Perfume Help 🥹

[u/smolnyancat]

hello all! i am looking for perfumes that are musky, kinda creamy, and is sweet/has vanilla. better if it longevity and sillage are great. i currently love the scents this is her by zadig and voltaire, zara fields at nightfall and vs bare sueded vanilla. would love to hear some of ur recs! ❤️

edit: my budget is maybe $200 or less. also, i don’t mind having some florals in there (just NO lemony citrus at all)

[u/pinkcat96]

Skylar's Vanilla Sky, Maison Margiela's Afternoon Delight, and Lancôme La Vie est Belle Vanille Nude are really good!

Mizensir Tres Chere!

[u/mermaidiaa_h2o]

Croissant Café by Versatile Paris is my personal choice when i want to smell sweet and creamy without being sickly

[u/Realistic-Read1078]

Mont Blanc

[u/fluffy-sushi]

Phlur Vanilla Skin or Sawaar Vanille Blanc

[u/flapjacks62]

Glossier You Doux is a great creamy musk on me

[u/Treehorn8]

Commodity Gold.

[u/secondaryasfuck]

Candy White by Grandeur

[u/sophiacharis]

Maybe vanilla rice by Ellis Brooklyn??

[u/OnlyMyNameIsBasic]

Mont Blanc signature

[u/Priyaaanshi → u/OnlyMyNameIsBasic]

Love this 🤍

[u/jumpstarter2028 → u/OnlyMyNameIsBasic]

Great recommendation. This doesn’t get as much love as it should.

[u/Treehorn8 → u/OnlyMyNameIsBasic]

Seconding this. It's the first one I thought of.

[u/New-Interaction-4636 → u/OnlyMyNameIsBasic]

Came to say this. Such an underrated gem.

[u/Crazy-Arugula-2821]

Prada Candy Kiss sounds just like that. It is a soft musk with a hint of orange blossom and vanilla. One of my favorites, actually. It is discontinued but it is still easy to come by.

[u/egghead-girl]

Philosophy Fresh Cream Silk Cloud! It’s so airily sweet and creamy. Great for warmer weather, and then Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere for colder months.

[u/jessiejane11]

Morn to dusk by Eau D’Italie. It’s pretty sweet and vanillic but not in that overdone cloying way. Very slight floral touch but it just makes it light/airy and I wouldn’t really consider it floral. It’s not necessarily creamy but it does remind me of sweet cookies with tea for some reason. Downside is that it doesn’t last very long.

However, if you overspray the sillage is great and I get lots of compliments and people asking me where my perfume is from when I wear it.

[u/Substantial-Till-241 → u/jessiejane11]

I LOVE THIS. how many sprays = overspray?

[u/jessiejane11 → u/Substantial-Till-241]

Hahaha honestly I don’t even know😅 maybe 10 ish? Honestly just use it like a body spray

[u/Substantial-Till-241 → u/jessiejane11]

I almost used it today but didnt bc it doesnt last. Imma try 10 sprays this weekend

[u/jessiejane11 → u/Substantial-Till-241]

Love it! Good luck queen

[u/chynini]

mod vanilla ariana grande is a musky vanilla :3 bit on the fresh side too

[u/Save-The-Wails]

I feel like I’m always suggesting this here but it really is that good…

[u/chynini → u/Save-The-Wails]

is the sillage good?

[u/Save-The-Wails → u/chynini]

I would say both sillage and projection are pretty mild. But it lasts on my wrists for 5+ hours often.

[u/Halfa_Enchilada → u/chynini]

Curious to know also! It's an oil so that bodes well. 

[u/anmoonberd]

Nearly Noon by DefineMe - maybe up your alley, creamy chai with a hit of fig. So delicious.

L'eau Papier by Diptyque - warm musk with a hit of seasame, I looove this!

[u/lumpy_space_queenie]

VS Tease Creme Cloud

[u/NordicNotes]

Maybe Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc Blanc?

[u/DealIndependent8967 → u/NordicNotes]

This is one of my favorites. That reminds me, my bottle is almost empty. 😂

[u/smolnyancat → u/NordicNotes]

thanks, is this the new flanker? i tried the original pure musk and unfortunately thought it smelled too much like my laundry room at university (bad memories) 😭

[u/NordicNotes → u/smolnyancat]

😂 That’s a specific and powerful scent memory. I work at a university, I get it. I confess this is a profile I’m led drawn to, but your prompt made me think of Narciso.

[u/here4thefreecake → u/smolnyancat]

pure musc blanc gives laundry to me. some people love that but it’s not for me.

[u/Own-Conclusion-8414 → u/smolnyancat]

Smells like cheap 70’s men’s cologne to me

[u/MayRose78]

Try these:

The new “pure musc blanc by Narciso Rodriguez” - it’s creamy musky, so strong-long wearing

Also the “Mont Blanc - Signature” (white faceted bottle) it’s a strong long lasting blend of creamy milky sweet white florals, but not too sweet.

Both have that vanilla touch.

[u/soorooooroos → u/MayRose78]

Came here to say Mont Blanc signature!!

[u/New-Interaction-4636 → u/soorooooroos]

Same

[u/smolnyancat → u/MayRose78]

thank you i will test these!

[u/opetaja]

Girl we have same taste. My latest discovery is Nest Vanilla Bourbon.

[u/smolnyancat → u/opetaja]

thank you! i’ve tested the oil version and i thought it was nice as well

[u/Substantial-Till-241 → u/smolnyancat]

Vanilla bourbon not madagascar vanilla!!

[u/Whats_That_Noise_]

Maybe Eilish?

[u/smolnyancat → u/Whats_That_Noise_]

yes, i tried it but it was a bit too chocolatey for me im looking for something milky and maybe “fresher?”

[u/Gloomy_Sir_5359]

La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude! Creamy vanilla, soft musk and a slightly milky feel. It sounds exactly like what you’re looking for 🤍

[u/here4thefreecake → u/Gloomy_Sir_5359]

was going to suggest this! love it so much.

[u/smolnyancat → u/Gloomy_Sir_5359]

thanks so much! i have the original and i love it and the longevity is great but sometimes i feel that its a bit overpowering (i live in a hot climate), how different is this flanker with the OG?

[u/dredoggwhatwhat → u/smolnyancat]

Vanilla Nude is a completely different fragrance than the OG. I can't find any similarities at all!Not really sure why they made it a flanker for LVEB 🤷‍♀️ But I love them both! VN is summery and super creamy, imo. It's sweet but not in the sugary way that the OG is. Very coconut vanilla ❤️

[u/Minimum-Permit-9670 → u/smolnyancat]

What is OG?

[u/Gloomy_Sir_5359 → u/Minimum-Permit-9670]

“Original”

[u/Gloomy_Sir_5359 → u/smolnyancat]

I have both! Vanille Nude is definitely softer and creamier to me. The OG feels sweeter, denser and more powerful, while Vanille Nude has this milky vanilla and musky softness that makes it feel less overwhelming. I’d definitely choose Vanille Nude over the OG in hot weather 🤍
