Vanilla perfumes
The vanilla accord is built on the warm, sweet, creamy and slightly smoky scent of the cured vanilla pod, and it is a cornerstone of gourmand and amber fragrances. It brings a comforting, enveloping softness.
Natural vanilla absolute and CO2 extract are used alongside vanillin and the stronger ethyl vanillin, often supported by benzoin and tonka bean. Vanilla sits in the base notes and noticeably boosts longevity. It pairs readily with amber, sweet, gourmand, powdery, woody and tobacco accords. Vanilla-led fragrances are most popular in autumn and winter, for evenings and relaxed everyday moments, while lighter, airy versions also work well in spring.
The Vanilla accord appears in 35,625 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
