Vanilla perfumes for women

Vanilla perfumes for women put vanilla's warm, creamy and gently sweet character up front, sitting softly on the skin for hours; this list gathers the most popular perfumes where vanilla leads. Vanilla is a strong note on its own, but in perfume it is usually shaped by what surrounds it. With tonka and caramel it turns gourmand, with sandalwood and musk it becomes velvety and warm, and with incense or tobacco it takes on a darker, smoky mood.

Vanilla-based scents shine in cold weather, though the ones balanced with light musk or citrus work well in spring too. They develop slowly on skin, so don't judge them in the first minute; the drydown a few hours later is often the part people love most. Apply to moisturised skin for better longevity. The list features women's perfumes with a strong vanilla accord, sorted by popularity.
