Vanilla Mocha Martini

Bypass the body spray and go straight for the body cream. It outlasts and outshines the body spray by miles...lasts the livelong day, and smells creamy and comforting on those cold winter days. I get mocha and vanilla with a touch of the martini but not too much at all (stirred, not shaken 😆). Though I've previously considered myself more of floral girl, this is a gourmand scent that has most assuredly captured me. I get whiffs of the body cream even later into the evening and it's just so incredibly comforting. I'd also like to mention how well it layers with Jessica Simpson's Fancy Love body spray or perfume. Something about that Champaign and mocha with a touch of powdery just works! 😁 The body spray smells wonderful for the two seconds it lasts, so just make your investment into the body butter or body cream. This is the perfect winter scent for me. I got quite a few different ones recently during BBW's semi-annual sale, but this is the one I use the most by far. I should also note that Midnight Amber Glow is quite similar, and enjoyable in its own right, but I don't get that same mocha - martini twist that I enjoy so much. I have the Midnight Amber Glow perfume spray and it layers so beautifully atop the vanilla mocha martini body cream. It's a predictable pairing that lasts all day for me.

When I 1st smelled it in the store I was torn by whether I liked it or not, so I skipped it. Fast forward a month later I decide to give it a try and realize I love it, but now BBW is no longer selling the body spray. Had I known I would have bought several of them to stock up. Luckily I was able to buy another cream and shower gel. Something about it keeps me wanting to smell it...the vanilla orchid and tonka bean give it a sweet note that I really enjoy. Someone below mentioned it smelling like soap....I assume it's not vibing with her body chemistry because I get a slightly gourmand, warm, cozy yet awakening vibe from it. I really hope BBW either brings back the spray, or brings back this compilation of ingredients under a new fragrance name. I paired it with my Kayali Vanilla 28 which smelled amazing, and feel it will pair nicely with many other fragrances.

If you are looking for a coffee perfume and you like sweet, pretty scents, TRY THIS ONE! The first immediate smell is light-roast coffee, followed by a little splash of sweet chocolate. It smells pleasantly light with a little bit of that warm, coffee bite. It smells like a blonde roasted mocha latte, a sweet dessert kind of drink. I love it, it smells so good! I had tried another perfume called Black Opium because I read that it was supposed to smell like coffee, only to be disappointed that I couldn't really smell coffee at all. It was more of a dark floral that was a bit musty. Not bad, but a little too aged smelling for me personally. And certainly not coffee enough. But this scent here, Vanilla Mocha Martini, is a real coffee scent that really smells like a cozy cafe! So glad I found it!

The coffee note is much stronger than the vanilla or mocha, but it's SO nice layered with a vanilla or chocolate scent (I used vanilla lotion and cocoa butter baby oil). The only downside is that this does NOT last. On fully moisturized skin I get maybe 30 minutes to an hour if I'm lucky, and clothes aren't much better. I literally had to spray my dress until it was damp, let it dry, and then spray it down AGAIN to make it last more than a few hours. If they made an actual perfume of this instead of a fragrance mist, I'd jump on it.

I purchased Wrapped in Vanilla yesterday, I smelled this in a boutique yesterday and decided to purchase it today,. I'm not sorry I did at all. It's stronger than I expected based on some reviews of it not being long lasting. On my skin, I get a bit of coffee, I get a whiff of Amber (from where I don't know) and some vanilla of course. I usually put my scents on my clothes, but I will keep this one on my skin only, its really strong, spicy and sexy gourmand scent.
