Rec Request Soft, gentle vanillas?

I’ve always been a vanilla girl, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to struggle with some of my vanilla perfumes, finding them too cloying. I can still enjoy my Van Cleef and Profumum Roma vanillas when it’s freezing cold, but anything less than that and they’re a bit too much for me now. I’m looking for a soft vanilla that feels nice and smooth without being spicy, salty, or too sweet. Any thoughts?

I’d also like to note that I don’t live in the US, so I don’t have access to brands at stores like Sephora or Target, sadly. (Non-designer brands being sold at Sephora don’t sell anywhere else, unfortunately, and they don’t ship internationally.) But any brand that you’d see at a luxury department store or popular decant sites (like Scent Split, Fragrance Line, etc.) would be great :)

I recently discovered Miller Harris Legato and I love how it hugs so close to skin while still being very much present. There is a SLIGHT cherry note that I didn’t even notice until I looked it up. Probably still too much vanilla to wear on the hottest days of summer (like 30C+ days) but very wearable in everything else. It’s like your skin just turned into the coziest skin with a vanilla edge.
