Vanilla Vice

Vanilla Vice – A Spring Vanilla You Didn’t Know You Needed I’m wearing this on a beautiful spring day, and I have to say... I don’t think people realize this is a spring fragrance. Everyone sees the notes — vanilla, sugar, ice cream, amber — and immediately checks the boxes: ❌ too heavy ❌ too sweet ❌ must be fall/winter Trust me... cross those out. ❌❌❌ Because on skin, this is something completely different. This is a light, airy, slightly musky vanilla that feels soft, clean, and surprisingly fresh. The sweetness is there, but it’s not dense or syrupy. It’s more like a gentle, whipped vanilla that floats. The musk and Orcanox really come through and give it that “your skin but better” quality — which is what makes this work so well in warmer weather. On my skin, this reads: ✨ soft vanilla cream ✨ clean, musky warmth ✨ a subtle sweetness that never overwhelms There’s something almost breezy about it — like vanilla carried on a warm spring air rather than sitting heavy on the skin. And that’s what makes this special. This is not a loud gourmand. This is a wearable, everyday vanilla that feels effortless and pretty. I can absolutely see this being: 🌸 perfect for spring days ☀️ easy to wear in mild heat ✨ a soft signature scent Now — in other seasons? That’s where layering comes in. This becomes an incredible base in fall and winter. You can build on it with deeper gourmands, woods, or spices and it holds everything beautifully. But right now, in spring? It stands on its own. This is one of those fragrances that quietly proves: vanilla is not just for cold weather. And if you’re like me and love finding unexpected seasonal twists... this one is worth a second look. If you want to see what I’m layering this with and how it wears in real time, I’m always sharing over on TikTok 👉 @buzzwithhoneybee 💜✨

Ive been using the website for a while but finally just made an account to leave this specific review because I cant believe the amount of hate on this. I consider myself a gourmand and specifically vanilla connoisseur and I had never heard of this until I got recommended it by an ulta employee last night and bought it on the spot. To me it smells a lot like phlur vanilla skin if it were less spicy and strictly sweet and now that i think about it I do get mod vanilla from it too but without the fruityness. I agree that if you like vanilla 28 you will like this, its like a vanilla 28 that you would wear every day instead of on expensive occasions. I also plan to layer this with eos vanilla cashmere lotion and sol de janeiro 62 spray if that tells you what category it’s in. Honestly just sweet vanilla cupcake in my opinion. After I left ulta I went to the gym and when I tell you I was in my own little scent bubble the entire time and on the way home too. It PROJECTS! I loveeee when you can smell a perfume on yourself and you definitely can with this one! Definitely going to be a new every day perfume for me and Im eternally grateful to that ulta employee.

I'm the opposite of most of the negative reviews for this, I tend to adore spicy, musky, unisex-leaning scents and avoid scents that are overly sweet. I would have never thought to try this because of the marketing and name but a store assistant led me to this scent and I fell in love. It smelled a bit odd on the paper sampler, like licorice and vanilla but after a minute it smells lovely. On my skin it's a different story. No licorice smell, I do personally smell vanilla prominently and it's equally complimented by the musk and woodsy scents. Don't blindly buy it if you can, I understand why people could consider this odd but I love it. This may not be your thing if you prefer sweeter, more feminine scents and I do agree the marketing could be misleading. It's also lovely because I can get overwhelmed by a lot of perfumes and want to ensure people around me can't smell me and get headaches, so one spray of this is enough for me and those very close to me. It also lasts a long time, I still smell it faintly on my wrists over 24 hours later.

I am baffled as to why this scent has so many negative reviews?? It's one of the coziest vanillas I think I have ever come across... The amber in this adds the most comforting, fluffy notes I've ever encountered when it meets this slightly near-smoky vanilla. It definitely gives more "waffle cone soaked with sticky melted vanilla bean ice cream" rather than just ice cream, but it's delicious. Just sophisticated enough to keep it from being juvenile, just playful enough to keep it from being too boring or stale... this is a solid, dependable vanilla, with a slight twist. I'm very happy. This lasted all day through my work shift. It's got some LONGEVITY. Surrounded me with a cloud of fluffy, ambery vanilla for the whole day. (Edit: to emphasize the longevity of this one, if i spray more than once throughout the day, a run through the washer is not enough to remove the smell completely. It. LASTS.)

I truly believe in body chemistry because this IS vanilla ice cream. I hate that some won’t get to experience it. Every time I turn my head I get such a warm sugary toasted vanilla. Close your eyes— picture yourself eating an old fashioned vanilla ice cream on a freshly made crispy waffle cone. As you’re down to that last bit of ice cream, but right before you devour the cone, THATS Vanilla Vice. It’s like that sticky smell you get when it’s all over your hands dried up, and it’s all shiny inside of the cone. An absolute pleasure of a fragrance. I did one spray on the front of my chest under my shirt @9am, went to a barber appointment on the 10th floor @12pm.. filled up the entire building lobby and elevator. This EDT needs to definitely be recategorized!!
