Perfume is one of the most personal things we can wear, with everyone favouring a different scent to reflect their personality. However, there’s one fragrance that’s proven to be one of the most popular scents time and time again – vanilla.

Vanilla based perfumes are a classic, with their typically sweet, subtle scent making them perfect for both daytime and evening wear, and shoppers think they may have found the “best” one ever. Ellis Brooklyn’s Vanilla Milk Eau De Parfum has gotten some rave reviews from shoppers thanks to its sweet and sophisticated smell, which combines vanilla and floral notes for a perfume that’s absolutely perfect for summer.

The perfume contains two different types of vanilla to make it a more powerful scent, with bourbon vanilla bean and Madagascar vanilla bean extract both working together to make sure vanilla is the most distinguishable note in the perfume. It’s top notes include creamy milk accord, peony rose and frangipani, whilst both vanilla heart notes are paired with upcycled cocoa shell extract for its sweet, rich scent.

It also has base notes of sandalwood, amyris, musk and benzoin, and the resulting scent is sweet and musky without being overpowering or sickly. Unlike other fragrances, which tend to last longer when spritzed on your clothes, Ellis Brooklyn’s perfumes wear much better on bare skin.

This is because they naturally interact with your body’s heat and chemistry, which improves the scent over time and makes it last even longer, something shoppers have been raving about in their reviews with some agreeing it lasts for up to six hours.

One shopper wrote: “Absolutely love this, I love anything to do with vanilla, so I bought the much smaller size to try it . I wanted to see if it lasted on your skin, and it does, so I shall be buying the full-size one. It’s just a beautiful sweet fragrance without being sickly. I normally spend a lot more so I think it’s quite a reasonable price.”

Another said: “When I first tried it in store, alcohol smell was too strong and wasn't a big fan. However it quickly dried down to a sweet milky vanilla scent that I could not stop sniffing. I ended up buying the small size and might buy the full size too after it finishes. Best vanilla/sweet scent I have tried for a while ( a lot better than Kayali sweet ones).”

Whilst a third added: “This is the most gorgeous perfume, not sickly but a warm and feminine scent with none of the nasty chemical ingredients you usually find in perfume. The bottle is beautiful and I just cannot say how much I love this. Yes it is on the expensive side but for the quality of ingredients I am happy to pay.”

If you want to try a smaller size perfume before committing to a full size bottle you can pick up the Ellis Brooklyn scent in a 10ml bottle, or try the brand’s full which is currently on sale with 25% off, slashing it from £44 to .

Although some shoppers said the Ellis Brooklyn perfume was ‘better than Kayali’s’, if you’re a die hard Kayali fan through and through you’ll be pleased to know its currently on sale at Boots. You can pick up the 100ml bottle of the Kayali Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum for , rather than its usual price of £73.

Another new perfume launch for the summer is Steve Madden’s Goldie Eau de Parfum, , which has a stunning floral and woody scent with musky notes, giving a subtle, sophisticated scent that’s ideal for summer evenings.
