Eilish by Billie Eilish

2021Steve DeMercado

“Vanilla and cacao with a spiced edge that stops it going cloying. Cozy in a way that reads deliberate rather than sleepy.”

warm spicy

Billie Eilish's debut fragrance, released in 2021 and composed by Steve DeMercado, is a spiced gourmand: sugared red berries open onto a vanilla and cacao heart, drying down to a warm, musky amber base. It is often compared to Zara Sensual Vanilla and Lattafa Nebras for its sweet vanilla profile, and an Intense version followed. Typically worn in fall and winter.
