Crystal Vanilla

This smells like a sophisticated remake of BBW's Warm Vanilla Sugar, in a way that makes me love this even though I hate WVS with a fiery passion. This is cozier, smoother, and a bit less synthetic (though still plenty synthetic and even maybe plasticky, in a way I don't mind, of course I'm the type to adore the smell of new shower curtain liners so keep that in mind), and I can sense a whiff of the cacao listed in place of the whiff of white rice I get from WVS and I much prefer the cacao. I feel like even though this is one of those 'love it or hate it' scents, it's shouldn't be offensive to any bystanders if applied with reason because it's thin and stays close to the body. It is pretty resistant to being scrubbed off as I learned when I accidentally sprayed it on my hands while putting the cap on, and while it's full glory fades pretty quickly it lingers quite a while in some sugary capacity.

This is a nice, fluffy, creamy vanilla with a touch of honeysuckle and fruit notes. Very cozy for winter. I’m a sucker for Kim’s fragrances! If you’re a vanilla lover don’t pass this up! The longer it sits on my skin the more cocoa I notice. Delicious!

This is a very creamy milky vanilla (which makes sense as its called crystal vanilla) Reminds me of Shakira S Smile Probably my fave KKW fragrance, the other ones were slightly off but this is perfect

I love this. Sweet sugar vanilla with coco. This is impossible to find so I grab backup bottles whenever I spot them for cheap, which is uncommon

Gosh, I REALLY want to love this as I am a huge KKW fragrance fan. Out of the three new fragrances released from the Crystal collection, I was most excited for this. Unfortunately, I’m a little disappointed. While I don’t dislike Vanilla Crystal, it’s a mediocre like for me. There is something about this that smells SO plastic... it’s like vanilla bean meets Fisher-Price plastic. I’m almost certain it’s the cocoa note. It is reminiscent of cocoa powder, which just gives off a plastic vibe to my nose. If you’re looking for a vanilla fragrance from KKW Fragrance, I much prefer the Nude Lips from the Kylie collection. I’m continuing to wear Vanilla Crystal and hoping it grows on me... we shall see.
