Vanilla So Sweet by Fragrance World

Vanilla So Sweet by Fragrance World is an oriental vanilla eau de parfum for women and men, released in 2023. 100ml.

Despite the name, this is not a dessert scent. It opens smoky and sharp — incense with pink pepper and bergamot — which is an unusual way into a vanilla and sets the tone for what follows. The heart is a proper floral bouquet: Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine over cedar, giving it depth most vanillas skip entirely.

The base is vanilla, but boozy rather than sugary, with rum and benzoin adding warmth and a resinous, faintly powdery finish. Wearers describe it as sweet without being edible — mildly spicy, slightly floral, and strong enough that a light hand is sensible.

Commonly cited as Fragrance World's interpretation of Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille, the boozy incense-vanilla benchmark.

Best in the evening and cooler weather. Projection is strong and longevity is long.
