Both of these are good, Tom Ford for sweet, MdO for spicy vanilla

I am not crazy about sweetness, or vanilla in fragrances. I like to sniff vanilla, but can not wear it. Amber either. I know. I know, it smells great, but I just can't do it. The vanillas that keep luring me back in use it as an ingredient and not the center of attention - like:

Joseph Statkus
Habit Rouge
Mouchoir de Monsieur
Fat Electrician

Eau Duelle
Jaipur

Don't know if its the best, but the most attractive I've smelled so far is Rose Water & Vanilla by Jo Malone.

I recently got my hands on a bottle of Jaipur. It really is a wonderful vanilla fragrance. The dry down is magnificent.

Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille
Crees Sublime Vanille

I haven't sniffed every vanilla in the universe. Those are my three favorites so far.

I can't do vanilla either unless it does not take center stage.

Did someone say vanilla?

As god is my witness, I'm obsessed with the stuff. Obsessed with it. I love it in so many forms:

Designer? Try bulgari black or L by Lolita Lempicka

Bit more niche? Try Diptyque Eau Duelle

With tobacco? Try Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

Smoky? Try Mona di Orio Vanille or CB I hate perfume 7 billion hearts

Supersweet? Profumum Roma Dulcis in fundo or Acqua e zucchero

Incense? Le Labo 44

Hint of citrus in opening? Farmacia SS Annunziata Vanigla del Madagascar

Powdery? Annick Goutal Vanilla Exquise

Boozy? Guerlain SDV or M Micallef Note Vanillee (sadly discontinued)

More citrus you say? Bois 1920 Sushi Imperiale

Vanilla? What vanilla? Try Hermessence Vanilla Galante

Foody and delicious? Try Guerlain Gourmand Coquin










Excuse me while I now go sniff my bottles.
