Almond Blossom & Oat Milk Comfort

First blast is a coconut note that zips through an image of Hypnotic Poison edt like a kinetoscopic film. Almond blossom? I never got my snout on the real thing so can't comment on the verisimilitude there, but in this soft gourmand context it does remind of the same thing we're told as "silkwood blossom" in This Is Her. In the dry down (which is approximately 2 minutes post application) this Victoria's Secret offering settled into a powdery, comforting vanillic haze, think: Montale's Vanille Absolu at around one quarter of the strength. All in all, this mist is a lot of cliches tied into a neat little bunch—you can't help but sniff and smile. I'm glad the full bottle bottle I bought on impulse was this one and not the other three I got a decant of: Jasmine & Elderberry, Lavender Vanilla, Rose Coconut,... All 3 smell like variations of shopping mall shampoos I've used in the past.

This body mist is an olfactory experience. It starts off alcoholic (typical for VS sprays), almost masculine, but it dissipates after 1-2 minutes. Then I smell straight up coconut combined with beach sand. Yes, you read that right, sand. I swear I saw my childhood self at the beach laying on the sand watching the waves after mom applied sunscreen on me. And then after 30 minutes I could smell vanilla almond cookies sprinkled with coconut flakes and dipped in oat milk. Great scent overall, just wished it lasted longer. For the people who are longing to have this mist again, try searching on Vinted (that's where I found it after manic searching for almond scents).

I’ve been wearing this in the mornings instead of perfume because I’ve run out of my lighter, ‘day’ fragrances, and the ones I have right now feel too intense for the mornings. It smells so creamy and coconutty, though I’m not sure why. Others have told me the same, they say I smell like a coconut, but not exactly. It’s hard to explain. It’s not very sweet, even though I’d classify it as a gourmand fragrance. It reminds me a bit of a Petit Beurre, but with a hint of freshness/savoriness. I love it. Plus, it has decent sillage and longevity for a mist, and it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser.

Perfection in a bottle. Warm and so cozy. Sweet and comfortable. Feels like the best warm hug and just the right sweetness. VS fragrances are very sweet so It shouldnt be a surprise. It will not give u headache no matter how much u spray it. Its perfect when you feel lil bit lazy, fresh after shower, before bed or just when u want to feel like a soft little teddy bear. I adore this scent with my whole heart. It doesnt last long, which is a lil bit sad but the fragrance is so good that I would still give it 10/10.

This is my signature scent and I really don't know why that it got discontinued. By far one of the best by VS, TOP 5. AND IT HAD ITS OWN BODY SCRUB! This is a whole bottle of milky sweetness deepened by almond. I would layer it with Zara Red Temptation and create a lighter dupe of Xerjoff Italica. If you never had it get yourself a bottle before it is gone forever. It got out of stock before i got the chance to stock. All i am left with is a half empty bottle. Well, better put it in good use i guess.

I have the body cream of this scent. It's a 90% dupe of coco cabana body cream from Sol Del Janeiro!!!! I wonder why no one talk about this bc it's really similar. This one leans more on that creamy oat milk cookie side,while coco cabana has that toasted coconut scent.But overall the buttery and savory note is quite similar.IMO,this one is more wearable,it's not that gourmend and heavy sweet like SDJ.I definitely will get the body spray!!

straight up oat cookies dunked in warm milk. super duper comforting, it’s a delicious scent. personally i wouldn’t apply this to myself because it just smells overly edible, but i’m not saying this is a bad scent. in fact, this scent is amazingly made that the oat, almond, and milk shines equally with balanced ratio. it also smells so realistic it kinda freaks me out. overall a great scent for snuggling!

I curse myself everyday for not buying more backup bottles of this one. VS MUST BRING THIS GOLD BACK! It's the most beautiful lactonic nutty scent ever. It comforts me and helps me feel better when I'm feeling stressed. Great for bedtime and hanging out at home. I absolutely love it. Have 1.5 bottles and use them often and yet sparingly till I find something to replace it.

One of Victoria's Secret's best body lotions and body mists they ever released. I have no idea why they discontinued it, so many people including myself loved this one :'( This is a cozy, warm, creamy vanilla almond oat scent. I get the exact notes listed when I spray the mist or use the lotion. It's a light, soft, gorgeous scent.

One of my favorite and most used sprays from the brand. So comforting and cozy. It’s so sweet on me and I feel like I should be eating a bowl of oatmeal while wearing my favorite pair of pajamas listening to slow music. Truly a vibe. I was wise enough to get two bottles because they discontinued it. Not sure why.

Lactonic almond goodness. This is comforting and cozy, I like to wear it to bed layered with the matching lotion and with whipped almond (mix bar) and it smells amazing when layered. The scent bubble is heavenly and it last awhile when it do this. On its own it’s beautiful as well

Powdery, clean, pretty. Smells like a delicate May morning in clean cold sheets. I’d say it’s got the same vibe as Coconut Passion but much more lighter and less exotic. This is her pale sister. Very comforting, sort of a laundry scent in the best way possible🧺🫧🍦

I love this, I religiously use The Body Shop's Almond Milk and Honey collection so layering with this just makes sense. It's so cosy and yummy and I like that it's not too sweet, I'm usually a gourmand girlie but this strikes a perfect balance for me.

This might be my daily signature scent tehe. Despite of the notes, it’s a sweet lactonic scent. Rich, elegant, cozy, can be overly sweet if worn in very hot temperatures. I’ve bought about 5 bottles already, I never get tired of this 😊

Simple, clean, cosy and warm. You can wear this anywhere. Even at home as a pick me up without offending your nose. I love that it smells of almond and vanilla but not much else.

One of my favorite fragrances in my collection. I love lactonic scents and this one is perfect. I've tried others but this one is the best. This with Milk+ is delicious.

it smells so cozy and warm but also quite floral or fresh, smells like an autumn candle. for sure a cozy day in than a going out on the town scent but it is so nice.

👑 Oatmeal Princess 👑 Scrumptious. Delectable. Yummy. If fragrant liquid was edible, I would have chugged down my whole bottle of Almond Blossom & Oat Milk in one go.

Sprayed in a duty free and immediately fell in love! It's sweet, but in moderation. Not super synthetic. Not a typical sweet fragrance. Gentle almonds + milk.

This was the best mist in the line and they got rid of it :( so disappointing. It smells amazing though. Very gourmand and similar to Sol De Janeiro's 71'.

ugh amazingggg, smells like warm vanilla oatmeal and almond ice cream, so yummy! Nice light & sweet gourmand ♡ very comforting, a lovely bedtime scent

I LOVVEE this perfume. Very cozy, creamy, and warm. The perfect scent for winter. It smells very edible as well, like warm vanilla cream

this smells so comforting and like a warm hug. I love to wear this in the colder months since it makes me feel snuggled up

Sooooooo yummy and comforting.Smells exactly as it says creamy oat milk and almond blossom absolutley Devine.

I LOVE IT 😍 I love oat milk, and this smell just like oat milk with a hint of floral. So comforting ❤️

my favourite body mist ever why is it discontinued 3 vs if you can hear us PLEASE we want it back !

exactly smells like dulce de leche (caramel sauce) cozy but may not appeal to everyone

Comfort in a bottle! My bedtime scent. Cannot really imagine wearing it out though :)

Amazing scent. Best body mist I have ever purchased, too bad it’s discontinued...

I love it and bought backups of it, never want to be without it, it's that good.

genuinely the best thing i've ever smelled 🍪🤍 wish they would bring it back

One of the best mists I ever smelled. Extremely comforting and cozy

Why would VS discontinue this gem of a body mist? It gives a similar vibe to Blanche Bête, not a dupe though. Very cozy, soothing, wrapping one in. It is gourmand, but has the tiniest touch of cleanliness to it. It has a powderiness that is reminiscent of porridge, rice pudding etc. When dried down, you get a light almond cookie scent. But overall it is an oats, almond and milk scent with delicate sweetness. This is great for bedtime, but could also be a signatur for day to day. This is not a complex scent with edges, for a little (literal) spice, I would have loved a pinch of sweet cinnamon, yummy. The bottle is absolutely stunning. VS needs to bring out more of these sophisticated, elegant & clean gourmand body mists. I was impressed that there was no soapiness, I don't like a soapy gourmand. This as a travel size would be a nice addition too. But above all, an actual perfume in this scent would be dreamy, pleaseee VS! Despite all the praises, the one BIG MINUS to this mist is: IT DOES NOT LAST, AT ALL! I like weaker, light and airy scents. But this just vanishes after 10 minutes. No projection, you have to put your nose to your clothes and body to smell it. Blanche Bête for example, though a beautiful scent, was way too dense and suffocating for me. So this being light is not a bad thing per se, but a smitch more potent would have been perfect. And a travelsize for reapplying every hour or so is needed.

A really nice daily scent. Great for casual indoor events (school, office, cafe) and just spritzing every now and then, though it does come off very strong initially (do not spray in closed un-ventilated settings- practically perfumes everything around you from the floor to the ceiling), dry down is super warm and fluffy but can come off as overly sweet for some, if you're a sucker for a good gourmand scent though or want to try something new, I definitely recommend (I personally think the smell resembles egg waffles a lot more than oat but suffice to say, you will smell mouthwatering). Pricepoint is amazing- you get exactly what you pay for and more, and bottle size is great.

I managed to get my hands on this and it's been a whole journey with how I feel about it. At first, I was disappointed on the lack of sweetness that I expected. With time and as I wore it, I started really enjoying it and it brought me a lot of comfort, especially as it dried. I wish it wouldn't be discontinued, it's a unique and very comforting smell, I wear it to bed and with my comfy clothes a lot (random: does anyone else match perfumes with the color of their clothes sometimes? I associate my favorite colors, lilac and pastel pink, with coziness, comfort and rest and sometimes I like to match this fragrance with outfits of those colors for maximum comfort.)

i really really like this one. it’s exactly what comes to your mind when you check the notes, with a little touch of florals it doesn’t feel all that unique to me. i’m 100% sure i’ve smelled something that smells almost exactly like this before, just can’t remember what it was also the performance was underwhelming for me. ugh😭 why is that always the fate of scents like this anyway it’s sad that it’s been discontinued(( makes no sense. but don’t be THAT upset because like i said, there are definitely other fragrances out there that smell almost identical.

pretty wild longevity honestly. sticks to my clothes like glue. it smells about as "natural" as a VS body mist can get - it's still pretty perfumey with that crazy blast of alcohol initially. it's sharp enough that i wouldn't necessarily call it creamy but it does have an oaty note to it that tones it down. my mom thinks it smells like dove or olay soap which is honestly what i wanted when i bought it so i'm fine with smelling like that. all that to say, it's a good clean fragrance.

EDIT: i previously stated that this fragrance just wasn't for me, but after giving it a bit of time i do like this scent! it smells like fresh oatmeal cookies and a glass of icy milk, and somehow smells like the feeling of eating it too! I think I would like it more without the "blossom", but it doesn't ruin the smell by any means!

Got it on sale and well worth the price. It really does smell pretty similar to VS Bare Vanilla though. I know there are completely different notes but it's sweet and similar to Bare Vanilla, which is just fine with me.

the package is incredible, the lid looks like gold and the colour of body mist looks like gold as well. the smell is kind of like vanilla and oat milk. the package is amazing.

I dont really get alot of the oats everyone is talking about and basically only getting almond blossom, but I do agree it has a skin scent and its comforting to an extent

Impression from a paper strip: Comforting foody scent that isn't overly sweet. Smells just like the name - oats, almonds, and light floral notes in a milky bath.

It's a very cozy scent. Like sweetened oatmeal with almonds dropped in. It lasts about 2-3 hrs before fading. Definitely a skin scent and great for cuddling.

My boyfriend loves this scent. Which makes me assume this is the type of scent you will want to wear around other people. They will be engulfed in comfort.

One of my friends fave everybody loves that warm milky thing i hate vs fragrances but well you did it vs

This just smells like Warm & Cozy from VS to me. It's ok, but nothing groundbreaking.

This is a very almond blossom-forwarded fragrance. I don't get any of the lactonic oat milk aspect in this which was the primary reason for me to be drawn to this fragrance. Has a slightly burnt but cozy caramel like smell in the complete dry down This smells quite similar to bath and body works almond blossom mist but the VS one is much better than that. Almond blossom and oat milk is a warm powdery floral fragrance accentuated by blending sweet almond oil into this. So it very much smells like an almond blossom flower throughout. It has a clean vibe about it too. In the dry down it smells like almond cookies /digestive biscuits that you dip in the milk or like lightly sweetened rice porridge if you will. A light gourmand fragrance if i have to summarize it. I hate almond blossom or any blossom note in my fragrance but mmh this is a cozy comforting scent which i'm not mad at. It's not very lactonic or milky or super sweet if that is what you are looking for. Not very long lasting either. This is a pretty but boring fragrance. If cozy and comforting scent is what you are looking for i feel like there are much better options out there. This has been in my wishlist for so long but after i received it i'm greatly underwhelmed by it. I was it was more creamier/milkier or at least the cookie note in the dry down smelled more strongly :(

Smells exactly like the name. Almond blossom and oat milk. It's warm, cozy and savory. Nice for colder months. I would've liked it more if it was a bit sweeter, however this is a body mist you could easily layer with a sweeter vanilla fragrance or mist if you're craving a sweeter scent. The longevity and projection is decent for a Victoria's Secret body mist.

On paper I loved this scent but on me - oooooooh no. The lactonic note bordered on plastic and wax in the most nauseating way. I would suggest making sure it works with your chemistry before buying - I love all these notes but combined they did not agree with me.

To me, this just smelled like vanilla. I didn't detect oat or milk or any floral notes here. It was good enough for what it was, but it just wasn't what I wanted. Luckily, my sister liked it so I gave it to her.
