If you're a vanilla lover like me, you already know how timeless, comforting, and irresistible a good vanilla scent can be.
Whether you prefer something sweet and cozy or rich and sultry, these vanilla products are perfect for layering together or mixing with other fragrances to create your own custom scent story.
Here are my top three vanilla must-haves that smell heavenly alone — but even better together!
1. Phlur – Vanilla Skin
This is one of the most versatile vanilla scents I've ever used. It's warm, gourmand, and smooth without being too sugary. What makes it extra special is that it's formulated to be safe for both body and hair, so you can lightly mist it all over for a full, enveloping scent experience.
2. Kayali – Vanilla 28
If I had to pick one "date night" vanilla, this would be it. Kayali Vanilla 28 is a sophisticated take on classic vanilla, with hints of bourbon, patchouli, and brown sugar that add warmth and depth. It's sweet yet elegant — the kind of scent that lingers softly and leaves a lasting impression. It layers beautifully with floral or amber fragrances, adding a cozy, sensual base that makes every perfume feel a little more luxurious.
3. Josie Maran – Whipped Argan Body Butter
When it comes to body care, nothing beats Josie Maran's Body Butter. It's ultra-nourishing, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and hydrated — the perfect foundation for any fragrance routine. It comes in three vanilla-inspired scents, so you can choose your favorite or mix and match. I love applying it right after a shower before perfume — it helps lock in moisture and makes your scent last longer while adding an extra touch of cozy sweetness.
Vanilla scents will never go out of style — they're comforting, romantic, and endlessly layerable. Whether you're drawn to the soft, everyday warmth of Phlur, the luxurious depth of Kayali, or the creamy comfort of Josie Maran, these three products are perfect building blocks for your signature vanilla scent.
