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!

I reviewed this the day I bought it, I’m going to update my thoughts now that I’ve gone through half of my bottle. This fragrance has aged beautifully. My juice is much darker and the performance is really impressive for a cheapie. I get a solid 5-6 hours of strong projection after over spraying. One of my coworkers told me she could smell me all over our workplace, which honestly made my day. This smells like all of the “vanilla girl” moodboards on TikTok & Pinterest. Rich, creamy, authentic and delicious. No burnt sugar, no caramel, no patchouli or heavy florals. This smells like a moist vanilla cake with rich buttercream frosting. I’m so glad that a 100 ml is $20 because I’ll be running through my bottle this winter. Just order it and let it macerate, you won’t regret it. 10/10.

Got this for less than $20 at TJ Max and I like it! Nice blend of citrus and gourmand reminiscent of Lira by Xerjoff. Not the exact same scent profiles of course but the way the citrus and vanilla are blended nicely together reminds me of the caramel and citrus in Lira. I feel like this could be worn in the spring and summer with the citrus and fall and winter with the vanilla. Good option for a year round fragrance or that time of year when it’s transitioning from summer to fall or winter to spring. Lasts longer than I expected of a <$20 fragrance from TJ Max. Projection isn’t as beastly and it leans more toward a skin scent but hey for what I paid for it, I don’t mind. Overall good buy and great value!

I went to TjMaxx just to see what they had and sprayed this on my wrist because I loved the old timey, witchy bottle. I went home without buying it and the dry down was so good at home that I drove all the way back, 30 minutes, and bought it. It smells delicious on my skin. It’s a very soft, sweet, feminine vanilla. Reminds me a bit of Goddess, but different floral note. The floral is in the background and the musk is not a sharp, manly musk. It’s barely there which is perfect for me. This is like a warm, comfortable hug of sugared vanilla. For $16 I should have gotten a bub. I may go back. Again.

I bought this for my sister Christmas gift, she's a sweet vanilla lover more than I am. Personally the scent is too sweet, on the other hand for her- it's just right. I love the bottle, it's what caught my eye in the first place. The orchid smell saves the perfume, one pass-by and it's all I smell from it, which is good. Vanilla Potion IS a potion, this has my sister entranced in it and is super grateful I got it for her. Overall, the scent lasts a good while:)

The drydown is very similar to Bare Vanilla. I've never smelled the cashmere version so I can't say with that one but as far as BV original, yes. The vanilla does smell similar to the vanillas in Goddess but without the distinct lavender that has, so if you struggled with the lavender as I did, this may be for you. EDT level longevity and silliage (3-4 hours) This is almost ALWAYS on Maxx and Marshalls online for around $15-16 so don't pay reseller prices pls

Ooo, I love this. It kind of reminds me of Outremer Vanille but a lot more unique and sophisticated (in a good way). I've also always heavily hated bergamot notes, so I'm surprised I love it in this so much. On my skin, it leans pretty floral & airy with a bit of sweetness from the vanilla. This literally smells like I'm walking through a field of sweet flowers! It's so pretty

I love this! I am an OG warm vanilla sugar girly, so this definitely gives those vibes. I've smelled it in the past while shopping, but didn't think much of it. On a recent trip to Marshalls trying to find chai epice, I decided to spritz this on my inner elbow and fell in love after wearing it. This is a stinger version of the warm vanilla sugar DNA. So happy I picked it up 😻

I just received Vanilla Potion yesterday and wore it last night. I am getting vanilla and brown sugar with some florals in the background. It's not a gourmand perfume but it is sweet, very reminiscent of Viva la Juicy. I could still smell Vanilla Potion on my shirt when I woke up this morning so it lasts! I also love the bottle, so pretty!

This is so gorgeous to me. I love vanillas like this or Burberry Goddess. I think it’s fresh but warm at the same time. I know people say it doesn’t last long but layering helps and for the price I’ll take it. I’ve been pairing it with the bare vanilla cashmere lotion for VS. Love it.

I bought this online from TJ Maxx thinking I was going to get the small size and regular Vanilla Potion, but instead I have a 3.4 oz bottle and it’s Vanilla Potion Elixir! I don’t know the difference between this and the original but this smells AMAZING!

Delicious. Easy. Affordable. Vanilla. Love it. Don’t wanna waste my Burberry goddess by wearing it everyday so this is the perfect easy daily perfume. Love it in my hair, or clothing. Plus, you can mix it with any gourmand for added depth.

Linear vanillan has flroal undertones, lasts most of the day intimately on clothes. Layers well with everything. Similqr to juicy gold vibes but not exactly same. Nice with Paris Hilton siren too. Goes with anything.

If you love this perfume and haven’t been able to buy it or can’t find it anywhere anymore.. buy Mac Crème d’nude !!!! Vanilla potion is a dupe of Mac crème d’nude... the Mac perfume is the original 🤎

i used to use this all the time it has such a sweet vanilla scent its warm and not overpowering it was so worth the bottle that i got.

Best vanilla fragrance out there! Super good dupe for the Philosophy Warm Cashmere!
