Confession: Vanilla Perfumes

I previously turned my nose away from vanilla perfumes as they felt too childish for me.

Why Warm Vanilla Perfumes?

These perfumes are cozy, rich, and uplifting with depth from base notes like tonka bean and amber woods.

Best Warm Vanilla Perfume Overall

BURBERRY Goddess Amber Vanilla Eau de Parfum Intense costs $192 and lasts all day with a sexy, warm scent.

“This intense version of the beloved OG Goddess smells like pure luxury in a bottle.”

Best Under-$100 Warm Vanilla Perfume

Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla Eau de Parfum costs $82 and lasts longer than most ultra-luxury perfumes under $100.

“This is pure, radiant joy bottled, and it lasts longer than most of my ultra-luxury perfumes for under $100.”

Best Spicy Warm Vanilla Perfume

Phlur Vanilla Skin Eau de Parfum costs $99 and features spicy pink pepper with rich woods.

“This is a sophisticated, airy kind of vanilla, balanced with spicy pink pepper and rich woods.”

Best Long-Lasting Warm Vanilla Perfume

KAYALI VANILLA 28 costs $29 and is a warm, cozy scent that requires minimal application.

“I love the warm, cozy scent of this perfume and notice a little goes a long way.”

Best Warm Vanilla Body Mist

Emi Jay Aura Hair & Body Fragrance Mist in Toasted Sugar costs $24 and smells like fall treats.

“The toasted scent is like the bottled version of all of my favorite fall treats, but like, sophisticated and grown-up.”

Best Smokey Warm Vanilla Perfume

“Tobacco might sound like cigarette plume nightmare, but this scent is anything but, it's warm and inviting and super creamy.”

Best Nighttime Warm Vanilla Perfume

Maison Millais Funny Little Things Whispered at Very Important Dinner Parties costs $150 and smells like a cozy home.

“This perfume smells rich, like an Upper West Side townhouse filled with solid mahogany furniture.”

Best Warm Vanilla Extrait

“Hands down, this is one of the sexiest vanilla perfumes that's ever come across my desk.”
