Smells like: Bergamot, almond, orris, pink pepper, vanilla, sandalwood, amber cream

One Cosmo editor says: “If you adore a smooth, woody vanilla scent (think Vanilla Skin from Phlur or Vanilla 28 from Kayali), then there’s a good chance you’ll be into Vanilla Whip. It’s more complex than I expected, thanks to the sandalwood and powdery orris that balance out its sweet vanilla notes. I think this would be blind buy-safe for any vanilla fan.”—LAUREN GRUBER, COMMERCE EDITOR

Smells like: Strawberry, peach, mandarin, geranium, cocoa blanc, amber, vanilla, sandalwood

One Cosmo editor says: “Color me surprised: I don't really like fruity perfumes, but I kind of vibe with this, in that my 16-year-old-self would probably have EATEN THIS UP. Sure it's fruity and kind of smells like a Claire's or Limited Too, but in a way that feels super nostalgic. I'd recommend for anyone who loves a sweet, fruity scent that has a slight Y2K vibe.”—MADISON MCGEE, COMMERCE EDITOR

Smells like: Orange flower, jasmine, bergamot, tuberose, vanilla, santal, peru balsam

One Cosmo editor says: “This is a nice, well-rounded floral scent that would be perfect for spring and summer. The notes of vanilla, santal, and bergamot help balance of the florals so it doesn't sway too mature.”—SARAH MABERRY, COMMERCE EDITOR

Smells like: Cinnamon, orange flower, bergamot, hazelnut, coffee, cacao, vanilla, sandalwood

One Cosmo editor says: “One whiff of Amber Cocoa, and I was immediately transported to my teenage bedroom, slathering my legs with cocoa butter lotion after a shower. This scent is rich, spicy, and sweet without going cloying. I can picture myself reaching for this one on summer nights, since it layers so nicely with my body care products.”—LG

Smells like: Apricot, ginger, peach, jasmine, osmanthus, vanilla, sandalwood, musk

One Cosmo editor says: “Sugared Apricot smells to me like rooftop cocktails on the first warm spring day. It's very sweet—no vibey old fashioneds or smoky mojitos here—but the peachy undertones and sugary top notes have me itching to hit up a nearby happy hour and spend way too much on a spritz.”—SAMANTHA JONES, SENIOR COMMERCE EDITOR
