Vanillary Lush for women

Is its scent comparable to LUSH's "Silky Underwear" powder?

This is not a pure vanilla scent, much to my amazement. With a name like this you expect a hit of pure, sweet vanilla. But the tonka bean and the jasmine add an interesting depth to the smell.

On my skin the scent turns warm, really warm. More like a vanilla that is fresh out of the oven. The scent is perfect for layering, adding a sweetness to another scent.

I own the solid perfume which adds versatility to the scent. It can be mixed with a spray for layers, it can be worn on the pulse points for a seductive sweet scent radiating with your pulse. Or it can be melted between the fingers and ran through the tips of your hair, enveloping you in a blanket of vanilla sweetness as your hair moves throughout the day.

One of my favorites. And so far, all my friends who smelled it loved it as well.

This is really what I call a very interesting scent. Perfume with rapid and surprising. The output makes you think about quitting but quickly the second face of this compound presents a pleasant feel and smell of coconut. After that step, comes in vanilla, beautiful and different, strong and charming. I like!

A new favorite!!! Vanilla powdery sweetness!

- Probably the most intense and longest lasting Vanilla scent I've ever smelled!

- I have to agree that in the beginning it does smell a little weird!

- Just let it dry down and get used to the 'natural' and non artificial vanilla scent.

- Every single time I'm wearing this, there are people asking me what perfume I'm wearing.

- A absolute MUST for every Vanilla Lover! Just give it the time to get used to this special and forever-lasting scent.

this sadly did not do the trick for me . So sharp on the jasmin note . he mix jasmin and vanilla does not work well on my skin in this perfume ,
i hoped the jamin would be subtle and just linger in the back , but it sticks out very much ..
this i had to scrubb off ..
so sad about it . so now i have a bottle for swapp in this one .. well well , somebody else will enjoy it for shure ..

I saw a solid perfume, probably named "vanillary" in lush shop. are they the same??

I have an imitation of this that I simply adore. I would actually buy the real and true Lush Vanillary if I could,because I love Lush. They love so much animals and the earth,as do I. Alas,Lush is not a perfume brand that I can afford.

My imitation is GORGEOUS,thick,creamy vanilla,with tinges of smoke,jasmine,tasty,warm essence,and beautiful vanilla sweetness. The thing I love about this scent also,is that it is thick,yet has an airy vanilla wind that twirls around my head.

I also have a vegan imitation of Hypnose,and I feel that Vanillary and Hypnose are sister scents. They both have a unique vanilla/jasmine,thick yet airy quality.

I do feel too that Lolita Lempicka original (blue apple shaped bottle) and Hypnose are sisters,but that is a topic for the Hypnose section.

I love Vanillary... how to put it? Very "airy" vanilla. As if there was a breeze around you swirling with vanilla.

Hey I'm a dude and this is great for pairing with certain mens colognes. I found when I do a spritz of Vanillary with Egoiste Platinum or Varvatos Vintage it really mixes well and gives it a kick. Girls and guys alike enjoy it. People really like to get close to you.

Unusual, special, very unique composition of vanilla. This essence is for those who do not like sweet vanilla scents.

Pleasant vanilla aroma opens with a touch of jasmine and clearly detectable coconut note. Warm, strange fusion is this but it's very comforting and somehow relaxing smell.Not sickly sweet as you think at the first time. It's really amazing, warm, calming composition. The tonka gives a deeper tone to this amazing fragrance.It's just smell like when the sun warms my skin!:)

This scent will take you to a tropical beach on a cold winter day, you'll feel the touch of the tropical sun, the warm of the white sand, the breeze of the hot air....Just relax and enjoy the vacation!:)

The awful jasmine takes over all the vanilla in this perfume.

It should be called "Flowery" instead of "Vanillary".

VERY disappointed.

This is a vanilla, but it's a very florally, jasmine mix. To me, this scent screams young and sweet-hearted. It's a very delicate, unique vanilla flavor that evolves throughout the day. This will not be my signature scent any time soon, but I enjoy having this as part of my collection.

I you're looking for a really sweet vanilla scent, this is NOT it. Vanillary is anything BUT sweet. In fact, I would seriously consider grouping this into an oriental floral because the name is so misleading. Now that I've mentioned that, I still think Vanillary is worth a sniff because its very different, it actually smells quite earthy and dark... I personally like it... do I wear it often? No, but every once in a while I'll spray some on if I'm feeling a smokey jasmine scent that has just a hint of vanilla extract...

This perfume is lovely for the cooler months, but a word of caution- use one spray only, and apply half an hour before leaving the house! The initial scent is so strong it actually tickles my nose- something like burnt wood or ammonia. But after that, it becomes this warm, soft, feminine coccoon that's just a little bit on the naughty side, in my opinion.

Very very strong vanilla scent with a hint of something that I don't like much - maybe jasmin? On my skin this scent was a no-no , although I like vanilla.

Pure Vanilla by Lavanila is better. I think the jasmine is just a little too prominent in this one.

Very grown up Vanilla-scent. Best scent ever in my opinion :)

Despite of the great number of vanilla scents we can find nowadays, this one is so unique that it may really seem a little weird at first sniff. There are no fruits at all, and it´s not sugary either. It´s a vanilla scent made to be smelled, not "eaten", and I think that´s what makes it so attractive. Everybody asks me which is that scent when I´m wearing it! As there are no more Lush shops here in Brazil since Vanillary was launched, it has became quite exclusive and I must say I do enjoy a lot beeing recognized by it´s great sillage.
It´s a really unforgetable perfume: You´ll be noticed wearing it and remembered by whoever feels it anywhere later.
It lasts eternally!
I hope it won´t be discontinued like Ginger and many other Lush fragrances (I just can´t understand why they always stop making their best products). This is one of the the best vanilla scents I´ve tried. One of my top favorites.

I've been trying to find some lovely vanilla scent for some time and I eventually tried this one.
It's kind of pleasant but a mixture of vanilla and jasmine just smelled like pure coconut on me((
What I like about Vanillary is that it's not VERY sweet or too warm, so acceptable for summer evenings as opposed to The Body Shop Vanilla. Vanillary is creamy and powdery, it reminds me of coconut biscuits. Moreover, not too strong but long-lasting. I like it in general but, maybe, it doesn't suit me. I don't want to smell like my grandmother after baking. I prefer fruity vanilla fragrances instead.

Sorry for my imperfect English)

A little bit headaching for me, too sweet, not has natural as I thought it would be...
I tryed the solid perfume and it has a good lasting power but the scent is not my thing, probably good for candy vanillas, I was looking for something more earthy and dry.

Sillage: Close to the skin
Longevity: Good
Personality: A 12 year old girl with long blond hair in a cupcake shop.

4/10

Also just want to add that the vanilla deelite lotion does not have this problem, nor does the dusting powder. The massage bar, however, is not nice.

I can't wear this fragrance all the time, and it took me a VERY long time to like it.... It smells like vanilla, dessicated coconut, and....cat pee. But when you get used to the cat pee smell, you start to realise its something else, and its wearable, and you don't notice it so much. However, thats not to say that somebody else won't smell the cat pee essence on you... Not a fragrance I would wear around other people!

Vanillary is an odd sort of vanilla scent, I do agree and it definitely the sort of fragrance where most people would either love or loathe it. I really do like it but not as a daytime scent. Instead it is a part of my night-time ritual, a rub down with the vanilla massage bar, sprinkled all over with the powder then spritz on the perfume and climb into bed to float away on vanilla scented clouds of bliss. Oh, and my hubby like it too ;)

I really do love Lush, but I find this to be very strong, very sweet and it gives me a bit of a headache. However, the dusting powder is absolutely gorgeous and compliments lots of other scents.

Vanilla for grown ups who likes vanilla a lot!

I like this take on vanilla, with its smokey overtones. I think the solid version is very good and also cheap. A nice 'winter warmer' which is better than many over-sweet fake vanilla scents.

I have mixed feelings on this one. I recently got the new edition of the solid & I've been using a little in combination with Vanilla Dee-lite moisturiser.

When Vanillary settles down, it's really quite nice, but it has this prominent ammonia/urine-like note on application! After smelling some of their other products, I'm certain it's the jasmine. It's a shame, because otherwise it's really delicious smelling - a sort of caramelised, warm, rounded smell that lasts a long time.

The Gorilla noses must really like jasmine, as it seems to appear in every one of their perfumes I've tried, & they always come out sharp and odd-smelling. It might just be my skin, but I'm keeping away & going for more conventional, luxe-type perfumes.

Bleh! I can`t stand vanilla or coconut as perfumes, nice to eat but not wear. I really do not like this, it reminds me of the 90s when there were alot of vanilla scents around.

I strongly get coconut off this too.
However, I think I might have been labouring under a false idea of what vanilla smells like (ice-cream, cheap vanilla candles) and this is what it actually does smell like!
The reason I say this is that I recently ordered some vanilla essential oil from a really good oil supplier. I sent it back because to me it smelled like burned plastic and coconuts. The guy got back to me and said he'd sniffed it and said it was fine, the best grade of vanilla essential oil you can get.
So... that being the case, I'd say Vanillary has a load of pure vanilla oil in it.
I find this perfume wearable but not completely 'me'.
I'm attracted to vanilla for the supposed therapeutic qualities so when I've got no pure oil, I might persevere with wearing this for that reason.

Usually I love vanilla perfume but this one it's to harsh for me I prefer more Body Shop Vanilla.

I bought a small tester bottle of this for 1.50 euro at Lush recently. It is difficult to accurately sense how a fragrance works with one's life by only going in for an occasional spritz at the store. Instead one must instead try it out over a few days to see how it works. For me, this works.

The vanilla is sharp but clean despite what I sense is a powdery smoke note. Or maybe I am just being reminded of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille? This is not a synthetic warm vanilla like The Body Shop has. This is very close to the real deal one uses for baking. Yes, baking and not vanilla pods. Like I said there is a sharpness there that I think is from the clean, almost sterile, composition of this scent. Having said all that, I like it very much and am looking for a tobacco perfume to mix with this!

LUSH has some great vanilla smelling products; I love their vanilla fountain and vanilla in the mist soap. That being said, this is not one of them. A HUGE disappointment for me since I ordered this off of the misleading caption from their website that said that this was suppose to be a replica of their vanilla scent in a perfume form. I'm pretty shocked at how completely UN-vanilla this perfume is. You know that cheap burnt sugar/caramel and coconut smell that companies try to pass off as "vanilla?" Well, here it is in a concentrated form. True vanilla lovers, do yourself a favor and skip this.

I just LOOOOVE ITTTTT! I think it's the best Lush perfume, and I've tested almost all of them lately.

I smell strong vanilla (like vanilla essence, just better) and smoke from burnt aromatic woods, might as well be incense sticks that smell like burnt sandalwood.

It's so great, makes me feel so relaxed, like walking thru forrest in a sunny afternoon.

All vanilla lovers should try this, it's surprisingly AMAZING, better than than Chopard'd Casmir, in my opinion.

It's kinda expensive for 30 ml, but it's worth it, i'm 100% postive I'll get another one after I'll finish this.

A bit of a disappointment for me, I admit. I like vanilla and tonka beans, and I liked the smell of the shimmery glitter bug or whatever Lush calls it. But Vanillary is a bit too strong, too loud, too harsh for me.

I think Honey I washed the Kids is a much better balanced yummy scent. I think most "edible" scents have a little problem because if leave it as it is, you make people think they can add it to their cakes or puddings, but if you tamper too much with it, it smells rotten or "gone off". So edible scents walk a very fine line. In my opinion, Vanillary is too much of a good thing, and too little at the same time.

I very small doses and only in my hair, it smells okay. On my skin, not so much... Pity.

It's difficult to define - sweet and woody, it changes a lot during a day. I believe it is suitable for cold days or nights.

I sent off for the solid perfume as I am allergic to 'wet' perfume! I was so excited when it arrived. I opened the tin, sniffed it and thought at first sniff it was rancid. I applied some of it and was disappointed as the reviews I read on Lush forum made it sound as if this was a nice sweet vanilla fragrance. It was awful. Smelt like burnt offerings of some description. I was still convinced it was off so had to make a long trip to a Lush store just to see if it was my nose being funny. If our local Lush store had been open I could have smelt it first - but as it wasn't and our next nearest store was 30 miles away - I decided to order it online. Anyway the pot in the store did smell different, a bit sweeter. But I traded it back in for the Olive Branch. This is different and not unpleasant, but still not my cup of tea.

I have this in the little pot and in the edp version too. I mostly smell in this: 1. : fresh but harsh white flowers /á la pleasures intense, pure poison, crystal noir, this spicy and strong kind of white flowers, not really jasmine-y, rather a spicy tuberose-gardenia-note, which later transforms in milky-minty (I always smell a minty sting in the sweetness of white flowers, I don't think that they are dirty, I think, that those notes smell rather extremely clean and soapy and cool, next to their sweetness) creaminess -which is not really edible but luscious-/, 2. : something like how a kitchen of an old granny would smell, after she made some traditional pastries for her family. This smells like the late summer/ early autumn. And smells like the timeless tropical heat, too. Vanillary is not for the faint of heart, in some circumstances it could develop itself in a masculine, smoky, mediterranean, "hairy-sweaty" harshness instead of a yummy inedible, clean-minty-sweet-tropical creaminess. Great if used with caution, and if the weather is warm, but the wind blows gently. This is ideal for summer evenings and warmer autumn days. For me, it fails when it rains, or if I am nervous, or I have any other emotional problems. But when I feel alright, this is tropical vacation with grannys pastries in a pot/bottle.

Gotta love Lush!

My first experience with Vanillary was through the massage bar, so in theory i knew what it was supposed to smell like when i finally bought the perfume. I had also read reviews that said you needed to give it time, though none of this prepared me for what happened.

The first spray was like burning chemicals with something sweet at the very bottom. I couldn't believe how bad it was, it was unreal >_< But I had faith in my wonderful lush, and sure enough it cleared into a beautiful soft vanilla pudding with a hint of cocoa and something floral. A very yummy moist scent and the only true gourmand I own, in my opinion.

Vanillary fills a hole in my perfume collection and I'm quite enamored with it. But good god the first few seconds after spraying it are rancid! I don't even know what thats about...maybe something between the alcohol and all the natural oils in it, who knows. I can totally understand not being able to make it past that but i encourage everyone to try. I hope Lush figures out whats going on in the beginning there because this could be adored.

Sorry Lush, I'm a huge fan of ballistics, dream cream, lip balms, gels, shampoos, body oils... I think Lush ingredients and their effect on my skin are fabulous, but I cannot stand the perfumes. I love vanilla and jasmine, a bit of it, in middle and base notes but this is nauseating and clings to your skin unless until you rub it off with a strong soap. Not for me at all.

I purchased this one while in Kelowna, BC
Since then, everytime i wear it, it takes me back to the mountains and that amazing place.
I'm a huge fan of this perfume. It's almost like a dirty vanilla.
On me, I find it's a sweet vanilla/musky fragrance, almost like an over-ripe fruit mixed with a bourbon vanilla. It lasts all day thankfully, it's brilliant.

Vanillary is one of Simon Constantine's perfumes. I'd smelled it in Vanilla Fountain Bath Ballistic so knew what I was expecting. For the first 20 minutes it smells completely different from the rest of the day (and yes, it lasts for the rest of the day). To be honest, at the start it was dreadful. On me, it smelled like an industrial toilet cleaner, but then gradually it settled down to a deliciously sweet pudding, gentle, soft, welcoming. I know for a fact (because I've worked there since 1996) that the quality of Lush's fragrance is second to none. If anyone else was making this stuff it would be in the hundreds of pounds. I keep begging them to make them as EDTs as the EDPs are way too strong for me. What I recommend is that you put it on 20 minutes before you leave the house, and don't let your first sniff put you off.

Ok, I'm not the only one here. I smelled Vanillary with some interest and I have been hit by an awful rotten marshmallow smell. It becomes softer as time goes one, but only to become marshmallow with vanilla flavour and candy floss. It's extremely strong and longlasting! It clings to fabric like nothing. Oh, well, maybe like other Lush's fragrances.

I adore vanilla so I sprayed it on my wrist without sniffing it out of the bottle first. What a disturbing scent!!! I had to wash it off as soon as I got home. Strong, nauseating... I expected something delicious and comforting from a vanilla scent but this one is totally the opposite!
