Pacifica Beauty Island Vanilla is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Brook Harvey-Taylor. Island Vanilla opens with Fruity, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Honey, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Pacifica Beauty's Island Vanilla carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is a simple, sweet vanilla that's loved for its delicious, comforting scent, but prepare for it to be a fleeting delight. It's affordable, versatile for layering, and a crowd-pleaser for vanilla fans, but its notorious weak performance means you'll need to overspray or reapply constantly.

Given its status as a light, intimate skin scent with poor longevity and sillage, Island Vanilla is perfect for casual wear, office environments, or even sports where strong fragrance isn't desired. It's too subdued for formal events but works as a gentle, close-contact choice for dates.

About

Island Vanilla opens with a sugary sweet vanilla, reminiscent of vanilla extract or creamy ice cream, softened by a delicate hint of honey and a touch of fruity nuance. As it settles, a gentle, powdery warmth emerges, with a whisper of jasmine adding an almost translucent floral dimension. It’s a straightforward, cosy vanilla, more airy than heavy, that dries down to a delectable skin scent.
