Vanilla

Well how much was I happy to see Vanilla perfume back on the shelves in The Body Shop?! THIS MUCH!!!! :-D I did a little giddy dance when I bought a new bottle! I just really wish The Body Shop would make their mind up on whether to keep a product going or not. I've never known something to and fro on the shelves as much. I think it's pretty safe to say that vanilla is a VERY popular scent universally. It's adored by both men and women. So you would think it be best pleasing your customers by keeping it on the shelves FOREVER! Take note naughty Body Shop (even though you won't see this lol) - DO NOT remove from the shelves ever again!! Also like to add that their Chocomania fragrance is delightful too (it hasn't been added yet to the fragrantica catalogue). The Chocomania fragrance blended with vanilla makes for a very delicious treat on your skin and for your senses!

I love this. Very nice surprise. Warm, sweet, a bit powdery. I detect musk and I think it makes an amazing and effective light deodorant. I have a thing for yummy smelling armpits and there is somehow a muskiness to this that is reminding me of CB I Hate Perfume- CBMUSK, but more simple and sheer, I do think this vanilla dries down quickly to a soft delicious skin scent. I has a warm sheer feel to it more than sweet, it's not at all cloying. Will be great for layering. I notice I wear it very frequently, so I plan on having it permanently. Edit: I finally got some CBMUSK after having tried it long ago and that stuff is AMAZING. But I also like the vanilla spray mixed with regular sweaty body odors, it's nice and I will always have it around. It is calming and gentle and vaguely smooth/sweet.

Some days, I wake up and I just don't want to think. Put on comfy clothes that can tackle the day, some minimal skincare, and I'm out the door. On these days, this is what I reach for. It's a safe decision. Warm, foodie, vanilla. In the bottle (and immediately after spraying), this smells incredibly alcoholic. Sickeningly strong, almost like straight isopropyl alcohol. But the drydown is fast and delicious. Longevity is solid but sillage isn't great. Ultimately, that's not what's important. This is easy, comfy, and you don't have to think twice about it.

I forgot that I had this in my collection. I bought it a few years ago while looking for vanilla scents. I heard they don't test on animals which is a big plus for the company if still true. The bottle is simple and cute. The smell is nice, not very noticeable. A little sweet, warm, slight spice in there. It reminds me a bit of Coty Vanilla Musk, but more complex and sweeter than that one. Glad to have it but I rarely use it. Perhaps I will try it more this fall, it seems like a nice fall and winter scent.

I'm using the mist version since a while, I think the smell is close to a true vanilla and that's what makes me love this fragrance. Maybe it's because that I'm using body spray version but only bad thing about it is that the longevity is weak. It vanishes within 1 to 2 hours but it leaves a little trace of it behind. It is for winter/fall and daytime. The price point is great. Would recommend as a mist but if you want a stronger vanilla, try the edt version or a different perfume.
