Plush Vanilla

Sweet, vanilla, woody, warm, powdery, balsamic, musky, feminine, sensual, seductive, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, alluring, tempting, inviting, cozy, comforting This is such a pretty fragrance! A sweet, warm, and powdery vanilla laced with warm golden amber, cozy cashmere wood, creamy sandalwood, and delicate orange blossom. This feels feminine to me and like it would suit women of any age. It feels most fitting for the colder weather of fall and winter thanks to its cozy warm and woody scent. It’s an easy reach that is mostly non-offensive. I think it’s fitting for most occasions from casual to date nights, and including work and/or school. It’s definitely not anything groundbreaking, and there’s quite a few fragrances with very similar scent profiles. Overall, it is a really nice scent! I do own some other fragrances with this scent profile that are very similar to this one, so I’m glad I only purchased the travel spray. Even though I do enjoy this, honestly it’s something that I could have passed on since it feels like I already own it. I agree that a lot of the fragrances in the “reminds me” section share similarities, Vanilla Skin, Bare Vanilla, Bare Vanilla Sueded, SDJ 59, Cashmere & Vanilla Essence, Bonfire Bash, Vanilla Romance, and even slightly By the Fireplace. This feels extremely similar to Vanilla Skin, unfortunately so much so that I can barely tell a difference. I also find Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal and BBW Wicked Vanilla Woods to be quite similar. For reference, some of my favorite sweet/vanillas include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, PdM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, Selena Gomez Rare, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt, Queens Caramel, Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, Cashmere Skin, SDJ Summer é Amor, 62, 39, VS Vanilla Lace (OG), B&BW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries

Let's get this out of the way: the bottle is not saying luxury or special. The sprayer is not great. The font is boring; the design is plain. It's also boring next to this celebrity's other perfume bottles in the store. The advertising campaign, presentation and the bottle design don't really blow me away, either. But I like the color purple, which is the whole reason I sprayed it in store in the first place (which led to me spraying it at the store every time I went by the store and ultimately purchasing it for myself. Sephora has a set out right now where you can get the bottle and a travel spray for the price of the bottle +$5 so I went with that. May this one never be discontinued, but I'll have plenty.) I have literally only ever bought gray market or pre-owned perfumes for 10 years, but this one made me buy new. The size of the bottle is huge, which is excellent, because I really, really love this fragrance. It is delicious vanilla and fancy woods, and I can't get enough of it. I like it better than Phlur's Vanilla Skin because this one is sweeter and I'm a sweet gourmands fan. The woods are very strong at first, but hours later, you smell perfect vanilla ice cream. It's not a super overpowering scent, so you won't be gassing your coworkers with one spray. It's soft and pleasant, but I would say it has decent staying power.

Wearing it for the first time today and I really like it. It reminds me of a vanilla Starbucks latte in a bottle... Creamy, sweet, coffee. It is a very light and flirty sweet scent that has a little extra depth and sophistication with the coffee note on my skin. I know coffee isn’t listed as an accord and I don’t see anyone else mentioning it, so I feel like I got lucky with our combined chemistry as I am a big coffee lover - internally and externally :) I can see myself wearing this every day as a hair scent. It makes me feel soft, pretty, and cozy. 9/10 *Edit - I’ve gotten more compliments on this perfume than any other so far (after wearing it for about a week). I also compared it to vanilla skin after reading that it’s a dupe, and for me, plush vanilla is a better scent, hands down - it’s less synthetic smelling, has better longevity and silage, and a better scent profile for my chemistry. Extremely similar, but no comparison .

In store, I was immediately thrown off by the woodiness. I absolutely get the Vanilla Skin and Sol 59 comparisons, but it is softer and sweeter than both. While I was initially disappointed, the next morning I smelled the hoodie I sprayed it on and the creamy vanilla notes were all that remained with no trace of woodiness (which I personally enjoy more). Overall, I see why it’s a part of the more sophisticated lovenotes line compared to the youthful fragrances she’s known for (though I wish the bottle also had the same label compared to the cheap screen printed one on plush vanilla). I think Cherry Eclipse is the stronger 2025 release, Plush Vanilla I see as a really good safe reliable everyday pick. I think it’s work friendly, somewhat layerable, and a great value. It’s not EOS Vanilla Cashmere in perfume form I was expecting/hoping for, but it is a hit in its own right.

this reminds me of eos vanilla cashmere lotion if it were woody and sugarier. the woodiness does die down after some time and turns into a creamy, sweet, almost marshmallow-y scent. it’s also slightly musky. this would be a nice signature or everyday perfume, it’s a very straightforward vanilla. not “in your face” enough to bother people around you in public settings, but pleasant enough for others to think you smell good. longevity is around 6-8 hours on my skin, but i smell it on my clothing/hair longer than that (i do have a very sensitive nose though) i could see this working year round regardless of the season. i def feel bubblier when i wear this! if you love AG perfumes or love sweet vanilla scents plush vanilla is a good buy. i’m glad i have this, but i don’t think anyone NEEDS this if they already have a vanilla/marshmallow perfume they love.

2025 Sephora Gift Set Review Full size + travel spray for fs price + $5, $85 total. Good for the amount of product you're getting as long as you're someone who sticks to one thing they like forever. (me lol) Or if you're splitting with someone else. Comes in a big, square box with lavender flocking. Box is very sturdy if you like reusing boxes, but takes up way too much space if you like storing perfumes in-box. Travel bottle unscrews to refill. Can't unscrew big bottle- unsure if operator error or a design flaw. I wouldn't give this to someone who doesn't already like the scent, but it might be perfect if they do. I gave it to myself. :)

I sniffed this over the weekend, and I may go full bottle. I love vanilla, but this is a smoky, more earthy vanilla. The start of the fragrance is nothing special, just kind of watery and bland, then it warms up on skin and shook me with the performance. I smelled it all afternoon, and the sweetness and earthy vanilla popped out. It reminds me a lot of Mod Vanilla, where that starts bland and changes, and is more musky sweet. This is a more woody, earthy sweet. Not like - WOODS but a more organic true vanilla. I think this will be a fave of mine in colder weather too!

wow this is theeee sweet vanilla scent ive been looking for! 🧁 i love sweet gourmands but i don't like anything complex... a lot of vanillas on the market are too musky or spicy for my taste but this is perfect! the best description i can give is a mix of B&BW og formula warm vanilla sugar, B&BW snowflakes & cashmere, and dulce by rosie jane. its really cozy, girly and perfect for fall. the only downside is the longevity it is not good for a perfume but i layer with lotion everyday and it makes a huge difference.

Despite the mixed reviews, I really enjoyed this scent. It lives up to the cute purple bottle as a lovely vanilla to have that can be widely appreciated for sure! I don't sense any overwhelming similarities to Mod Vanilla as it is a richly sugared and layered (almost smoky) vanilla rather than being clean/powdery (I much prefer this one). It's a thick, warm, and sweeter Vanilla Skin for sure. Longevity is moderate and it layers masterfully well with vanilla bases.

I am in love with this. But it did take me a few days to come around. I tested it three times in Sephora and left each time to ponder it. I then decided it was different enough from any others I have and that the drydown is exquisite. Really loving the vanilla macaron note in this. Very rich and shows up nicely later in the wear. I will agree that it's similar to Phlur Vanilla Skin. But it's not the exact same by any means to my nose.

I am rewriting my review, as this has grown to be one of my favorite Ari fragrances. Imagine you are eating vanilla macarons coated in sugar crystals while wrapped in a cashmere blanket next to a fireplace. That’s what this fragrance smells like to me! It’s a sweet, cozy cashmere vanilla, with a touch of gourmand. Mod vanilla was my favorite vanilla fragrance out of my entire collection, and I think this one has overtaken it! 🍨💜

I love love love this perfume! It reminds me of a more grown-up and nice smelling, long lasting version of Bodycology's Cozy Fireside S'more. I sprayed it 6 hours ago and I can still smell it. This definitely is different than Mod Vanilla--anyone who says even the dry-down is the same is wrong IMO. The woodsy and amber notes are beautiful with the vanilla and this will definitely be my daily perfume in the fall and winter!

Idk — it’s way too soft for my palette. I feel like it disappears almost immediately and like I can’t even properly judge it because of that. *UPDATE* ok I just sprayed it again 2 days later and it is a dreamy, creamy, unbelievable vanilla. And she lasts!! I guess it just needed some time to recuperate from the travel & heat so she can properly show off. Instantly ordered a full bottle!!

When I first got this perfume, I wasn’t impressed. It leaned way too woody and didn’t have enough vanilla for my taste. But after letting it sit for a few months... wow. It transformed completely. Now I get the most delicious toasted marshmallow scent, and I’m absolutely obsessed. I seriously can’t wait for the weather to cool down so I can wear her every day. 🤍🍂

Plush Vanilla’s longevity, when sprayed directly to clothing, is fantastic! Since I sprayed a good amount around 10AM, it’s 5PM, and this baby is still projecting <3 Imagine: A delicate version of Vanilla Skin by Phlur + a dry-down of Bare Vanilla by VS with that sweet, fluffy gourmand vanilla note. I absolutely love her!

Reminds me a little of vanilla romance by bath and body works and my dupe for Parfum de Marlys althair which is Khadlaj vanilla island dunes It’s a less spicy softer version of that same kind of vanilla scent Very pretty but could be redundant if you hw r these already

I'm sorry, but I really enjoy some of Ariana Grande's perfumes! And this one is at the top of my list. It is the perfect layering fragrance... I put this with Angel Dust by Fugazzi... an absolute stunner. I got compliments all night.

just bought it today. it opens with the cashmere woods and sandalwood with the vanilla fading its way in. sits on the skin vanilla with a hint of that blossom, after sitting on skin for a while i got the amber sugar notes.

This is so fluffy and delicious, it’s exactly what I want from a vanilla perfume. It does go a bit woody, but I like that. I smell myself all day when I wear it! I’m obsessed

oh i smelled it today i love it it's giving luxury niche perfume very mature vanilla woods , very different from Ari's perfumes I'm literally obsessed

I have a mini of this and I think that this is one of the best perfumes Ari has ever released vanilla and intricate while still being subtle

I layered this with chocolate greedy....incredible. it's beautiful on its own as well but layered with chocolate greedy took it next level!

This is probably the best one from Ariana’s line, it’s sweet sugary vanilla and ambery type vibe. Very delicious warm and crowd pleasing!

this smells like a powdery vanilla donut! it's so sweet and yummy. 💕 it lasts a while on my skin too! you get sooo much for what you pay.

Smells sweeter than vanilla skin and a bit like vanilla woods 7 virtues. Super nice and finally a cashmere vanilla that lasts long enough

ariana knocked it out of the park with this one. i really didn't care for mod vanilla, but this oneeeeee...she really did it.

Such a good woody vanilla perfume. I love it !!! Perfect for layering, but also lovely by itself. 10/10!!

I LOVE this. Sweet, warm vanilla perfect for fall. Great for layering and generally pleasing for everyone

it’s a really simple woody vanilla fragrance. 100% reminds me of bare vanilla and layers great with it

Phlur Vanilla Skin, but sweeter...it is redundant, but I’ll take it anyway. It’s a love for me.

longevity is ok but this is a phlur vanilla skin vibe a sawaar vanille blanc

Smells exactly like Bodycology Cozy Fireside S'more and I LOVE it

Simple but beautiful, a pretty vanilla 😍

Smells like a loving, comfy, warm hug.

I agree - this smells extremely close to Phlur Vanilla Skin. When I smelled this at the store I knew I had smelled something just like it before. At first I thought it might have been The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods or Amber Vanilla. But I then smelled those two and neither one was it. Eventually I realized it was Vanilla Skin. Comparing them on scent strips they were extremely similar. Plush Vanilla is smoother, creamier, and has a touch less spice. They both lasted for like seven hours on the scent strips, too. At different points of smelling them again I'd have a different opinions on which smelled stronger, so I'd say they're overall comparable in terms of lasting power. I'll have to test them on the skin, though. I've been considering getting Vanilla Skin for a while, but I think when I have the money I'll get this instead! ETA: To me personally this doesn't smell like Cheirosa 59, but I guess I kinda see how they could be compared? They both have sugar and sandalwood. But to me 59 has a burnt floral smell to it, while Plush Vanilla isn't really floral at all and in comparison is more vanillic and creamy. I went back and tried PV and VS on my arms to compare. On the skin, the difference is more noticeable in the top and mid. For a while, on the VS side, I can really smell the apple top note, and it's overall spicier. PV is creamier from the beginning and stays that way the whole time. In the dry down after a few hours they smell pretty similar, PV being softer, VS a little spicier. I feel like PV stays a little closer to the skin while VS gives a little more of a scent bubble/sillage, maybe in part due to the spicier quality of the woods. I never loved the apple note in VS and I like how PV is smoother and fluffier throughout. Plush Vanilla isn't what I would have called this fragrance (I personally expected something more lactonic or less woody with that name) but compared to Vanilla Skin it definitely is more "plush." Another edit: Some of the ads for this have vanilla ice cream, which I think is just really inaccurate? Like yeah this is a vanilla but it is not giving vanilla ICE CREAM at all. I know I referred to it as "creamy," but moreso just in comparison to Vanilla Skin. IMO for something to be evocative of ice cream it can't be so woody and it has to be a little lactonic. I'm also not really sure why it's purple. It's a really pretty purple and the bottle is very cute, but what about a woody vanilla is giving purple? Not trying to be a hater, ultimately it doesn't really matter. I still plan on picking this up eventually the marketing just doesn't make a lot of sense to me lol

This is very reminiscent of Bodycology Cozy Fireside S'more, minus the pencil shaving note I detect in that one & with better sillage & longevity. A lightly smokey, marshmallow-y vanilla. It's nice. More "Toasted Marshmallow" than "Plush Vanilla". It strikes me as an exclusively fall/winter scent. S'mores around the campfire vibes. I love the color of the bottle, although I think the marketing is a bit misleading, i.e., posing the bottle next to ice cream topped with whipped cream & macarons. The pieces of wood placed alongside it, however, were right to be included, although they should have been a bit charred to convey the smokiness of the fragrance. It's silly to me that orange blossom is a listed note, because I don't detect it in the slightest (which is for the best, as I tend to dislike it). There is a generous amount of fragrance offered for the price point. Perhaps too generous! Lol. If someone adores this fragrance, that value will be great for them, but since I just *like* it, I would have be fine with a 1.7 oz bottle. I don't think I'd ever get through 4.25 oz of this, lol. I don't anticipate getting a full bottle, but I do like the fragrance. If a smaller bottle was available, I might would scoop one up to wear in autumn. I can't justify the price for the travel-size. Edit: Three-and-a-half hours after spraying two sprays on my wrist, this fragrance has become a skin scent & has almost completely faded away. The smokiness has subsided and, at this point, it reminds me quite a bit of Nemat Vanilla Musk.

At first spray I pick up warm, woody vanilla. The woodiness settles quickly and becomes less prominent and creamier but noticeable. I don’t like strongly woody scents, so I was a little worried, but it has a nice balance of woody and warn vanilla. It’s slightly sweet but not a gourmand. I think it reads more seductive vanilla. I don’t get any of the orange blossom note It isn’t heavy, so ok to wear all year day or night in my opinion. Currently going on 6 hours of wear and can still easily smell it a bit so the wear and projection is good within a moderate scent bubble. My only caveat would be that I don’t think it’s terribly unique. There’s other woody vanillas out there that are similar that I’ve smelled but don’t own, but for some this may not be a necessary buy if you have something similar.

I really like this fragrance. At 1st I felt the sandalwood was a little too overpowering, but I knew it just needed to macerate to balance out. This is giving a very cozy, Victoria Secret Bare Vanilla vibe. I feel this will do very well in the cooler months. The strength and overall sillage is a little light right now, but with most vanilla frags they get stronger over time. I currently have been pairing it with all different frags, and it has been very complimentary. If you are a vanilla lover I think this will be a nice addition to your collection. I saw on TT that apparently the other Love Notes that did not come to the US will be coming via TT shop, and I cannot wait to try them all.

very soft sweet. a great “plain”/“basic” vanilla scent imo. a lot of vanilla these days aren’t true vanilla, they’re usually mixed with something else that often a overshadows it. but this is just straight easy vanilla to me. no extra bells or whistles. it’s not really unique at all but if you’re looking for something simple, this would be perfect for you. personally, i don’t think i’d buy a full size as i already have a ‘basic vanilla’ in my collection (vanilla skin- phlur. though i find that to be a little more intense than plush vanilla) but this definitely a good choice!

I think its smells like roasting marshmellows. But right at the start of putting the marshmallow ner the fire, no browning yet. 125ml for $80 is a great price, and even better if you go during a sale. There is a Replica by the fire place type of smokiness but its not nearly as heavy. Definitely Phlur Vanilla Skin the MIST not the edp. It leans fem but I think its unisex enough for a man especially a young man. I think its beautiful and i would recommend. I initially got a travel size and immediately took it back and got a full bottle.

This is a very inoffensive, basic vanilla. Very similar to Phlur’s Vanilla Skin, but where Vanilla Skin pulls more spicy, this is much sweeter. Very prominent sugar cube note, so I agree with commenters who state this can be borderline too sweet for a vanilla blind buy. To me what I actually smell the most is the orange blossom base note and it reminds me of a cream sickle, which I like. This is actually my favorite of Ariana’s perfumes that I’ve smelt thus far, but it’s not a standout or anything particularly special or interesting.

Didn't love it upon first sniff, but after a wear test, it performed way better than I expected it to. It's been 13 hours and is only now fading into nothing. It's not earth shattering. It's pleasant, but I wouldn't recommend buying it if you have something similar. It does remind me of VS Bare Sueded Vanilla upon first spray but I don't think they're that similar after the first few seconds.

Great Vanilla Scent overall! Soft creamy cashmere and vanilla spot on. Very surprised I haven’t seen anyone compare this to In Control Curious by Britney Spears, it literally smells so much like that smells like the crème brulee note in that perfume, this one is just a better formula and has a nicer woody base. Overall a great buy not too overprice especially for the size.

I blind bought this one and hate the nozzle, ugh! That aside, it lasts moderately on the skin, a good few hours. It’s a sandlewood heavy vanilla and I layer it with SDJ 59 body butter. Perfect match! I don’t get quite the super super straightforward sweetness of some other vanillas (such as Kayali 28). It’s definitely not sugar on top of sugar on my skin.

Very specifically reminds me of a French Vanilla flavored macaron. There truly is a "plush" cozy vibe to it. Surprisingly long lasting for me. She's cute. The price for the 4oz you get is actually quite the bargain compared to other brands. Ultimately, if you don't already have a vanilla fragrance in your collection, I think this is a great option!

I get a sweeter version of Vanilla Skin and I’m not mad about it. While I like vanilla skin I get this off putting BO smell on first spray that Plush Vanilla doesn’t have so that’s a plus. I have to do a full day wear to test longevity since it’s pretty light but I smelled it right after it was delivered so it may need to settle for a day or two.

I bought the travel size of this because I tested it in the store and liked it. Now that I’ve worn it a few times, to me it smells identical to Vanilla Skin but I think it has more longevity than Vanilla Skin which fades on me quickly. In any case, I like both but I don’t see the need to own both brands, that’s how similar they are to my nose.

Listen - there is nothing crazy or new going on here. This is a meringue-y, sweet, fluffy vanilla - a sibling to SC's Sweet Tooth and EB's Marshmallows. It smells nice and comforting and warm. I feel like there isn't much to discuss about this - it's another vanilla perfume!!!! You are going to smell good if you wear this! Yeehaw

I feel the name is a little misleading. I immediately get Kayali Vanilla 28 without a doubt. As it dries down to a mod and vanilla 28 mix. Its actually much more woody and darker than I expected and thought!!!! BUT SO LIGHT. There are so many vanilla scents out there so I appreciate you Ari for your version!

This is nice. Simple but elegant. I actually got a compliment with this one. But it was after a hug, so take that for what it is lol.
