ISO my perfect vanilla

  • #help_me_choose

So I am new to my fragrance journey and am struggling with finding my ideal vanilla. You guys know of a lot more brands than me so I am hoping you can come through with some recs.

My 1y/o Rorschach presents to you my scent profile. I think you can also look in my wishlist, to try list and current collection.

I don't necessarily want it to be just straight pure vanilla only, but I'm tired of spicy and sharp and Smokey in my vanillas lol. I'm into cashmeres, ambers, musks, heavy into gourmands.

I would love if anyone could share their ideas!! Rorschach and I say thank you!! 🩷

    Have you tried anything from Xerjoff? I’m not a huge vanilla person but some of my favorites have come from them. La Capitale and Ivory Route are both great and definitely fit the gourmand/amber/musk profile.

      I haven't tried or heard of them yet! I will have to add them to my to-try list thank you!

    Dulce by Rosie Jane is my favourite vanilla! It’s pure vanilla with a slight hinoki wood drydown to cut a bit of the sweetness, but it legit smells like melted vanilla ice cream, soooo yummy

      I have been meaning to get a tester of that one!!! But it sounds like i could probs blind buy and be happy

    There are so many well done designer vanillas. The new Ellis Brooklyn vanilla Rice is so yummy. Lira by Xerjoff is a great entry into niche fragrances. It is a beautifully executed gourmand vanilla. Bonus is that it can be found on all the discount sites.

    Nishane Ani, Xerjoff's Casamorati Lira, Ysl Babycat, any of Guerlain's Vanillas, Vanilla Powder by Matiere Premiere.
