vanilla scent

Extract's sweet aroma

Vanilla scent is the sweet, warm fragrance associated with vanilla beans—creamy, slightly floral, and widely considered pleasant and comforting.

The term appears in product descriptions for candles, perfumes, and air fresheners: a vanilla scent with hints of caramel.

Vanilla scent suggests something familiar and unadventurous, paralleling how "vanilla" itself means plain or conventional.
