Can The Scent of Vanilla Be Worn Confidently By Masculine Men?

A lot of young men are now into men’s grooming and body care and many of them are on a budget and too young for scents that are too rugged or too smoky as the chemistry just isn’t there. So you might wonder what kind of scents can you get new scent connoisseurs like them? Tonka Bean and Vanilla are two similar scents with Tonka bean always leaning more towards masculine scents but can the scent of Vanilla be worn confidently by masculine men? I say yes, because regardless of who you are trying to attract the scent of vanilla can be made to be masculine or feminine based on the other notes on top, in the middle or below it. So let’s look into it.

Vanilla is not just used to create soft, sweet and feminine scents as it can also be used as a base to add warmth and smoothness just like the Tonka Bean is. When Vanilla is used in this way it’s usually used as the base. Vanilla is very versatile and easily able to be worn as an everyday fragrance. The best vanilla colognes for men blend vanilla with notes such as tobacco, warm spices and amber, fresh citrus, and aromatic lavender. Vanilla is a scent best worn in the warmer Spring and Summer seasons with the more rich and decadent scents being super sultry and irresistible in the summer seasons. Then there are other Vanilla scents specifically made for much colder weather like one listed below Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir. This is a super heavy scent mixed with nothing but Vanilla and Amber.

Sandalwood & Vanilla Aroma Therapy Set by Bath and Body Works

Vanilla is not always subtle but Sandalwood & Vanilla Aroma Therapy Set by Bath and Body Works is the perfect unisex scent but I think it leans more toward being for men. I wanted it to be for women so I call it unisex because it can be but it’s a very subtle scent that is not too alluring for a man but if a woman smelled it she might ask you what it is. The sandalwood is what does the trick and makes it more earthy and so more natural and not sweet like we find most Vanilla scents for women. Sandalwood is a rich and sophisticated scent often described as quite distinctive and is categorized as a woodsy scent so it pairs perfectly with Vanilla in scents for both men and women. Sandalwood is slightly sweet and musky so the scent combination to me leans more towards a man that wants to exude his masculine side is not all strength and brute.
