Vanilla Buttercream Bath & Body Works 2023

Underrated gourmand vanilla
If you're looking for a good "basic gourmand vanilla", this is it! So many good vanillas from BBW/VS have other notes that are dominant, like:
- bourbon ( Wild Madagascar Vanilla Eau de Parfum )
- cake ( Confetti Cake Pop )
- cookies (the 2022 version of Happy Birthday )
- incense ( Vanilla Lace Fragrance Mist )
- marshmallow ( Vanilla Bean Noel )
- "metallic" ( Wrapped in Vanilla )
- musk ( Bare Vanilla )
- "playdoh" ( Warm Vanilla Sugar Fragrance Mist )
- powder ( "Fresh Vanilla | Bath & Body Works" )
- sandalwood ( Vanilla Noir )
- "woods" ( Wicked Vanilla Woods )
Don't get me wrong, I still love plenty of the above. But Vanilla Buttercream doesn't have other notes that dominate, and sometimes that's all you need.
It's an uncomplicated, true vanilla buttercream; rich vanilla, sweetened with a touch of caramel (which just feels like a warmer version of the butter in buttercream).
I wish it projected more, it's fairly soft - but I'm still happy with it, and am impressed with the longevity for it being a "fluffy vanilla" profile (lasts several hours on my skin). This will be my go-to for birthdays!
