I remember the very moment that converted me to being a vanilla perfume lover. It was back in 2018 and I was at my best friend’s house, we were getting ready for a party, when a sweet scent wafted my way. I whipped my head in her direction, immediately needing to know what has just graced my nostrils. “It’s Ariana Grande‘s new Cloud Perfume! It’s nice, right?” She replied.
That perfume has been my Roman empire ever since. And in the past couple of years, vanilla and gourmand scents have really taken off. More and more brands are hopping on the bandwagon, so we’re really spoiled for choice.

However, finding a vanilla perfume that doesn’t smell sickly sweet can be a bit of a task. You want it to be warm and comforting, but not so overpowering that you’re drowning in what smells like vanilla extract. So, as someone who has gone out and smelled a LOT of perfumes in the hopes of finding my staple vanilla, I’ve rounded up my top seven scents that are ‘blind buy safe’. AKA, they’re safe to buy online without you smelling them first because they’re that bloody good. But if you’re unsure how they’re going to wear on your skin, I’d go in-store to try them out first, just in case.
7 Vanilla Perfumes That’ll Leave You Drooling
Ficifolia Best In Show
Melbourne brand Ficifolia is known for creating suites of perfumes based on Aussie states (the Sydney suite is divine), but founder Sophie Marcoux diverted from that route to make a new scent based off an award-winning vanilla slice in a country show bake off. And let me tell you, she NAILED it. I haven’t been able to stop spritzing this since I got it a couple weeks ago.

The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Eau De Parfum
I get showered in compliments whenever I wear The 7 Virtues’ Vanilla Woods Eau De Parfum, and for good reason — it smells incredible. It’s sweet with a slight hint of woodiness, and is a really calming, comforting scent for particularly stressful days.

Ariana Grande Cloud EDP
Okay, hear me out. Celebrity perfumes are severely overlooked, and Ariana Grande’s Cloud is right at the top of the list of ones to try. This is my bestie’s go-to scent, and it’s perfectly sweet without being sickly or over powering. I love getting a waft of this every time I see her.
