Mix:Bar Vanilla Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Patricia Choux. Vanilla Bourbon opens with Bergamot and Pepper, settles into a heart of Apple Blossom, Jasmine, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Mix:Bar's Vanilla Bourbon carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive cheapie, giving some big-time boozy vanilla and others a spicy, smoky mess. Prepare for an intriguing ride on different skin chemistries. When it works, it's an absolute steal; when it doesn't, well, you've been warned.

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.

Its potent projection and boozy, warm accords make it less suitable for professional settings, leaning into a more intimate, casual, or evening vibe. Performance is strong for the price, fitting well for events where it can make a statement without overwhelming.

About

Vanilla Bourbon kicks off with a sharp, peppery zing, softened by a hint of bright bergamot. The heart unfolds into a floral embrace of jasmine, orchid, and apple blossom, weaving a delicate sweetness. The main act, however, is the deeply warm and powdery vanilla in the base, wrapped in creamy sandalwood and rich amber, creating a plush, boozy finish.
