Black Currant Vanilla

This is my signature winter/fall fragrance. I LOVE IT. Spent a small fortune on a bottle of the EDT as it is discontinued. Well worth the $100 spent. It is smoky and cozy. I find that it really meshes well with my body chemistry. My ex boyfriend bought me the set of body lotion, oil and body wash. We used it up in no time and...let's just say he really LOVED the smell of it. BBW Black Currant Vanilla stays PUT on your skin or on your clothes. It leaves behind a beautiful sweet lemon and black currant top note, a healthy pop of rosemary, followed by a dose of creamy vanilla, musk (though it's not listed I definitely catch a hint of it) and a healthy dose of pumpkin in the dry down. Perfect for the holidays. Black Currant Vanilla makes me think of being snuggled up in front of a warm fire on a cold winter's day. Or a stroll through the park, all bundled up. As the biting chill in the air nips at your cheeks, you pull your neck into your scarf and breathe in warmth and comfort. Hot chai tea and incense. The smell of your partners skin as you take a close sniff, falling more and more in love with them. The rich warmth of autumn in it's full spectrum of gold, vermilion and scarlet. If you like this one, I suggest Jasmine Vanilla from BBW, also from the Sensual line. It's powdery and sweet. Kind of similar but less of a seasonal fragrance and more of a year round fragrance.

This a favorite of mine. I'm not fond of vanilla, but I get no stuffy hard to take a deep breath feel with this at all. Whatever! I love this stuff! It's like velcro...I haven't enough strength to pull my own nose away from this! I hope others don't find this offensive. I have the lotion and it's quite strong. I wouldn't wear it to church because it seems to be one of those scents like incense, some love it and some hate it. Anywhere but church though, LOOK out! I'll be like a death fog, a joyous one, but deathly to those around me!

It smells like lemon vanilla pastries in the beginning, and ends with an amber smokiness that I really enjoy. With the lotion, you get more incense. The spray tends to be more on the lighter side and sweeter. I like the fact that it smells a bit like nag champa during the latter stages. Cheap, nice and not boring. I wish BWW did more scents like these instead of those vague fruity florals.

This is such a smooth sexy scent. I own the matching shower gel and lotion; the lasting power is pretty good combining just those two. I'm glad they added this to the database. This one and Ylang Ylang Myrrh (which is sadly discontinued) were always my two favorites. I like to wear this during the winter months and when February rolls around; it's my Valentine's Day scent. :)

I really like this because it's so sensual with all of those lovely garamond notes and none of the usual sugar so I don't smell like dessert. I wish it was a bit easier to find, I've had to get the dupe a few times. It's no surprise men like it because supposedly vanilla, pumpkin, licorice (or anise) and pumpkin tops their "turn on" fragrances and this has three of the four.

I had the hand wash of this scent and absolutely loved it. It was so bewitching and I couldn't stop smelling my hands after using it. How I wish I had bought more from this collection - I moved to Spain, and by the time I returned to LA on a trip, it was already discontinued. Please bring this scent back!

This is one of the best scents I have ever smelled, an incredible combination of sweet, rich, cozy, calming and beautiful. I wish I could buy it again, or that there was a perfume that smelled like that :-)

Upon first spritz, I get a delicious iced lemon cake note. From there on out, you're left with a sexy blend of currant, vanilla, pumpkin notes, and a veil of incense. So gorgeous.

Makes me feel happy and loved. It's my go too if my spirit is low and feeling blah. It's like a warm hug that makes you feel loved !

Whyyyyy did they discontinue this? At least I still have a bottle of the lotion but I will be so sad when it runs out.

I LOVE this scent! Has anyone found anything similar yet? I wish they would bring this back!

One of my favourite Bath & Body works collection. Smells ~Perfect~ !

Ballet nights by b&bw ever so slightly reminds me of this fragrance

Juicy, sexy, mysterious. Perfection for cool weather.

I usually love the smell of vanilla and currant. This one is a like rather than a love, I'm afraid. I use it in the shower and more for the aromatherapy bit; it's definitely a strong and unique scent. I wear it more for myself, as my boyfriend doesn't like how strong it is. However, I definitely think it's a mature, sensual fragrance. I'm 25, so perhaps it's just more suitable for someone older. I love pumpkin, but I don't smell it at all, sadly; I get more of the patchouli, which I'm not so crazy about.

I have always liked the Sensual line because it is usually not sweet. This is a tiny bit sweet but I like it anyway. They were on the last day of a sale, I had a gift card, and I had a coupon. I bought 6 full sized items and spent $9 of my own money !! I think my nose became confused in the store with all the different smells because I originally thought it was darker. But I'm going to give this a try. It's very pretty. It's a very nice woodsy dry down on me.

I enjoy this scent in colder weather. It's smells very rich and the notes blend well. I'm not a big shower gel person, I tend to use whatever people have gifted me or handmade soaps. If I decide to get a shower gel myself, Black Currant Vanilla is the only one I tend to buy. =0) And if you wash a little of it through your hair, it leaves your hair smelling fantastic. Everytime I've done it, my husband mentions it.

I wouldn't have tried this based on the notes; usually I can't stand something that is predominantly black currant or heavily berry but I was lucky to have been gifted this. It is more than just its name of Black Currant Vanilla. It is warm, spicy and sultry.

I REALLY LIKE THIS. DEF. UNISEX IN MY OPINION. WHEN IT'S FIRST SPRAYED IT SMELLS SOOOO AMAZING AND CRISP AND MORE FEMININE ... THE DRY DOWN IS A LITTLE MUSKY AND MORE MASCULINE. THE LOTION IS MY FAVORITE OUT OF THIS COLLECTION.

All I can say is this is wonderful on a cold, snowy, winters' day. It could use a tad bit of sweetness added, but that would just be icing on the cake.
