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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

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.
