Ask any Allure editor, and they’d be hard-pressed to count the number of new products they try in a year—let alone every month. But every so often, something really catches our eye.

If you’ve found your way here, it’s likely because you spend a good amount of time scrolling through the Sephora website. (Same.)

Consider this your reminder that vanilla belongs in every fragrance wardrobe. To say we’re having a vanilla moment is an understatement. Vanilla is everywhere, and so are the best vanilla perfumes: standing next to you on the subway, walking past you in a crowded restaurant, and on the best-seller shelves at your local Sephora and…

Allure’s Best of Beauty Awards are basically our Olympics—except it happens every year, whew—so of course it’s second nature to rave about them any chance we get.
