Vanille

Smells, to me, almost exactly like vanilla ice cream with salted caramel on top. Extremely sweet and potent, but also fresh and effervescent. I only wish it lasted longer! Luckily, this is extremely well priced & comes in 100ml bottles, so I can spray as often as I like! (Though I have found it to be a little sickly & headache inducing if I over-spray!) Previously, one of the only sweet vanilla dominated fragrances to rock my boat was Eau des Vanilliers by L'Occitane, but I sometimes fine it too floral to be my favorite vanilla. This, on the other hand, is simply in-your-face, sweet, gourmand, creamy vanilla - very much like a softer, less cinnamon oriented version of L de Lempicka! (Not to mention for a fraction of the cost!) I've found that I tend to wear this mainly at home as it's such a cosy & warm vanilla scent; it brightens my mood without fail. Now all I need is to find a matching coffee scent to create the perfect cappuccino fragrance with a bit of layering. Must add that I've found this layers very well with Yves Rocher's Vanille Noire for evening wear!

One of the best vanilla scents ever! I don't know if you've ever seen a real vanilla bean; it is one of the most expensive spices in the world (actually the second, first one is saffron). Even though its flower is beige-cream; beans are black and when you cut the thin and long bean; its content is a black powder too. It smells just like this scent. So the cheap ones are the ones which smell like plastic or articial flavors or vanillin. The only ingredient this perfume has is organic vanilla for God's sake! The real and the expensive one! İf you have no idea about what vanilla is, or you know what the vanilla is and you do not like it; stay away from this scent because it's for real vanilla lovers. It's warm, smokey, delicious; it's gorgeus!

No-frills pure vanilla scent that I usually wear between November and February. I am getting so used to it by December that I almost bathe in it (it is inexpensive). The quality is so good: sillage as well as staying power get me through the day along with many compliments by women and men alike. I always have backup in my wardrobe since this scent is a staple in my life for more than 10 years. Ok ok, maybe I should indeed use it more sparingly and bake a vanilla cake more often instead. Edit: I enjoy this as room spray before bed time as well. Great quality with an awesome price tag. They didn't change the scent in all these years just the packaging has been updated.

Is it strange that I love this so much I use it as a room fragrance? I literally spray this anywhere anytime I need to relax. 1. Room (75%) 2. Skin (20%) 3. Clothes (5%) I always have the 20ml in my toiletry case when I travel. This is a vanilla fragrance that doesn't try too hard to smell good. It simply smells like pure vanilla beans, very organic. And the best thing is, its price! If it was labeled with any designer/niche brand, I am sure this would have cost a fortune and called "Intense" or "parfum extrait". Imagine this was named "Vanille Absolue" by Guerlain or Serge Lutens. It is simply that good! -AB-

Good. Stuff. This smells simply like a vanilla baked good. Not fresh vanilla bean. There is something too cake-like about it to be sweetly fresh. Like a giant cooled yellow cake cupcake. And for the price it seems too good to be true..... but it's just one of those things that is actually too good and true. Try it sweet vanilla lovers! Great for layering. Good sillage. Good staying power. Smooth and delightful. - If you happen to be contemplating this and the coconut -but you're looking mostly for sweetness- go with the vanille.

Simple, straightforward vanilla. Not much complexity, on the candy-sweet side. I thought at first it was not long-lasting - maybe not in winter, but in warm weather, it lasts into the next day! Amazing. So it might be better for colder seasons. I also not noticed that it has a big amount of lemon scent. It also feels like lemon candy, or lemon meringue. Then it fades into the candy vanilla. This would be a great first perfume for a young lady.

Love its simple but sweet and elegant (almost fudge-like) vanilla scent that lingers on all the way to the next day, especially if it's sprayed on garments. Not very many fragrances are this long-lasting so it is worth every penny of its price in every way! If you're looking for casual, warm and delicious vanilla to invigorate you throughout the day, I would strongly suggest this particular one.

It's pure vanilla smell. Sweet, warm and delicious <3. This is one good quality vanilla fragrance that you can wear it just as it is. I think it's more suitable for Winter or colder days but I personally enjoy wearing it on cold Summer days as well or when I just come out of the shower because the smell is so calming and...did I mention delicious?

This is a true, gourmand vanilla. The one that you can smell in the cookies freshly baked. It has a very yummy note to it, and is very warm and pleasant to wear. Perfect for colder weather, but also enjoyable during hot, summer days, if properly used. Thumbs up for both price and quality!

I never like vanilla until I tried this. Its good on me. I love the simple warm vanilla smell with a bit of sugary and chocolatey smell after an hour wear it. What's more to say? I feel like I'm surrounded by delicious cookies and cupcakes. Now, I'm addicted to vanilla.

A very sweet and heavy vanilla scent. Which is rare to find as most vanilla perfumes smell watered-down and weak in comparison. Last for hours and the scent stays true to the first spray. Will always come back to this edt. Just hope it never gets discontinued !!

This is the BEST vanilla perfume I’ve ever tried (and I’ve been trying perfumes for over 20 years). Simple and to the point. I believe I finished at least 3 bottles of this but then Yves Rocher goes and discontinues this perfection!

What can i say..smells so good.it is one of my must have vanilla perfume in my drawer.since i always love vanilla perfume/oil, this is my new member vanilla collection. Sometimes i mix/layer it with other perfume like tbs etc

É o puro cheiro de baunilha... Várias vezes as pessoas me perguntaram de onde vinha esse cheiro de bolo enquanto eu estava usando. Gosto de usar para potencializar o cheiro de baunilha de outros perfumes, tipo o PINK da VS.

Although the ingredients are high quality, it is too monotone for me. I do have high hopes for that new Vanille Noir of the Secret D'Essence range however!!! Can't WAIT to try that one!!

Sweet, pure, soft vanilla:) Simple and evident. I love this warm scent which reminds me my childhood, home, delicious mum's cake and Sunday's tasty deserts:) Vanilla rules:)))

Agree, it is not for warmer climate. Good value though for those who love gourmand scent with less complexity.

I love this fragrance. It's simple, but sweet and sexy. Straight vanilla, without "bubble gum" in it.

A perfect pure delicious vanilla scent not mixed with any other notes which made me so satisfied .

What a nice vanilla scent. This is on the fresh site of vanilla, there is some citrus like orange or orange peel in it, mainly in the top but it stays present the whole time, making the scent slightly juicy and fresh (as much as vanilla can be that). This vanilla is neither dry nor powdery nor woody. It does have quite a lot of sweetness but still smells like nothing I'd like to eat. Synthetic? Not really, or at least not unpleasantly so. If you want a really true-to-nature, grown-up, complex vanilla, this is not it. If you want a non-cloying, yummy-but-not-quite, pleasant, happy vanilla, give this a try! I find it so much nicer than The Body Shop's sandalwood-musky vanilla, it is more affordable, the most affordable vanilla perfume I've come across that is actually nice. Low-medium lasting power and sillage on skin are perfectly fine for the price, it's not as weak as one might think, yet it's not a bomb, which probably makes it more accessible for people who are 'scared' of perfume and shop at YR for the skin care products. The Vanille body lotion has a rounder, less fresh fragrance, it's not overpowering but dense and wraps you like a warm little blanket. I love sillage bombs and adore my Maison de la Vanille and expensive Ligne St. Barth, but this simple little bottle has kind of won my heart too. I'll repurchase a big bottle, it offers much more quality than ~9€/100ml suggest.

I have been searching for a classy but still fairly linear vanilla ever since my boyfriend expressed that he liked the scent. This was not too far off the mark. It is definitely a bit sweet for my taste, but it mellows out just enough on the skin that I can wear it fairly happily. Definitely gourmand, I would eat a cake that smelled like this any day. The lasting power is great, and the sillage is pretty impressive too. Be careful though, because this can become an overwhelming, super sweet vanilla vapor bath everywhere you walk if you use too much. I generally hold this out as far from my body as possible, and then spray it on me. That sort of balances things out. Good for layering with other things. When I want to be less gourmand, I pair it with L'occitane's cherry blossom. Overall? Good for vanilla lovers, and nicely warm. Definitely pretty sweet, but for the price, this is an amazing perfume and good go-to.

As I could currently hear the echo in my bank account, this scent litterally saves me from going out without perfume. That said, I'd not normally wear it, even though I enjoyed two bottles in a row of the body lotion before moving on to the coconut. It seems pretty good for layering though, as most reviewers here agreed. YR Vanille is a woody and dry vanilla that gently moves into brown sugar grounds. Even so, it is not sugary sweet per se. In short, a semi woody/semi foody enveloping vanilla scent that lasts a good 6 hours (overnight on clothes and hair!) with noticeable projection. These mono-note eaux of YR have always been fill-ins for moments like that. I'd be happier though, if they brought back the Miel d'oranger one, I really liked it. Gave away my last 1/3 bottle to a friend in need.

My best friend was interested in vanilla note scents and thought she might like it, so she got it... but she hated it and said it smelled like corn kernel. I guess it didn't suit her body chemistry and vanilla is not her taste. Haha! She ended up giving me the 100ml bottle and I'm LOVING IT! I love Vanilla scents and most of my perfume has vanilla note in them. I guess my body chemistry goes really well with it. I am a chef, and I've worked with high quality vanilla whenever I'm in the pastry kitchen. Gosh! The smell of it is just heaven! If u got a man that loves cookies, cakes and desert... This scent would deffinitely turn him or anyone into a puppy dog... The way to a man's heart is through his stomach and happy childhood memories... ;)

Pretty little vanilla scent. Too bad I have the constant fear of reeking to others, since at least in my country many people associate vanilla with teenagers and overdosing it. I have also noticed that pure vanilla scent can make some people nauseous, even I myself might feel that way after wearing this for a day. Nevertheless, I like it. It's nice, but only once in a while. I wouldn't ever wear this even for two days straight, it's just too vanilla-y. I know I would get fed up with this if I wore it more often. Vanilla has a medium projection, which is great. I wouldn't want it to have a large sillage, it just would be too heavy. Lasts for hours.

Simple, straightforward vanilla. Not much complexity, on the candy-sweet (not dry) side. Not overpoweringly so, it's pleasant. I thought at first it was not long-lasting - maybe not in winter, but in warm weather, it lasts into the next day! Amazing for an EDT. So it might be better for cooler temps. Update: I had not noticed before how much lemon there is in this when first on. For a little bit, it smells like lemon candy, or lemon meringue, yum! Then it fades into the candy vanilla. This would be a great first perfume for a young lady. At the end of the day, there's also something about it that reminds me alot of Annick Goutal's Songes. Funny.

I realize upon wearing it a couple times that I had the body lotion of this when I had just started university. Not the best of associations for me personally, it wasn't a particularly good time. I wouldn't say that this is candy sweet nor particularly dry, it falls right in the middle of the spectrum for me. Very extract-like in that regard (the stuff that's 10+ euro for a small bottle at the baking section, not the 1 euro aroma). I don't think it is particularly citrusy on my skin, just pure bourbon vanilla with all of its facets.

A linear, simple, sweet vanilla. I'm gonna try to layer this one with other perfumes as well. It's inexpensive, and i can tell that it's cheap when i smell it, but i don't care. I like it as it is, uncomplicated. It's linear, but for some reason that doesn't bother me in this one. It's perfect for those days when you can't decide what to wear, when you simply want to smell sweet :). I have the Vanille Noir from YR as well. That one is too smokey, and hasn't enough sweetness for my taste. I prefer this one.

The name says it all: vanilla. I used it on an every day base, when I want so smell sweet, girly and sexy. I'm quite sure I'm going to repurchase this one, because it's a smell that is always useful. A friend of mine once said, while I was wearing this perfume, that I smelled like a freshly baked vanilla cupcake. And yes, it is definitely vanilla that you smell, but not to overpowery.

Yves Rocher's Vanille is the reincarnation of their Bourbon Vanilla and, in my opinion, the 2nd best vanilla-gourmand, second only to The Body Shop's Amorito. Vanilla is extremely warm, cuddly, lovely, feminine, sweet and foody! I have bought myself another 100 ml bottle and look forward to being complimented big time this fall and winter. :)

This isn’t a flat vanilla. It’s kind of bubbly. Smells like a vanilla cream soda more so, than just vanilla. It’s just creamy, frothy, vanilla pop from the start to the finish. Longevity and Sillage are moderate. It’s fun and it’s uplifting, but for the price it goes for in the US, I don’t know that a FB is worth it.

The best, and coincidentally best value, straightforward, natural vanilla available and I have tried many. No complexity at all and that's what we expect here. I douse myself in this stuff and spray it all over my jumper drawer too - there is something about vanilla that suits wool ;)

Vanilla is one of my favourite notes. But this isn't my favourite vanilla. It's just Okay. This one isn't as sweet as most usually are (not that, that is is bad thing). It's good for layering. It's very one dimensional.

Warm vanilla. sweet, elegant, like a warm blanket on your skin . not to sweet , a little spicy as well. very nice one a warm summer evening or in wintertime aswell . cosy:)

This fragrance is great for layering since it is a simple scent. I pair it with the body shop's Chocomania, these two paired smells so good, stimulates my tastebuds haha!

I hate artificial vanilla fragrances but this one smells like pure organic vanilla! I absolutely love it! Gorgeous fragrance

a nice warm scent, perfect for fall and winter days spent inside. plus my guy says it makes me smell like yummy cookies :-P

I bought one glass and I am awaiting delivery . I hope like this vanilla .... I hope it's a warm and cozy smell ...

Simple and plain vanilla, very lovable and long lasting. Soft, silky, smooth. Good for layering.

I changed my mind,it ́s lovely, warm vanilla with a hint of orange.

The first few minutes were promising, but when it dried down it smells exactly like vanilla powder used in baking, the kind you can get for less than a dollar. I have a bottle of quality vanilla essence and I'd rather have that on my skin. It's also giving me a headache. I'm shocked at how cheap and flat this smells because I'm such a big fan of Yves Rocher and they have so many beautiful fragrances. My favorite affordable sweet vanilla remains to be The Body Shop's discontinued Vanilla edt in the yellow bottle, it had just the slightest citrus-peach-floral touch that made a world of a difference. I have two 30ml bottles right now and trying not to use them up too quickly...if anyone knows of anything that smells similar to that one, please PM me.

I had a bottle when I was a teenager. I bought a big one, since I liked to spray it on a LOT. Sadly, one stupid rainy day, I smashed it in my backpag. Everything I owned smelled like vanilla for many years. This happened more that 10 years ago, and I still have some books that smell like this. Needless to say, I HATE this perfume.

I mix this with Coconut from the same range. It's not sweet enough for my taste, but it works well layered with Coconut. The vanilla is not caramel/cake like, it stays true to the original real vanilla sticks scent (warm, heavy, darker, not as sweet).

I don' really get this perfume. I guess on my skin it splits in two scents. There is a syrupy sweet one that burns my effing nose, and a dry, peaceful vanilla that i love but can't reach because of the first one. So close, yet so far... :(

Why this is so bitter?! I expected something between Si by Armani and Dahlia divin by Givenchy. Instead I smelled very harsh and synthetic vanilla. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

Cloying pure vanilla extract. Definitely not for warmer climates.

I found this to be a very synthethic vanilla, not gourmand at all. I think it’s the base Yves Rocher uses, as I find a similar synthethic vibe in most YR fragrances.

I am wearing the Yves Rocher white vanilla now (not the one listed here). I guess it is the christmas edition. I bought it for my sister, and I could see by her facial expression that is was something strange going on. So I jumped up and sprayed it on my arm. It did not smell like vanilla at all. My sister said it was something familiar about it. I sniffed again, and suddenly I knew what it was - PlayDoh! Yves Rocher White Vanilla (Vanille Blanche) smells like, exactly like, to be precise, it smells like PlayDoh. No more no less. So it is childish for sure. But vanilla? Not exactly. But there is a hint of vanilla in that PlayDoh. Is it pleasant? Well, I would say an interesting scent. But not something my sister did like too much. Me neither, but I'm I guy so I don't usually wear her scents anyway. Not that I believe too much in the strict borders between male and female scents in western perfumes. In arabian perfumery, there is originally only one gender - unisex. And that is just how it should be. Those borders we have should be teared down. But would I wear Yves Rocher's white vanilla scent, occationally? Maybe. It is sort of fun, actually. Fun if people whisper behind my back: Why is he walking around smelling strongly of PlayDoh and some artificial vanilla sugar? So I might wear it to tease people. I am getting older, and White Vanilla is definately a young scent. So I might spray myself to appear younger than I am. But I'm afraid the scent is too young - like kindergarden or the first years of elementary school. But it is fun, strange and a very unusual one. Neither pleasant or unpleasant. Definately not unpleasant. And definately not pure vanilla. I don't know what white vanilla is, since vanilla itself is almost black. So white vanilla can perhaps be artificial vanilla (vanillin) which is white. Yves Rocher writes that White Vanilla is made of 96% substances of natural origin. So I have no idea what this scent really is ment to be. But it is pure PlayDoh. And this i NOT a comment or review of the scent listed here, which is Vanille Yves Rocher for Women. This is a comment to White Vanilla (Vanille Blanche) from Yves Rocher. I believe it is an x-mas edition.

Organic. Really. Nevermind, suppose it is, a girl can hope. Yet the first blast is disappointingly synthetic (like I have any right to be disappointed with stuff at 6.5€/100 ml). At first I could not quite put my finger on it (initial thought was: canned pineapple?), if I squint very hard I suppose I could call it a lemony meringue. And then I realized: it is really more like sugar-powdered sour gummy candy. It lasts very long too, easily an hour on my skin, and even longer than that on fabric, when at last vanilla begins to break through this thick gummy capsule. When it does, it smells like inside of a vanilla pod (which is not as mellow as cooked vanilla, like say in a custard). This gourmand stage is thick and delicious, lasts on me 3-4 very enjoyable hours, gradually petering out. I am not sure I am prepared to soldier on for an hour smelling like a gummy bear, waiting for vanilla to emerge. Having said that, the stuff is of course a perfectly good bargain, I am having lots of fun tinkering with it. It goes really well with YR Coconut, YR Monoi de Tahiti, BodyShop Sandalwood, Guerlain Mandarin Basilic and EL Sensuous.

I swing between absolutely loving this & being completely indifferent! When I love it, I wear it all day enjoying the sweetness that envelopes me, then, out of the blue its shelved for something else. I suppose its a pretty one dimensional floral vanilla, easy to get bored with, but sweet nonetheless. If I had any complaints it would be that its a little too sugary/flowery, I would have liked a little more smoky caramel to it - but somedays I`m very happy wearing this indeed! (I also enjoy the lotion & did have the shower gel - but everyone else in the family used that before I got a look in!)

To me this one smells like vanilla extract with something berry-like in it (raspberry?). Like other comments said straightforward vanilla, not warm, not creamy, just vanilla sweet gourmand smell and nothing else. Longevity is good on me(10+ hours) with moderate sillage. Personally, I don't like it on its own. I find it difficult to wear (vanilla extract), but I really enjoy it when it has been layered with some other fragrances. Try it by yourself, it's fun.
