Vanilla Vibes by Juliette Has A Gun delivers a breezy, salt-kissed vanilla that evokes the essence of a sun-drenched beach day. The initial impression is a clean, watery salinity that feels like ocean spray mixed with tropical warmth, seamlessly blending with a soft, creamy vanilla core. It's not overtly sweet or gourmand—instead, it leans into a dry, powdery, slightly mineral quality, making it feel more like skin-scent than a traditional fragrance. The vanilla note is present but restrained, with hints of orchid, sandalwood, and tonka bean adding depth that dries down into a musky, slightly resinous softness. Worn on the skin, it feels intimate, with moderate projection and longevity, fading gently after a few hours. The scent works best under warm, summery conditions and becomes most appealing as a code for beach air, sun-kissed skin, and soft, salty memories. While some find it synthetic or overly reminiscent of sunscreen or play-doh, others experience it as a fresh, elegant antidote to overly sweet or garish beach scents. It's unisex in name but leans feminine, with no sharp or masculine elements to define it.
