    Very soft and subtle vanilla, I think not even doing the whole shower routine would make me smell like vanilla :c When smelling for example the 3-wick candle very up close you can smell the vanilla but in the cream you can barely smell it and in the body mist it’s very faint.

    It’s a scent I would describe as a bit peculiar because it doesn’t have much vanilla, I even sensed something smoky like incense but, after that smell fades it smells like vanilla but very low, it doesn’t resemble at all what I thought from those notes with coconut, cocoa and sugar, it smells like a vanilla cream with incense. Lasts 2 hours and low sillage

  3. It’s horrible period! I can’t find the sweet vanilla, nor the little dessert anywhere. Meh

    What I can say about this body mist is that it literally smells like the Serenito little dessert It’s delicious and makes you want to eat it Maybe the only thing I don’t like is that on my skin it feels too soft, but it’s so tasty

    I love this body mist. I like it more than Bare Vanilla because it’s not as cloying and overpowering. To me it’s like melted sugar but not sickly sweet and it’s even fresh in a certain way. I feel that if you’re a vanilla lover you won’t find it mind-blowing. It’s not as good for layering as Bare Vanilla, but it’s a sweet and fresh scent.

  6. I had a decant of Qissa Delicious by Lattafa and this smells almost identical, I don’t know where that little difference is but I wouldn’t wear the Lattafa one and I would wear this one. Very creamy, warm vanilla with a lot of cocoa. Reserved for those days when I’m craving something very sweet or for nights when going to sleep.

    It’s one of my favorite vanilla mists. Compared to the Victoria’s Secret one (Bare Vanilla), it doesn’t smell artificial like that one. It smells special, sweet. Unfortunately I don’t feel like it lasts long, but combined cream and Vaseline can work. Also, it’s really useful for layering with other longer-lasting perfumes. I think it’s a must-have mist, just like having a basic black polo in your closet.

  8. i love Warm Vanilla Sugar, it’s so cozy and every time I wear it I feel like it’s hugging me. to me it does smell like a kind of vanilla ice cream, it’s a sugary, warm and sweet but not cloying vanilla, creamy and soft, I’m obsessed 💞 the notes I mainly get are vanilla and sugar, a bit of sandalwood. it’s similar to Hypnotic Poison (I’m not saying they’re the same, Warm Vanilla Sugar is like 1/4 of what Hypnotic Poison is, but I like this fragrance more). I truly adore it

  9. I love gourmand vanilla. This one in particular I had to acquire a taste for. It’s a burnt sugar vanilla-like smell. It’s not really my taste. I’d say the smell is even a bit childish even though it’s a somewhat not-so-clean vanilla smell. That said, I wouldn’t buy it again. It doesn’t last at all, you blink and the fragrance is already gone, and I use it with the lotion. For me it’s not a “vanilla ice cream” smell

    It’s the body I have used since 2005, after bathing before going to sleep. A warm scent that envelops you and makes you want to climb in and get cozy and snuggle up in the sheets.

  11. Warm vanilla, love at first sniff, it’s a fragrance with a strong alcohol opening, but then when that opening fades a delicious gourmand vanilla aroma comes through, it has a very soft sillage so I suggest you buy the lotion to make the scent last a little longer. This body mist is very similar to choco musk only choco musk is stronger and I also get a vibe of sweet tooth by Sabrina Carpenter.

  12. This scent reminds me of a splash I was gifted for my 15th birthday, back around 2008, I don’t remember what brand it was or what it was called but as soon as I smelled this mist, it took me back to 2008. I loved it not only for sentimental reasons but because it really smells so delicious, like creamy vanilla, it’s a very pleasant and cozy scent, perfect for staying at home or putting it on before bed, since it’s quite subtle, even though it’s sweet, it’s not overwhelming at all.

    Yummy, a super powdery vanilla, you can sense the sweetness of sugar and a little coconut, delish. That said, I find it a somewhat formal scent, I think I’d wear it for a dinner or a chill outing (in the afternoon). This bodymist is so tasty.

  14. I bought it looking for a coffee and honey scent, and well it’s very pleasant to smell, the alcohol note fades quickly on the skin, but honestly, I can barely perceive it after a while. Unlike Victoria’s Secret Coconut Passion, this fragrance, however good it smells, doesn’t have good sillage and I can’t detect it on myself. The scent is not sickly at all, it’s warm, sweet and feminine, not too sweet, it’s great, the only bad thing is that it disappears very very fast, to be able to smell it you have to bring your nose very close to wherever it was applied, including clothes.

  15. A smell of vanilla with burnt sugar, like freshly made waffles with vanilla ice cream, as if you had an exquisite freshly served dessert. Very yummy, a lot of people say it doesn’t last but I think it’s because it’s a smell you get used to easily and you stop perceiving it but it is present all day

  16. I LOVE IT, IT’S MY FAVORITE FRAGRANCE. It smells like vanilla with cream without being cloying like VS Bare Vanilla. It’s like a hug and it’s elegant. If I could, I’d smell this scent all the time.

    It’s a real delight, I feel like you smell like Christmas cookies, with a hint of cinnamon, I feel like a walking dessert with this body mist. I’m not into vanilla scents, but I loved this one.

    I really like it, on clothes it lasts for hours. Sometimes I think I’m not wearing it anymore but it’s there, it comes in waves.

  20. I have the 2022 version, I don’t consider it gourmand, but it’s a vanilla that smells like Play-Doh or plasticky, I like it, it’s a sweet floral scent, ideal for daily use. But if you’re looking to smell like dessert, this isn’t it. The Body Fantasy one smells similar at first and then smells more like dessert, if you’re not into gourmands it can be a good option.

  21. I love it, it’s a plasticky scent, it reminds me a lot of Hypnotic Poison, Narciso Poudrée, Poison Girl and especially Yummy Candy by Adopt, but kind of mixed with Olympéa, I really liked it especially because I’ll use products from this line to layer with other perfumes. In the drydown it also smells like Cloud but not because of its mysterious note, but the others, that same sweetness. The opening is super weak, like Cloud’s lol, must be the same vanilla… but the drydown, as happens with other fragrances, becomes super delicious and considerably strong, it lasts on the skin even if you wash your hands. I can define it as a sweet creamy plasticky vanilla (like a touch of Play-Doh smell or heading that way), ideal as a layering base with various perfumes in that line. Excellent product. The rice note is missing from the notes, it gives the plasticky touch as also happens in Kenzo Amour.

  22. It doesn’t last at all, but it smells delicious. It’s identical to Coco Vanille by Mancera

  23. This would be a pleasant fragrance suitable for daily use if it weren’t for the terrible alcohol smell when you spray it. I have the body mist in the mini version and I feel that the more I use it, the more I notice the alcohol smell, it’s super overwhelming and makes me not want to use it!

  24. It’s delightful!!! Warm with vanilla, coconut and a touch of spices. I don’t know why but I love it!

  25. Freshly applied I didn’t like it, it has an alcohol opening and it seemed “cheap” to me, similar to other vanilla colognes you can get for less than half the price at the supermarket or pharmacy. After a few minutes, it started to win me over because it’s a vanilla I would classify as fresh. Yes, it’s sweet, but it’s not cloying or too intense, it’s a nice pick for daily use or to relax

  26. Girls and guys, these BBW body mists are so much better than perfume, they last you beyond 6 hrs, this one smells just like its name, sweet creamy and despite being so sweet 🍭 it doesn’t suffocate you or feel sickly, people notice it on you even wearing a mask 😷 the other day a lady at Walmart was telling me how rich and sweet it smelled and when I told her it was a body mist she couldn’t believe that being a body mist it could smell so overpowering
