This adds complexity to vanilla and doesn\u2019t make it too sweet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPay attention to the ingredients combined with vanilla and the technique of the fragrance creation,\u201d the Fragrance Foundation\u2019s Levy says. \u201cVanilla\u2019s staying power from one season to the next is not only its sweetness but its ability to blend with many notes in all the fragrance categories.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"outline:none\" id=\"notes\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<p><strong>What notes work best with vanilla and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are many different notes that work with vanilla, from citrus (like bergamot), to woody notes (like cedarwood) and florals (like tuberose). \u201cVanilla is often paired with citrus and soft musks\u2014often referred to as skin scents\u2014which make it feel lighter and more wearable in warmer weather,\u201d says Do Bio. There are also varying degrees of how much vanilla is in a fragrance\u2014whether it\u2019s just a splash or is the main gourmand note. Ultimately, it depends on the finish you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<div style=\"outline:none\" id=\"vanilla\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<p><strong>Can vanilla be more universal and subtle?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Vanilla is a surprisingly universal scent that can range from strong to subtle. \u201cIt\u2019s all in the dosage of the vanilla\u2014is it the center note that comes through and the other ingredients showcase it, or is vanilla less prominent? This will make it softer and subtle,\u201d Do Bio says. Levy shares the sentiment: \u201cVanilla\u2019s popularity is its ability to span the scent spectrum of soft to strong and sweet, somewhere in that vast space, there is a vanilla scent for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We tested vanilla fragrances by evaluating their notes, how sweet they were, and how long they lasted. The best ones we found paired vanilla with notes like citrus, florals, musks, and woods. The combinations we found were not overly saccharine or too powerful, which can sometimes happen when testing out vanilla or gourmand scents. The ones we landed on did a great job of balancing vanilla but still showcasing it as the star. These were all quite long-lasting and took us from day to night without having to reapply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frequently asked questions What should you look for when shopping for a vanilla perfume?
