Where sweetness meets the flame. Vanilla Ash opens with the smoldering depth of charred woods before melting into rich molten vanilla, creating a dark, creamy sweetness with an addictive warmth. As it wears, smoked amber and resinous woods rise against the skin, leaving behind a deep, magnetic trail that feels sensual, mysterious, and beautifully scorched.
Infused with Smoky Quartz, Vanilla Ash is dark gourmand at its finest—vanilla after midnight, with the embers still burning. 🔥🖤

Layered vanilla ash under my favorite, cosmic dreams, my husband literally chased me around the house, sniffing me and asking me what I was wearing 🤣 10/10. No notes 🫶😆😘
I love this oil! The scent is fantastic and pairs so well with Cherry Bomb, Violet Moons and Hellebore. I wear it alone with Queens and Monsters from Henry Rose. I hope I never have to go without it! It is a smoky vanilla with some brightness from the pink pepper. 10/10.
I sooo l o v e Vanilla Ash and have used daily since it arrived. It’s light enough for daily wear in very hot weather. I only wish it were a bit stronger all on its own bc it’s truly a perfect daily scent. Layers lovely with my other fragrances. A new staple for me, for sure. I will never grow tired of this one 🖤
OH MY GOODNESS! Where has Garden Alchemy been all my life, I LOVE body oils and I came across this on Facebook and was a bit hesitant, especially trying new things but I took a chance and I am IN LOVE and am converted. I am a huge vanilla girly and this one is by far my absolute favorite, it's not a sweet vanilla, which I love, but it's subtlety sweet with smokiness, like an incense, it's very witchy and mysterious. I'm actually going to buy another one, because it smells so good. I will be buying more from GA. THANK YOU 😊 OH and my skin LOVES this oil, it soaks it right up, and leaves my skin scented for hours.
Vanilla Ash has a deeper, smokier twist on vanilla that's sugary or gourmand. It’s atmospheric, a bit meditative with an incense like vibe. Great if you love vanilla but want something more mature and intriguing.
I highly recommend any of Rileys oils. They are Top Tier all the way! This one is vanilla, pink pepper, incense, amber, tonka bean, bergamot and infused with smoky quartz. I was in love as soon as I put it on my skin.
GIRG. MUST HAVE, 1:1 Vanilla Smoke but enhanced. The longevity and projection is exceptional. The carrier oils Riley uses have improved my skins' texture and hydration like no other product in my 46 years. Love love love Vanilla Ash.
I do not wear this one alone, because it's a little too smoky for me by itself.... but blended with Ivory Aura and or Vanilla Amour, it's a dream!! Sooo good!
This is not your mom's vanilla for sure. It's heady and powerful. I applied this after an evening bath before bed and it was almost too much with the smoky incense notes. However, for a night out, especially at a goth club, this is your winner and what I will be using it for.
Sexy, sweet, smoky, and long-wearing! This is one that has me lifting my arm to sniff myself all throughout the day. It’s a great one for turning a duller vanilla into something more interesting in cooler weather, and it pairs beautifully with a lot of niche gothic perfumes I own. This is a fall/winter MUST!
This is one of my favorites so far. I just discovered Garden Alchemy a few weeks ago but already have multiple orders for multiple bottles! I’m obsessed!
This is one of my absolute favorites! It's a spicy vanilla that is wonderful by itself or it's also a great one to mix with other GA scents. I will be buying this one on repeat!
I originally bought this scent last year as the sample size and regretted not getting the full size immediately. One of my absolute fragrances I've come across and it feels wonderful on my skin. Not greasy or irritating, which I tend to have issue with a lot of products due to sensitivity. Definitely try this one if you're on the fence!
Vanilla Ash smells amazing! I’ve only been using this product for about 3 days but my skin feels so much better already!! It is definitely a dry oil. It absorbs into your skin and doesn’t linger on top. The scent lasts all day and doesn’t disappear. I love it and will try other scents!
I purchased four scents of body oil. Cosmic magnesium, Vanilla Vixen, Vanilla Ash, snd Ivory Aura. Im not a fan gourmond scents. Too sweet gives me headaches. Vanilla ash was my favorite, it wasnt too sweet on and woody with a touch of smoky, just enought to add some sultriness. Ive worn it every day and its a nice, better than skin scent. I love the bottle, and iacaking quality, the pump, its a great buy. If you are particular about scents, get the sample set firat. I wish i had. Im waiting for a few sold out to come back.
