Vanilla Fields Coty for women

I used to love vanilla in the perfumes back in college. Not so much now. But I think this is a lovely frag, specially if you like vanilla in them. These days I don't wear much of this , but sometimes when in a very casual mood I wear it to lay back and relax.

This one is very nice.I've owned many bottles through out the years.Great price as well :):)
I love Vanilla..:)

i liked this alot...makes me smile...

Cheapness aside, this is a happy, buoyant, festive fragrance. It's festive because the scent is somehow remniscent of eggnog and is oft found as a stocking stuffer. Seems suited for cold days, as one might get overheated by the warmth of vanilla, vanilla, vanilla in any other clime. Or not?

I used to really enjoy this scent when I was younger. Its a nice creamy vanilla smell.

This was my Mum's signature scent when I was a little girl. I just LOVED how it smelled on her. Apparently I told her she smelled like 'a bakery' (no wonder I loved it being a greedy little toddler!). I would love to buy a bottle of this for every day use, as it is a 'nice' if not a special scent. It smells pretty rather than intriguing being very simple and sweet.

I just tried it even though I have seen this scent in stores numerous times. This is nice, sort of boozy vanilla that smells best after few minutes. For cheap perfume, this lasts a long time and has amazing siliage which I love. I see how some people don't care for it because you have to like vanilla to love this. If you don't you will think its too sweet and cloying. To me, this is very grown up and elegant vanilla.

I remember this scent in Junior High, and it had been out a few years before then. Yes, it's cheap. People are not getting the point... A fragrance quality is how it makes you feel, or the memories it brings back. Vanilla Fields was well done. None of the notes overwhelm the others. It's soft, warm, and comforting. A definite cold weather perfume. People will recognize it. They won't know what it is, but it will get noticed and remind them of their own memories.

Wow! I used to wear this when I was in my late teens to early twenties. I had a boyfriend at the time that adored this scent on me (he loved vanilla). I remember he used to think it smelled so sexy on me. He would always say "Wear that vanilla scent; it makes you smell so delicious!" Oh what memories! We're both married to different people now, but we're still friends. I guess we'll always have Vanilla Fields to remind us of our young love.

As another reviewer mentioned, when I close my eyes and spray, I'm instantly transported to the mid 90's in my velvet babydoll dress, with ripped tights, Doc Martens, and a plaid flannel listening to Nirvana or Pearl Jam somewhere...luckily, these are fond memories for me that I can't physically revisit since it would definitley look odd for a 30 something woman to be walking around in that wardrobe today, so I just wear a lil Vanilla Fields now and then, cue the iPod, and pretend....

I loved this! It was my very first "signature scent". I bought it with my very own money and wore it every single day. I must have been 16...and it was definitely "sweet":) But not in the way that we think of sweet now. It was down to earth and approachable.
That was over 15 years ago and I tested it recently in Target. It took me back. I thought about buying it...for under $10...I'm still tempted.

I loved this when I was twelve years old. I tried it again 20 some years later and I wasn't impressed. It smells just okay, I don't think I would have the nerve to wear it in public, unless I'm just going to Walmart or something.

Oh my God, I totally forgot about this perfume until I saw it on this site! This and Coty Exclamation were my first perfumes EVER, back in middle school. I loved this stuff, I remember how sweet my clothes would smell from wearing this- it was great in the winter time because the scent really warms up. It is a drugstore fragrance, so don't expect it to smell expensive... it's like an EDP version of a BBW body spray. The vanilla is very sweet (too sweet for me to wear now that I'm 25) but it is strong and it lasts and lasts. I agree with the other reviewers- guys seem to love this (they don't care that it's a drugstore perfume, all they notice is that you smell yummy). If you LOVE gourmands, you'd probably like this but otherwise it could give you a headache. Still, I'm thinking about purchasing Casmir just to see if it is a less-cheap smelling version of this.

I wore this perfume in high school. Teenage boys loved it! I could not believe it last year when I smelled Casmir for the first time. They smell so similar. Very musky with a hint of flowers to it.

i love vanilla! but sadly this perfume should be called dead vanilla fields as it smells like stale vanilla !

Picked this up for a song and it's lovely, but powerful. Can easily be headache inducing if you spray too much.

The drydown is a sweet, very musky vanilla and tonka bean with a hint of floral lovliness.

Excellent value if you love vanilla.

I Love this on a women

I used to wear Vanilla Fields all the time in the '90s, and am now absolutely sick of it. It's way too sickly sweet for my taste today.

I used to wear this all the time. Although lovely vanilla smell, I got tired of it.

I didn't grow up in the US so I wasn't introduced to this perfume until yesterday.

What a wonderful and affordable little gem! It smells a heavenly, bright combination of jasmine and vanilla. I'd been looking for a perfume version of Sensuality (Jasmine-Vanilla) body mist from Bath & Body Works. This is VERY close to it, except that it is sweeter than the BBW version which is slightly bitter and more linear. It also has decent staying power and incredible sillage and projection. If I didn't know it cost so little, I would have thought it was an expensive brand name perfume.

At first application, the vanilla is present but overpowered by bergamot and peach and florals. This is the bright bubbly stage.

The heart mellows and deepens into a jasmine-vanilla to DIE for.

The woods and musk in the base are subtle on my skin. After 3 hours, a sweet but delightful jasmine-vanilla still projects beautifully.

Anyone who likes vanilla or jasmine should have this in their collection as a go-to scent.

Two sprays behind the ears are sufficient. If you overdo it, it might give you and everyone else around you a headache.

Enjoy! :o)

OH my goodness what girl didn't own this in high school? I went through two bottles of this and not in a years time, more like 3 months. Powdery vanilla with a teeny bit of musk to it. This is so age appropriate for a teen and of course affordable. Cute scent.

This was also my signature scent, when I was in my early 20s'.

After reading the reviews, I know I need another bottle! I have missed Vanilla Fields. I wore myself out on it, now I am ready to come back for more. Of course, though, I wonder if the memories will be as warm as the Vanilla smell, or as bittersweet as it's undertones, as it was the scent that helped attract my husband, a long haired, grunge music loving, Gen X'er, who absolutely LOVED it!!!

Later, he abandoned that love for that of "Tommy Girl" on me.

But, Vanilla Fields reminds me of Yen-Yang necklaces, flannel knee length skirts with vest like-tops sewn in, bonfires, concerts with my friends, and tie-dye baby doll dresses, and of course, the birth of my eldest son and daughter. In other words, the early to mid-90's from my perspective. A very colorful image . . . .

I have to have another bottle!!!

It was my first perfume and I was reminded of it the other day so decided to buy it again, 20+ years later...I still like it, i think its a bit harsh in the beginning and sweet, then then it transforms into something beautiful and I start to remember why I liked it in the first place.

Signature scent of the eleven year old me. I loved this as a little girl. Nowadays, the closest I would ever come to this scent again is by tripping, falling and bumping my head on a rock in memory lane. Recollections. Vanilla & alcohol, an early dose of womanhood in a drugstore isle.

I remember girls who used to wear this back in jr high. Anyone who wore this was instantly someone I didn't want to be around. Cloying and sugary and heavy and cheap smelling.

Take it away! A woman at work drowns herself in this and it's impossible for me to be within 50 feet of her or anywhere she's been in the past hour. Nauseating to say the least!

this is the most cloying, sickening syrupy vanilla scent i've ever smelled. ugh! on me, this turns to a sweet mess with leather like undertones. just too strong and too much. if i use a vanilla perfume i need something light and soft. this weighs a ton. this also stays on your clothes forever. not a fan of this at all.

This is an inexpensive, drugstore scent which works well for some people--myself included. Not complex, it won't offend anyone. I've discovered that for me, it is a wonderful "layering" scent. I use it to layer over another fragrance to sweeten it a little and round off any edginess. This blends well with a lot of things--try it!

To me, this smells simplistic and cheap. If someone else were wearing it, I would not find it offensive or anything. I just think if you can afford it, you should get a lovely vanilla scent of higher quality. It's the difference between non-fat vanilla yogurt sweetened with corn syrup versus chantilly lace vanilla bean whipped cream.

Well...............What can I say? Cheap perfume has a specific scent to it that screams "Cheap Perfume" and I can't put my thumb on the exact thing that labels this type of perfume but it is no doubt a cheap perfume.

Yes, very complex and sophisticated and dime store cheap - but doesn't smell like it!!

This was my "sig" perfume growing up, I loved it so much! people i run into even nowv ask "wHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR PERFUME? WE COULD ALWAYS TELL WHEN YOU WERE IN THE ROOM BY YOUR SMELL" i THINK i WILL GWT A BOTTLE OF THIS JUST TO HAVE AROUND FOR NOW AND THEN.

I have a brilliant Coty 'fields' version called 'APRIL FIELDS'.

It is fabulous and includes the following notes
Top: Lemon, Pear Bergamot.
Middle: Rose, waterlily, Cucumber, jasmine, lily of the valley, Ivy.
Base: Musk, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Orris.

I found it on the net and made a blind purchased based on the listed notes. Its a cologne but the strength is great and longevity as good as any parfum.

I find the scent rare, fresh and earthy.

Based on April fields exquisite beauty I think vanilla fields is now worth a try (the name vanilla put me off before now)

When Vanilla Fields first came out it was a great drugstore fragrance. Then everybody started to wear it and sometimes wearing too much as mentioned in other reviews. If a little is good then a lot is not always better. Just because it was not expensive doesn't mean it's okay to overspray it. I don't like it so much now except as a shower gel or powder. I don't want to smell it all day. It's still a good affordable scent for everyday. Just a little is enough though.

I remember my older sister having this when it first came out and me not liking it because it gave me a headache and made my stomach turn (she is very heavy-handed when it comes to fragrances). This is a sweet and creamy vanilla scent. You can smell the vanilla and coconut immediately. The jasmine kicks in but the vanilla & coconut dominate. I would prefer this for the fall/winter and maybe early spring because of its sweetness. Ladies PLEASE go easy with this one, a little definitely goes a long way.

Like almost everything else Coty puts out these days this is intense and sharp. For an oriental it is oddly unsweet and unspicy. It smells more like burnt sugar than anything else. If you want a perfume that gets you attention this is the one. It does stand out.

I loved it when I was 16!but when I bought it last year I didn't like it that much, maybe because I bought collogne and before I had perfume.

i love it soft pretty powder vanilla scent

I just have to say that this is a horrible headache-in-a-bottle for me. Maybe it's because a co-worker has it piped through her shower, then goes out at lunch to smoke, and bathes in it again. It permiates the entire building!

how delightful!

It was a pleasant surprise indeed, when i opened that box of vanilla fields (i ordered blindly in the internet).

THis is not a gourmand vanilla, but more like sweet warm woodsy vanilla. the amber rounds the scent off.very light flower and fruits in the beginning, very very light.

my bottle says cologne spray, but the longevity...is more than some eau de parfum i tried in the market nowadays...

PS...I was going to mention that if you enjoy this scent but have progressed in your vanilla addiction you MUST try all of the very affordable vanilla scents by La Maison. Especially the La Maison de la vanille sauvage madagascar. It is to die for!

I am a vanilla fields ADDICT. It mixes well with my chemistry and is a perfect scent to warm up another "cold or green" perfume you may have. It is so similar to the pricey Casmir Chopard that I am unable to tell the differnce in a blind side by side test (and I have a great NOSE!). I have worn this for years, and this is the one scent my children always associate with their mom. My son loved for me to spray his Teddy bear with this whenever I had to be away from home or could not tuck him in to bed at night. I am sending a bottle with my daughter who is off to college this year and on her own so that if she wants to think of her mom or feels homesick she can just squirt a tad on her pillow or wrist and know in her heart I am with her in spirit.
This perfume of course has a vanilla base to it, but it is much more complex than that. Don't EVER dismiss "drug-store" fragrances (especially by Coty). Many of the original companies that produced the older traditional and even vintage scents had the notion that scent should be affordable to EVERY woman, not just the wealthy or affluent females in society. This perfume will always hold a place in my heart and will forever bring back memories to me of my darling babies.

I bought a 0.5 oz. mini of Vanilla Fields in a drugstore sale one summer along with a couple of other Coty minis, and this one turned out to be my favorite. It reminded me at the time of Annick Goutal's Songes, which had just come out then, and which I was excited to try, but found unwearable because of the intensely mildewy/rubbery note on my skin (maybe some high quality tuberose that I couldn't appreciate?). Vanilla Fields' composition - white florals on a sweetly vanillic (not foody) & woodsy base - seemed very similar to Songes, but friendlier for me. Even my husband complimented me on Vanilla Fields, though he really dislikes most perfumes (I think he prefers this "floral-oriental" style). You could definitely do worse at the drugstore than this one. I may go look for another bottle today while I'm out and about. It's nice for summer. :-)

Brings memories.Good for a department store brand bought it for my mother ages ago..still remember the smell..She really likes it, so did I.Intense vanilla

I loved this Vanilla fragrance... when I was younger I'd spray this on and then Love's Baby soft lemon... The combo smelled divine...I should try it again LOL.... Unless anybody knows of a vanilla/lemony perfume fragrance... I really love Eau De Hadrien for lemony

This is the scent of my teenage years along with the Body Shop's Vanilla Oil. Cheap and sweet and perfectly suited to that age group. For a grown up version you can't go past Chopard's excellent Casmir.

i used to wear this when i was a teen in the 90's. Good memories :-)

I love this one very much, makes me feel 16 again( back then I wished to own a bottle of it, unfortunately I did not have the chance and now I finnaly managed to order a bottle from Amazon, 1 month waiting, it arrived from USA since I could not find it in Europe shops),a very nice vanilla, not the foody one, creamish + a hint of jasmin, I think it resembles Toccade and Casmir. Received one compliment today, my second day of wearing it, i'll update when boyfriend arrives, curious how men will perceive this:)
2 nd in the top of my favourites ( 1.Samsara, 3.Very Irresistible Sensual).

like others have stated this was 1 of my 1st perfumes & at the time I loved it. while it is not 1 that i would buy now for myself, it will always have fond memories for me and it would be a great 1st perfume for a girl in her early teens.

Not what I expected, all i could detect was floral :/

the most romantic and poethic vanilla all over the perfume world.
there's no food, no lust.
just an innocent maiden voice floating through transparent flower petals. If Galadriel wore vanilla scent, it should be VF de Coty.

This one just does not smell good to me, it smells cheap. I am a huge vanilla fan. If you truly want vanilla try Lavanila Vanilla Coconut (more true to the vanilla fragrance than their Pure Vanilla). Or for a softer floral vanilla tone try Filles des Iles Floral Sensual.

This one remembers me a tall, brown-eye ,blond hair beautiful and elegant woman dressed up in a kashmere blouse, which my father was crazy about...This kind of vanilla has kind of a roughness, in fact nothig sweet, little bitter. Vanilla smell seem to be only very soft and gentle background but it appears in all levels of composition. Not for hot weather. Good for all ocasions. Unusual version of vanilla smell.

I'm not big on vanilla in fragrance, but this one is kinda nice-

Vanilla with a fresh hint of Jasmine and peach. Coconut hardly traceable.
Powdery and elegant. I remember having a small bottle of this during my puberty days. Absolutely loved it back then and I still do.Brings back sweet memories.

Vanilla Fields was my favorite perfume 10 years ago.Very nice.

This is a pure vanilla perfume! The fruits and other components I couldn't detect on it; only a warm, creamy vanilla scent!...
I was thirteen when I first tried it and I remember, it was my first real perfume. But now I think it isn't suitable for teens even its soft nature, it's a grown-up woman fragrance...

Oh man it brings back memories. I had this and Ghost Mist back in highschool and that is exactly where they belong. LOL! the mid 90's I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this now. Some perfumes are truly timeless but this is definately not one of them. ;')

I remember this perfume from when I was in middle school. I never owned it myself (though my Grandma did), but an a few girls in my grade wore it. I didn't think it was that fantastic. Nothing special about it at all. I'm sure there are other vanilla fragrances that are much much better.

I could not detect any of the top notes that are listed. I'm sure that if I could have smelled the coconut, I might have liked it more. Mostly I could smell vanilla, musk, jasmine, amber, and sandalwood. The jasmine was prominent to me and sort of ruined the fragrance for me. I like jasmine...just not in here.

This was my very first perfume....smells very good

I got Vanilla Fields form Fragrantica as a gift (I was really excited by the way, simply because of the fact, that I won something!:) As much as I appreciate this - I cannot imagine any young woman wearing this scent. Like there's a slogan "not suitable for adults", there should be the same but "not suitable for the youth". I will gladly present Vanilla Fields to my grandmother, she will be happy:)

Oh, this takes me back to my teens! I had always looked longingly at the rows & rows of expensive perfumes but knew I would never be able to afford one on my pocket-money budget…so it was a toss-up between Charlie, Vanilla Fields & some lavender concoction. It was a no-brainer – Vanilla Fields won hands down. It was warm & inviting, not too strong or tarty – a very friendly first fragrance.

I recently tried this scent out again, & all my memories came flooding back. It is actually more complex than I remembered – creamy, rather than sweet. Not as cloyingly ‘straight’ vanilla as the Body Shop version others used (far too fake vanilla essence for me). It’s delicate & warm, with a slightly fuzzy floral wash. I never knew contained a hint of coconut, nor patchouli or cedar but it now makes sense – I love each of these elements alone.

My teenage-nose never appreciated the complex balance of this fragrance, but that’s what it is: very balanced. The dry-down is a very soft vanilla – perhaps that is what prompted a boy friend to tell me that I smelled like very expensive chocolate!

Like others, it is where my vanilla-obsession began & I actually feel tempted to pick up a bottle again, not for wear, but for trips down memory-lane! It is a bargain that smells more expensive than it actually is & renders the wearer ‘edible’. Great for teens.

Now, sadly, its sugar-intensity gives me headaches - it just isn't grounded or earthy enough for my changed tastes. For a depthier more rounded version try Casmir or for a softer more fruity one try Hanae Mori original.

I hate this unfortunately, which is weird because I love vanilla usually! I bought this on a whim thinking that it sounded lovely. Reading through the notes it still sounds lovely, but to my nose it just does not work.I guess I bought this before I knew how much I hated patchouli. In this scent that's all I can smell! overly sweetened patchouli. I think I would love this scent if the patchouli wasn't there. I don't think the name fits very well either, "vanilla fields" to me implies light, airy, pleasant and maybe even feminine. The musk and patchouli combined with the funeral home florals make a name like "Vanilla Hippie Commune" a little more fitting. hehe

One of the drugstore iterations of the nineties vanilla scents- the least among them, actually. I once made the mistake of saying I liked this (I got it confused with "Vanilla Musk", a much warmer vanilla scent), and ended up getting annual gifts of it from my well-meaning ex mother in law. I still keep a bottle of it stashed in my train case because I wouldn't be terribly upset if it got broken or lost, but I don't mind wearing it, either. The vanilla isn't very sweet, as such things go, and sort of floats beneath other more poorly-defined florals.

This use to be my signature scent.My sister use to wear this as well.We were in our Early early teens...Around 13 I believe.I have always loved its unique blend on florals & vanilla.I actually think this is the perfume that started me with my love for all vanilla scents.

Vanilla Fields is a very distinctive perfume...I can pick it out anywhere.It is a long lasting perfume as well.So all in all for a low price you get a good scent that lasts long & is original.Ill always have a place in my heart for Vanilla Fields

As much as I love vanilla, this just didn't do the trick for me. The vanilla was too obstructed by the flowers, patchouli and musk.

This has to be the perfume I remember getting the MOST compliments on from men and women alike. Even my grandmother wanted to know what I was wearing and asked me to buy some for her, too.

It's fresh, warm, sweet, and sexy. And it IS a comfort scent. Hmmm ... maybe I should think about re-adding it to my wardrobe?

Coty's Vanilla Fields is proof positive that a perfume does not need to be costly to be beautiful. This is one of my favorite drugstore scents and I would put it up against a department store vanilla-based fragrance like Boucheron Jaipur Saphir, Casmir, or Lolita Lempicka any day of the week.

Vanilla Fields is is much more than vanilla. It's actually a complex scent, full of fruits and flowers, with a beautiful woody dry-down. Sweet, but not cloying and sugary. The coconut and peach notes are very subtle and it doesn't smell tropical in the least.

This is a perfect daytime/office or comfort scent. Don't be afraid to try it! It's easy to find, very wearable and worth far more than it's going to cost you.
