Summer Fridays expands its fragrance offering with Sunlit Vanilla Eau de Parfum, a scent built around the warmth of vanilla and the indulgence of dessert under summer light. Vanilla has defined the brand since the launch of Lip Butter Balm in 2020, where it quickly became a signature flavor within the community. In 2021, the founders introduced a limited-edition rollerball trio that included a Soft Vanilla perfume. Since then, customers have asked for a full fragrance release. Sunlit Vanilla answers that demand with the brand’s first eau de parfum.
FRAGRANCES
The fragrance centers on gourmand notes designed to evoke vanilla ice cream topped with caramel as the sun sets on a summer day. Bergamot opens the composition with brightness. The heart introduces caramel and coconut, adding depth and sweetness. The base anchors the scent in vanilla, creamy musk, tonka bean, and amber. The notes create warmth that settles close to the skin. The result recalls cool vanilla and the delicate layer of caramelized crème brûlée, interpreted through a perfume format meant for daily wear.
Sunlit Vanilla carries a cozy and radiant presence. It lingers with a soft sweetness that suggests sunlight at golden hour. Summer Fridays describes the scent as one that delivers an endless summer feeling throughout the year. The formulation reflects the founders’ long-standing interest in scent and flavor, especially vanilla. According to Marianna and Lauren, vanilla has always represented something warm and familiar within the brand’s universe. Customer response to Lip Butter Balm confirmed a strong connection to gourmand profiles. Feedback from the limited-edition rollerball trio clarified that shoppers wanted a classic fragrance experience. Those insights shaped the development of this eau de parfum.
Sunlit Vanilla Eau de Parfum will be available first on the Sephora app on March 16. On March 17, it launches at Sephora, Summer Fridays website, Sephora Canada, Sephora EU, Sephora UK, Revolve, Cult Beauty, and Space NK. Sephora at Kohl’s will carry the fragrance beginning March 20, followed by Mecca Beauty on March 26. The fragrance is priced at $30 for 10 ml and $82 for 50 ml.
