The heart blooms with exotic ylang ylang, lush jasmine, and sweet, creamy, and airy whipped cream. The dry down envelopes you in a sensual and sweet powdery vanilla, cozy benzoin, soft musk, and comforting woody notes. It’s very well rounded and balanced. The most prominent notes on me are the sea salt, watery notes, whipped cream, and vanilla. Oh my goodness this is so gorgeous! Definitely full bottle worthy imo! It’s sweet, but not at all cloying. It’s creamy in the best possible way, which doesn’t come off as particularly lactonic, but more just like delicate and fluffy whipped cream. It’s well rounded, but not super deep, which I really like here for the style of fragrance this is. Even though this is a rather unique scent, it still manages to be an easy reach. It feels feminine to me, as well as being suitable for all ages. I think most people would probably reach for this the most during the spring, summer, and fall. However, I feel like it works well throughout the whole year since it’s fresh (aquatic/marine) and delicate for the heat, yet sweet and cozy enough for colder weather. It feels suitable for pretty much any occasion from casual to fancy, and including work and/or school. It’s very well balanced Love at first sniff, and already has hit my top favorite Ellis Brooklyn perfume!😍 I have several other fragrances from the EB line including perfumes in Queens Caramel, Miami Nectar, Bee, Vanilla Milk, Salt, and Myth. I also have the mists in Marshmallows (my favorite!), Sand, and Vanilla Sin. I really enjoy all of them, but my faves are Marshmallows, Vanilla Salt, Queens Caramel, Sand, and Miami Nectar! I also just got some samples with this order (Vanilla Salt and Queens Caramel), Guava Granita and Après, and I’m really excited to try them! In comparison to Vanilla Milk and Salt I absolutely love Vanilla Salt a lot more! Compared to Vanilla Milk this is much lighter and doesn’t have the heavy lactonic accord. It comes off as much more fresh, aquatic/marine, and salty, but still has a beautiful sweet and creamy yet airy whipped cream and powdery vanilla. Compared to Salt, this is much less floral, less amber-y, less musky, more sweet, more aquatic, and obviously has the lovely powdery vanilla and sweet and airy whipped cream. I definitely see the similarity to JHAG Vanilla Vibes, which is another one that I really enjoy! To me, Vanilla Vibes comes off slightly more fresh and a bit more aquatic/marine, while Vanilla Salt seems slightly more vanilla forward, and more powdery. They both have a really pretty and unique salty twist that I really enjoy. I also see some similarities to Alien Goddess and JPG Divine. For reference, some of my other favorite 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, Sunkissed Goddess, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Selena Gomez Rare, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, D&G The One Desire, The Only One Intense, JPG Classique Pin Up, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, Cashmere Skin, Beach Skin, SDJ Summer é Amor, 62, 39, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries, Bonfire Bash

I had to come back and completely re-review this fragrance because my opinion has done a total 180. When I first tried this, I was honestly disappointed. Based on the marketing, I was expecting a salty gourmand ice cream cone type of scent, and that's just not what this is. My expectations were completely different, so I think I judged it unfairly. But I kept reaching for my sample... and somewhere along the way I absolutely fell in love with it. Now I cannot stop wearing it. This is such a beautiful take on a summer vanilla. It opens with this breezy aquatic salt air that feels perfect for warm weather, and then it quickly dries down into a creamy beachy vanilla. It's not heavy or overly sweet—it somehow manages to be fresh and comforting at the same time. I've gotten so many compliments wearing this. I've had two waitresses stop me and ask what I was wearing, then pull out their phones so I could write it down because they didn’t want to forget. So if you were expecting straight-up vanilla ice cream like I was, adjust your expectations. This isn't that. But if you're looking for a unique, addictive summer vanilla that keeps you coming back for another sniff, don't make the same mistake I did. I'm so glad I gave my sample another chance because this has become one of my most-worn fragrances.

Wow! I’m speechless. 😳 Perfect any day & all day vanilla fragrance! 🤩💕 It’s just the right amount of sweetness, elegant, joyful, airy, bright & playful. 🤍🍦 NOT too heavily bakery gourmand at all! Even though I love me Bianco latte but I can’t wear that much of a gourmand on any day. This type of vanilla you can! I had a STRONG feeling I’d love it when it first came out, but the bad reviews on vanilla milk perfume made me really scared to get it as it’s more expensive in Germany. I consulted Reddit & I’m so glad I bought it! Honestly I’m shocked! I expected it to be nice but not in love from first sniff that rarely happens to me. And I think I’m shocked because I’m not familiar with what “salty” perfumes man? Since I love sweet perfumes I thought the saltiness of it may not make me like it but I’m very pleasantly surprised! 🤤 It smells kinda familiar, anyone know what perfume it smells similar too? I got Divine Le Parfum (more amber) but I think the regular divine may have some resemblance to? The only negatives is now I need to save up 120€ for a full bottle in a season of limited edition body mists I just got from Ellis Brooklyn. 🥲 Knowing this brand sometimes her perfume doesn’t last as long as I’d like, especially for the price but STILL, I want it FULL bottle ASAP!😍🥰 ~

I was really excited for this— I expected something cozy, creamy, and just a touch briny, like a sweet vanilla ice cream sprinkled with sea salt. Unfortunately I was way off... the marketing totally mislead me so If you’re expecting a warm, sweet, beachy vanilla with a touch of a gourmand edge, this might feel jarringly different. This is a fresh and floral-forward, with a watery marine accord dominating for most of the wear. The opening hits with a sharp burst of marine notes that lean a bit masculine. Then as it starts to dry into a prominently floral heart that outshines the vanilla and the almost non existent whipped cream note—making it feel more like a breezy ocean-side bouquet rather than a gourmand treat. The vanilla is there, but it’s light and airy, not rich or creamy. The salty aspect feels more like sea spray than a salted dessert. UPDATE: She’s growing on me. This is a sweeter and more interesting vanilla vibes by JHAG. I will consider purchasing this once my vanilla vibes is out. I think I was just completely thrown off by the ice cream cone marketing and was a touch disappointed but this is nice.

I’ve owned this perfume since it was first released in August 2025. At first it was very light and airy with vanilla and salt to be most prominent to me. Smelling like eating a creamy vanilla bean icecream, out of a buttery (not popcorn) waffle while sitting by the sea and the ocean spray smells fresh and salty. I’m sensitive to jasmine and musk but I took a chance on this as no other EB perfume has triggered my allergies. Now that I’ve owned this perfume for 6+ months, I still get the yummy sea side vanilla, except now I get a stronger scent of jasmine and musk. This is still a beautiful sweet, salty aquatic vanilla. However, it’s not quite a gourmand as the white floral and musk do stand out more to me now. The florals elevate this fragrance from more than a sweet treat to an versatile, elegant, clean, powdery floral scent. It’s a skin scent that gives a fresh out the shower slightly powdery vibe. I found this perfume performed best when layered over the Saltair Saltwater Vanilla body mist.

I’ve been wearing this perfume for about a week now. I really enjoy the airy and sea water saltiness I get from this. It almost feels like I can smell the fizz from the ocean like you would a champagne essence. The whipped cream and vanilla combo are apparent as the scent never gets too salty. It’s rounded out nicely with the creamy warm notes. The jasmine and ylang brighten up the scent without being too distinguishable. I’m super sensitive to florals and this gets a green light from me. This scent makes me feel fresh, clean and put together without being too sweet or smelling like it should be reserved for dressy events. So far this is a day time, warm weather scent for me. Perfect for the Florida heat. This is my first salty fragrance and I love it. I prioritize clean scents free of hazardous chemicals and brands that are transparent and give back to charity. So this brand and scent are winners for me.

aquatic salty vanilla. like sublimity from lore + vanilla + salt. its nice, light, airy... def very appropriate for summer. if you're going to wear a vanilla on a hot day, this is the one to go with. somehow, the longevity is insanely good on me, and I have very dry skin so thats not something that happens often. not linear at all, it goes through an evolution... so definitely give it a few day-long wears before deciding how you really feel about it. update: I've been wearing it for a few days, and I love it more with each wear. its somewhat distantly related to rare/burberry goddess/gorgeous orchid, but like... this is their cousin that lives in Santorini and spends most of her time at the beach. it IS safe for all seasons though, cause the vanilla keeps it versatile. the first time I wore it in public, I got a compliment seconds after I left the house with it on. absolutely signature potential.

Wow what a unique and tastefully done vanilla. I've never smelled a vanilla like this before. The salt and ylang-ylang really do give a beachy feel to this perfume without it being coconutty or basic. This has converted me into a fan of Ellis Brooklyn. I was kind of hesitant to get into the brand until this. It really does give the vibe that the marketing photos give off. Light, airy, fluffy, salty, coastal... yet still chic, elevated, sophisticated, luxe... I think this is easily Ellis Brooklyn's best release I've smelled. The truly perfect summer vanilla fragrance. The only thing lacking is the performance. Very intimate silage and limited longevity - only about 2 hours or so. Rating: 9.5/10 (docking a half point for longevity)

Beautifully reminiscent of a high end resort or living in Spain or Italy ( even if I have never lived there lol). Love that the scent is alluring yet classy...doesn't remind of boring sunscreen scents like MM beach walk. Smells like a guy wearing a white button down shirt or a pretty woman in a flowing white dress wearing manolo heels. Smells like ocean waves being laced with vanilla/ whipped cream goodness. I have worn this scent and I have been told this is my signature and that I smelt expensive. My friend also stated that this would be the perfect scent for attracting a rich partner ;) If you want the scent to linger on your clothes for days on end. 6-7 hours on skin.Classy yacht scent!

I was worried this wouldn't have much strength/longevity but wow! I sprayed exactly one spray earlier on my arm and I could still smell it strongly for at least an hour, even with my sleeve down. It's been several hours now and I can still smell it when I pull my sleeve up. I'd say it may even be stronger than the other two EB perfumes I have (Miami Nectar and Guava Granita). I'm not a gourmand girl and this is a perfect vanilla for me. It's a bit sweet (not too much), a bit salty, definitely gives clean girl vanilla to me. Looking forward to trying it on my clothes and with more sprays in the future to see just how far it can really go! But first true wear test is great.

This is soapy to me. Sweet and a bit salty. This is not Salt and Vanilla Milk combined at all. I'm not picking up either previous scent in this. This seems like it stands on its own. I'm not getting milky at all. Maybe cool whip, so it's a bit creamy and airy. This is closer to what I hoped Dear Sky would smell like. This is not strong on my skin, but I get light whiffs as I move around, from what I sprayed on my clothes. I like it, but it's not their best scent. It doesn't have a huge impact like Salt, Sweet, Or Sunfruit. It's going to be great for days I know I will be in close quarters to others. I see this as a great office or public transit scent!

I don't know why this is getting so much hate. It's a woody aquatic vanilla in the same vein as Levante by 1942 Nobiles, Antiqua Bay by Morph, or Vanilla Monsoon by Salum. I'm not getting much floral at all on paper or my skin, it's a salty woody vanilla scent, def not a mix between salt and vanilla milk, it's not nearly as lactonic. An easy reach and good if you'd like to try a sweet creamy vanilla without going all in on the gourmand trend.

This is a beautiful, aromatic vanilla. It’s ever so slightly gourmand but I wouldn’t consider it a true gourmand. It’s a clean, unique vanilla for those of us who dislike sickly sweet vanilla scents. The salt/mineral notes are subtle and well blended. Not too salty, not too floral, not too sweet. Perfectly balanced. I don’t love vanilla during the Summer but this one is an exception. Bonus points for it not being sunscreen-y! I love it!

This is so beautiful, it is now my bedtime scent, I put it on at 9pm and it was still strong at 5am when I got up, it gets even better as the night goes on, it wears beautifully and is soft and sweet. I didn't realise I liked Salt as a note, now i have to go and find lots of other fragrances with it!

a softer take on Alien Goddess EDP by Mugler + a delicious whipped vanilla note = Vanilla Salt! price point is a little steep for me, but I absolutely will be grabbing a bottle when it goes on sale. 10/10 for the scent and it’s still going strong after 4 hours since being sprayed on my clothes.

Elegant, fluffy, salty vanilla. It’s creamy, but not milky. It is not sweet enough to evoke ice cream, so that was a miss by the marketing team. It should have been released at the end of spring. I will upgrade my travel spray to a full bottle next summer.

Very similar to JHAG Vanilla Vibes. The first 5-10 seconds its kinda masculine to my nose due to the marine and salty notes, but then it calms down and becomes more creamy and warm, leans more feminine. This can totally be worn all year round. Love it!

i didnt like this the first time i smelled it, but then i recently tried again and i love it. it's a sweet but slightly salty/fresh vanilla. i'm iffy on salty/marine scents but this is fantastic. it's super strong too so you don't need too much.

Makes me feel like freya. The Norse godess of love and beauty. Sweet, femminine, enticing and alluring. Fierce but full of love. These are what freya's tears smelled like as they rolled down her cheek as she looked for her beloved Odr

in the opening it’s very aquatic and soapy but i still smell vanilla through it. i actually love the opening it smells so chique. after a while it smells like eating a vanilla ice cream sitting at the beach. it’s soooo good!!
