Gulf Orchid Vanilla on the Beach is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Vanilla on the Beach opens with Davana, Liquor, and Pear, settles into a heart of Spicy, Patchouli, and Dried Fruits, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Gulf Orchid's Vanilla on the Beach carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your usual sweet, summery vanilla. It's a divisive brew of boozy fruit, patchouli, and spice, with some finding it a rich, unique offering whilst others are left scratching their heads, asking 'where's the vanilla at?'

About

Vanilla on the Beach opens with a potent, boozy hit of davana and liquor, brightened by a juicy pear. This soon deepens into a warm, spicy heart with earthy patchouli and rich dried fruits providing a complex counterpoint. The base settles into a creamy, ambered vanilla and tonka, but it's far from a straightforward sweetness, maintaining a rustic, almost tobacco-like depth throughout.
