Atelier des Ors Lune Féline, Parfums de Marly Althaïr and Jovoy Paris Fire at Will by Olya Bar©  

When it comes to vanilla scents, it’s impossible to limit the conversation to just a few—every decade and every fragrance genre has gifted us multiple gems that deserve a closer look. That’s why we’ve decided to explore the best (in our opinion) vanilla fragrances in a three-part co-curated series. In part two, we’ll delve into more recent niche releases: Atelier des Ors Lune Féline, Jovoy Paris Fire at Will, and Parfums de Marly Althaïr with each highlighting a different facet of this regal ingredient.

For us, vanilla is timeless. Its appeal lies in its ability to evoke a primal sense of warmth and indulgence, conjuring memories of sugar-laden delights and delivering a dopamine rush with every spritz . Especially with the Northern Hemisphere entering the autumn season, vanilla brings eternal comfort and will forever be a reminder of life’s sweetest pleasures.

Atelier des Ors Lune Feline review

Atelier des Ors Lune Féline (Marie Salamagne) 2015: Marie Salamagne with the creative direction of Jean Phillipe Clermont composed a vanilla is a complex, smoky indulgence that feels like a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream. I once had a dessert where vanilla ice cream was smoked with balsams and woods under a glass dome, releasing each ingredient’s full richness. It was decadent, balmy, and salty all at once, just like Atelier des Ors Lune Féline. In this fragrance, you can almost taste the animalic ambergris, fragrant cinnamon spice, and the warm musk that lingers on your skin. If you’re a fan of smoky vanilla, this is the one. And those swoon-worthy gold flakes swirling in every bottle? It’s pure visual magic.

Notes: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Pink Pepper; Woodsy Notes, Ambergris, Styrax, Cedar, Green Notes; Tahitian Vanilla, Peru Balsam, Musk.

Jovoy Paris Fire At Will

Jovoy Paris Fire at Will  (Vanina Muracciole) 2021: One cannot talk about vanilla fragrances without mentioning Jovoy Paris Fire at Will. This is a warm, fluffy, and voluptuous scent, with powdery mimosa flowers adding their floral softness to vanilla dusted with brown sugar, resting on a base of golden amber and musk. It’s a sensual, sweet, and enveloping gourmand that will literally sweep you off your feet. Of the three, this is the sweetest and will satisfy even the most intense sweet tooth. I adore it and never hesitate to lavishly douse myself in it, feeling like I’m floating in a cloud of sugary dreams—sophisticated, luxurious, and perfectly suited for a grown-up.

Notes: Vanilla, Mimosa; Vanilla Brown sugar; Amber, Musk, Vetiver

Parfums de Marly Althair review

Parfums de Marly Althaïr (Hamid Merati-Kashani and Ilias Ermenidis) 2023: Parfums de Marly Althaïr is one of the most intriguing blends in the Parfums de Marly collection. It opens with a boozy burst of caramelized orange blossom and the delicious spiciness of cinnamon, instantly evoking the feeling of holidays in France, where the sweet aroma of vanilla and orange blossom greets you as you enter cozy cafés and bakeries. At the heart is a rich chocolate praline with a gooey sweetness—meant in the best way possible. The dry down is all about roasted tonka and candied almonds, like the perfect little snack during a winter stroll through the park. It smells familiar and sophisticated, making you return to it repeatedly, much like a favorite childhood dessert that always triggers sweet memories of the holidays and the comforting warmth of vanilla swirling in the air.

Notes: Cinnamon, Cardamom, Orange Blossom, Bergamot; Bourbon Vanilla, elemi; Praline, Musk, Ambroxan, Guaiac Wood, Candied Almond, Tonka.

    In a world of vanillas, the ones that stand out and are unique and interesting in their particular take on the note, are always on my radar. A complex, smoky, wood gourmand with balsams and ambergris. This sounds like an amazing scent for Fall.

  • R2D2 says:

    I love how each of these vanilla fragrances brings something totally different to the table. Lune Féline is so rich and smoky, like a gourmet dessert, definitely for those who want something deeper and more complex. Fire at Will is pure sweet indulgence—soft, sugary, and just makes you feel cozy. And Althaïr with that boozy orange blossom and praline vibe? Instant holiday feels. All three are fantastic in their own way!

    I loved to read through this selection, highlighting the different directions vanilla can be pushed to–floral, spicy, smoky, gooey, etc.
    For me, Lune Feline is the best vanilla out there and one of the best perfumes altogether.
    Thanks for the chance to enter, greetings from London, UK.

  • EmJay87 says:

    What I liked most about this selection of fragrances is, while they are all vanillas, and all suitable for the upcoming season, they are in no way similar to each other. In fact, all three could have a place in one’s collection and there wouldn’t be any overlap or redundancy, which is the mark of three very unique fragrances.

    As a lover of vanilla over chocolate in life (yes, we exist!)… but not much of a gourmand addict, I am always intrigued by what vanilla perfume(s) will captivate me that run left of center. These roundups have been such a joy to read! Especially Lune Feline. A dry and/or smoked wood, alongside incense are forever note profiles that perk my ears. So to see the imagery evoked over a smoke-infused vanilla ice cream sounds utterly divine! Call me curious.

    The Lune Feline is gorgeous. Smoked vanilla ice cream is right up my alley. I have also long desired an Atelier des Ors bottle. Vanilla is one of my favorite notes, from simple to complex. It is so comforting. Fire At Will and Althair sound amazing as well! I am in the USA.

  • Ramses Perez says:

    A true great selection of vanillas, my favorite note. I have smelled all of these but Jovoy’s Fire At Will (a shame), but I have only heard amazing things about them. Parfums De Marly Althair is a beautiful dry and dusty vanilla perfect for the holidays. Atelier Des Ora Lune Feline is a hefty and dense vanilla fragrance for the true lovers of the note. Jovoy Fire At Will looks like a soft and cozy vanilla and the most gourmand of the three. Olya knows her vanillas for sure and knows how to pick them. Would love to win Lune Feline. I’m located in the USA.

  • phoenixad says:

    Althair boozy vanilla orange and praline sounds delicious i will definitely try it. As for lune feline its reputation as one of the most known niche vanilla fragrances says everything. As for fire at will the mentioned blend with flowers doesn’t seem that appealing but then again jovoy makes wonders. I would love to win lune feline. I live in Greece,EU

    as a person who, until recently, disliked vanilla, i’m really enjoying getting to know vanilla profiles better, and this article was quite a journey for re/discovering vanilla!

    Such an enjoyable read how Vanilla can give us so many differnt types of Fragrancess. “entering the autumn season, vanilla brings eternal comfort and will forever be a reminder of life’s sweetest pleasures.” I love that quote. I often think of Vanilla for cooler weather. All 3 Fragrances are different that’s the beauty of it. Thank you for this chance USA

  • Devry DelHoyo says:

    I very much enjoy Jovoy Fire at Will. It has just the right touch of sweetness for me and I love the powderyness that the Mimosa adds. Altair is one of my husbands favorite. I love a smoky vanilla as well!

  • Tveta says:

    I adore Lune Feline! It is my favorite from the entire line of Atelier des Ors. That combination of cinnamon, tonka and cardamom together with vanilla is simply lovely! It would be a dream come true to add Lune Feline to my collection! Thanks! Europe

  • Nathjo says:

    To be honest, I don’t like vanilla but I dream of one day finding the perfume that will change my mind. Vanilla has this overly sweet gourmand side in most perfumes and it ends up disgusting me. I have already tried Atelier des Ors perfumes including Rouge Saray, Musc immortel and Iris fauve that I loved so maybe Lune Féline will be the perfume that will reconcile me with vanilla… I love this part of the text: “you can almost taste the animalic ambergris, fragrant cinnamon spice, and the warm musk that lingers on your skin.” I live in France, EU.

  • Jeremi says:

    I really enjoyed the rich gourmand vanilla so deep and just captivating! I live in Trzebnica, Poland, EU.
