Growing up, the bottles of body spray, lotion, butter, and sanitizing cigarettes that line my bathroom vanity are much sweeter than a dessert-filled episode. Great British baking show. My rotation often includes the latest duplicate line debut from Bath & Body Works; Britney Spears’ Fantasy (or Curious); a pure sugar scent, unsurprisingly, called Pink Sugar; and anything else that my collection of glossy magazines like Seventeen, CosmoGirl, and Teen magazine is advertising. If it smelled like a cookie at a bakery frozen with sprinkles or a Cinnabon bar at a shopping mall, then I — without a doubt — wore it.

As a beauty editor and all, I always have an overflowing perfume inventory, so I decided to start a small experiment earlier this year.

Below, I am going to share the top 12 fragrances that I am currently obsessed with and have never failed to earn compliments from strangers as well as my loved ones. Keep scrolling! The best vanilla perfume lies ahead.
