I normally dislike vanilla scents, to the point where I will often automatically exclude perfumes that use it as a note. The only reason I tried Vanilla Vibes is because it was part of a JHAG discovery set. And I’m so glad I did, because this is truly something special.
The saltiness beautifully balances out the soft, creamy vanilla and prevents it from becoming too cloying or heavy — it’s like vanilla took a beach holiday, and now has warm salty skin and faint echoes of coastal wood in their hair.
If you’re looking for a gourmand vanilla with beast mode projection, this scent probably isn’t for you. But if you want a cosy, unique vanilla that sits close to the skin and whispers about the sea, give it a try.
