Cozy Vanilla Bourbon

✨UPDATE✨ This is currently available again on the B&BW site for their $5.95 sale! Sweet, warm, creamy, vanilla forward, rich, deep, smooth, sensual, inviting, boozy, cozy, comforting This is one of B&BW best fragrances! I absolutely love this! It’s an elegant gourmand vanilla that’s classy and more elevated than the typical B&BW scent, it’s smells like something more high end. A really sweet, creamy, and delicious vanilla with a warm boozy touch! Kind of makes me think of vanilla frosting! It’s a nice rich and deep vanilla, but not too overly deep. It’s the perfect vanilla for fall and winter with its warmth and coziness. I especially love the lotion, it’s my go to throughout the fall and winter. I really love using it with other vanilla fragrances, it goes so perfectly with so many of them. Some of my favorites to pair the lotion with are Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Nest Vanilla Bourbon, Nest Golden Nectar, Replica Afternoon Delight, Burberry Goddess Intense, Phlur Vanilla Skin, and so very many others. This is a very easy reach because it’s such a beautiful vanilla that’s really lovely alone as well as pairs wonderfully and very easily with many other vanillas. This is one that I have stocked up on quite a bit, especially the lotions. Yes, it truly is THAT good! I typically get great longevity with my fragrances (even body mists!) and Cozy Vanilla Bourbon is no exception, it lasts the entire day on me! Especially if I use the body wash and lotion too! The projection is good too, it radiates out a couple/few feet from me!

Sweet, warm, creamy, woody, powdery, warm spicy, slightly boozy, feminine, sensual, seductive, charming, whimsical, delightful, rich, decadent, yummy, cozy, comforting Definitely 1 of the best BBW fragrances imo! This almost smells like a rich and thick vanilla buttercream icing on me! It’s absolutely delicious! It’s a very sweet and rich scent, especially during the opening, with just a whisper of something boozy. As it dries down I get more of the woodsy notes, and just a bare whisper of warm and spicy cardamom, but still mostly that edible vanilla. This feels feminine to me, probably because of its delightful and yummy edible vanilla scent. It’s the perfect vanilla for fall and winter, super cozy. I think it could become cloying in the heat though. I think it’s lovely by itself, but particularly enjoy pairing it with my favorite vanillas during the fall and winter. I think the body mist is great for casual occasions, but the body care works well paired with other vanillas for pretty much any occasion. This is one of my favorite vanillas to pair the body care with vanilla fragrances. Some off my favorite vanillas to pair it with include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Bianco Latte, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Burberry Goddess, DBIR Pink PP, YSL Black Opium Glitter, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, VS Vanilla Lace

One of the best vanillas Bath and Body Works has done in recent years. It's deep, warm and sweet, and it LASTS. The dark fruits are present in the opening, but quickly fade into the background as supporting notes. The bourbon vanilla translates to woods, although I'm not sure what kind. The woody note is quite strong, and can come across as slightly masculine, but the strong vanilla and sweetness brings the overall scent back into feminine territory. This is not a cakey, dessert kind of vanilla. It is perfumey, rich, and seems more high end than most vanilla body sprays. The body cream of this is far more woody - unpleasantly so - but the mist is sweeter, enough to satisfy my gourmand cravings without being entirely gourmand. I get whiffs of warm, sugary notes in the first few hours of wearing this, and for days on clothing. This is a love for me, although I have to be in the mood for something a little stronger and woodier than my usual vanilla favourites. I would worry about running out of this, but I need at most 5 sprays to smell this on myself for hours, whereas I have been known to use 50-100 sprays of other BBW sprays to get the same effect. I will probably never finish this, but hopefully this comes back, and doesn't follow the trend of BBW diluting fragrances after the first run.

One of the best new things Bath & Body Works has released in years. I totally anticipate for them to discontinue it immediately, because they always do that with the fragrances I love. This is a true vanilla fragrance, but it's a sophisticated vanilla. The bourbon really comes through here. On my skin, there's almost a smoky vibe to it, almost giving the entire fragrance a little bit of a masculine quality. I really do feel like this would layer extremely well with a lot of men's fragrances that are very sandalwood-y, smoky, or even leathery. Guys could totally pull this one off, and I'm going to encourage my husband to give it a try. Haha. One of my favorite sexy perfumes to wear is Replica Jazz Club (which I do believe is considered to be a male fragrance? Whatever! I think it's classy and it works for everyone.). I layered it over the Cozy Vanilla Bourbon lotion, and oh my goodness-- it's a match made in heaven.

Nothing beats a warm, rich vanilla scent. This one is my favorite of all the vanillas I smelled at B&BW during the 2023 fall fragrance season. The name tells you everything you need to know. It's the type of scent that makes you want to wrap up in warm blankets by the fire and read a good book. It's rich and warm without being sickly sweet. I'm not sure that I get an actual bourbon scent from it, but the name still feels apt because it's somewhat boozy. I probably sprayed it 3 times the first day I had it, just wanting the room to smell like it and wanting to smell like it again after a bath. And at the B&BW price point and the large size it comes in, it feels like you can use it more freely than a more expensive scent. The funny thing is that I walked out of a perfume store without being tempted by anything but absolutely had to buy this scent.
