Lavender & Vanilla Relax

i love lavender and i love vanilla. i have about 1/3 of this mist left and i wish i'd been more sparing with it seeing as it's now discontinued, alas. when you first spray this it smells purely fresh and spicy, you get no vanilla, only lavender and i agree with the prev commenter that it's a somewhat "male" lavender as it's quite sharp and cold, almost like evergreen trees or that minty feel. slowly the sharpness of the lavender gives way to a sweeter vanilla as time goes on; it starts about 5 minutes after the first spray and continues over the next hour or two. this isn't a gourmand vanilla though, and doesn't really give it much warmth, which is why it might not smell like vanilla to some. what you're left with in the end is creamy, to my nose a good blend of the lavender/vanilla, slightly warmer than the initial spray, clean, a bit powdery. unfortunately it doesn't last very long. to me this is very relaxing and i've used it before bed to put me to sleep. i used it in all seasons after i first got it and i think it becomes somewhat sweeter in hotter weather. now i'll be looking to find something similar for a spring scent...

I decided to get a new VS frag, and when I smelt this one, I decided to get it, because I liked it. It wasn't till later when I realized that the reason this seemed like a good choice was because I pretty much already have it.. by the name of Britney Spear's 'Fantasy: body mist'. I felt very relieved to see I wasn't the only one to feel the resemblance. It's very clear. I have the body mist of fantasy, not the perfume, and the fantasy body mist and this smell so alike that I sprayed them both, one on one arm and the other on the other, and it was nearly like smelling the exact same fragrance. I will admit, I think I prefer fantasy, because it's stronger, lasts longer and cheaper, but it's pretty much the exact same smell. Also, the longevity is disappointing, but I use this mist mostly before I go to sleep. If you like this, you will more than likely like fantasy too. Perhaps good to layer with!! It's a nice scent, friendly and easy to wear! I would rather recommend the fantasy body mist, though.

I bought this quite impulsively at the airport but never regretted it! I loved the scent then and now. To me, this is a simple, yet beautiful perfume, that i oftenly use. I smell the vanilla more than the lavander, and it lasts quite a lot sprayed on clothes, but not that much on bare skin (about 4-6h on skin... but on clothes even a few days if smelled closely). I would buy this as a beginner that wants to start her collection and i`d label it as "lovely sweet, suitable for cooler days". I do recommend this!

Lavender vanilla, that’s exactly what they delivered. It’s calming, comfortable, so beautiful. The lavender isn’t too sharp but you have to be a lavender lover obviously to enjoy this. The vanilla keeps it smooth, sweet, and creamy. Kind of has an underlying baby lotion/powder smell. I love using this along with the VS lotion after a shower right before bed. 🛁 🫧 🍼🪻🌙 💤

the notes of lavender & vanilla are definitely noticeable but there’s also a subtle spicy note which i guess some people don’t like but i really love it. it kinda gives the mist more depth rather than being as simple as just lavender & vanilla. if you want a simple & light lavender vanilla scent i don’t think this is the one for you but it does smell amazing imo.

Sad this is discontinued. One of the only lavender scents I like on me so far. Vanilla is barely there, but blends into the main powdery lavender scent beautifully. Smells like being fresh, clean, and starting your evening after a shower, or crisp, clean, white winter air.

It smells so good 😊!! but longevity is very weak. Sadly I don’t really get any lavender. The scent is extremely similar to the drydown of Fantasy (very vanilla, white chocolate, cupcake and orris roots). But overall it’s a very pretty and comforting scent 😃

I got my mom this one for the holidays, and she loves it. It’s safe to say I also love this one!!! This is such a nice, warm, soothing scent that you just feel relaxed by smelling.

This is absolutely stunning and exactly what I wanted Mon Guerlain to smell like. Fresh and sweet you will sleep like a baby. I need Victoria secret to make this an EDP!

this is my go-to mist for when I'm indoors, especially before bed. I wish I bought more bottles before it discontinued.

I sprayed it couple of times and took a shower but it still smells on my wrist, I will definitely buy it.

I love this one so much. Wish they had this in EDP. I will definitely have to buy another as back up.

Best scent, pure lavender, very clean, fresh, however i have to respray it in every hour.

This is one of my favourite mists that I own- carefree, calm but still with character.

When I first got this I sprayed it on a birthday card (just turned 26 years young!) and was disappointed. At first, I was like what is this baby powder/baby wipes nonsense?? Then I sprayed it on my sweater and my skin. I think she just had stage fright! This is a good sweater scent for sure. The lavender is pretty strong upon initial spray but it settles and gives way to a creamy floral vanilla with a hint of sandalwood. It's not necessarily a "warm" or "cool" scent, to me it's more in the middle. That sounds like fall or winter, but I can see why so many answered spring. But if you're like me and live somewhere with mild winters and a hotter spring season, however... I get this beachy feeling, probably thanks to the sandalwood. It smells like a walk on the beach in the winter when there's nobody there. It's cool and windy but it's perfect hoodie weather. The sky is overcast. All you hear is gulls in the distance and the gentle rumble of the surf, the waves crashing onto the shore as the wind blows a fine mist of sea spray on your skin. Overall, this is a well-rounded fragrance. I get fresh, floral, creamy, cool, warm, and beachy notes. It lasts decent on clothing but loses strength after 2-3 hours of wear. The silage starts strong but settles into a more intimate fragrance. This is a pretty average performance for VS body spray. I will say that I think it's a bit more refined than some of the others. I don't think it's being given proper credit for all the notes that make up this scent. I could see why some may be disappointed if they want a more straightforward, simple fragrance. I like her and might add her to my list of (current and ever-changing) faves. I don't smell any spice, I love spicy perfumes and have owned many - this is not that. Also, she layers beautifully. I layered it with a more classic gourmand vanilla body spray and it fems it up a bit. I think this is a great fragrance for layering. These are all just my opinions, and I have a sensitive sense of smell. I have hyperosmia and often smell things differently or more intensely than others. So please understand that this is just my experience. But I'm glad I gave it a chance despite discouraging reviews.

This was my go to body spray for 4 years, I was restocking this like a crazy person. It is such a minimalist, feminine & comforting smell. I love the combination between lavender & vanilla, it is so shooting but I am very picky with vanilla scents, this is definitely one that I adore as it is very soft and not cloying. Unfortunately it dosen't last too much on me but this could be because of my bad pH as nothing really lasts on me. As I grew up and finished highschool, I stopped purchasing this and started looking for more complex compositions and palate of scents but I always go back to this one if I want a relaxing sleepy night. I imagine waking up at a farm house, the sun is more powerfull then ever and the sky was never this blue, clean clothes beign touched by the wind on the clothesline outside, I am wearing a white dress with lavender embroidery on it, 2 knitted braids and a basket full of flowers in my hand, going deeper into the woods.

I'm on a lavender and vanilla kick now that fall is here, so I decided to grab this. "Relax" is an appropriate name for this scent. It opens with a gently aldehydic note that I find typical of VS scents, especially Bombshell. It disappears in minutes. Friendly, warm, sweet vanilla then gives my nose a gentle handshake, then wayyy off in the distance is powdery lavender giving me an air hug. It trails off to a warm, slightly woody, intimate vanilla base. It's a body spray (or "fragrance mist," as it says on the bottle), so sillage and longevity is soft and fleeting. It's not attention-grabbing or sexy. It's a friendly – and yes, relaxing – vanilla scent tempered by lavender softness. Lovely to wear around the house or spritz on your pillow or pajamas on cool or cold nights.

Not as cozy as expected from the reviews. I've been using Lush's Twilight for spraying bedsheets and I thought this may be an alternative, more lavender-ey, less tonka bean-ey than Twilight. I partly got what I wanted, indeed the lavender is more pronounced but am not getting vanilla, almost nada. Besides the lavender there is something that I probably need to warm up to, a bit piercing, sharp note, reminiscent of soaps in the olden days. I suspect it is musk, and well not the most agreeable one. I sprayed on fabric so far, will see, the tenacity on it is quite good though, quite a few hours. The odd smell may then be a fixative to make lavender stay put. Added notes: On skin this smells nice.

Definitely smells like lavender and vanilla but has a hint of something else; can't quite place what, though. Powder, maybe? This scent does not last long, even when applied after using a lotion or body oil. Lasts maybe about an hour, 2 tops, on the skin and about 2-3 hours on clothes/garments. Sillage is moderate right after the initial sprays then pretty much disappears after about 30 minutes. Really lovely scent, however. I like to use it after a shower. Wouldn't wear it out, though, since it doesn't last long. :(

Although the deodorant version leans on the soapy side, I do not sense much of the soap in the body mist. This is a very light perfume, do not get this if you are looking for a heavier/darker scent. It is very simple and straightforward with little to no other components. This would be a stereotypical "clean girl" fragrance. The powdery note is well blended and does not smell out of place.
