Warm Vanilla Sugar

I have WVS from the late 90's or early 2000's. My bottle does not look like the current version. I'm guessing mine is vintage. I'm so glad. It appears there has been a reformulation and rice may have been removed. As I sit here today, smelling it, I think it's one of the notes that makes this fragrance so classic and endearing. This fragrance is a warm throw in front of a fire with the snow piled up outside. It's a true hug. One you want to give yourself over to and never leave. I TRUST this fragrance. Never said that before! But I trust it to deliver to my mind, body and soul what comfort food does. Yes! WVS is like comfort food for your nose!!! 4/4 Stars I love it. As long as it doesn't change it will remain in my collection. This fragrance is one mature and youthful women can share. I wear it whenever the mood strikes me, mostly fall and winter, but I reach for her at some point all year long. I wear it for myself, alone at home, to bed, for my husband to snuggle, I wear it out. As aromatherapy. I layer it with other fragrances. This fragrance in my collection is like a good pair of worn jeans. WVS is a multitasker.

My favourite BBW fragrance... I think the perfect way to describe this fragrance is "soft". The floral notes in this keep it from being a cupcakey vanilla smell like many other perfumes that smell cheap and synthetic.. I actually find this quite mature, but in a good way. It's not too sweet, and the coconut is really subtle, and something about this is really addicting to me. I've been wearing this for about 7 hours now and I still get whiffs of it when I walk around, and it lasts on my clothes for days, which I can't say is true for any of my other BBW scents. (I would say the lotion version of this definitely smells more sweet/cupcake like than the perfume, and the body spray smells pretty much like this but with a bit more musk) sidenote: I think this may be one of those that varies based on your skin chemistry, since others have found it to be too musky/weird

Hmmmmm....not too bad. Typical Bath and Body Works formulation...generic..???....kinda. However, I like it! I do get coconut...but not pina colada/suntan lotion coconut...more "toasted nutty-ish coconut, which is better IMO.Underneath I am getting a tad of "dirty" dry vanilla woody too....again, IMO.I got an older 1 oz edt on eBay so maybe it's vintage...lol. I see other reviewers saying the newer one is water/alcohol-ish. I did get that typical alcohol zap at first,but it goes away fast. It is an easy to wear, "simple" vanilla scent IMO. I have tried some other vanilla scents that are way higher priced and this one smells better than some of those. Nice scent to have around when you are justhaving a lazy day at home...ect...ect...lol. Not bad at all...happy. EDIT: I also enjoy the bodywash in this scent....!!

I AM HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THIS. The snob in me says, "Reject all things Bath & Body Works...you're not in high school," but then I inhale again and realize that this is a beauty only B&BW has managed to capture. It's a "Sugar" fragrance, but it isn't really sweet. It's soft & sophisticated, powdery, and deep, without being thick or suffocating. I've always been drawn to it but fought the urge to buy a bottle because of the aforementioned snobbery I'm so guilty of. Recently I figured, "what the heck" and ended up with the EDT in a swap, and I'm so mad at myself now for all the years I wasted! I see this being a staple. (Only caveat, spraying this on clothes brings out that generic syrupy vanilla present in almost EVERY BBW fragrance I've ever smelled. But on skin, it's pure loveliness.)

I am a huge fan of vanilla and this is my all time favorite. I have tried Vanilla Lace by Victoria Secret, Vanilla by Body Fantasies and they are nice but this should be the standard for a soft, sexy adult vanilla. I have it in the body mist, lotion, cream, and shower gel and have been using it for years. It is unique and hard to describe. To my nose, it smells like a warm, cozy vanilla surrounded by toasted coconut and brown sugar. The coconut note makes it stand out from so many other vanilla fragrances on the market. It is marketed as a fall/winter scent but I use it all year around and get many compliments. It smells like a mix between a bakery scent and a delicious suntan lotion. There is a reason this has been a number one seller for years. It is a classic.
