Night is built around a cashmere-smooth vanilla, blending dark cacao, roasted almonds, dry cinnamon, and polished woods into a signature that's bold, sensual, and impossible to forget. Vanilla, but deeper.
Are You Vanilla? is a dual-scent system, two complementary fragrances designed to work in harmony, not competition. Night brings the deeper side: bold, spiced, and magnetic. Day explores the lighter side: clean, creamy, and effortlessly wearable. Together, they give you the freedom to match your mood or create something entirely your own by layering.
Start with the 10ml Duo Set, 10ml of both Night and Day in one beautifully considered package. It's the perfect introduction, giving you both sides of the obsession to explore before committing.

This is vanilla turned on its head - deep, decadent, and thrillingly addictive. A fragrance that smoulders like candlelight on dark silk, lingering on skin long after the night has given itself away.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most of our Eau de Parfums are formulated to last 6–10 hours on skin, though the honest answer is that it varies. Warm skin, oilier skin types, and pulse-point application all improve longevity - dry or cool skin tends to hold fragrance less readily.
Several of our formulas sit at 30% fragrance oil concentration - notably above the 15–20% typical of most commercial Eau De Parfums - which contributes to a deeper, longer-lasting character.
If longevity on your skin matters, we'd recommend starting with a 10ml before committing to a full bottle.
Yes — and we'd always suggest it.
We offer 10ml travel sizes across the full collection, or our Discovery Kit (5 × 2ml) is a popular way to explore the range before settling on a signature scent.
Fragrance is personal and can shift depending on your skin chemistry, so we'd rather you find the right one than rush into a bottle that doesn't feel like you.
Two things, primarily: concentration and ingredient quality.
Many high-street EDPs sit at 12–18% fragrance oil. Our formulas tend to sit higher, which means more depth, better longevity, and a closer-to-skin quality that reveals itself gradually rather than announcing everything at once.
We source raw materials from France, the Middle East, and Asia, and every fragrance is formulated and made in the UK.
They are original. Thomson Carter was built on the idea of creating genuinely distinctive, long-lasting scents - not recreating someone else's. Cashmere Court, for example, was developed in direct collaboration with artisanal perfumer Ilias Kakis, while Are You Vanilla? was developed with perfumer Stephanie Wilkinson.
If a scent reminds you of something you've worn before, that's the nature of shared fragrance families - but none of our fragrances are formulated to imitate an existing product.
If you're new to a particular scent, the 10ml is the natural entry point - same formula, same concentration, just a smaller bottle.
It typically delivers around 100–150 sprays: enough to confirm whether it's something you'll reach for regularly before moving to a 50ml or 100ml. If you already know you love a fragrance, the 100ml offers the best value per ml by some margin.
All our EDPs are composed in layers - top, heart, and base notes - which unfold in sequence.
The top notes you smell first are usually the brightest and most immediate, but they settle within 30–60 minutes. What follows is the heart and base of the fragrance: typically warmer, richer, and more personal, as it begins to interact with your skin chemistry.
This dry-down is often where a scent becomes truly your own. We'd suggest giving any new fragrance a couple of hours before forming a final opinion.
Pulse points - inner wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears, the crook of the elbow - are your most effective spots. These areas generate warmth, which lifts and projects the fragrance throughout the day.
One thing worth knowing: avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying. It feels intuitive but it degrades the top notes and shortens wear time. A light mist on the chest or the back of the neck, before dressing, works particularly well - fabric holds scent longer than skin alone.
Yes - it's the same formula and the same concentration across all sizes. The only difference is volume.
There's a common misconception that travel sizes are a diluted version; that's not the case here. The 10ml is a fully accurate representation of the full-size experience.
Most of the collection is genuinely unisex - Santal Oud, Cashmere Court, Bois De Santal, Postcards From, Redroom, and the Are You Vanilla? range all wear comfortably across genders.
We indicate where a scent has a more directional character - Smoke & Mirrors sits firmly in a masculine register; Lilium Blume and Rouge Avenue lean feminine - but these are signposts, not rules.
Wear what resonates. If you're unsure where to start, the Fragrance Finder on the site is a useful guide, or reach out directly and we'll point you somewhere that suits your taste.
Yes. Every Thomson Carter Eau de Parfum is formulated using 100% vegan, cruelty-free fragrance oils. No animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing - at any stage of development or production.
We offer a 30-day return window. Unopened, undamaged products qualify for a full refund. Given how personal fragrance is, we'd always recommend starting with a sample or the 10ml first - it removes most of the risk before you commit to a larger size. If something arrives damaged or not as described, get in touch and we'll make it right.
Lasting impressions can be made with a whisper of a single word, the slightest touch, or the aroma of a fragrance. With these lasting impressions they create memories that can be recalled at the slightest smell of Are You Vanilla. I wore this out to a party and the laughters, the smiles, and the compliments made for an unforgettable evening. Thomson Carter your fragrances aren’t just a fragrance. They are lasting impressions and unforgettable memories that will be cherished for years to come. Again, well done. Can’t wait to order more.
S&M wasn’t really my style, but this ‘Vanilla’ changed my entire cologne routine. It’s undeniably sweet and possibly even a bit overpowering if you go overboard,but that’s part of its charm. The scent is beautifully true to a warm vanilla.
Ive got a lineup of luxury colognes that barely get noticed, and this one gets compliments constantly (twice in one day). Not gonna lie, that really boosted my confidence.
Irecently got ‘Are You Vanilla?’ and I really love it. The packaging is so beautiful and the delivery was quick and easy. The scent is long-lasting but not heavy at all — soft, warm, and perfect for everyday. It’s one of those perfumes that instantly lifts your mood and makes your day feel better.
I would honestly love if they also had matching body lotions (and even bath products) for each fragrance — that would be amazing. I really hope they do it in the future.
The minute I put this one on, I knew heads were going to turn.
Many compliments and asking where and what I was wearing, will definitely be buying the 50cl
Found this to be smoother & lighter than it's daytime fragrance but the aroma it gives off is just as nice. It also can be worn during the daytime as I have a few time's already. Bit of vanilla & hint of musk
I was pleasantly surprised unboxing my new perfume. I wasn’t expecting the extra little touches that made it feel so special. The lovely pillow and the dust bag, along with how thoughtfully the perfume was boxed made buying a perfume online, having never smelled it worth the risk. The perfume is unexpected. It’s not your traditional vanilla. It’s more elegant. I bought it to wear in the fall/winter months but after smelling it I had to sneak it into my rotation a little earlier. And my man clearly noticed and complimented how great I smelled. I’m looking forward to wearing it full time!
I do like the perfume and have received compliments. I am opting to spray lightly and walk through it because I can be sensitive to smells and it seems to work well for me.
Received my order in good time, and vanilla nights is so nice, allso the sample of red room is really good ill be ordering it soon, every sent seems to get better and each one gets a different comment off people ill allso be ordering vanilla days ,thank you 🙂👍
I’ve been on a search for a mature vanilla scent for a while and I think I finally found it . It’s the only scent my husband has ever noticed on me !haha
It’s spicy, warm and sweet .
Some perfumes ignites certain feelings in me , and that’s how I know it’s good. When I first tried the vanilla pm sample bottle, it made me feel confident and energised. 5 stars !!
Absolutely love Are you vanilla (night) it smells amazing and the scent lasts all day long. It goes really well with the Are you vanilla body wash. I'll definitely be ordering more.
I recently ordered a 10ml sample of Are You Vanilla? Night and I'm thrilled. I get tons of compliments. I'm addicted to this scent. For years, I had my one perfume scent, and nothing could outshine it, nothing—until I discovered "Are You Vanilla? Night."
Today a guy asked me again, "What perfume is that because you smell beautiful all day?"
I put this on upstairs and when I walked past my husband he turned round and ‘ you smell great what’s that your wearing ?’ Now my hubs never ever notices anything so I’m thinking mmm must be good then , we went on holiday and a lady in boots asked me what perfume I was wearing , that never happens to me , ever . So now I’m looking at trying another scent next
Delivery was in a way ok was left on my door, lucky I was home that day and I saw it quickly, otherwise it would have been a different story phew!!!
It was so well packaged , the packaging looked so nice thank you
I use the shower gel then the perfume smells divine I love it and it lasts a long time, I wish it had a body oil too
Will be making purchases for myself and friends for Christmas and introduce them to your company
Thank you guys for making women smell delicious lol
WOW. The perfume I got was fantastic, but didn't even realise you get a free mini bodywash, which after reading I found it doesn't have any SLS in it!! GREAT
I was nervous about "bold" because I don't like loud fragrances, but this is bold in a confident, intimate way. It sits close but makes an impression. The dark cacao note is stunning - rich and almost velvety. The spices add intrigue without overwhelming. It's the kind of scent that makes you feel like you're dressed up, even in jeans
All I can say is that it’s a really sweet and warm scent that is more unusual and edgy than vanilla scents that I’ve had before from elsewhere. I’ve had many compliments, thank you.
Thank you for making these wonderful scents available for the world but especially for the United States! I ordered Are You Vanilla? and it is perfection! I have this delicious scent that I feel was made just for me... And your presentation is by far the best I have ever experienced! Five Stars all the way!!! Thank you again!
Got a sample size of both the Vanilla Day and Night - I LOVE the Night scent for the colder, winter months! It is dreamily intoxicating, like curling up in front of a roaring fire. The notes of vanilla are definitely not overpowering, and the overall scent is not super sweet - it is more of a warm, smoky scent, perfect for the colder months. I suspect the Vanilla Day will be great for the warmer months, but for now, I'm loving Vanilla Night!
