Amber Vanilla

I love the ethos of the 7 Virtues brand, but this is the first of the line I've purchased a full bottle of and I am so happy I did, because I've been wearing the heck out of it. Don't you love it when a fragrance is a grower, and you just want to wear it more and more and explore more facets of it? I love a "clean-girl" skinscent as much as the next person, but despite comparisons above to Glossier You, to me it's not that. Amber Vanilla does feel somewhat molecular in how it wears (like a haze around you) but the recycled sandalwood and caramel notes bring a sweet warmth. The floral notes are quite low in the mix in comparison (on me), but I like that they're there, giving structure to the mid. The ambroxan and amber-woods-like base is sensitively done, so it all feels so wonderfully gauzy and amber-toned. How this comes off to me is like a comfort blanket or duvet-day, which I feel is the brand's intention since it's meant to evoke self-love. I really enjoy this more and more with every wear. Partner it with a good book and a cup of cocoa. IG:ScentAWeek

People say she doesn’t know what she wants, I don’t believe that’s true. She’s the gorgeous yet quiet girl in the room who does everything at ease. Makes everything stressful seem simple and does it with confidence. The pepper isn’t too strong, it just adds a bit of a salty quality along with the ambroxan. The vanilla and amber are almost as one linear note with the carnation adding softness but not turning it too sweet. I almost returned this scent when I received it, but I gave it a few more chances and smelled it out of the bottle during the day. In a second it clicked, that this is a comforting pep talk that says “yes girl, your makeup and hair look great. Remember to be kind to yourself” Checks boxes I didn’t know existed. I hope this works for you too!

One of my all-time favorites. I used two travel sizes of this scent before committing to a full bottle. It reminds me of my grandmother, but not in a "dusty" or negative context. It smells familiar, like a loved one. It's effortless and a little spicy, cozy without being too sweet, and slightly floral without feeling too feminine. I saw someone describe it as being similar to the pages of an old book, and I think that's an excellent way to put it. Sure, you could get something similar with Glossier You, but this perfume has a lot more oomph, imo. Anytime I'm not sure what to wear or don't want to get overwhelmed with a scent as I wear it through the day, I tend to find myself reaching for this one. Soooo good!

I’ve never really smelled a fragrance quite like this. It is such a versatile aroma. The pink pepper opening note is definitely large and in charge at first spray, but once you give this scent a chance to dry down, it turns into the most gorgeous, sweet, clean scent. The carnation stands out to me, as does the Iso E Super. It compliments my skin so well and wears for at least 6 hours. It’s great for spring/summer as the floral notes and the vanilla aren’t overly sweet but sweet enough. Some people claim this is a gourmand scent and I have to disagree. While you do get some vanilla, what really pushes forward is the floral amber notes. If you have a chance to buy the travel size, please do.

I will preface this by saying I'm fairly new to scents. I have the The 7 Virtues discovery set this and coconut sun were my favourites but I still think that they are too earthy overall for my preference to purchase a full bottle. Edit: I have found myself wearing this fragrance more and more. Amber Vanilla is just so easy, casual, cozy but pretty all at once. It seems to work with my lifestyle really well, even better than some of the other scents I own. I am a jeans and t-shirt type of woman that lives an outdoorsy lifestyle for reference. I have purchased a full sized bottle. I also really like what The 7 Virtues stands for so I am happy to purchase from them.

I was hesitant to try this one for a long time because I'm not a big fan of ambery vanillas. Thankfully, it turned out it smells nothing like the name. It's sort of a musky, slightly sweet, minty scent. Not sure if it's just my nose, but the mint I get is quite prominent, it gives me that cooling sensation at the back of my throat. Overall, I like it a lot and it's an easy reach for me all year round. I don't get the Glossier You comparison at all but I'm also noseblind to Iso E Super. Both You and Sonic Flower smelled like expired makeup to me and I don't get any powderiness at all from Amber Vanilla. Funny how different our scent perceptions can be.

I am obsessed with this! If you know Secret Genius by Primrose, then you'll know this smells almost identical! Amber Vanilla smells very clean, while also being very warm and inviting. The ambroxan and musk are quite prominent throughout. I’d describe the musk to be very similar to that of Glossier You. However, the perfume remains very warm and intoxicating throughout. The beautiful vanilla and amber peek through almost immediately, causing this gorgeous, clean, and warm fragrance. I personally find this fragrance to be addicting. I can’t stop smelling myself. I don’t think I’ve been more satisfied with a recent purchase, than I am by Amber Vanilla.

This is what I wanted Phlur Vanilla Skin to be. A soft, round, creamy, vanilla sweet but not syrupy heavy, musky skin scent. Feels like Phlur Missing Person + vanilla. Slightly more round a creamy than Glossier You. I find the notes to be puzzling - I don't get any zingy pink pepper, or bitter carnation at all. This feels like liquid cashmere and vanilla whipped cream. Not too sweet, or syrupy. Not dense or heavy. But also noot cold light airy fluffy like AG Cloud. It feels hazy, foggy, creamy, round vanilla and warm skin. Lasting power is great, extreme longevity on clothes. Sillage is intimate to moderate.

This is such an easy reach light vanilla musk for every day. I always reach for this when I don't know what perfume to wear. I find it perfect for work because it's discrete while remaining pleasant. To my nose I get a very airy vanilla blended with a clean musk that does not turn soapy. The projection is intimate but I've gotten compliments so it's definetly still noticeable and I can get whiffs of myself all throughout the day. Plus, it layers beautifully with my fresh florals by giving them a nice warm vanillic touch. I love it, it's so versatile and it has become a staple in my collection

this is so beautiful! a delicate, soft, gentle cozy vanilla indeed. on initial spray, this reminds me of Ariana Grande's Mod Vanilla but on the dry down, this reminds me a whole lot of MFK's Gentle Fluidity Gold (which is my dream fragrance!) but more resinous. This is a laid back, skin scent vanilla, really smells like a hug from your favourite person. I feel like this could easily be a signature skin-scent perfume that can be used all-year round. Wear this if you want to smell "effortlessly nice" or if you want to be someone's comfort person.

I am a bit surprised by the comparisons to JHAG Not a Perfume as on my skin these two scents are not similar at all. The JHAG to me is an almost citrusy/clean linen/just came out of the shower/soapy type of scent while Amber Vanilla is a warm/ soft/slightly sweet/comforting vanilla + some resinous amber. This to me smells identical to Aerin Amber Musk, a delicate fragrance that I love dearly but has virtually no staying power or projection. I will probably buy a full bottle of this once my Aerin travel spray runs out.

This frag feels like cuddling up on your Granny's linen couch in her coastal cottage with wood floors as the light is streaming through the breezy curtains. There is a vanilla candle burning and you're wearing the softest, airiest cashmere cardigan. I love the woodiness and soft, quiet muskiness of this scent. It's vanilla without being too sweet or gourmand - which I didn't realize was possible, until now. So pleasantly surprised and will be savoring my sample on days where I need a little extra coziness.

Love this, it has become one of my daily wears. Others have said that they disagree with the marketing, but "Ambery vanilla" is exactly how I would describe that smell. I feel it as a sweet, maternal skin scent. Softly, warmly feminine. I wear it when I need comfort, and want to feel like a warm hug and to pull others closer. Fantastic as a layering scent for other perhaps more complex fragrances, to add depth. It lasts 6+ hours on my skin with a lovely drydown, and even more if I spray it on clothes.

"It Girl, Clean Girl, That Girl, Pretty Girl." This perfume gives me all these vibes. It's sweet, sheer, fresh, uplifting, modern. It's not cloying, it's refreshing and dries down to a comforting sweet sheer vanilla. I have the travel size and am already almost out, so I purchased the full-sized bottle today. Can't wait to go through Spring with this scent. I also love that 7 Virtues is Canadian and a clean, non-toxic, ethical brand!! :) :) Woot Woot!

I reach for this almost every day lately. It’s a cozy musk with an almost pheromone-like quality for me - it smells like the skin of someone you’re attracted to. Sits very close to the body so it’s perfect for the office (if you’re looking for something with lots of projection this is definitely not that). I actually don’t get a ton of vanilla. To me it’s an iso e super scent more than anything else, with carnation and pink pepper on top.

This was a deeply pleasant surprise! Rose is a very strong hit or miss for me, and usually Amber disrupts the scent too much, but the vanilla brings all of the notes together in a super unexpected way! Especially because most vanilla fragrances are so basic and overdone, this scent seriously knocks it out of the park. This is the classiest gourmand I've ever tried and if the dry down is good too then I might have just fallen in love!

This is a beautifully quiet musky vanilla which invites a lot of little hand sniffs, such is my appreciation. This is a cosy night in, favourite sweatshirt, candles lit, comfort tv show perfume. It will not announce your entrance to a room. It’s a low-level seductive ‘smell me more because I smell delicious’ scent. It doesn’t last long but I don’t mind. Might consider a full bottle. Edit: Surprise...bought the full bottle!

I love it. Didn’t like it at first but now I cannot stop smelling my wrists. I own Glossier You and have tested the others that another reviewer mentioned are similar to Vanilla Amber. I barely get the similarities between any of them, not even close enough to keep from owning both fragrances. Also, I don’t like JHAG Not A Perfume. It’s one of my favorite blind buys and I’m ordering a backup and a travel size.

This is such a warm, mildly sweet, musky scent on my skin. It smells incredibly similar to Sonic Flower but without the carrot note. Amber Vanilla lasts a very long time on my skin, thank goodness. It's absolutely beautiful and reminds me of snuggling someone you love and smelling their warm, clean, musky, slightly sweet, soft skin. Lovely ❤️

I was so worried I wouldn’t like this because of my past experiences with skin scents. For some reason, some musks smell like crackers on me??? But this one is so pretty!!! It’s so soft, warm, a bit floral/woody while still maintaining this sweet amber and vanilla note.💗
