Pink Basic Vanilla

A great winter fragrance. I have both the lotion and body spray and find them very yummy. Smells like a sweeter vanilla chai latte. I do smell the spices of the masala chai for sure but the vanilla and marshmallow definitely keep it sweet. I definitely agree that it is very cozy & lactonic. I was on a hunt for vanilla chai scent and I found a great placement. It doesn’t have the greatest lasting power though. It stays for about an hour or two with strong presence for the first 30 mins before becoming a very close skin scent so it does need constant reapplication. I use a perfume oil on my pulse points that has a vanilla chai note and it does help the longevity of it. I got it on sale so I think it was worth the sale price.

A subtle lactonic-nuttiness! The sweetness is not ooey-gooey, but a light whipped cream chasing around a soapy note. The spice here is more nutty than chai -- something like an almond note. I hoped for more of a cinnamon kick, though this scent works its own unique magic as is. 'Basic Vanilla' wraps clothing in a beautifully sweet, nutty cloud of fall-time cozy and comfort. My viscose scarves hold onto to this scent for days. While the sillage is not the strongest, it tends to mesmerize folks when they are up close and personal. This is a very pretty skin-scent all by itself. Try it underneath or atop a heavily spiced scent for pure autumnal bliss!

As a non-gourmand enjoyer... I actually loved this! It opens up with a chai note and dries down to this cozy vanilla-scented lotion kind of scent. To me this is inoffensive which is how I like my gourmands, and I really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t call this a “basic” vanilla however as it does have that slight spiciness to it from the chai. I don’t usually like lactonic scents because they make me nauseous, but this one is quite balanced. It’s sweet, comforting, cozy, and i like wearing this to bed. I am a bit sad that it only lasts an hour on my skin.

This is my review for the 2022 version. Baby, this is straight up GINGERBREAD!! LOL It smells nothing like vanilla. It is gingerbread and marshmallow notes 100%. I guess the chai mixed with the marshmallow makes it smell like like gingerbread lol Buy it and save it for the holidays tbh that's what I plan on doing. This is a very festive scent. Try to get it on sale. It is GREAT for layering.

So sad that this is discounitued now! Anyways, this is so amazing! I love it and also the body cream (i find it a LITTLE bit better okay) Smells sweet warm christmas but i dont smell the chai note personally. Its rather like hot chocolate with a vanilla candle lit on a cold christmas evening Amazing and have no other words than that VS PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
