Sunlit Vanilla

Sweet, vanilla, caramel, coconut, powdery, warm, amber, lactonic, musky, radiant, luminous, feminine, chic, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, enchanting, dreamy, delightful, luxurious, alluring, tempting, addictive, delicious, intriguing, inviting, cozy, comforting This is absolutely gorgeous! An almost decadent combination of sweet and creamy caramel, tropical coconut, sensual and powdery vanilla, rich tonka bean, and the golden warmth of amber with touches of radiant bergamot and soft musk.it opens a bit brighter, and dries down more creamy and decadent. The most prominent notes on me are the vanilla, caramel, and coconut followed by the amber and tonka bean. Sunlit Vanilla really is the perfect name for it! I do typically really enjoy vanilla coconut scents, but for some reason this one wasn’t high up on my list of ones to get. However, after a few ladies who enjoy similar fragrances as I do highly recommended this one to me I immediately added it to my order. I’m so glad I did because I absolutely love it! It’s a bit more unique than other coconut vanillas that I own, maybe because of the amount of caramel in it possibly. Also, I don’t get any sun tan lotion type of vibe with this one. Definitely full bottle worthy imo! I do see some similarities between Sunlit Vanilla and Bianco Latte, Rosie Jane Dulce, SDJ 62, 39/Coco Cabana, Ellis Brooklyn Queen’s Caramel, and BBW Whipped Honey & Vanilla (all of which I also own and really love!). However, I wouldn’t consider it close to a dupe to any of them, just similar in some ways. I surprisingly feel that it’s close enough to SDJ Coco Cabana /39 because they’re both thick vanillas with creamy coconut, but Sunlit Vanilla has the addition of decadent caramel. This feels feminine to me, and like it would suit women of any age. I think it’s most fitting during the spring, summer, and fall, but could also be worn during the winter. I think this works well for all occasions from casual to fancy, including work/school. I get great performance with Sunlit Vanilla. The longevity is on the strong side as it lasts 8+ hours on my skin. The projection is at least moderate, it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me.

I love this one, it’s definitely not pure vanilla but you can detect it. It’s kind of what i thought Sol de Janeiro 62 would be, minus the salt and pistachio lol. Idk if it’s just me, but 62 smells nothing like the notes and is just artificially fruity & tropical; no caramel, vanilla, pistachio, NOT gourmand at all which was so disappointing lol Anyway, i sprayed a tester of this on me, and kept smelling it after (and was addicted to the scent) but didn’t know if it was mixing with something else, so i had to go back to see. That store didn’t have a tester, so i risked buying it, turns out it was just that! It’s vanilla, tropical coconut and caramel and feels like a summer scent but not so much so where i wouldn’t wear it any other season. It could be seen as a little heavy for wearing in summer but it isn’t for me. It’s almost a colder weather scent to remind you of summer if that makes sense lol It lasts a long time, i keep getting whiffs of it (with a fan on, and on clothes) 14 hours after applying it. This does not smell anything like Eclaire to me (i haven’t smelled Bianco Latte), but it does smell good layered with that imo. Eclaire is definitely creamier and more vanilla forward, i don’t even get much caramel from that personally This isn’t super sweet, it’s pretty balanced in my opinion, but if you don’t like gourmands it might not be for you

Because I'm vanilla fan, not mention coconut, I bought a tester to test. I do like it as a man but absolutely leans, heavily fem. So much so my 21 year old daughter took the tester to Miami for spring break and her and all the roommates loved it. So I bought a bottle "for my daughter" and will try another wear to see if I can pull this off. I feel if I can pull off Vanille Planifolia I can pull this one off, although not the same and with the added sweet notes and coconut it may not work for a man. Oh well it's still a lovely perfume and may get one for my wife.

After I bought what I think is every vanilla perfume out there and never found one thats is sweet, but not sickly, not all the way to dessert sweet, sexy, beachy and summery perfume, I almost gave up. But this, this is what I was been looking for. Tried Bianco latte, tried Devotion, Devotion Intense, Vanilla Skin by Phlur (this came really close to what I was imagining but it lasts 5min on me), Bare Vanilla, Akro, you name it I tested it. This is my vanilla perfume. Simple, not super sweet, not overwhelming, smells perfect. And lasting on my skin. Love ❤️

Easy girly fragrance on the cheap side (of taste, not price) when you just wanna feel 12 again for some weird reason (the world sucks, it was so much better when we were innocent). Actually reminds me of smth I had smelled at that age, some kind of Barbie perfume from the 90’s but can’t put my finger on it. It’s basic, it’s fun, it’s cute, not everything must smell ultra niche and intellectual, it makes me happy when I spray it before bed or after a hard day and my boyfriend wants to eat me when wearing it, isn’t that enough? Hell yeah!

Love this fragrance. It is a great, refreshing summer scent. I get no resemblance to Bianco Latte. It is its own scent. The silage is noticeable in the best way. Summery, golden, a little sweet, a lot fresh. On dry down, for me it isn’t as sweet, but the warm scents of Tonka, Amber, musk and a little vanilla rests on my skin and envelops my senses. I really am enjoying this scent. I have gotten a few compliments after wearing a few times.

Right now, as I have spent the beginning of the warm season looking for creamy sweet coconut and vanilla, this frag is absolutely my jam. I wish the bergamot stuck around because it could use a little more uplift for the hot weather. I’m not in love with caramel lately, but I’m willing to overlook that because the coconut and vanilla are GIVING. I layer it with SDJ Cheirosa 62 and I am an edible beach goddess in this combo.

This MIGHT smell like a brand new bottle of BL at the top but even that’s a stretch. Def doesn’t smell like an older bottle of BL. Sunlit Vanilla gives salted caramel on melted vanilla ice cream. The salt is emphasized on my skin, which is what’s really sets it apart from BL for me. Do you need this? Debatable. For me, the way the caramel and coconut project off my skin in the sun makes this a no-brainer buy.

As much as I hate to praise viral “influencer” brands, I have to give credit where credit is due! This smells divine! Coconut and caramel work so well together, but it’s hard to find that combination. Summer Fridays did it right! This is a vanilla that you can wear in the summer and it distinguishes itself from a sea of vanillas! It’s cozy but not too sweet or synthetic!

This is actually very nice obviously nothing revolutionary, but it’s not straight up vanilla either I get the coconut in the opening and mid and in the dry down i get the musk and some amber but it’s a light amber and some Tonka it is a lovely fragrance to layer with things. Nice bottle decent price. Obviously it’s not very complex but for a gourmand lover this is good

This is very similar to Lush's Vanillary, but I think the vanilla note is sweeter and leans a bit more waffle cone. I think it's a bit heavy for summer, but I can't wait to wear this once it cools down — it projects very well and has decent longevity. A good signature vanilla scent that's not TOO gourmand to be cloying, yet still sweet enough to satisfy vanilla lovers.

I sprayed sunlit vanilla on my forearm and escapade gourmand on my wrist and I cannot distinguish between the two besides the fact that sunlit vanilla is slightly more “airy” and not quite as heavy. Instant fb purchase. It’s also similar to BL but without the harsh opening. If you want escapade gourmand but slightly less expensive (about $55) then get sunlit vanilla!

Wow this one really blew me away. If Bianco latte smells like burnt tires to you and gives you migraines then this is the better perfected version of it. Warm vanilla ice cream with a touch of coconut and caramel drizzle. Not cloying, not heavy/sticky, not overwhelming. The perfect poolside gourmond. And to me, everything I wished Bianco Latte was.

Sunlit Vanilla is very similar to Madera to my nose, only a little less powdery and slightly warmer. Once it warms up on the skin it’s very pretty and easy to wear. I can see why people are comparing this to Dream by The Maker, they have a similar vibe but they aren’t the same. This is safer and less nuanced.

Had to test this on me today for I am a lover of perfumes & a lover of their lip balms! To me at first it smelled alot like VS Bare Sueded Vanilla then after awhile I smelled more Rare Beauty perfume. This is amazing for I am a HUGE vanilla perfume fan. If you don’t like warm sweet vanillas it’s a no go.

I tried multiple vanillas, but I liked none of them. I was looking for a sweet but airy vanilla, which is comforting and stays for a long time. Sunlit Vanilla is perfect for this role, I really like it. As someone wrote down below, it is like salted caramel on melted vanilla ice cream.

I love it! It’s a beautiful caramel vanilla perfume that lasts ALL day! I tested it out on skin and paper then ended up buying it. People are hating on it but the brand does make lip balms and I knew what I was expecting. It reminds me of Rare Beauty perfume to some extent.

I got a full bottle for the summer and really liked it. This perfume gets me compliments every single time. It projects well but is not offensive. I'm almost running out and will most likely repurchase because it's one of the few vanillas that don't have a plasticky smell.

It’s basic but in a good way, like a great quality white t shirt. Smells sweet, clean and light, airy, a bit like ice cream, just tried it today and I keep smelling my hand, definitely makes me feel good. I know I will buy this, I give it ten days tops.

Very warm in a sunset after a day at the beach. A good out to dinner scent. Vanilla extract with a little hint of coconut and yellow flowers. I think it will appeal to most and the bottle is beautiful
