You can’t beat the delicious, warm scent of vanilla for the cold winter months. I’m personally obsessed with delectable fragrance and can’t get enough of it. I already have a number of vanilla perfumes, and I’ll likely add some more to my growing collection before the season’s over. If you have a thing for sweet fragrances, too, I found a bunch of vanilla-scented products that you simply must have. As a vanilla aficionado, these are some of my favorites, along with others I have my eye on. Shop my vanilla perfume, bodycare, and candle picks below.

Vanilla Perfumes, Bodycare, and Candles for Winter

Phlur Vanilla Skin

I was told I smelled like cookies once while wearing this fragrance, which is exactly how I want to smell. The vanilla perfume isn’t too sweet, though; the base notes of benzoin, sandalwood, and agarwood give it a slightly woodsy feel. And if you’re really into gourmand fragrances, you can also snag this set of three that includes Vanilla Skin, Caramel Skin, and Coconut Skin. (I happen to have all three and can confirm they all smell amazing.)

By Rosie Jane Dulce Eau de Parfum

I’m casually obsessed with this vanilla perfume that features notes of chocolate, hinoki wood, and nude musk. Personally, I think it smells super similar to actual vanilla extract, making it great if you want a scent that’s heavy on the vanilla. One reviewer said it smells exactly like vanilla ice cream, while another shared, “It’s sweet, sophisticated, musky, and earthy.” Plus, the perfume is vegan and cruelty free. You can even layer the vanilla fragrance with matching lotion and body wash for an even stronger scent.

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Romance Daily Nourishing Body Lotion

This Bath & Body Works vanilla scent is my latest favorite, and I love the creamy body lotion. In addition to vanilla, the lotion has notes of cardamom and woods to give it a spicy, woody fragrance. Made with coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E, the dermatologist-tested lotion provides lightweight hydration, which is especially great during the dry winter season. According to one shopper who uses it every day, it feels “silky smooth and not greasy” on your skin.

Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake Hydrating Shower Gel

Not only does this shower gel smell yummy, but it also doesn’t leave my dry, sensitive skin feeling tight after a shower. The formula delivers hydration that seeps into your skin so it doesn’t simply rinse off as you cleanse. And the notes of coconut butter, creamy vanilla, and caramel smell delicious, too. One customer said, “It reminds me of vanilla frosting on a cake. It also has a good lather and silky texture that feels good on the skin, leaving it nice and smooth.”
