Cozy vanilla/creamy/musky/woody/gourmand everyday perfume

Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for a signature perfume, or at least a perfume I really like. I would like it to be a soft, cozy vanilla/creamy/musky/light woody/light floral/light amber/slight gourmand perfume. Quite wide, I know, but it can be a combination of some of those accords, or only one of them, I just need it to be good. I want to be able to wear it from Fall through Spring, as the type of perfume I have in mind is fine almost all year round for the moderate/cooler climate I'm in (the Netherlands). To give an idea, I'm thinking of something similar to:

Poem a Day Eau de Toilette - I love this one, it's soft, cozy, and slightly sweet. It's actually quite perfect, but it's not available anymore

Vanilla Skin Hair & Body Mist - Like this one, just a bit too sugary sometimes to me

Father Figure

Sonic Flower

Gold - Or Gold -, the personal version

Lait de Biscuit - Gourmand, but it's very soft and cozy

Fire at Will

Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum - Amazing, but I'm thinking of something less spicy

Kenzo Amour

I want to try this one, it could work:

22 Orris

Some other possible requirements:

- Preferably not more than 150 euros/175 dollars (for 30 ml/1 oz)

- Preferably decent lasting power, but it's okay if it's not great

- No problem if it has 'worse' sillage, I actually prefer less loud perfumes

- Preferably niche, I've tried a lot of the perfumes from mainstream fashion houses already

Sorry for the wall of text, thanks so much for reading and any recommendations! 😃

Hi, this is hard because you mention so many scent profiles! I'm from the Netherlands too and maybe you could take a look at Pefume Lounge, they have a boutique in Amsterdam and they also sell online (where you can check the 'perfume-finder' to find perfumes that match your mood, occasion, favourite notes etc..). They also do have a sample service (you can order samples online).

Hope this helps!

Oh and Skins also have boutiques and a sample service online, but I guess you already know about them

Hang on, I saw Poem a Day Eau de Toilette in store very recently (Heiligeweg, mocht je in Ams wonen)

Not quite niche, but do look at the Les Senteurs Gourmands line (erica.nl/collections/natuurlijke-eau-de-parfum ) lots of cozy vanillas, very affordable, I'm honestly impressed.

Maybe you can visit Skins indeed. They carry the Essential Perfumes like Divine Vanille . Those are available in €22 / 10ml sizes. I really love that one but I’m not sure it’s vanilla enough.

Oh erg bedankt! I think it used to be a limited edition, but (for) now it's not anymore, so I tried to forget about it, haha.. Fortunately it's still available!

Thanks everyone for the help and recommendations. 😃
