Why? \u201cIf your skin is more acidic, vanilla can become sharper or spicier.\u201d While we typically associate gourmand notes with colder weather, vanilla certainly can shine in warmer months, too. \u201cBody temperature can also play a role, as warmer skin can intensify certain base notes, vanilla and amber being two examples,\u201d Jelk explains. No wonder vanilla is a year-round scent for many editors.<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>How do you layer vanilla perfume with other scents?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>As Jelk puts it, \u201cthere are no rules with fragrance,\u201d but she says she personally likes to mix vanilla with iris and\/or musks. She also prefers the term \u201cfragrance wardrobing\u201d over layering because it \u201callows you to personalize your trail rather than adding a perfume directly on top of another.\u201d Her tip? One scent for your wrists, another for your neck, and perhaps a third for your clothes. \u201cCreate your own olfactive look, just like you would a fashion outfit,\u201d Jelk says.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Meet the experts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Delphine Jelk, Guerlain master perfumer and creative director of fragrance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><h2><strong>How we test and review products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>When <em>Allure<\/em> tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that&#8217;s included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.<\/p>\n<p>For our review of the best vanilla perfumes, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, and contributors to review the products. This ensures our testing base spans different skin tones, genders, and dermatological conditions. We considered each product&#8217;s performance across four primary categories: ingredients, wear and longevity, packaging, and inclusivity. For more on what&#8217;s involved in our reporting, check out our complete reviews process and methodology page.<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>Our staff and testers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, <em>Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors\u2014in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon\u2014is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n<p>After all, can we <em>really<\/em> say a skin-care product is the &#8220;best&#8221; for people over 50 if the only testers we&#8217;ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it&#8217;s never been tested on curls? We&#8217;re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Now, watch your favorite celebs take you through their 10-minute beauty routines:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frequently Asked Questions Why does vanilla perfume smell different on everyone?
