Cocktail-bar vanilla over leather and woods

Sarah Baker Va Va Vanilla is the brand's adults-only vanilla, an Extrait de Parfum from 2026 composed with perfumer Margaux Le Paih-Guérin. The brand's line is that danger buys you a drink, and the notes follow: espresso martini, cinnamon and black cherry on top, saffron, coffee, nuts and rum in the heart, and a milky forbidden vanilla over leather and woods.

On the skin

How it unfolds

  1. The first round

    Espresso martini, cinnamon and black cherry open the perfume. The martini note is a bittersweet impression of coffee and liqueur, cinnamon adds dry warmth, black cherry a dark and juicy accent. Watch how boozy this start feels to you before the sweetness settles.

  2. Rum, nuts, coffee

    Saffron, coffee, crushed nuts, rum and a Manhattan cocktail note keep the bar going in the heart. Roasted and warm, this is where the drink theme is strongest. The vanilla has not arrived yet, so it is a good moment to ask whether the cocktail idea charms you.

  3. Forbidden vanilla

    The vanilla comes last, which the brand calls forbidden and milky. It rests on guaiac wood, leather, sandalwood and a note named hot skin, with silky woods smoothing the finish. Sweetness stays warm and a little smoky here, and the sample shows how much.

Testing it

How to test it, for whom and why

How to test it

Save the decant for an evening out, in autumn or winter, and apply a little to the chest. Compare the bar phase with the phase after it, when the vanilla and leather replace the coffee and rum. A second test on a quieter evening tells you if it still feels good.

Who it is for

People who like vanilla with an edge: coffee, rum and leather in place of a sugary dessert. The brand does not state a gender. It is for evenings and special occasions. If you want a plain, soft vanilla, this will be more adult than you expect.

Why try Sarah Baker Va Va Vanilla as a sample first

A boozy gourmand with leather can be seductive or too much, depending on skin and mood. The brand introduced it as its new fragrance in 2026 and gave it a setting, a speakeasy. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, so you can try the scene before 50 ml.

Questions

Frequently asked

Who produced the decant?

Neither the brand nor its perfumer made it. The Extrait is poured from the original bottle into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems.

What kind of vanilla is it?

Far from a plain, sugary one. The brand's label is adults-only: milky vanilla lies over leather, guaiac wood and sandalwood, while coffee, rum and saffron fill the heart.

Which drink notes does it contain?

Two cocktails and a spirit: espresso martini with cinnamon on top, a Manhattan with rum in the heart, and coffee beside them. Toward the base the drinks give way to vanilla, leather and wood.

About Sarah Baker

Sarah Baker Perfumes is run from a studio in East London by two artists, Sarah Baker and Andy Hsu, and it works the way an art project would: every perfume is a collaboration with a different independent perfumer, credited on the bottle, and each is cast as a character in an ongoing fantasy world with its own mini screenplay. Characters this vivid, a vengeful peach, a mermaid's tidepool, a gilded oud, are better met in person. A 10 ml decant is the introduction.

      Duarte Review of the FragranceGems shop
    • Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !

      Rudy Review of the FragranceGems shop
    • Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
