These 9 Vanilla Perfumes Are Worthy of Being Your Signature Scent
When I think of cozy fall scents, vanilla is always one of the first things to come to mind. From marshmallows roasting over a bonfire to cookies baking in the oven on an October night, something about vanilla is both nostalgic and comforting. Needless to say, while you’re nailing down your signature fall scent this year, a vanilla perfume should be in the running.
Throughout 2024, vanilla scents have started to trend on TikTok, largely thanks to creators claiming that vanilla perfumes are their most-complimented scents. Whether you’re already a lover of vanilla scents or are looking to hop on the bandwagon for fall, I read an embarrassing amount of reviews (and asked our editors for their tried-and-true favorites) to find you the best vanilla scents money can buy.
