Lush Vanillary is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Simon Constantine. Vanillary settles into a heart of Jasmine, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Lush's Vanillary carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is as divisive as it gets. On one hand, a creamy, buttery vanilla with a sensual jasmine edge. On the other, a rancid, urine-soaked nightmare. You either love its unique, raw character, or you're reaching for the nearest scrub brush. Try before you buy, unless you fancy a gamble.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Vanillary is a curious blend where lush vanilla absolute takes centre stage, backed by the warm, almost boozy nuances of tonka bean. A prominent, indolic jasmine note weaves through, adding a floral, sometimes animalic, depth that keeps it from being a straightforward gourmand. It's a rich, thick vanilla, often described as buttery, slightly powdery, offering a complex take on sweetness rather than sugary froth.
