Bare Vanilla Sol

Gorgeous! Man, I wish I had discovered this when they first came out so I could have snagged backups! To me, this is very reminiscent of Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Forte Bosca Vanilla & even a bit like Tease Crème Cloud, minus the marine/aquatic/oceanic note present in all three of those fragrances. That is what I have been looking for! I like all of those scents—sunny, summer vanillas—but could do without the marine accord they all have going on. So happy to have found this! I also agree with what a previous reviewer said about something in this reminding them of Burberry Goddess. To me, that is because the vanilla in this comes across as very similar to the dry-down of BG; it's an absolutely delicious vanilla! In this, however, instead of lavender, it has a solar note, which kind of makes it like a summer version of BG! I hesitate to even describe it as citrus-y past the immediate opening; it's just very sunny & bright! It doesn't really even remind me of OG Bare Vanilla. Bare Vanilla has a tea-like note in it (which I love, especially in the flanker Daydream), but Sol goes in a different direction; they're both great, albeit for different reasons! I was buying some stuff online during this summer's Semi-Annual Sale & needed something else to get free shipping, lol. I went browsing SAS beauty & there was one of these babies left in stock. Honestly, the fact that someone else said it was "fruity" made me almost not even get it, because I generally dislike fruity notes of almost any kind. I got it anyway, and figured I'd just give it away if I didn't like it. But, wow! This turned out to be a gorgeous, sunny, summer vanilla that is not overly fruity nor citrusy nor aquatic; I'm truly in love! Had I known about this sooner, I would have gotten backups of the mist & a lotion too! Haven't seen any in stores. I'm very pleased to have gotten the one that I did, though, and (if, after stalking the website for any returns that pop-up, it just never comes back in-stock) I might have to break down & buy one from a reseller!

this is very similar to bare vanilla splash, but that pulls slightly more coconutty while this has a tiny touch of citrus. i think i like this one better since it's just a teeny bit more versatile, whereas the splash flanker feels like it has more of a pool-ish quality if that makes sense. the white chocolate comparison is spot on! if i could rewrite the notes, i would say vanilla, white chocolate, coconut, solar notes, and a hint of citrus zest. if you're a vanilla lover like me, this is one that you can get away with in the summertime. performance is pretty average for the bare vanilla line, but it's a summer body mist so i don't mind that!

In my opinion, this is the best Bare Vanilla variant. Don’t get me wrong, I LOOOOOVE the original bare vanilla, but this just does it for me. It lasts longer, has bigger silliage and is just such a perfect summer mist. It’s quite citrusy but not enough to overpower the vanilla. It’s super duper yummy and I recommend it to anyone who likes a frutier vanilla.

I absolutely love this. It reminds me of Burberry Goddess honestly I don’t know why. I layer them all the time or just use this when I don’t want to waste my Burberry Goddess. So good. Sexy, sunny, but never too much. Not screechy or sunscreeny. I love it! Hope it comes back for a summer sale.

It's so sweet and juicy omg. I don't usually like fruity fragrances, but this is like pomelo nectar with vanilla. Pomelo is like a sweeter kiwi or mango (don't know how to really describe it but it's sweet). The vanilla is present. I got backups because it's very uplifting
