Vanilla Grapefruit by Lavanila Laboratories

Frenzy

Bought the roll-on as a whim while out scouting for my new fall/winter fragrance for this year. Not a fragrance I would wear everyday but it is fun and since I don't wear the same perfume more than twice a week it fits nicely into the mix.

This is a deceptively simple scent that's quite pleasant. The lime cuts the sweetness of the grapefruit and vanilla and the bergamot is not overwhelming as it often can be. Sillage is decent though it's lasting power seems inconsistent. Most interesting comment when I wear it: people say I smell nice without realizing I'm wearing perfume.

This is divine! The lime and grapefruit add a bright, juicy zing to the madagascar vanilla that is at the core of all of LAVANILA's beautiful perfumes. The sillage is impressive, as Vanilla Grapefruit lasts nearly as long on my skin as Pure Vanilla. It can be tricky finding the "right" summer fragrance. I find that fragrances labeled for summertime are too sheer, like bland, scented water. I would wear this year 'round, but I must say that this is one of my must-have frags for the summer!

A lot of people compare this one to Pink Sugar and while I can see the similarities, Pink Sugar (which I own and like, but don't LOVE) stands out on the skin and smells very confectionary, while Vanilla Grapefruit is very sensual. Though it is sweet, on my skin, it smells more like an Orange Julius where Pink Sugar smells more like a frosted donut or other baked treat. I also feel that VG is something any woman of any age could wear, while I always end up feeling childish when I wear Pink Sugar.

If you like sweet, gourmand scents, this is worth a try. It's one of my absolute favorites and I considered it my HG for a long time. It's very natural-smelling. It begins with a blast of lime and grapefruit that immediately lift your mood. Those notes stick around for several minutes or so before calming down to create a very creamy, smoky and sweet aura, as they blend with the cedar, sandalwood and vanilla, keeping the whole arrangement just fresh enough with reminders of their tart presence.

I am a vanilla girl at heart and always end up falling for vanilla-based scents, but I think this is one that even people who don't always love vanilla can appreciate.

to me it smells like pink sugar by aquolina. I kind of like this one better.

LaVinila a company that I am definitely going to explore more.I ADORE vanilla scents & this one that I have only one vial sample of this & it has stolen my heart(for the day at least).
It is a very strong scent but strong in the sense that it lasts very long & it follows me wherever I go.It is not synthetic at all & it blends really well with the grapefruit & lime.I also smell the Heliotrope which to me adds a nice soft wisp of floral into the blend.
This combination is such a great comfort scent.
It is also very basic to me,It doesn't have much depth but sometimes you don't want much so that is fine by me.
It really is a nice scent & it has intrigued me enough to start hunting for more samples from LaVinila

I thought vanilla and grapefruit was a strange combination of notes to be found in a scent, but I was nicely surprised when I got a free sample of this fragrance. It's a lovely balanced mixture of grapefruit, heliotrope, bergamot, and vanilla.

The grapefruit and heliotrope was most prevalent in its opening notes and then softened into a yummy gourmand vanilla with a touch of bergamot. I was also surprised by its sillage - quite potent and long-lasting!

I think this would be a perfect spring/summer scent for a day outside going to the park, walking your dog, shopping, etc.

The best scent in the line. It smells like milk chocolate mixed with aromatic citrus from your garden. My DH goes absolutely crazy when I have this on, he sniffs the air like a dog. It's really an addicting scent if you love the mixture of high quality vanilla and grapefruit. Silage is amazing and it feels really good wearing it.
