Ah vanilla! I love everything vanilla. If it has vanilla in it, I love it! That being said, not all vanilla perfumes are created equal. I love a smooth, calming vanilla scent which captures the essence of pure vanilla. I also love when it is mixed in with other notes such woods, fruit and/or florals.

Two of the six vanilla fragrances featured above are part of my fragrance wardrobe. The other four, are currently on my wish list. They are all unique and offer vanilla in a different way. That is why I find they are all needed in my fragrance wardrobe!

If you are looking for a beachy vanilla scent, LaVanila Vanilla Coconut is a fabulous summer vanilla fragrance. Its easy to wear daily and offers “vacation on an island” vibes. Of course, Van Cleef & Arpels version is a rich, smooth vanilla which can be worn in any season and offers a smooth vanilla scent. My full review is here.

Do you love vanilla based scents as much as I do? If so, here are a few fabulous vanilla fragrances you can wear now and throughout the year. Love!

Which vanilla fragrance is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

The Dior fall 2025 nail polish collection is here! For the autumn season, Dior is giving us a high shine black polish, a dark and a high shine pink, as well as a timeless neutral which seems more pink than the beige name would suggest. Love this!

If you ae looking for a fabulous nail polish color for the office this fall season, Dior Wild Beige nail polish is your go-to for a daily color which works well in a professional environment as well as on the weekend. It is also the most understated of the three nail polish hues for fall 2025.

In a vampy mood? Dior Bold Black nail polish as vampy as you’re going to get for the fall season. It’s a high shine black nail polish you can wear daily for an avant-garde, dark nail. Lastly, looking for the stand-out color of fall? Then it seems Dior Shocking Pink nail polish is the shade you have been seeking. It’s a bright, dark pink which demands attention. Love!

These are definitely fun nail polish hues for the fall 2025 season! So, without further ado, here are the three nail polish colors from the Dior fall 2025 beauty collection:

Dior nail polish fall 2025 | Dior Shocking Pink

dior shocking pink nail polish fall 2025

Dior nail polish fall 2025 | Dior Bold Black

Dior nail polish fall 2025 | Dior Wild Beige

Which one is your favorite? I am currently wearing Dior Wild Beige nail polish as I type this. It is a great color to wear now, in late summer, as we move towards the fall season. When weather cools down, I will start rocking the darker hues.
