NEST New York Vanilla Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Vanilla Bourbon settles into a heart of Night-Blooming Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar, Musk, and Vanilla. NEST New York's Vanilla Bourbon carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a boozy, caramelised dream, a dark and seductive vanilla for the grown-ups. Others are getting nothing but synthetic Play-Doh, baby wipes, or even bathroom cleaner. Definitely 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.

Its sweet, gourmand nature, coupled with frequent mentions of a 'boozy' and 'seductive' vibe, makes it ideal for dates and evening wear. While some find it suitable for work, the sweetness and potential for divisiveness mean it's not a universal office pick.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Vanilla Bourbon opens with a rich, boozy kick of dark vanilla, deepened by the sweet, almost burnt edges of brown sugar. As it settles, a soft, seductive night-blooming jasmine emerges, lending a sophisticated floral touch, while a musky base adds a clean, powdery depth. It's a sweet, gourmand experience that tries to balance indulgence with refinement.
