Collection: Vanilla & Sweet

Vanilla Perfume — Handmade in Australia

Stuga's vanilla and sweet perfumes are hand-blended in small batches in the Southern Highlands, built around warm, comforting notes — vanilla, tonka bean, cinnamon, honey and ripe fruit. If you're hunting for the best vanilla perfume that's cosy and moreish without being sickly — and long lasting enough to still be there at the end of the day — this is your shelf. Every scent comes three ways: Eau de Parfum spray, alcohol-free spray, or roll-on perfume oil, at 20–25% concentration.

The vanilla & sweet range

• Enigma — Passionfruit, Vanilla & Tonka Bean. Our best seller across the whole range — sweet, fruity and warm.
• Intrigue — Apple, Melon & Tonka Bean. Fresh fruit meets soft sweetness.
• Ember — Cinnamon, Vanilla & Sandalwood. A spicy vanilla and sandalwood perfume with a woody heart.
• Nomad — Cloves, Vanilla & Cinnamon. Warm baking spice over soft vanilla and amber.
• Desire — Rose, Jasmine, Vanilla & Sweet Pea. A jasmine and vanilla perfume — floral on top, sweet underneath.

Which vanilla perfume should I choose?

Want it sweetest and fruitiest? Enigma. Prefer your vanilla with warmth and spice — closer to a vanilla and sandalwood scent than a dessert? Ember or Nomad. After something lighter and fresher that only finishes sweet? Intrigue. And if you want vanilla wrapped in flowers, Desire. If you like this shelf but want more wood under the sweetness, cross over to our Woods family; for vanilla with amber and resin, try Amber & Spice.

Buying vanilla perfume as a gift

Vanilla is the safest gift in perfumery — almost nobody dislikes it. If you're buying blind for someone who likes sweet things, candles, or dessert, Enigma is the one we hand across the stall. For a vanilla perfume for women it's the most-gifted bottle we make; for someone who'd want it less sweet and more grown-up, go Ember. A roll-on vanilla perfume oil from $35 makes an easy, no-risk first gift.

What is a gourmand fragrance?

Gourmand perfumes borrow from the dessert trolley — vanilla, tonka bean, caramel, honey and warm spice — for scents that smell good enough to eat. Vanilla anchors the family: comforting, slightly powdery, and universally loved. Every Stuga vanilla perfume is unisex and wearable year-round, though they shine in cooler weather. New to notes?
