Vanilla by The Body Shop

CUPCAKEDOLL

On me, this smells like a warm vanilla mixed with Tiare Flowers. Very tropical and exotic, this is one of the best vanilla fragrances I´ve ever tried. I love this scent, and the lasting power is great!

The bottle is so cute, and I think the price is so reasonable if we think about own this wonderful vanilla scent.

Totally recommended!

I still have mine from 3-4 years ago...On my skin, it's a toasty vanilla with brown sugar and melted butter...reminds me of fresh, hot, and heavily-buttered caramel popcorn...yummy indeed. And no this is not a playful vanilla 'for teens' (it will look out of place on an innocent looking young lady), it is a full-bodied one for womanly women with an insatiable sweet tooth be they 18 or 38, however, I don't think this is very popular with women 30 and over (unless they are vanilla-gourmand lovers) because it lacks a certain sophistication...very sensuous and flirtatious...again I'll say that it's not the light or cutesy kind of vanilla scent.

I don't find this to be a pure/simple vanilla, neither is this a fruity/floral vanilla to my nose...there is a very prominent brown sugar/caramel note that mixes deliciously with the vanilla...it's sensuous, sweet, warm, and very buttery...that's the best way I can describe it in brief. This is a pure gourmand...I never thought I could love a gourmand since I can't stand TM's Angel or most of the higher end and better known gourmands...As it dries down, it gets slightly less buttery and a little more powdery, but still I don't detect any fruits or flowers.

I like the perfume oil too, it's much stronger, a little more elegant and lasts forever on the skin so I only use a couple drops or else it will give everyone around me a headache. While the EDT is a brown-sugar/vanilla gourmand to my nose (which I prefer), the perfume oil has peachy-floral top notes upon application, it's temporary though, as it later morphs into a warm, powdery vanilla, but unfortunately without the 'brown sugar/caramel' note in it like in the EDT.

Mine is probably the old version...they say it's been reformulated...I haven't tried out the later version...I'm going to be real pissed off if they changed it because this is actually the only gourmand scent I've ever come across that I can actually wear without getting a headache!! >:(

my mother gave it to me as a gift. I expect more in this perfume. But oh well, its not a nice vanilla perfume. I hate the dry down. It smell like a vanilla candle with incense and religious statues... Wait, I get it! It smells like church! :P

I can't understand what the people find so amazing in it? And i couldn't detect any fruit in, only vanilla, vanilla, vanilla and it gives me hunger with its PASTRY-LİKE scent...
Plus that,i give right to dolita, vanilla should be combine with anything, it is very "NUDE" in this perfume...

Lasts quite well. I combine it floral light fragrances like Kate Moss or SJP's Lovely to give it a deeper base. Bit too sweet for me to wear alone.

To be honest, much as I really like The Body Shop fragrances, I think this one is one of worst. It is pleasant, is it sweet, it is nice, it wont hurt your nostrils, but at the same time it lacks any distinctive features.
I have tried it on many times, and still can't remember a single thing about it.

dolita

this one is very very very bad it's very simple and pure without any adds for that i hate it

Don't buy TBS Vanilla EDT if you're after a pure Vanilla - it's now mixed with musk, and florals so it's not like it used to be. This one is quite incensey.

Allegra

One of the few vanilla scents around that smells pleasant and delicious without being too artificial, teeny, sweet and sugary. An adult woman can wear this too, it's not for teenagers only as many sheer vanilla fragrances tend to be. A good purchase I think.
