Vanille Bourbon

i actually like this quite a lot. it is not complex, rather on a simple side, but very lovely vanilla scent. vanilla scent that is not flowery. i have recently found out (after avoiding vanilla for 10+years) that i actually may enjoy vanilla scents when they are not flowery. all those years i assumed i dislike vanilla because it was so so sweet, it happens i dislike it only in combination with flowers, but dont mind that much when it is more on a gourmand side. this scent is simple vanilla scents, i bought it originally to use for sleep, i do enjoy soft vanilla scent for bed and love soft vanilla smell when i wake up. this is not very long lasting, 2-3 hours at daytime, though i smell it in the mornings after night, but not much longevity for daytime use. i dont mind it, since i enjoy scents with short longevity, i do love my scents to fade away so that doesnt bother me at all. i was not expecting to like it so much to use for daytime, but i do enojy it quite a lot. and since it is so shortlasting and soft, it is well suite for office and for gym as well. it does remind me Bare Vanilla from Victoria Secret, that my daughter loves and uses. of those two i would probably prefer Bare Vanilla, but that is "my daughters own" perfume, so i keep my hands away from it. Vanille Bourbon is shy vanilla, i do not perceive it as powdery, but it has some freshness and slight cocoa smell, not dark cocoa but milky sweet cocoa powder that we use making hot chocolate from. anyway, good scent if you enjoy skin scents, if you love strong perfumes - not for you.

My best friend put me on this body mist and changed my life. This vanilla smells so bougie, delicious and wonderful. For the price is the best thing ever and i really like how it works as a hair perfume, it leaves my hair smelling like fancy vanilla ice cream. I will try many other body mists but eventually i know i will come back for this one. Also ive gotten compliments just on it without any perfume pairing, its really amazing but watch out when u go to the store because THEY WILL try to convince you to join the yves rocher client list AND will send you physical spam mail. Like mail.

This is an uncomplicated non sweet, non gourmand vanilla with some woody, warm undertones. (I love the whole line in this, including the shower gel, hand cream & body lotion. ) It's a great everyday scent & I believe runs unisex. The only issue is it's complete lack of longevity or silage, which makes the enjoyment of wearing it short lived. Regular reapplication is necessary.But as a happy-making, uncomplicated & non headache inducing quality spray, it's just lovely to wear, makes me happy and offers a lovely cosy feeling !

This is my signature scent 100%. I love very sweet gourmands that make me smell like a bakery and this is exactly that. Every time I spray this people tell me I smell delicious and they know I was in the room because the scent lingers. The note is straight up vanilla bourbon. It's so simple yet so long-lasting and effective. If you dont like very sweet fragrances then stay away but if you want an intense vanilla scent, then I highly recommend this. If they ever discontinue this I will cry, not even joking.

One of my favorite body mists and long lasting for a body mist for sure. This smells like sweet vanilla. I get some orange, maybe an orange blossom note in the beginning but haven't heard anyone comment on that. That might be my imagination. If you want a gourmand long lasting body spray, go for it. I like to spray this on my hair and my bf likes the smell of this.

i'm speaking form second hand experience here. i have a bottle of this, and my friend also has one. it's a very pleasing scent, and it just smells so deliciously sweet and powdery. the sillage is enormous. period. the moment my friend walks into the school gym, her scent just fills the air. this perfume's performance is sooo good. 10/10, definitely my fav.

My gateway scent to sweet scents!! I absolutely love this. Smells like a cake shop, a baker's kind of vanilla. Sweet, but a little sour at the beginning which fades quickly so I don't mind it at all<3 Lasts about 3ish hours and I can smell it on myself easily without having my nose touch the areas I sprayed this onto.

best vanilla scent ever and i cannot stress this enough!!! sadly it is a body spray, but you can make it last longer and project a lot more if you combine it with the body gel and lotion, and believe me it lasts a whole day on your skin. scent so good i don’t even wanna gatekeep i want everyone to know about this

I sprayed this on during lunch break and came back into my class room and people were saying it smells like powdered vanilla sugar in the room. (love). It really does have this huge sillage that disperses this soft powdered sweet vanilla in the air that lingers in the room. It is very feminine and sweet.

Beautiful bear and bitter vanilla. I find that it smells different on everyone, on me it smells a little sweeter than most people I know who use it. It has huge sillage, I'm talking it fills a room and it's sticks to hair and clothes. I had the lotion and hand cream as well.

Ooh this smells like REAL vanilla, just plucked and crushed up into a powder! None of that artificial flavouring vanilla you find in most scents. It lasts surprisingly well considering it's a body mist, longer than any of my others.

my choice when i just want to smell like vanilla. my definition of vanilla is bourbon vanilla. it makes me happy and makes me feel cozy. i love this in winter and autumn. whenever i finish the bottle i buy one more. love love love

Oh how beautiful is this.... I have been using this since I was literally 9 yo! I love it so much! Can't wait for yves rocher to bring back their perfumes alongside the body sprays! The best vanille bourbon frag!

ignore the feminine label, anyone can use this as a base layer for their usual fragrance! personally, i use it to sweeten up incense or ink<3

HOW I WISH THIS WAS AN EAU DE PARFUM! The booziest, sexiest, liquor-esque wonderful vanilla! I have nothing but praise for this.

Best pure vanilla extract. However, even as a body mist, the longevity is terrible.

This is the best boozy vanilla evvvah!!

I had the Vanille Bourbon perfume in my teens (almost 20 years ago) and I absolutely loved it! It also had amazing longevity and sillage. This body mist has kind of similar dna in a way but it is more tart and citrusy (perhaps also some white florals?) and the longevity and sillage is definitely not the same, not even close! This smells really strong at first, not much vanilla or vanilla bourbon though but more of the alcohol and tartness, I didn’t really recognise it as a vanilla bourbon scent at all at first. I could smell a bit of the vanilla after a while but then it was almost only a skin scent left, I almost had to press my nose against my skin to smell it. I sprayed it in my hair as well and as soon as it had dried down and the alcohol evaporated I couldn’t smell it at all unfortunately. I later tried using the body lotion from the same line before spraying the body mist and that helped a bit, but not really enough for me. I really miss the perfume version, that was an hit and I would love it if they would bring it back! This was more of a miss though, unfortunately. It smells okay but a bit too tart or citrusy for my taste, and not enough vanilla or vanilla bourbon, plus the almost nonexistent longevity and sillage/projection. (It’s not something I would like to reapply either, because the tarty/citrusy and alcohol-y sillage is crazy strong in the beginning!).

Vanille Bourbon by Yves Rocher (Plaisirs Nature collection, relaunched in 2019) is a small classic of low-cost perfumery. Unlike many "pastry" vanillas that taste like cotton candy or cupcakes, Yves Rocher's Bourbon version focuses on a more sensual and slightly spicy profile. Character: Warm, enveloping, slightly woody. Don't expect a complex pyramid with dramatic evolutions. It's a linear fragrance: what you smell as soon as you spray it is what will stay with you the whole time. The sweetness is present, but it is balanced by an almost amber nuance that avoids the "gummy candy" effect. One of the strengths of this fragrance is its simplicity. It's perfect for layering: Do you want to make it more "dark"? Spray it on top of a patchouli or sandalwood perfume. Do you want a fresh effect? Combine it with a citrus fragrance to create a "sorbet" mix. It is the ideal perfume for those who love reassuring fragrances to wear at home, after a shower, or for those looking for a sweet but not childish base. It is also excellent as a "safe" gift for anyone who is a vanilla-lover.

This is a plain vanilla scent, along the lines of Alyssa Ashley Vanilla, which is also a 90s style vanilla. “Bourbon Vanilla” is apparently the type of vanilla this is, not meaning bourbon & vanilla. Some bergamot/ citrus in the tops notes, then it’s settled into a simple, not too sweet vanilla. It’s okay, I bought it because I was in the mood for something like this, but I preferred this when it came in rounded top EDT bottle. They make a shower gel, lotion and bar soap that go with it.

This perfume has suuuch a strong alcohol/boozy smell when you first spray it. There's also an almost malty smell, it's like a root beer bourbon malt milkshake when you first spray it... after a bit it fades into a powdery vanilla. Once you get past the initial smell it's pleasant. I also didn't wear it for a month after I bought it because I thought it smelled odd so I think some shelf time to let it marinate is helpful.

A good vanilla scent that you can buy at this price but it doesn’t work well with everyone’s body chemistry so it’s safe to try first before purchasing. A nice choice to layer as it’s just pure vanilla but don’t expect a sweet vanilla. It’s a bit stronger and woodier probably because of the bourbon. Still very good and worth trying tho

One of my favourite mists. As a vanilla lover, it's ideal and smells amazing. However, I don't feel like it lasts very long on me. Unfortunately, they stopped selling Vanille Bourbon perfume and I had to buy this one. The perfume was much better than this mist and lasted longer on my skin.

Really like this, but it makes me sneeze so I don’t reapply much. A gorgeous all year round scent though! Would recommend if fragrance doesn’t make you sneeze.

I love it but it smells super artificial , it kind of smells like condensed milk. Theres a citrusy note that fades away quickly

smells like baked cookies. not a sugary vanilla it's also a bit woody imo. longevity is ok as expected from a body mist.

très vanillé mais comme c est une brume ne tient pas du tout et son magnifique sillage disparait rapidement aussi

Always carried it in my backpack when I was in highschool, everyone around me loved it

This smells good, but I am not fun of boozy fragrances, the liquor note bothers me. I like the dry down of this. Lasts pretty long on hair and clothes. I also have body cream from the same line and I use the cream more often, it's a little bit softer and not as strong as this mist.

It works well as a hair mist, people compliment it a lot. But I wouldnt use it on my body since the smell is a little off. It smells like alcohol and a weird vanilla

I get so much burnt candied orange from this! I have the body spray and body wash, as they were on a deep discount. I don’t mind the body wash, as the scent doesn’t really stick around and it’s milder. But the body spray just does not do it for me. I get way too much orange and tartness, maybe that’s the bourbon. Either way, the reviews I read were misleading. I wanted deep delicious bakery smell, and I got tart and sour fruity vanilla.

Someone told me this is a cheaper bare vanilla....it’s a lie it’s not this is very sour! Usually vanilla scents work well with me but this is just the devil spawn it’s sour and powdery in a weird way on me I don’t like this at all I spray in the bathroom to keep it smell nice but on the skin no no horrible smell.

this was recommended to me by a friend, i had high hopes for it and when i tried it on it smelled like something burnt and alcohol. My other friend agreed with me too, I have the coconut version of this and it smells waaayy better and has better longevity

I love vanilla. However, it has some other notes other than vanilla. I get a gone bad lemon. I strongly dislike this one...

absolutely horrendous. smells like a boozy vanilla with gone-bad lemon. ew.

I had this sitting on my shelf for almost a year and I tried it several times during different times of the year, I think I'm finally ready to make a comment about this one. I'm not a big fan of Yves Rocher fragarences since most of them have this... strange artificialness to them and this is just as artificial. It opens as a spicy, sugary and burnt vanilla but as it sits on the skin (or fabric.. or hair, the results don't change) it starts to smell like play dough which is something I experience with many other vanilla perfumes and mists. I used to hate it with a burning passion when I first bought it, but as it sat on my shelf the scent became a slightly bit better, but still it isn't good.... Yes, it is cheap and I do recommend trying it out once since I have many friends who love this but personally I would not use this at all. Not good Edit : the more it sits on the shelf the more it grows on me, I had it for 1 year now and now I actually like the scent, however it genuinely is not worth the wait regardless.

Absolutely horrendous. They took the worst of vanilla and put it in a bottle. I love their coffee shower gel and their conditioner put life back into my repeatedly bleached colored hair but THIS IS JUST TERRIBLE. When I was a kid my mom worked as a designer for a furniture factory and the dry wood smelled like this. This is furniture wood on which somebody poured a full bottle of vanilla alcohol extract but the alcohol is the type you smell on a binge drinker’s breath. I’d say it’s like vodka absolut vanilla but i used to love that shit when i was allowed alcohol so ITS SOMEHOW WORSE. It’s not even true vanilla extract, it’s VANILLIN. TERRIBLE.

sadly had to return :( not sure if the bottle i got had an issue but i didnt get any vanilla at all at first. later on i do sorta detect the "vanilla essence" scent but not in the way i expected. very boozy, like REALLY boozy. almost no vanilla from what i could tell :/

I bought the set of this a few years ago. I always have been a vanilla lover and I have to say this is the best vanilla on the plant. It’s a sweet natural vanilla. I don’t really use body sprays any more as I prefer perfumes but I will always use this in the lotion.

its smells like alcohol caramel and vanilla i had finished 1bottle before but when switched a new bottle i didnt appeal to me as much old one. it still smells the same actually ı guess my smell prefrance has changed a little...

If you're looking for an eau de toilette that smells like this, try & Other Stories Poem A Day. It's pretty darn close! Edit: I just bought the perfume oil of Poem A Day and I stand by what I said earlier. It's. The. Same.

One of my cousins got it and smelt heavenly so I got the whole set. I’ve used it A LOT. A bitter vanilla but nowadays everyone in my country wears it so a bit boring.

To my nose this is citrusy vanilla with some woody touch. Try layering it with Guerlain Mandarine Basilique and its wonderful. Chef's kiss 👌

So delicate, yet decent performance-wise. Not only is it good for skin, but it also works as a room perfume

literally smells like a fking sour vanilla its so lemony i hate it so much
