Vanilla, a popular scent in perfumery, adds a sweet, warm, and creamy dimension to fragrances, often serving as a base note. It's a versatile ingredient that can be blended with various other notes, such as florals, woods, and gourmand elements, to create a wide range of scent profiles. Vanilla is also known for its fixative properties, helping to prolong the longevity of a fragrance. Vanilla is part of Amber/Oriental Group according to Fragrantica. Extracted from the fruit of the vanilla tree, this spice originated in Mexico. Today, it is cultivated in warm, humid regions of the world, mainly in Madagascar, Papua New Guinea and Tahiti.

- Solstice Scents Manor EDP - Manor is a unisex woody, vanilla musk that is the scent of a once grand estate, now abandoned and left exposed to the elements. The faint scent of previous owners and their esteemed guests - exquisitely perfumed ladies mingling with the intense rich and musky scent of smartly dressed gentlemen - meets rich wood floors and heavy wooden doors long since opened and decaying beadboard and Wainscot topped off with a thin layer of dust. It is very sophisticated and absolutely intoxicating. Manor is sweet and rich due to the vanillas, woody and incensey from the oud blend and a touch of sandalwood. After hours on the skin it does smell much sweeter due to the vanillas, though the woody/incense element is still detectable. Manor features notes of vanilla, musk, sandalwood, aloeswood and oud. Created as part of a collection of fragrances based on the fictional town of Foxcroft, Maine.
- Solstice Scents Mountain Vanilla EDP - Inspired by the scent of budding spring in the meadows of the Appalachian mountains, Mountain Vanilla is a coumarin-heavy scent with vanilla and light green elements. The spring air smells strongly of coumarin, specifically the scent of wild sweet clover (the white flowers pictured), along with a cool morning dew and light green notes. It also carries a scent reminiscent of carrot flowers. Mountain Vanilla focuses heavily on coumarin rich notes such as sweet clover absolute, deerstongue and Bulgarian Lavender absolute (used lightly. This is not a lavender perfume) paired with vanillic Chinese Silk vine, vanilla, vanilla musk, poplar bud absolute, tonka and elderflower (elderflower smells like a heavenly nectar of fruit and Manuka honey. It's not particularly floral, more of a nectar scent). Top notes include a green accord of shiso leaf, fern, green clover and bluegrass along with a trace of cool morning dew clinging to the green shoots. The dry down features primarily vanilla and coumarin. It's a very sweet, creamy perfume with subtle green nuances. It is a very pleasing authentic scent that is amazing worn alone or layered with oud, leather, apple, spicy, amber or chocolate scents. It has a wide range of layering capabilities. With notes of unlit vanilla pipe tobacco and light fragrant pipe smoke.
