Vanilla Potion

One of the best cheapie blind buy purchases ever. And I can say that with confidence because after 2 weeks my bottle is halfway gone and this is a 100ml. I love spraying, over spraying and respraying this perfume. Its a very soft aromatic vanilla (from the bergamot, freesia, and musk). But the driftwood and bergamot play together nicely to give a kind of citrus, solar, type smell that I love when first spraying. Once it dries down it's simply a sugary vanilla. Not dense like frosting, but vanilla all the same. It's called Vanilla Potion because it's magical. At least for me, I love to layer this on top of MANY things and it adds a nice sugary sweet touch to them, and because this is soft it's not too much, or changes the scent underneath it. Perfection. Great easy reach when you just want to smell GOOD. You can wear this with freshie skin scents, floral loud projectors, warm close to skin scents, and heavy thick syrupy fragrances. You can do a lot with this and the best part is it's only $16.99 at most. Bad thing is it's hard to find now 😒 If I do see it at TJ Maxx or Marshalls, best believe I'm getting another bottle. **EDIT I know why I love this soo much now. The dry down reminds me of the vanilla bean perfume oil from Kuumba made. A nice sweet simple vanilla that can literally go with ANYTHING, anytime of year...WOW!!!

Just found this at Marshalls for $16.99 and OMG this is SO AMAZING!! Nice thick creamy dreamy vanilla!! Going strong now 3 hours later and I'm guessing I should have bought the second bottle they had on display. (Always listen to your gut..darn!!) This is quality...so much better than the "BBW Bourbon Vanilla" that it resembles. Going to layer this with something tomorrow for church and see how it performs as a sweet vanilla layer!! I may have to swing by that Marshalls after church tomorrow and see if that other bottle is still there. I NEEDS IT!!!! UPDATE: This fragrance is "Burberry - Goddess" without the lavender!!! Thank goodness I got that backup bottle...gotta find more! 18MAR25 UPDATE: Welp...I ran through both of those bottles in less than a year. I guess having to put on so much to get it to last really depleted the bottles. Ah well, I'll move on...this was nice but too much work to keep up.

I purchased this fragrance because of one particular influencer, Jasmine. I've been looking for this fragrance since she first mentioned it on her channel and I finally found it at TJ MAXX. I was happy, now when I first sprayed it I didn't understand the hype, once I let it sit on my skin for a little bit I bet where she was coming from. However, I still don't think it's groundbreaking like that, I still like it and for the price how can you be mad? It lasts a long time on me and I layer it a lot so yeah I'm happy with the purchase. The day I went they had 4 on the shelf now I feel like I can use another one because you can use this fragrance up pretty fast because it's light and easy to wear. so yeah I wish I would've gotten a second bottle. Thanks, Jasmine Bullard for putting us on because you were the first influencer I heard talk about this fragrance.

This is almost a dupe of Burberry Goddess. The vanilla note is identical to my nose, if you layered the two it would be an amazing combo. The sillage and longevity are pretty impressive for an affordable fragrance. I don’t get any of the freesia or bergamot, this is a woody vanilla bomb. If you love Burberry Goddess but you don’t want to spend $110 on a 30ml bottle with weak longevity, I highly recommend this one. I found this randomly in the shoe section at tj maxx for $18 and it’s a 100 ml bottle. I sprayed the air and didn’t smell anything so I wasn’t impressed, but i walked near that section again later on and it smelled like a delicious creme brûlée so I had to pick it up. I would overspray if you want it to last all day, but with the price point that doesn’t bother me at all. This will be stunning this fall & winter.

What a beautiful perfume! I absolutely adore this one. The open has a strong white floral note which goes away after about 10-20 minutes. Once it's really dried down it turns into the sweetest cloud of pure vanilla goodness. It's such a calming and darling scent. The sillage is moderate for maybe two hours and then drops down to a skin scent for the rest of the day, but given the price it's no problem to respray every few hours. I spray this all over my arms and pillows most nights and sleep like a baby. It's also great for layering - I spray this before applying the Sand + Fog Vanilla Musk oil to pull out more sweetness and tone down the musk (which can be quite overbearing). I'm sure this would go great with tons of other fragrances given how simple it is. If you can find this at Marshall's BUY IT!
