Vanilla Berry – A Boozy Vanilla That Works Year-Round

Umma Perfumes

Vanilla perfumes are often boxed into two categories: winter warmers or sugary gourmands. Vanilla Berry is neither. It sits in a class of its own, blending a soft red berry opening with a boozy vanilla base that works in summer just as well as in winter.

From the first spray, you get a hint of raspberry and cherry, but they’re soft and jammy, not synthetic. Within minutes, a rich layer of creamy vanilla comes through—smooth and round, laced with a touch of rum and dry amber. It reminds you of something comforting and warm but still light enough for a breezy evening.

Think of it as a cousin to fragrances like Nishane Ani or Kilian’s Angels' Share, but gentler, more wearable, and with a clean finish that doesn’t cling too heavily to the skin. It’s romantic without being overly sweet, and cozy without being cloying.

What Makes Vanilla Berry Stand Out:

  • Boozy but fresh: The addition of airy musk and a whisper of citrus keeps the vanilla from becoming too dense.

  • Unisex appeal: This isn’t a "girly vanilla." It’s warm, sophisticated, and smooth enough for anyone to wear.

  • All-season fragrance: Works just as well on a winter scarf as it does on bare skin in summer evenings.

Best seasons to wear: All year, especially spring and fall Longevity: 8 to 10 hours Projection: Starts strong, then mellows into a warm, creamy trail

If you’ve been searching for a vanilla perfume that doesn’t smell like a cupcake, Vanilla Berry might be the answer. It blends sensual warmth with easy-going freshness, making it the kind of scent you keep coming back to, no matter the season.
