a beautiful vanilla.. not a french vanilla.. a British vanilla..although almost most of all the vanillas come from Madagascar, mexico, and many parts of the Indian ocean like Indonesia..but each vanilla depending on how its layered ormixed with other accords.. reflects a different culture..its more of a bourbon vanilla ..the body shop was known tohave ssome of the beast purest vanilla oils but in the past 10 years things have gone more commerciali ..it used to be so much more mellow.. round.. and full of vanilla.. now you tend to smell the alcoholic.. musky basse a lot more ..but its still nice.. powdery.. musky.. peachy.. in a base of light amber ..and sandalwood.. with middle notes of white flowers which are a lot more abundant.. vanilla with ambers and more oriental now its becoming lighter with more British flowers .. dries down to a more subtle round powdery vanilla mist with hues of orange bosom Lilly and jasmine and tuber rose..top notes of peach apricot and lemon and plums make it a bit sweeter in a light manner not sickeningly sweet..and crispier and fresher.. all accords compliment each other perfectly.. its a skin scent.. you can apply it to your pulse points.. and develops with your skin in unimaginable ways..it melts in to your pores ..and transforms in to the most wonderful beautiful experience of pleasure..its a perfect base for so many other perfumes.. if you like layering..you will love this.. i love layering it with the strawberry or dewberry oils or even coconut oils from the body shop..or you can use the vanilla oil from body shop to enhance it and layer it with the 2 vanillas from their line and strawberry perfume..whatever you do with it it turns magically wonderfull perfume ratting 4 out 5 bottle ratting 3.5 out 5 edt 50 ml bought from the body shop.. shop about 21 us $ it reminds me of those Vanilla Perfume Oil Vanilla 2012 for women and men

From all my perfumes, old and new, cheap and designer's, this is the one by boyfriend loves best and he always comments on how good I smell when I wear it. The vanilla in this merges with caramely, coconutty and somehow slightly fruity notes. The fruits however do not play the biggest part in this creation, but add a thickness and sirupy intensity to the perfume, which I love. It is a comfort scent, that at the same time manages to be louder than the average scent and very recognisable, so it could be a good signature scent for a woman who loves her vanilla on the playful side. But be warned, it is very sweet! The new vanilla perfume the body shop is selling has less gourmand notes and is more on the floral side, so I got myself some backups, as long as they still sell the old version. Be fast, as they are already running out of it!

I am not a pure vanilla fan AT ALL, with the exception of this scent (and Yankee Candle's French Vanilla). I love vanilla wrapped up with sandalwood, however, so I love this scent! It's deeper & more sophisticated than a sweet & sugary vanilla cupcake scent. I absolutely love it & I tend to mix it a lot with other fragrances that I feel need a punch of vanilla. I also adore many of The Body Shop's perfume oils for put a VERY long-lasting scent in my hair. Honestly, the fragrance will last in your hair until you wash it out! ;) It's lovely!

On my skin this is a mixture of vanilla with a bit of peach, just a hint of citrus, and the sweet aroma of blooming orange blossoms. This isn't one of those cloyingly sweet dessert fragrances, and it isn't a complicated scent, but it is light and yummy! Sometimes you just want a simple sweet fragrance that concentrates one of your favorite perfume notes, vanilla. When all is said and done, it is the vanilla note that lasts, and will be remembered, like a sweet, lingering, vanilla pipe tobacco.

This is a marvellous fragrance which also demonstrates what The Body Shop is best at: Unintrusive scents which underline one's personality rather than replacing it. Rather than crying out loudly "This fragrance is an expression of my individuality!!!", it becomes one with the wearer, given that she has something like a personality. In other words: an excellent choice for any woman of any age. ****
