TikTok beauty fans have a knack for discovering affordable beauty products that rival high-end counterparts, and MIX:BAR’s Vanilla Bourbon perfume is a perfect example. Priced at $20, this fragrance is quickly starting to trend, with users raving about its sultry allure that’s said to rival the pricey Kayali Vanilla 28.

This scent combines bright notes like bergamot, jasmine, and apple blossom, with the richness of Madagascar vanilla bean and sandalwood, and fans cannot get enough of it.  One shopper declared, “I love this scent. It gives me luxe vibes on a budget. It pairs well if you mix fragrances and it lasts all day,” highlighting its versatility and endurance. 

Another instant fan shared, “This is SO GOOD. As with most vanillas, let it sit (macerate) and it gets stronger. It is VERY strong and long-lasting after a few months, once the juice gets darker. It’s as good as Kayali Vanilla 28 and they smell very similar.”

And it’s not just budget-conscious perfume fans who are obsessed with the fall fragrance. “This is my absolute favorite perfume even out of expensive brands. I bought the perfume after trying the body spray of it and I’m obsessed,” shared an enthusiastic reviewer. The scent’s longevity is another selling point: “INCREDIBLE. Not only does it have a strong, spicy vanilla scent, but it lasts forever. I put maybe three sprays on my wrists in the morning then went tubing on a lake, fully submerged in water, but when I got home a few hours later, I could still faintly smell it on my wrist.”

For those who enjoy layering, one reviewer recommends pairing it with a vanilla lotion to enhance its lasting power: “This is my favorite perfume ever. I always receive compliments on my smell whenever I wear this. It’s such a warm and delicious smell. I like to layer this with my vanilla lotion and it lasts all day!”

With rave reviews and fans claiming it’s as good as pricier vanilla perfumes, it’s no wonder MIX:BAR Vanilla Bourbon is the go-to for a splash of luxury without the splurge!
