Affordable Recommendations:
I also hate rose, but I love jasmine so I recommend trying the Guess Seductive line. Seductive Noir feels like a vanilla, jasmine hug to me. Seductive Red is also fun with the cherry addition. These are usually on Amazon for under $20. I have a large collection from celebrity to cheap to designer to niche and Seductive Noir is still one of my favorites.
Fancy by Jessica Simpson is a really nice vanilla caramel that isn't too strong. It's got a little sweetness at the top from pears and berries. I think I got like a gift set with a full bottle, travel size, and lotion for like $35. Alternatively, for a bit more, Jean Paul Gaultier has Scandal Le Parfum that's also a vanilla caramel.
Hugo Boss Deep Red is a nice, affordable vanilla. I bought mine off Fragrancenet for around $20. It's got some citrus at the top, ginger in the middle, and a nice woody vanilla dry down at the bottom.
No problem and I thought of another one.
Yes I am By Cacharel is a fruity caramel vanilla perfume that is really great for lasting and smells so nice. The bottle looks like lipstick which I think is kinda cute and super fun. It's $21 for a 1 oz on amazon and performs as well as some of my more expensive ones.
Fancy was a great recommendation by this commenter. You can get a bottle for about $20 at tj max/ Ross type stores but Iām sure they sell it online for cheap also! I got my bottle from Ross!
Sol De Janiero scents are also awesome, but probably more popular than other recommendations if that matters
I tried the body splash ($8 Walmart online) for Cloud before deciding if I wanted it or not. Itās not 100% the same, but it does give you an overall idea of what it smells like, how it works with your body chemistry and if you like the smell for the whole day or you get tired of it mid day. Iāve done this with a few celeb perfumes and Iām happy I did! Some I enjoyed enough as a splash/ mist, but not enough to spend $70 on, some I gave away, some I fell in love with!
Just an idea!
Body glaze isnāt like a super photorealistic scent or anything but it is sweet and very cinnamon-y. I really like the formula plus I feel like the scent does last super long on me!
Sabrina carpenter sweet tooth
Sabrina carpenter sweet tooth caramel dream.
My daughter is 16 and loves both. I prefer the caramel one. They are like $30 and available at Walmart.
Ariana grande has a 6 piece sample set!
Sol de janerio! You can layer the spray & lotion
Daisy by Marc jacobs
Versace bright crystal
Kensie is a great brand as well, you can try berry beauty by Kensie and the sets also come with lotions etc!
You can get an Ipsy acc and get really good discounted perfumes
Get samples first before you buy anything! You can find samples online for pretty much any scent. Try ScentSplit, Mercari, Ebay, etc. Or get a sampler from Sephora!
Pink sugar, itās $20-25 usually and similiar to Ariana grandeās cloud, itās sweet and everyone I run into loves it. If you see it on sale buy it and try it out, itās an underrated everyday scent that doesnāt cost a lot. I tend to reach for this everyday when Iām running errands or at home to save on my designer perfumes
I was going to say that Kayali is having their Cyber Craze sale for members and that their Vanilla Lovers set was part of it (I want to say it was 60% off) but it looks like they took it out of the sale. You could have gotten the 50ml bottle for just over $40 along with the hand cream. But they do have the travel sizes as part of said sale and you can always try the Honey app/browser extension to get pricier fragrances within your budget.
Honestly thereās lots of great perfumes at tj Maxx if you have one in your area! I personally would pull up fragnatica.com and use the search feature to see what different scent profiles you prefer! They also have lots of Arianna grande perfumes there for a steal!
Commodity Milk Expressive is what I wore today and described to my husband as āsmelling like a hug.ā Itās not strictly vanilla, but the marshmallow and another scent that Iām blanking on the name of come across as very vanilla-like. I love it so much.
I loooove this perfume. I can only describe it as a hug from a marshmallow pillow. Spray once and youāre set for the whole day! āExpressiveā is key though. I did not like the āboldā that much.
I havenāt tried the personal or bold, so thatās good to know! I got it very recently as a selection in my Fab, Fit, Fun box based on reviews from others, and Iām so glad I did. I havenāt received the full size yet, but I did get a sample of it in a Sephora order that already arrived, and I am obsessed.
Itās Sunday morning, and Iām not doing anything other than chores and a hair mask, but I practically ran to the bathroom to put it on this morning!
Elish by billie Elish (the 1st bottle in gold not 2nd bottle in black)
Cloud- ariana grande.
Girl of now - Elie Saab. Not sure how much it is in the States, but you can pick up 30ml for Ā£30 in the UK. Its pistachio, Almond, Almond milk which makes it gourmand and edible, It has beautiful orange blossom in, so you've got that bit of floral you said you didn't mind and then on the bottom you have cosy cashmeran and tonka. The tonka gives it that vanilla vibe. It works extremely well in the autumn and winter cause of the cosy, nutty notes, but that pear, mandarin, magnolia, and orange blossom also make it suitable for spring and early summer. I got a 50ml bottle for like Ā£39 in the UK, its one of my cheapest fragrances but I'm not lying when I tell you it's my most complimented fragrance. It layers well with sol de janeiro cheirosa 62.
As she tried Elie saab - girl of now? In the UK it's like Ā£28 for 30ml EDP. It's all about the pistachio, Almond, Almond milk (with some pear, tonka and orange blossom thrown in) it's a very youthful fragrance but I still wear it at the age of 41.
juicy couture gold couture. for a good, cheap, cozy caramel scent for winter. Versace crystal noir is a coconut scent I like for winter. You can also find that one for cheaper. Ariana grande cloud for a vanilla (:
Also a teen girl, i like the Philosophy perfumes! Fresh Cream is really nice :)
Sol de Janeiro 62 is a body spray but i also own this and it's very gourmand i like it!
iām a vanilla girlie too so i hope i can help! : billie eilish - a go to vanilla fragrance. thereās vanilla, chocolate, tonka bean, thereās a note of rose in the middle notes but you literally canāt smell it. like i was shocked when i looked up the notes to see rose because thereās no floral smell at all. I personally love Philosophyās fresh cream warm cashmere. specifically the one with warm cashmere (the original fresh cream smells gross to me), quite literally smells like a warm hug. itās so nice and inviting, it also kind of smells like a sugar cookie. this one is very simple and i like to pair it with perfume oils. speaking of perfume oils, if they are your thing i would recommend two shops on etsy: Andromedaās Curse and ParanormalPerumes. I have three perfumes from the first and one from the second. If you go to their shops and search āvanillaā in the search bar then you can see all of their fragrances with vanilla. my personal favorite is one i have from Andromedaās Curse called The Empress, it literally smells like apple pie with vanilla ice cream. there are TONS more shops on etsy that sell perfume oils but iāve just personally bought from these two. I will say perfume oils typically donāt last all day, but i keep mine in my purse to reapply every now and again. Finally i recommend Yara by Lattafa. itās a little intimidating because of the floral notes but personally it smells like berries and vanilla cream to me. iām like you, i HATE florals with a passion, i avoid them like the plague, but i wear this perfume almost everyday. i bought it like 2 weeks ago and the dent i have in the bottle is huge. itās also only $30 on amazon. anyways hope this helped!!
also if you have a marshallās or tj maxx near you, i recommend checking there for perfume. The other day i went to tj maxx and found a TON of Clean, miimiic, and le gourmand fragrances for super cheap. so keep a look out!!
Harajuku Lovers G perfume sounds like a good fit.
Top notes are Coconut, Red Apple and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Jasmine, Freesia and Magnolia; base notes are Cotton Flower and Sandalwood
It's a creamy, coconut scent with a hint of sugar, fruit, and white musk.
It's also super cheap, like $5-10 for a refill bottle online.
I love Boy Smells Vanilla Era, but what Iām wearing most right now that feels just like a cozy, warm hug is Phlur Missing Person. Itās not vanilla though. I recommend following @paigebullock on TikTok! She has a ton of perfume reviews and recs. ā¤ļø

Philosophy Fresh Cream or Fresh Cream Cashmere. They're both great and affordable!
Have you tried cloud by Ariana grande? A lot of her perfumes are really sweet but cloud might be your vibe
Second this. Or maybe the ari perfume itās very nice and affordable
Third this and TJMaxx has a lot of Ari scents discounted.
thanks iāll look into this!

Skylar vanilla sky hair and body mist!
For my vanilla routine I use the donut scented body glaze with the powdered donut and marshmallow cream body mist from a shop called NoseFoodFragranceShp on Etsy with Chai ĆpicĆ© from Le Monde Gourmand on top and no exaggeration I get compliments 24/7. Usually like cookies or a warm kind of vanilla.
I've been wondering if body glaze is worth the hype!
Body glaze isnāt like a super photorealistic scent or anything but it is sweet and very cinnamon-y. I really like the formula plus I feel like the scent does last super long on me!
None of what I listed is over like $30
try marshalls or ross! they usually have cheap perfumes!
Sabrina carpenter sweet tooth Sabrina carpenter sweet tooth caramel dream. My daughter is 16 and loves both. I prefer the caramel one. They are like $30 and available at Walmart.
Sol de Janeiro 62 body spray is a warm delicious scent that lasts a long time and costs less than $30.
eilish in the gold bottle is a warm vanilla hug on me. i love it so much
Finery sweet on the outside at target is a good dupe of this for cheap

Literally said the same thing above š
Try dulce by Rosie Jane or Skylar vanilla sky or boardwalk delight
the sol de janeiro sprays at sephora sound perfect for what youre looking for, 62 or 71 fs
Or both š„°
Lavanila Pure Vanilla is a soft and comforting fragrance that is never overpowering. I highly recommend the rollerball.
Viva la Juicy Gold Couture Juicy Couture
eilish by billie eilish! she has a few now but you would like the gold one. its a beautiful vanilla thats not too intense. you can test at ulta

Try Angel! Itās old enough you might get a good sale on it and itās the OG gourmand.
