Vanilla Lace

I bought this body mist as a very random impulse buy. I just saw the name and as I love everything vanilla smelling, I bought it. I also own Bare Vanilla so I didn't know how it would compare to that or smell really similar and I expected so but I was wrong. I think I love how Bare Vanilla smells for an everyday wear but Vanilla Lace is what I expected BV to smell like before I first bought it. I think it's less daytime smell, still not powerful enough to be nighttime but I think this definitely has more of an "perfumey" vibe to it. Initial smell right after the smell is not that captivating but I absolutely adored how it smelled as minutes passed. It's like... smelling so nostalgic to me, as if I'm smelling a perfume my mom owned years ago. It has some coffee undertones too. I don't know how to explain this but I also feel like this smells fabric like, not in a bad way. The "Soft Cashmere" description in the back of Bare Vanilla suits Vanilla Lace more in my opinion. I'm surprised musk is not listed in notes here because I totally get musk in this, as it also says in description. Overall, I'd rate it 7.5/10 and it could've been higher if only it lasted longer like I'm not expecting an EDP longevity but it lasts 2-3 hours on me maximum.

This review is based on the NEW bottle btw. After looking online, genuinely thought I wouldn’t like it due to my dislike for coffee as well as scents labelled “mature”. But, I love! It’s interesting deep dark boozy bourbon, settled rain, musky wet antique wood, natural flooring, attics, vintage/old fashion library books with yellow pages, Harry Potter, Narnia, autumn/fall, sweet fruity, creamy vanilla, and custard creams biscuit. I definitely don’t get sunscreen vibes. As a literature girly, I can’t stop spraying! Will be buying a back up. For me, this is long lasting. Though, BEWARE: Can leave your room smelling a little bit like dusty musty moth balls. Everything I wanted Bare Vanilla to be (especially because it doesn’t smell as cheap AND actually has character). Not that ANYONE asked, but, I’ve been on a VS (and Pink) journey. So far the vanillas I recommend are: Vanilla Lace, Bare Sueded Vanilla, Bare Vanilla Bliss, Vanilla and Dreamy, Glazed Vanilla and Dreamy. The only one I didn’t like is: Bare Vanilla.

Just got my hands on this beauty. The notes on the bottle are "creamy vanilla & warm musk " and that's indeed the general idea of the scent. However, I also get something slightly floral and ambery though it's very well balanced, not overly sweet and I agree with the comments bellow saying this mainly smells like vanilla extract and white chocolate. It's one of the best vanilla fragrances I've ever smelled. It makes you feel cozy, calm and pretty. I really hope they keep bringing it back 💕

It’s a milky vanilla smell, kinda smells like white chocolate?? It’s really good but it’s just kinda a subtle smell I don’t get any nauseating notes so it’s just really good for a bed time scent. Only flaw is that it kinda smells like alcohol for 2 minutes but then settles to the creamy vanilla

a nice sweet vanilla that isnt incredibly overpowering due to the musk !! i dont get the vanilla extract scent that people said the original formula smelled like but it is still a nice powdery vanilla 🤍 definitely less desserty compared to bare vanilla imo
