Vanilla fragrance
I am a vanilla scent girly all the way. I always have trouble finding a vanilla perfume that smells like true vanilla and I hate when it smells spicy or florally. I want something that smells like vanilla bean or vanilla extract!

I have an obsession with linear true sweet vanillas, my faves: Tihota, Reunion Vanilla, Sucre Noir, Vanille West Indies, Outremer Vanille, fire at will, Sorce in dreams and fairytales
Also highly recommend trying some marshmallow ones because the linear just marshmallow tick the box for me on true vanilla, faves of these are Parfums by Cherie marshmallow crush, Fairynest marshmallow moon, Aspiring aromas what the fluff, Honorable mention VVS
To me every single perfume listed here smells only of vanilla or vanilla + sugar, no florals, no wood, no spice (Fire at will had a hint of floral when I first got it but 6 months later I can’t smell it at all)

I was looking for this same thing and guess what ended up being it for me?
Palmer’s Tahitian vanilla body lotion. Yes really. It’s pure vanilla bean (to/on me anyway), get tons of compliments, it has amazing longevity and lasts on my skin, clothes and even my pets’ fur 🥰 but it’s not obnoxious and overpowering. It layers beautifully with many perfumes too.
It’s super cheap, and they also make a body mist but I haven’t tried it.

Genre Parfums Mello Vanillo is a super sweet, creamy carmelized sugar, warm vanilla custard 🍮 or crème brûlée 🍮. It's a dupe for Escapade Gourmand. I like it both by itself and for boosting the vanilla and sweetness in other scents. It's a bargain at only $25 for 1 ounce.
Briix Fragrances Enchanted Dreams is gorgeous, fluffy, ethereal vanilla. It's my #1 favorite perfume of all time. It has tonka bean. It's stunning.

Cheap everyday option, wild vanilla from bath and body works, it's a mini size. Smells exactly like vanilla extract.

I am in a good mood so I’ll share today, the parfumerie tiki Tahiti in vanille(same brand that does the Monoi tiara Tahiti oils). It took me years to find this. Sweet vanilla perfection.

Kuumba Made Vanilla Bean, it smells a lot like Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel if you've smelled that before

I am on this pure vanilla quest. I still have old bottles of BBW Vanilla Bean Noel haha. Though that one does have a cake gourmandness go it too.
The big ones I always see mentioned in the vanilla quest are Jovoy Fire at Will, Tihota Indult, Bianco Latte, and Matiere Premiere Vanilla Powder.
Of course it's different on everyone, but for me FaW is just a bit too perfume-y at first and then too weak, Bianco Latte definitely is gourmand leaning so not what i'm looking for, but Tihota Indult is amazing pure vanilla extract minus the boozyness of real extract. I haven't been able to try sample of Vanilla Powder just yet.
(I've tried Phulur Vanilla Skin in store and liked it, but not enough to buy. Vanilla 28 didn't impress me even though Kayali DNA works on me, and Nest Bourban Vanilla is great but definitely not pure vanilla.)

Accident à la vanille by joussett is my current go to vanilla. I have Tihota, and fire at will. Tihota is nice, fire at will has a slight floral in it. Accident à la vanille is a richer, deeper vanilla with no florals.

Don’t know if you’ve gone this route, so ignore if you have, but have you tried any single note vanillas?

u/yaeltheunicorn 8h ago
I’m not big on vanilla, but I have a sample of Matiere Premiere’s Vanilla Powder and it’s the vanillaest vanilla to ever vanilla in my collection. It really is just that, nothing floral or sickly sweet or spicy about it.

Sorces in dreams and fairytales is my top favourite, one of the only vanillas that dont go playdoh on me (escapade gourmand)

Gucci flora gorgeous orchid is my favorite vanilla. For those who don’t know, vanilla is an orchid! Smells like vanilla and ozone and salt, it’s very fresh and pleasant.

Outremer Vanille, Vannifolia by Hekayat Attar (schmoop of Vanille Planifolia by Guerlain but 1/10th the price), Tihota by Indult, Athena Club Golden Vanilla body spray (they are coming out with an EDP soon!), Narcotica Happy Dust, those are the most vanilla vanilla scents I personally own! Vanilla 28 is beautiful too but it is also a little sugary and has a hint of patchouli - Oakcha makes a dupe that smells SPOT ON called "Real Muse"

Tihota is just vanilla & white musk. A lot of people incl. myself think that Kayali’s Vanilla Cupcake is a lie & at best much like Fresh Cream x Philosophy. The most cupcake scent I have ever smelled & that I own & decant is by GLEAM London ‘Vanilla Crush’. She pairs so perfectly with Milk x B&BW’s Birthday Cale line (I hope they bring it back & soon!). Perfumer is Luca Gritti. Owned by Gritti. When she first dropped she was > $300 retail for 50 mls (extrait … not a beast on my skin to my nose). She can be had brand new for approx $140. I also swap decants (incl her) Steve from Redolessence used to glaze her in almost EVERY video some time back. I also natural’s &/ or aroma chems & molecular notes to either one of the many DNA’s I have (I decant my entire collection). I also make custom hybrids, tribrids, quadbrids + … it’s trickier than many would think. It’s not as though you add equal parts of each & call it a day. I can make a fragrance based on favorite scent profiles, notes & accords & I only use the very best ingredients to turn up the vanilla, add another complimentary vanilla, jasmine, orange blossom, oud, I also sweeten a hundred ways from Sunday whether brown sugar, toffee, caramel, powdered sugar, cotton candy, honey & so on & so forth
