Vanilla Buttercream

A VERY buttery & creamy everyday scent. The vanilla helps sweeten the overall aroma, the buttercream is it's heart, and the powdered sugar helps the fragrance blend with the chemistry of your skin oil, likely due to the Alcohol Denat. The scent lasts on me for 3 days when spraying it on all my pulse points (bear in mind I spend most of my time indoors), without layering. Moderate sillage, 2-3 feet at most. I've never experienced snow, but if I did, this is the scent I'd want after a long day of snow shoveling. Alluring, buttery, and comforting.

This is such a good vanilla buttercream. It is sweet, vanilla heaven. A gourmand dream. I absolutely love this one. It is buttery and rich with sugary frosting. It isn't sickeningly sweet (just know sickeningly sweet to me does not exist- I am a sickeningly sweet fiend. You cannot give me a fragrance that is too sweet or at least, I haven't found one yet.) The longevity is decent for a FFM, and the sillage is average as well. I wish they had this in a full size. Right now, I just have two mini ones. This is a great heading to bed fragrance as well. It's very comforting. You can fall asleep to frosting and wake up and apply something new with no issues. This was a great blind buy.

not sure why this is in the database as a floral, this is a true, bath and body works gourmand. it has that thick sweetness that something like pumpkin pecan waffles has. on first sniff, i thought this felt like a lighter, less spicy version of it. as for the "pink starburst" quality, i didn't smell that before reading the review but i can't un-smell it now lmao but i do agree that in the opening there is an almost fruity note to this fragrance that isn't listed, but it settles to a warm, very sweet vanilla scent. it actually projects pretty decently and has moderate longevity, but i go nose-blind to this so quickly when i'm actually wearing it.

when i first spray this, it’s reminiscent of raspberry jam donut with the powdered sugar note giving it a warm bakery feel, but not as intense (rjd made me sneeze a lot). drying down it starts to feel more cakey- at first it felt more dry, now it’s gaining some depth with buttery vanilla underneath sweet whipped frosting. i really like this! basically a sugary, buttery, whipped vanilla frosting that sparkles with cake batter. now that it’s sat a while, it smells mostly like cake batter to me! 🧁

i really like this and i think it would be great for layering. the reviews on the B&BW website were all bad and after smelling it i can see what they meant, it doesn’t smell at first like what you’d imagine but if you like gourmand it will definitely grow on you. i wish it existed as a perfume oil though! it lasts longer than other mists by bath and body works
