this scent is so slept on, but this is one of my favorites from vs's core line, along with bare vanilla. it's more of a gourmand coconut than a lot of other coconut scents, which can pull really sunscreen-y/tropical. although this has a little...

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...

so lovely but very light! at first, i couldn't smell anything but this actually got stronger on me over time and lasted amazingly, which was a pleasant surprise. it opens with a smokiness like by the fireplace, then smells like creamy sandalwood...

when i first smelled this, i didn't love it because the gum drop note is stronger than i thought it would be and i felt like it clashed with the gingerbread, but the longer i own it, the more i like it. it's a juvenile gourmand + fruity...

this opens with an almost cleaner-like (unlisted) sharp pineapple note that i lowkey cannot stand. sometimes it smells like a pina colada candy but other times i get that cleaner smell (maybe also an unlisted lime note?) and i just don't...

absolutely love this one. i didn't actually purchase it until really recently since i have snowflakes and cashmere, which is very very similar, but this is just a bit fresher and more floral. it's a perfect year-round scent...

i'm surprised this was released in the cooler weather, since this whole collection seems more like a spring collection than a fall collection to me. either way, bare vanilla flankers are always a safe blind buy for me. this is slightly lighter and not as deep...

velvet petals flankers tend to be pretty different from the og, but thankfully this one is relatively similar. it's a bit fluffier and less dense than the og overall, and opens up with a brighter floral that's a little more sugary and creamy. however,...

i'm not sure if there was a labeling error with this fragrance, since i know that that's happened with some vs scents before, but i don't get hot cocoa vibes from this at all. if anything, i feel like this would layer well with the recently launched...

i recently got a literally $5 dupe of eilish from a local discount store ("united scents delish" if you're interested!) and after falling in love with the scent (not so much the performance), i knew i wanted to commit to getting this since...

this opens as a clean, slightly powdery scent, which i'm not usually the biggest fan of. for whatever reason though, i enjoy this, even in the opening (maybe because it smells clean but not soapy). however, the drydown is where this really shines--it...

absolute goodness. the initial spray can be a bit sharp, but once the smoky/woody/spicy notes sit and mellow out a bit, it's just a beautiful, nuanced vanilla that's sweet without being cloying or gourmand. it's classy and mature, but not grandma-ish...
