Bath & Body Works Wild Madagascar Vanilla
The 2024 Fine Fragrance Mist version:
They should have named this Wild Madagascar Pear, it would have been more accurate.
Truthfully, it's not a bad fragrance at all, it's really quite pleasant. However, I can see a lot of people being disappointed with this because one would expect a good dose of vanilla and vanilla is not the main focus here. It's a pear-forward scent to my nose with a faint hint of vanilla in the background and I struggle to get any of the jasmine. I believe that all the vanilla does here is help to sweeten up the pear and make the overall composition a little more rich.
I don't hate this, in fact, I like it. I do not, however, love it. I ordered two bottles, thinking that it would be back-up worthy but I was mistaken. I am fine with just the one bottle and gave the other one to my friend.
Bath & Body Works have done a much better vanilla than this before and I would prefer to reach for one of those over this one, if I wanted to use a fragrance where vanilla was truly the star of the show.
