perfect everyday vanilla
this is perfect as an easy-reach, go-to vanilla for everyday. it's got a brightness (almost a slight bubblegum quality) that keeps it light enough for warmer weather and daytime, but the depth from the cashmere that makes it perfect for cold nights too. it's just such a cozy, sweet scent. it's nothing complex or mind blowing, but it's the kind of scent i can't imagine anyone disliking. i reach for bare vanilla or one of its many flankers as my daily scent all the time. i just wish it was stronger--for a vanilla cashmere scent, you'd think it would last longer and project more.

One of my true loves.
I finally found one - a fragrance that got me a compliment from my boyfriend! I switch out my perfumes and fragrance mists every single day, and he never seems to notice. I bought this last year and after I sprayed it on myself for the first time, my boyfriend told me I smell good and asked me what it was. It's a keeper!

It really is a more straightforward vanilla, the gourmand is there, but it's not too heavy. I've found my new go to scent for the forseeable future. It's one of my true loves and I buy every flanker they release.

Great for layering
This smells like straight-up vanilla extract used for baking. If you like vanilla scents, you really cannot go wrong with this. It also lasts a decent amount of time, especially considering it's only a body spray. I mostly use this for layering whenever I wanna sweeten up a perfume just a little. My most recent obsession has been layering this with Montblanc's "signature"! This combo will have you smelling like a delicious sweet vanilla cupcake with lemon-flavored icing!

Simple but does what it needs to
I get glorious rich vanilla and cashmeran and nothing else. The vanilla is sweet but not sickly so and the cashmeran is not overdone as I have smelled it in fragrances where it was stronger than it needed to be. It is basic in a way that I love to embrace, it is liked because it is likeable. I love to wear this post shower and pre-bed, it makes me feel warm, cozy and cuddly.

Vanilla full body treatment
Actually, I have always kept my distance from that brand. (Never bought anything from them.)
I actually didn't buy this fragrance (and the body lotion) in a VS branch, I simply bought it in a miller.

I must confess...my vanilla addiction is just too strong right now Especially now when it gets colder and I would love to stay in bed wrapped in blankets all day long with a hot drink and cookies and cake...
In fact, this fragrance, although it was a "blind buy", fulfills my cuddly vanilla scent expectation and hope.
250ml for 13€ are ideal for the generous whole body application.
No dating scent, no Scent of the Day, no favorite. Just a "I feel like taking a bath in vanilla, but I don't want to abuse the expensive perfume bottlings for that".
Shelf life is not so bad.
Smells delicious and wonderfully vanilla.
It's on my desk now.
Let's see how long that vanilla phase lasts.

Classic, warm and delicious vanilla. Heavy on cashmere. Great for layering. Lasts longer on clothes than on skin.

Warm vanilla, not sugary & a bit heavy on the cashmere. Can smell a bit like a boozy vanilla

The most beautiful vanilla ever! Classy. Not overwhelmingly sweet. It has an understated elegance. Lady-like.

Run of the mill vanilla IMO. Works well for layering, and I have used it as essentially an air freshener. Okay, but not ground-breaking,

I had high hopes, but it smells just as cheap and tacky as all the other Body Sprays from this brand.

You must like cashmeran to like this. I get more cashmeran than vanilla. Cozy and pleasant!
