Vanilla Perfume Oil (for women)

missk

I wasn't really interested in perfumes when the original formula was on the shelves, so I'm doing a review based on the reformulated version.

This is a rather complex fragrance for something that should only be vanilla and not much else. The Body Shop would learn a lot if they observed the ways in which Demeter compose their scents. Simplicity is often more.

I do happen to like the warmth and creaminess of the vanilla in this fragrance. Wearing this is quite comforting and cozy. However, there is a slight fruitiness that comes and goes at random intervals which puts me right off. Although the citrus notes are quite faint, they still have a strong presence next to the vanilla.

I would describe and class this scent as a gourmand seeming that it's rather foody and sweet. It reminds me a little of vanilla icecream, but in my opinion this is not appealing to my nose.

Perhaps if you layer this scent with a nice and delicate floral fragrance, it could smell passable, however I won't be buying this perfume oil, even at its inexpensive price, to try this.

I used to have it. Too sweet & strong that a friend told me I smell like pudding.

Never ever again.

I got my bottle about 3 years ago...it's still full...this stuff is wayyy too strong and cloying...so a little goes a long way!! head-ache inducing! I honestly have no idea if my oil is the old version or the new version...I barely use it...I way prefer the EDT version of vanilla vanille...it's safer ie. not as strong/cloying...anyways, it's not the best vanilla scent out there, but it's actually pretty good considering the cheapo price!!

Bought it in an impulsive moment, and it was a mistake. Pleasant, but too generic.

I'm disapointed it's changed. When did it change? I loved this oil perfume.

I used to wear TBS Vanilla Oil a few years ago. I decided to buy another bottle recently & luckily smelt it before purchase. To my surprise it did not smell the same anymore! The Sales Assistant told me that they changed the formula a couple of years ago.

It used to be a delicious foody "pure" Vanilla. It now has floral notes, which is bizarre for a "Vanilla Oil".

I am extremely disappointed that they would ruin such a unique oil. I now will never buy this again.

I hear it's going to be discontinued - is it because they changed it? I think so!
