Product Overview

Va Va Vanilla by Sarah Baker is a bold, decadent gourmand fragrance that leans unapologetically adult. Sensational, hedonistic, and speakeasy-inspired, it blends cocktails, spice, leather, and a voluptuous vanilla into a scent that feels sultry, intoxicating, and deeply seductive.

This is vanilla stripped of innocence and dressed for the night. Dark, boozy, and textured, Va Va Vanilla plays with contrast and indulgence, creating a fragrance that feels confident, provocative, and unmistakably grown-up.

What Does Va Va Vanilla Smell Like?

Va Va Vanilla opens with the rich bite of an espresso martini, lifted by cinnamon and black cherry. The opening is dark and glossy, balancing bitterness and sweetness with a boozy sparkle that immediately sets a late-night tone.

At the heart, coffee deepens alongside saffron, crushed nuts, rum, and a Manhattan cocktail accord. Warm, throaty, and slightly smoky, the heart feels plush and enveloping, with layers that unfold slowly and seductively on the skin.

As it settles, forbidden vanilla takes centre stage. Creamy yet shadowed, it’s wrapped in guaiac wood, soft leather, sandalwood, and silky woods, with a subtle hot-skin warmth that lingers. The dry down is smooth, intimate, and irresistibly moreish.

When to Wear Va Va Vanilla

This fragrance will appeal to lovers of dark gourmands, coffee and cocktail scents, and vanillas with depth, leather, and edge rather than sweetness alone.
