Vanilla Love

The aroma of freshly baked cookies cooling on the kitchen counter, where the toasty notes of vanilla and spices mix with a hint of earthy patchouli.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Jimmy Choo and crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac, Vanilla Love is a warm and enveloping Oriental vanilla fragrance. The composition opens with the fresh spiciness of black pepper and apple, creating an initial contrast that gives way to the heart notes of myrrh and saffron, adding depth and warmth. At its core lies a rich blend of vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli, toffee, and amber, which blend into a comforting balsamic and powdery finish.

How to wear it

Apply Vanilla Love in light layers — it builds gradually over time. The warm base notes will hold up well into the evening, so avoid heavy application during the day when the top notes are more pronounced.
