Last year I did a video on my top cold weather vanilla fragrances, and I said there simply wasn’t enough time to cover all the incredible options—so here I am with 10 more for autumn/winter 2025. In this edit I’m really covering all bases: deep and sexy vanillas, everyday vanillas, warm and cosy vanillas, proper gourmand vanillas, and the ones that smell delicious without going full “food”. If you love vanilla in cooler weather, there will 100% be something in here for you. I talk you through the vibe of each scent and where I’d wear it—like Arquiste The Architects Club for that chic, slightly smoky, aromatic sophistication, or Mancera Xplicit Vanilla when you want sweet-and-sexy date night energy. If you want to smell good enough to eat, Ellis Brooklyn Queens Caramel is a delicious salted caramel moment that still stays wearable, and BORNTOSTANDOUT Dirty Milk is rich, gooey caramel-milk comfort with a chic peppery twist. Then we go into the dark feminine showstoppers (YSL Babycat), the “chic with an edge” suede-leaning options (Valentino Punk Romantic), and the cosy elevated ‘fragrance blanket’ picks (Une Nuit Nomade Estrella de la Mañana, Liis Bo, and The Merchant of Venice Andalusian Soul).
