This blend isn’t full blown sweet vanilla, but rather a more nuanced twist on the beloved note, with hints of sea salt and sandalwood. “Don’t let the notes fool you - this is ocean spray and salted caramel that’s light enough for a summer day but enticing enough for a winter evening.” “Vanilla Vibes is a must-smell,” says James.

Yet, in the 30 years since gourmands entered the perfume scene, their popularity has only grown.
