Say hello to your inner Oud.


You Got Vanilla: Sweetheart with a Bite

You’re the type who can soft launch a situationship and a skincare routine at the same time. You’re emotionally fluent. Also, because you are so effortlessly pretty, and totally okay with crying over a pinterest board, you are a cutie.

Try: Paris 5th Avenue

Vibe Check: This isn’t like any basic vanilla perfume . Paris 5th Avenue by Urban Collection Fragrances is dreamy and sensual with a splash of mystery. It opens with citrus then drips into rich vanilla, and ends on a creamy musky base.

Why It’s So You: You don’t just want to smell sweet, you want to smell expensive sweet. Paris 5th Avenue brings warm girl energy without being too sugary. It’s the scent equivalent of a satin dress and lip gloss.

Also in Your Vanilla Girl Starter Pack:

  • La Vida Bella: Feminine but grown. Think: vanilla’s older sister who has her life together but still watches reality TV.
  • Miss Bright London: This one is slightly spicier with a seductive twist. For when you want your crush to ask what you’re wearing (and maybe who you’re dating).

You Got Amber: Golden Hour Goddess

If golden hour were a person, it’d be you. You float into a room with main character energy and a playlist that includes both Fleetwood Mac and SZA. You're soft yet grounded, poetic yet unpredictable.

Try: Valentine Nero Dazzling Pink

Vibe Check: Valentine Nero Dazzling Pink is a rich and luxurious scent. It has saffron, jasmine, and deep amber. It’s the perfume version of wearing silk and speaking in metaphors.

Why It’s So You: You don’t wear perfume—you layer experiences. Valentine Nero Dazzling Pink unfolds with time. It is just like your journal entries. It’s perfect for gallery dates along with beach drives, or wandering bookstores with no real agenda.

Also in Your Amber Core Collection:

  • Guilt Intense Women: A more regal take on the amber story. This one is earthy combined with depth. It is ideal for those “I just manifested that” moments.
  • Mon Amour Paris: The scent is slightly more grounded with woody elements. These notes are cozy but confident, your quiet luxury in a bottle.

You Got Oud: The Dark Icon

You’re not for everyone and you love it that way. You’ve got mysterious main character vibes, sharp eyeliner, and probably a playlist titled “Heartbreak But Make It Couture.” You walk fast, text slow, and smell like you could ruin lives (in the best way)

Try: Victorious Black

Vibe Check: Victorious Black is intense, sexy, and dark AF. Notes of spicy oud, smoky woods, and warm musk make this scent an instant power move.

Why It’s So You: Oud lovers aren’t scared of making statements. This isn’t a background scent—it’s a presence. Victorious Black is the olfactory version of a velvet dress, dagger nails, and a “don’t talk to me unless you’re serious” energy.

More Oud Energy Options:

  • Millionaire: More subtle but equally sultry. For nights when you want to be remembered without saying too much.
  • Firenight for Men: A dual personality perfume—floral and fierce. Perfect for Gen Z girls who live in contradictions.

Honorable Mentions: Mixed Mood Baddies

Because sometimes you’re a little vanilla with an amber undertone. Or you’re oud with a soft twist. For the indecisive icons:

Maison de Paris Blanc Edition

Sweet, powdery, and mysterious. It’s giving “that girl” energy with an edge. A mix of florals, amber, and musk—like journaling under mood lighting while plotting your next soft domination move.

Pink So Sexy

This one’s for the vanilla girls with a vintage soul. Light, romantic, and dreamy, it’s like wearing lace on a cloudy day with nowhere to be but in your feelings.

Perfection

Bold but wearable. It’s the in-between scent for the nights when you want to flirt, slay, and maybe spiral a little (in a cute way).

How to Wear Your Signature Note Like a Pro

Layering 101:

  • Mix vanilla and amber for a caramel glow-up vibe
  • Combine oud and rose for a femme fatale moment
  • Use lighter sprays in the day, then add a second spritz in pulse points at night for drama

Scent Styling Tips:

  • Match vanilla perfumes with satin or cashmere fits
  • Pair amber scents with earth tones and gold jewelry
  • Rock oud fragrances with bold lips and structured silhouettes

You’re not just wearing perfume—you’re curating a sensory experience. Treat your fragrance like an accessory to your mood, your outfit, and your vibe.
