The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Juliette Has A Gun, Vanilla Vibes quickly gained traction through its distinctive salted-vanilla composition, which has made it a staple summer scent on TikTok. The fragrance opens with a surprising burst of Salt, immediately setting the tone for something fresh and unexpected. This is followed by a heart of Vanilla Absolute and Orchid that brings warmth and depth without being overly sweet. The base notes of Musk, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, and Benzoin create a powdery, woody backdrop that keeps the scent from feeling too one-dimensional.
One spray is often enough to capture the essence of Vanilla Vibes. The salt top note fades within an hour but leaves a subtle lingering effect that enhances the vanilla and woody base notes. Best suited for daytime wear, as it reads best close to skin rather than in open spaces.
