stronger perfumes that's what I'm used too. Mod is like a body spray but I can't smell anything. And if it's that light upon first spray than it prolly has zero performance. I love cloud pink. But Mod is a pass for me.
