We spend way too much time on #PerfumeTok, and we can tell you one thing—vanilla perfumes are making a major comeback.
Forget the days of pretending we don’t want to smell like a delicious bakery treat. Sure, fruity, citrus, and fresh scents are great, but there’s something about that hint of vanilla that just hits different.
But not all vanillas are created equal—finding that perfect blend of sweet but not too sickly can be tricky. Pair it with the right notes, though, and you’ve got a fragrance that’s pure magic.
These are our fave vanilla fragrances to smell like dessert 🧁.
Vanilla by Kayali
Creamy Jasmine meets rich Madagascan Vanilla Orchid, creating a sweet and soft scent, thanks to the Brazilian Tonka. And the base? Pure elegance with warm oriental notes of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and a touch of Brown Sugar. This scent is straight-up luxe and totally swoon-worthy.

Eilish by Billie Eilish
It kicks off with the sweet, dreamy vibe of sugared petals, leading into the cozy comfort of creamy vanilla at its core. As it dries down, you’ll feel the warmth of sleek woods wrapping around you like a soft, lingering hug. Total vanilla perfection in a bottle.

Burberry Goodess
Vanilla, warm spice, and a dash of lavender. It’s a vegan-friendly, featuring not one but three layers of vanilla goodness. You’ve got a vanilla infusion on top with cool woody vibes, vanilla caviar at the heart bringing that sweet richness, and a vanilla absolute base with a hint of fresh lavender to seal the deal. A gourmand dream.
