Sunlit Vanilla
Eau de Parfum
Our First Fine Fragrance
There are certain scents that immediately transport you to a place, a feeling, a memory. The sunlit streets of Paris. The warmth of sun-kissed, summer skin. The sweetness of your favorite dessert.
After years of iterations, we are so excited to share Sunlit Vanilla Eau de Parfum, our very first fine fragrance.
Available in 50 ml and 10 ml sizes, Sunlit Vanilla is our warm, radiant take on vanilla. A modern, elevated gourmand scent, made to feel effortless and wearable every day. It captures the indulgence of your favorite dessert in the summer sun—cool vanilla ice cream and the delicate veil of lightly caramelized crème brûlée. Warm caramel melts into sweet vanilla, comforting tonka bean and a soft touch of amber. Cozy yet radiant, it lingers on your skin like sunshine.
This is warmth you can wear. That endless summer feeling, all year long.
A Note From Our Founders
"We have always had a love of scent and flavor, especially vanilla. There's something about it that takes you somewhere warm and nostalgic just like a Summer Friday.
From our most popular Lip Butter Balm flavors, we learned that our community loves a gourmand scent. And from our limited-edition perfume trio, we learned you weren't interested in a new format. You wanted the classic fragrance experience.
We took those learnings, added our own love of elevated gourmand fragrances and let it all become the inspiration for our very first eau de parfum.
You've been with us from the beginning, from that very first vanilla Lip Butter Balm to everything that followed. This felt like the most natural next chapter and we hope you love our fragrance as much as we do.”

What Sunlit Vanilla Smells Like
Sunlit Vanilla opens with bergamot, a soft citrus that gives the fragrance its first bright impression. Within minutes, it melts into a heart of caramel and coconut—think caramel drizzle, coconut macaroon and a delicate crème brûlée crust cracking under your spoon.
As it settles, the base reveals vanilla, creamy musk, tonka bean and amber. The dry down is cozy yet radiant. Like vanilla ice cream slowly melting on warm skin. Like sandalwood and marzipan lingering long after sunset.

Sunlit Vanilla is an Eau de Parfum, meaning it’s richer and longer lasting than a traditional Eau de Toilette. It develops gradually and wears beautifully throughout the day.
Fragrance is personal and it will evolve with your natural skin chemistry. On everyone, it becomes something uniquely yours.
Why We Created a Vanilla Perfume
Vanilla can sometimes feel predictable. We wanted ours to feel sunlit, layered and sophisticated—never one-note or overly sweet.
As we shared in our conversation with Harper's Bazaar, we didn’t want a “bakery vanilla”. We wanted something that felt like “warm skin at golden hour.” That balance of indulgent and elevated was essential.
In Byrdie, we talked about how this fragrance was inspired by our love of travel and those small, sensory moments—like walking through the streets of the French Riviera with vanilla gelato in-hand. It’s sweet, but light.
And in Business of Fashion, we shared how our unexpected entry into fragrance started with Lip Butter Balm. Our community’s connection to scent showed us that fragrance wasn’t just a category expansion. It was a natural evolution.
Designed With Intention: The Bottle
As we perfected the scent, we were equally intentional about the bottle.
The custom bottle features fluted glass that nods to the brand’s iconic stripes, as well as a cinched shape, creating an effortlessly elevated silhouette that fits the natural curve of your hand. Its edges become softened and blurred when daylight hits the ridges, creating a beautiful sunlit effect. The weighted silver cap was inspired by vintage jewelry boxes—timeless, elegant and meant to be displayed on your vanity.
We also introduced our Sunburst iconography to evoke the essence of summer with every spritz.
Available in both a 50 ml full size and a 10 ml travel size, Sunlit Vanilla was designed to go wherever you do.
How to Wear Sunlit Vanilla
Spritz onto pulse points like the wrists, neck and décolletage. Avoid rubbing the fragrance into your skin as this can break down the scent and cause it to fade more quickly.
Because it’s a balanced gourmand scent, Sunlit Vanilla works all year long. It’s warm enough for fall evenings and radiant enough for summer days. It layers beautifully with your existing fragrance wardrobe or can stand entirely on its own as your signature scent.
If you’re sensitive to fragrance, you’ll find it’s strong enough to last yet never overwhelming or heavy.
