THE BEST VANILLA PERFUME

Vanilla is an ever popular ingredient in both male and female fragrances. Adding just a hint of sweetness, it compliments basically any other ingredient with it. Ranging from fruity scents when mixed with apple or bergamot, to the more musky and woody scents when mixed with sandalwood and amber. 

Here is everything and anything you need to know when it comes to vanilla in perfume. 

VANILLA PERFUME – THE HISTORY 

Vanilla has a deep and ancient history in the world of fragrance. Such as being used to scent temples and other religious sites like in ancient Mexico.
People don't often realize that vanilla perfume derives from a specific type of EDIBLE orchid. 

IS VANILLA-SCENTED PERFUME FOR YOU?

Vanilla perfume - you either love it or hate. If you're not familiar with the scent of this bean, imagine a vanilla bean ice cream cone on a warm summer day and tone the smell down just a tad to keep that scent of sugar that you'll take in from normal ice cream. 

Normally vanilla forms at the base not of a perfume, meaning that it tends to really kick into action a few minutes after the initial application of your cologne or perfume. If you're a fan of fresh and fun scents than you'll be a fan of vanilla!
