Bare Vanilla Victoria's Secret for women

beautiful warm sugary vanilla scent, the best fragrance mist for layering personally goes best with good girl or black opium

I layer all my perfumes with this. A timeless, sweet, boozy vanilla body mist. Even better paired with the matching body lotion. Has me smelling sugary for hours. Recommend if you like vanilla and need a cheap layering scent.

just such a classic not too sweet vanilla,everytime someone wears this it just smells so good

There is something about this scent that is so appealing. I have tried a multitude of vanilla perfumes and body mists, but this still remains my current favorite. It is definitely cozy, as most comments point out, and it doesn't have an overtly faux vanilla note despite the low price. It is not too sugary or plastic smelling, such as Warm Vanilla Sugar by Bath and Body Works. Not sickly, just a perfect, warm vanilla scent.

A Nice all rounder, if youre into vanilla scents then you'll like this, I tend to layer this with other perfumes to sweeten them up a bit, though on its own, on my skin, it isn't too sickly sweet thankfully. Good size bottle for a decent price, id say its a fairly safe buy if you like vanilla, longevity is just what you expect from these body mists but just moisturise and then overspray, then top up throughout the day.

I LOVE this perfume so so so much. It gives this warming vanilla and it smells so cozy. It is my favorite. At first it smells really funny but once it dries down it is so amazing.

I bought this spray solely due to me having the Vanilla Musk by Nemat International which is an oil that you can find at Ulta, and it smells JUST Like this. Layer your Vanilla Musk oil with this and you WILL get a longevity similar to an Eau De Parfum. You can even put EOS vanilla cashmere lotion before the oil if you want even more longevity. Thank me later because I've always loved this scent but never saw the point in buying it since it never lasts. But it's a true vanilla which I love so much! Better than Warm Vanilla Sugar IMO

It's the most true vanilla you can ever smell, not synthetic, no plastic smell, sometimes smells like vanilla extract ice cream or a dessert with vanilla, but I need to use a small amount because it is really sweet and can cause a headache! From all my perfumes , expensive or cheap, this spray gets my man's attention 😆 I love it, Bare Vanilla is much better than Vanilla Lace in my opinion

such a pretty basic vanilla if the longevity was better this would be heavenly

There's definitely some amber in this, I'm surprised to see no one mentioned it

This is my favorite evening post-shower fragrance. It's a huge bottle for so cheap, so I don't mind dousing myself it in for just bedtime. It's gentle enough that it doesn't overwhelm my partner in bed and when paired with warm sheets straight out the dryer or my fluffy robe, feels like I'm on a cozy vanilla cloud. During the day and going out I prefer my more complex scents, but when I'm relaxing at home, this is my go to. A truly comforting vanilla scent that sits close to the skin and lasts incredibly well, especially considering it's a body mist.

To me it smells like a perfume version of eating vanilla frosting (the white sickly sweet one that lasts ages on the shelf doesn't need refrigerating) straight out of the tub or the marshmallows with sugar on I use the glittery bare vanilla lotion and body mist only on my legs and spray on clothes as any nearer my nose I'll get headache and feel sick it lasts ages so I wear it when I go out and want to smell obnoxiously sweet, it's definitely not a childish vanilla extract scent more age 15+ kind of secondary school pe changing rooms vibes the same as pure seduction and love spell can be worn year round just a little bit less in a heatwave ❤️🔥🍦🧁🌤️😽✨

My opinion: it smells gross on me, caramel pop corn like, warm and dirty. Sits close to your skin.

What my partner thinks: it smells nice and he enjoys it! He said he does not smell what I smell at all and that I have a weird sense of smell lol

My daughter thinks: "you smell like a dessert"

I still find it funny how everyone smell fragrances differently, aside from one's "skin chemistry" .

I was hoping for a cozy, creamy, sweet vanilla explosion after reading the reviews, but unfortunately it dries down very soapy on my skin. Almost like bath salts or those salt scrubs from Rituals.

Not my thing :’)

Bare Vanilla is delicious and mouth-watering! It's the perfect vanilla fragrance. I think this is a safe body mist to wear on a first date!

Smells so danggg good!!! Delicious

A must-have for gourmand lovers. Great for layering or going solo. Longevity pretty damn good for a body spray. I love this.

this is so bad omg. it smells like yogurt?? but in a bad way and it’s so disgustingly sweet, even the whole room will stink up.

this to me smells like a fresh, sweet vanilla. it doesn’t smell like a sweet vanilla cupcake but it smells more like a vanilla body wash or something. it’s clean and light! i like it but it’s just not the sickly sweet type of vanilla that i like, but it is a lovely, really loveable smell.

True Vanilla! Cannot get enough. :-D

Just bought it, a very nice sweet smell😊 I can smell the Cashmere also :D I smelled it on someone else and wanted to have it lol. Perfect for winter, but not for every day cause it can get a bit nauseous I guess. Anyway, very nice sweet and a bit sophisticated and also seductive smell! <3

im scared to finish this because its not affordable in my country lol i love it

This is one of my favorite body mists. Just a nice, Sweet Vanilla over Musky Cashmeran. Smells a bit like Coty Vanilla Musk Cologne. For a mist, The longevity and projection aren’t bad at all. Good for layering and smells great on its own too.

A basic sweet, musky vanilla. It's nice, but too simple and weak to work as a standalone scent, unless you want it to be really subtle. However, I agree that it's great for layering. It's simple enough to not clash with most scents and adds this creamy vanilla base.

Not my favorite makes me feel ill after a while but it is not bad either.
The lotion is lovely thoo

Not my favorite, doesn’t smell too bougie or special, but it definitely gets the job done.
Whenever I wear it, I am being told that I smell sweet, like a dessert. My mom told me it smells like condensed milk, and now I can’t unsee it 😝
On those days I want to smell yummy, this is my go to!

its too sweet and makes my head hurt after 30 mins. smells like a secondary school bathroom there's nothing special about this. it smells like vanilla yes but its overpowered by the smell of alcohol, not worth it.

Reading all the other reviews of this fragrance and seeing people hail it as a warm creamy garmond that smells like cookies and I'm over here like what ? When I first got this perfume I got it on a blind buy due to tik tok hype and though I wasn't disappointed I also wasn't as impressed as I was hoping to be mainly due to the strong amber notes that this perfume has they should rename this Bare Amber instead of Bare vanilla because for the first 20 minutes of it being on my hand I could not smell anything it just smells strongly of Amber, it felt like a diluted Amber Romance not to mention that when I first sprayed it my face screwed up because it literally smelled like alcohol to me it smelled like pure gin. It was after it dried down probably about an hour later that I then started to get those vanilla notes that seem to be driving everybody but me crazy [ in defence of this perfume though I will say that it is listed as an amber vanilla] I think if you like a more ambery muskie vanilla then this is the perfume for you but if you're a sweet creamy gourmand lover like me then I would stear clear.

A basic vanilla smell but has some edge I won't lie... Powdery and well rounded on my skin its very wonderful

i only have the lotion because i don’t like body sprays but it smells so heavenly omg. the scent lasts all day. i smell toasted marshmallows and caramelized sugar even though it’s not in the notes

I sprayed this on my wrist. I left the VS store. Before I know it, I've walked straight back in and purchased a bottle of this cosy vanilla gorgeousness.

Bare Vanilla. This is a sweet simple intro to gourmands for a VS fan. The scent starts off with the vanilla on top. Smells like a vanilla cake. There is what I detect as cinnamon so it's softly spicy. It's also warm and does not come off as fresh. Also smells like brown sugar. If you like these notes vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, these are the big notes in this fragrance. It dries down to a simple warm musk. Fragrantica says it has a note of cashmeran but it is really musk. The fragrance people at Victoria's Secret are not going to say 'musk' and expect it sell to a demographic and market of young girls who wear VS perfumes and are still in high school. Musk would scare them and they would think it's mature. This is mature but in a very simple way. I can see women in their 30's and even 40's wearing this scent because like the name suggests it's just really vanilla which is ageless. There is also a powdery dry down when it is most dry its like vanilla scented powder. Powder is associated with mature women scents. It's a delicious vanilla with spice and musk. There is also a little hint of amber. There is something also that from my experiences with various different fragrances, that smells like soft suede or leather. It's the musk (i.e. cashmeran). Lasts longer than I thought was possible for a VS fragrance. Can be smelled by others if you spray liberally and or even a little bit so projection and sillage is terrific. Great for wearing in the fall and winter with warm clothes, scarves, coats, sweaters, turtlenecks, leggings, leather, boots, winter apparel. Casual but also very good for a dressy night time evening when you don't have the $$ for something more high end. It is definitely an evening fragrance. It is beautiful and light. Vanilla at it's best in the realm of Victoria's Secret.

literally is just vanilla, so...? vanilla (not vanilla milkshake) is the same and it is £5.00 and this is £20.00

A lovely, sweet, warm, and cozy vanilla! A very comfy fragrance! Definitely a gourmand vanilla! I love the lotion for layering with Bare Vanilla as well as other vanilla gourmand fragrances!

One of my favorite VS body mists along with Coconut Passion, Vanilla Lace, Glitter Hustle, Bare Vanilla Frosted, Sunrise Waves, Autumn Shores, and Amber Romance!

I typically get great longevity with fragrances (even body mists!) and Bare Vanilla is no exception, it lasts all day on me! The projection is good too, it radiates at least an arm’s length out from me!

This scent is everything. It smells like freshly baked cookies. I truly adore this body spray. This is the only scent my husband compliments me on. It drives him crazy when I wear it. This is a true men magnet. I love to use this as a base to other perfumes as well. Truly a masterpiece. I will always have this in my collection.

@uhohstinky, you are the only husband in the whole world who pays enough attention to his wife’s frags to know them all by name, aww 🥲.

A very affordable vanilla gourmand fragrance. The wife likes it and wears it often.

This was my first perfume ever. Its not bad at all but not amazing. When u first spray it it smells pretty chemical but then you get that very warm and sweet vanilla scent that kinda overpowers the chemical scent but not enough, so it ends up smelling kinda cheap. I just think its really iconic so i cant hate it, i actually used to wear this everyday until i got better perfumes that r just.. better ?

i recommend tho bc its a pretty solid perfume for teens especially cause its cheapp

beautiful sweet scent. the best true vanilla smell ever

This is a soft, pretty vanilla. Smells a little bit like Eilish to my nose. I like it! It’s definitely nice. However, this cannot, and will not ever, compare to vanilla lace. That will always be the #1 OG vanilla body spray, forever in my heart. However, I will not let that unfair comparison sour my opinion of this. This is also really nice in its own right. I do not get the comparison to Vanilla 28, I don’t think this fragrance is deep enough to warrant it. But it is a really nice and easy fall reach for during the day. Would also be perfect for laying if you want to add a little sweetness. Very, very yummy.

This perfume smells like a warm and cozy hug.

Beautiful sophisticated but also sexy vanilla, perfect for layering. (I layer it with Burberry Goddess at the moment and the combination is amazing).

I wish there was a perfume formula and not just a body mist...

Good girl and bare vanilla is the ultimate combo for me at the moment, so sophisticated and sweet! I feel like this body spray is perfect for layering but I just wish VS would make this as a perfume!!

i LOVE this fragrance. i’m a vanilla girl through and through, will rebuy this a million times over. it’s such a perfect layering mist.

This is my all time favourite go to vanilla. Nothing beats it. Although quite basic the sweetness of the vanilla mixed with the cashmere is perfect like a warm delicious hug. My go to for bed time or just a freshen up before or after work. The perfect scent and I can imagine this layering very well with a lot of other fragrances too. This is the OG for a reason!

Really really caramel and sweet, so much so it is the headache inducing type (not saying you will get a headache but it's that genre of incredibly strong and sweet perfume). Very, very nice though. I was obsessed for a couple weeks but it's so strong I think I overdid it and I haven't worn it since. But it is a very pretty, feminine scent. I do recommend.

I definitely smell a resemblance to Vanilla Bean Noel by B&BW, however Bare Vanilla is a lot more bearable.. less suffocating. I'm not keen on gourmand body sprays so I don't love her, but I can appreciate the warm, cozy baked vanilla vibe. If it were a little less sweet I would love it. Anyways I needed something to replace my almost empty Snowflakes and Cashmere that I spray on my bedsheets and this is like that but more interesting..

I love this! One of my favorite vanilla scents. It doesn't smell like straight up vanilla due to the cashmere but it still smells amazing! I wish they had it as a EDP because honestly the body Mist does NOT last at all :(( i got it in a 4 piece set for christmas from my husband and its my second fav in the bundle

I blind bought this expecting a pure vanilla, but I don't like this smell. To me it smells like vanilla mixed with baby products, like a nappy rash cream? I guess it's the cashmere? I don't know but it's not good

bodycology's whipped vanilla is absolutely a dupe for this, so of course i love it lmao. there is a slightly floral element to this fragrance that isn't in the notes that just makes the creamy vanilla a little bit fresher and lighter (fluffier?) while the cashmere makes it extra cozy <3 perfect for everyday or as a bedtime scent but unfortunately this mist is just as light as the bodycology mist! idk if i just tend to go noseblind to this scent or what, but i can barely smell it after like half an hour

If only Victoria Secret listened to me
Bring this in a perfume formula.....and you'll make so much money
....wipe all other vanilla out the field
......and make your customers super deliciously happy

This body mist has a warm creamy vanilla scent. You can smell the wood or cashmere scent it has some dimension and depth to it. It is not too overpowering but has some staying power which is nice. I had sprayed this at 5.45pm and it has a moderate projection and leaves some scent trail which lasts around 3-4 hours like every other body mist from Victoria Secret does.

Im not a big user of body sprays, but I saw Victoria’s Secret had a sale so I grabbed this and the lotion, since the reviews on Fragrantica were so good.

It’s quite nice, but It gives me a salty vanilla vibe, feels summery.

The scent of lotion lasts really long on me 6+ hours. ( but I also use body oils under my lotion)

UPDATE: I love this stuff, the scent is sexy and delicious, long lasting. lotion is great to layer with, probably wouldn’t buy the body spray again though

Not a gourmand vanilla, but a cashmere sweater almost woody and smoky kind of vanilla. If you’re not keen on gourmands but want a warm and cozy vanilla scent I think you’d like this. Quite a light scent so you have to spray quite a bit, but overall this is great. I find it very simple and pretty and comforting. It’s also great for layering with other fragrances.

I think you can honestly layer this with anything, like I always see people saying they love a perfume but they wished it had a vanilla note to make it perfect and same tbh so whenever I think that I just immediately get this out to fix that problem.
It’s the perfect mist to wear for any occasion and I mostly wear it when I don’t wanna think too hard because I know this always smells good.
It’s definitely comforting, perfect to wear to bed too, it also smells better the longer you have it, my current bottle is around a year old and oh lord does it smell phenomenal.
But yeah I just think that anyone who collects fragrances, especially vanilla lovers should always have this in their collection, it’s a must have!

Bare Vanilla is such a gorgeous, hypnotizing scent. It's not nauseating at all, which I find a lot of sweet vanilla fragrances to be. This is just the perfect body mist, I love spraying it on top of my skin after using a scented body cream and oh my god. Perfect.

Very classy, very cute. I love this body mist. A must-have for layering.

can someone who tried the Bare Vanilla Candied one explain how it smells? does it smell better than the original?

I am eagerly awaiting the Candied line to be added here - I love Bare Vanilla but I am also REALLY enjoying Bare Vanilla Candied at the moment.

she is the moment. a perfect everyday scent. not at all nausea inducing like most overly sweet vanilla scents. bound to get you compliments. hands down the BEST victoria secret body spray

I freaking love Bare vanilla, already used up 4 bottles and I have just bought 3 more. Literally SO GOOD. I wear this pretty much everyday, and I personally like to layer it over Sol De Janeiro’s bum bum cream and add some Kayali Vanilla 28 over top. AMAZING compliment getter

Such an addictive vanilla scent, I put it on and want to eat myself lol. Loses projection quite easily but my clothes smell like it for days and I can smell it on me the whole day if I get close. Love it.

I've been using this body spray for like 8 months and I'm on my 2nd bottle and it is running out lol.It is totally worth the hype and the only body spray that lasts on my skin from the moment i leave my house until I come back.It's a sweet vanilla scent perfect for vanilla lovers.I find the cashmere really noticeable at first but then it fades away and on the dry down it leaves the creamiest soft vanilla.If you like vanilla this is a safe blind buy.10/10

one of my favorite body sprays ever, it’s very sweet and simple. the performance is how you’d expect from a body spray, however i have gotten compliments from it when i overspray and it lasts a decent amount of time on clothes. if you like vanilla i’d highly recommend, especially for layering

I finally found one - a fragrance that got me a compliment from my boyfriend! I switch out my perfumes and fragrance mists every single day, and he never seems to notice. I bought this and sprayed it on myself for the first time today, and my boyfriend told me I smell good and asked me what it was. It's a keeper!

It really is a more straightforward vanilla, the gourmand is there, but it's not too heavy. I've found my new go to scent for the forseeable future!

this is what i wear before going to bed. its creamy vanilla warm comforting type of scent which i really love! 11/10 for a mist as i can still smell it when i wake up in the morning.

Love love love it! Agree with others about this not being a true creamy vanilla but that’s why I love it so much, the cashmere adds an extra depth and warmth to the scent. Forever will be 1 of my favourites

The fragrance that receives the most amount of compliments. It is delicious and warm. Absolutely adore it!

It smells so good, like cookies, and it DOES last a long time. HOWEVER, the projection kinda sucks. I can smell it on me the whole day and even the next day but others can't. I literally bathed in it and then proceeded to meet my friends a few minutes later. I asked her if she smelled anything but she said no.

I love this body mist so much <33 first when I smell it was on my friend in school, I thought she smelled like the ice vanilla from the cafeteria, so I asked if she drank it but she told me that it was this perfume, as a vanilla fragrance fan, I bought it shimmer ver and omg! It's smell like a cozy cake or baked goods! (Bakery is my desired fragrance) i<3it so much great price, great smell highly recommend! Smell like heaven omg🧁🍰

This is the mother of all vanillas. Smells incredible, works so well on my skin. And lasts for days on clothes. It definitely has amber I am 100% sure. I need someone to please give me the EDP version on this coz it’s amazing.

Nice simple vanilla, beautiful scent and it last very long, still notice it on my clothes even after a whole day, stronger than some edps out there. Not a gourmand scent in my opinion, leans more perfumy vanilla

Sometimes boring is best. This is one of the most basic vanilla scents ever, yet it’s easily one of my most complimented. Friends, my mom, my boyfriend, and my sister who hates fragrances all love this scent. It is like being wrapped up in a blanket on a cold/rainy day with a vanilla cookie. Absolutely light and delicious.

Meh. As a massive vanilla fan I would expect more of a true creamy vanilla with maybe a sexy, woody note but I mostly just get a balsamic amber. I much prefer Vanilla Lace which was like a French vanilla custard and musk. I think Bare Vanilla smells decent but there's just something about it that I don't quite love.

In my opinion, there's absolutely no resemblance to Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere or MAC Creme d' Nude (two fragrances I adore.) So I think where people are getting that idea from is the fact that Warm Cashmere is a vanilla cashmere scent and Bare Vanilla is supposed to be as well but the type of vanilla in them is way different from one another. Warm Cashmere is closer to a true vanilla and Bare Vanilla is more like an amber and vanilla bourbon.

Bodycology's Whipped Vanilla is more in-line with the type of vanilla that's in this except this has a stronger perfumey quality than that.

I mix this with warm vanilla sugar from bbw and it works great together. Also I layer it with vs wicked perfume. Smells heavenly. Perfect type of vanilla. Not too fake smelling.

I get so many compliments whenever I wear this. For a mist, the longevity is amazing! It will cling well to fabrics also. The scent is not very complex but it lives up to the name for sure. Will be using this a lot during the autumn season.

This is my favorite body mist ever! This is such a creamy sweet vanilla with that little hint of smokiness (but not too much, just enough to add depth and a bit of sexiness). Do not try to sniff it right after spraying, let it marinate for a minute first. One thing I noticed is that it always smells so much sweeter to the people around you. I usually spray this on before my class and just forget about it, but my seatmate NEVER FAILS to remind me that I smell like "salted caramel vanilla ice cream." She loves it because has a sweet tooth.

Many people compare this to BBW Warm Vanilla Sugar so I bought that too for comparison. Honestly, it is NOT A DUPE for this. Yes, they both have that vanilla note but I say that Warm Vanilla Sugar is a bit more powdery than Bare Vanilla. WVS is like vanilla baby powder while BV is a salted caramel vanilla. WVS just doesn't have that kinda 'saltiness' to it. While BV doesn't really last long, I can say that at least it lasts longer than WVS and projects about 20% times better. After 30 minutes, BV is just a skin scent while WVS is totally gone. It's sad that they both disappear under 45 minutes. If VS ever releases a Bare Vanilla Eau de Parfum version, BEST BELIEVE I will be the first to purchase.

Gets worse and worse day by day

This scent is confusing to me. It smells like vanilla and some form of oud or bourbon, I was expecting a sweeter light fluffy vanilla but the cashmere note kinda throws me off. I still really like it though.

It smells like warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven, yummy cake.
I wear it when I’m at home; this is the only fragrance that my husband has gone crazy about since we first met!
Actually he loves all of my fragrances and compliments my smell every single day, but something about this fragrance affects him differently and he adore it
It gives me a cozy vibe and lasts all day on my body and clothes. i love the smell every time I wear it. Btw, this is warm, matured vanilla, and it reminds me of Kayali Vanilla 28 but kayali smells more woody .

i don't know why but the smell in the bottle changes over time and becomes sweeter like a cheap cologne so don’t keep the bottle open for months without using it.

TLDR: To me this smells like an overly sweet caramel scent with something artificial about it. Not quite vanilla. Smells almost exactly like EOS Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, so I guess if you're into that you could layer it. Just wasn't what I was looking for. 😢

Now here's my much longer explanation:
I've been hunting for affordable dupes of Philosophy's Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere, which is the only "vanilla" fragrance I've found that doesn't smell artificial or cloying to me. The original Fresh Cream didn't work for me either— the realistic milk note pulled sour and overly powdery on my skin. I tried the EOS Vanilla Cashmere body lotion which others have called a dupe for Fresh Cream, but I found it to be a nauseating and overly saturated caramel scent rather than vanilla or cashmere. I had to really scrub it off too. So next on my list to try was the VS Bare Vanilla, which is supposed to have only 2 notes: vanilla and cashmere. I thought nothing could go wrong with such a simple profile. Unfortunately, this smells almost EXACTLY like the EOS lotion to me. If anything, the EOS lotion had a little more vanilla to it albeit artificial. I didn't experience the warm, sexy, pure vanilla vibes that others said this fragrance gave them. Instead I was slapped with that same sickly caramel note. Thankfully it washed off easy this time.
Maybe it's just my body chemistry being fickle with vanilla, but at the end of the day I was sorely disappointed by this fragrance. Not what I was looking for.

a gorgeously simple vanilla fragrance that is perfect for layering and well priced!

this perfume suddenly changed its smell on me today and i freaked out. i got this fragrance in autumn of last year and from what i remember, the vanilla doesn't smell in a sugary vanilla cupcake way, but in a way that is softer and less sweet. it's a comforting, warm scent perfect for the fall and winter days. however when i put it on my skin now, i get this weird, plasticy woody smell which i think is from the cashmere note and the vanilla is basically absent :( fragrances can change their smell depending on the weather though, so i think i just have to wait for the colder months again and then i'll re-sniff it (the smell of my amber romance perfume changed as well!)

I think it’s missing one note in the list.. and that is …. Amber !
This vanilla is not that cupcake-sugary-creamy and sometimes artificially smelling aroma like vanillin powder; it’s rather more mature, raw, down-to-earth and confident.
It’ll be great to layer with other vanilla-based fragrances especially if you want to tone them down.
Because it’s ambery and not that typically sweet at least to my nose, I recommend you try it before purchasing.
Anyway, it’s a nice layering scent in my collection, and as I have it in a shimmer mist version, I give it extra points.

I have the shimmer lotion of this scent and it’s lasts so long. I highly recommend it. When I wear it the scent stays all day with around a 4ft sillage range. Complimented on this scent a lot.

Does it smell like Warm Vanilla Sugar? No. Does it smell like Vanilla Bean Noel? No. Does it smell like Body Fantasies Signature Vanilla? No. Does it smell like Nemat Vanilla Musk? No. Does it smell like Eilish? No. Does it smell like Pacifica Island Vanilla? No. Does it smell like Mod Vanilla? No.

Is it a simple, but delicious vanilla in the same extended family? Yes. These are all cousin fragrances. They're all different enough to adopt if you're a vanilla hound (like myself), but if you like any of the above, you'll probably enjoy Bare Vanilla too. Cheap vanillas are one of the joys of my life, this fits right in 🤣🤍

This is quite linear, understandable and GOOD vanilla, especially for the price. What sets BV apart is the slightly toasted, sensual effect this has that isn't present in the others I listed. My daughter is wearing Beach Nights from B&BW today and I compared scents side by side...but the tone of either is unique, the two fragrances aren't redundant. Beach Nights is *smokey*, whilst I truly would describe this as 'toasted vanilla', on the verge of smoked, but not quite. My friend called it "smokey" and it's not as if it isn't (to my nose), but it isn't overkill, and this is a little...sexy, and not straight up campfire.

What's funny is that even without knowing beforehand, I'd guess that this was Victoria's Secret as opposed to Bath and Body Works or The Body Shop (etc.) because it's sexy, yet approachable. VS has their craft dialed it, and they absolutely produce stuff with those two elements active simultaneously. It's very on brand.

I asked my husband to smell my wrist and he says it smells good, and "like almonds", for whatever it's worth. He likes it though 😊 I don't really agree though, at least...not as far as I'm accustomed to. I own B&BW Almond Blossom and it isn't really like that either.

Bare Vanilla is unique, yet somehow familiar. A contradiction? Sure, but it's a good one, definitely worth testing and it's probably a safe blind buy for most people.

this is the mother of vanilla edts, it's straight up sweet-in your face vanilla. i will never understand the bbw comparisons, someone said BV is the older sister of warm vanilla sugar but i beg to differ, they aren't even related. bare vanilla is such a comforting scent you can wear it after a shower, on the beach, before u go to sleep, for a date and smell like vanilla cake. it's such an easy going sweet scent. BUT because it's so simple it can get boring so make sure to switch it up. nevertheless it's an affordable iconic staple, a compliment magnet and a good starting point if u want a gourmand collection

I use the spray for my bed to freshen it up…but I do use the body lotion in this scent and it’s my favorite. I always smell like a treat. I layer the body lotion with my fragrance of the day it never disappoints me. I’m always getting compliments on how good and soft my skin feels and smells

To me I liked this better than the vanilla lace. I bought a vanilla lace that was 60 bucks half full on eBay I’m not sure if was the real deal or not. But I think it was cause usually fake smells just smell like alcohol and no smell. But this smelled like dry down was vanilla. And honestly smelled of whiskey and vanilla. Anyone else smell whiskey in vanilla lace? And also ama flower smell. I honestly just think bare vanilla is more vanilla and yummy but most people think vanilla lace is sweeter but I don’t think so not at all. Vanilla lace does smell good but idk not like bare vanilla. I did smell a small chemical note in the vanilla lace that aggravates me. I only had vanilla lace 1 time back in 2016 I bought the lotion an gave it away. Lol i was thrilled of it but like it’s not bad. Not sure why I gave it aaay. It’s ok. But BV better to me

I truly don't understand how people use this for layering. It's so light that every time I layer it, the other scent will smell and this Bare Vanilla will absolutely disappear. I use Bare Vanilla alone because it's simply useless for layering imo and I do want to smell it. Wish it was stronger or that there was a perfume version because it is indeed delicious

Best vanilla smell I have right now ❤️

It was a bit expensive because I bought it online in Japan, but VS fragrance mist is always very long lasting, It is quite inexpensive considering it is 250 ml eau de toilette.
the scent was simple beautiful vanilla. It's a sweet scent, so it's good for fall and winter, but I like it so much I want to use it all year round lol
and I also sometimes use this before bed.

im in love with the yummy vanilla scent, its super tasty and i always got compliments when i used it. too bad that someone stole it :(

i didn't like it at ALL in the beginning but I've kinda grown to love it a lil.
people go crazy for this though. like i knew it was a people pleaser, but I saw just how much irl after I started using it.

for the price point? come on its amazing.
i spray it on everything, on my shoes as well if ive been wearing them for too long and it needs freshening up

fragrance notes: whipped vanilla and soft cashmere.

This is such an easy reach body mist. Honestly this is a beautiful vanilla, you can’t really go wrong with this scent. It’s stunning on its own and can be mixed with anything your heart desires. It gives off strong alcohol smell at first, but then gets pretty faint.
If someone were wearing this and walked passed you, I don’t think you’d be able to smell them. But it’s definitely a skin scent, if you sniff their arm where they’d spray it the scent lingers for about 3 hours with no layering. It’s very creamy and a bit smoky.

almost like vanilla bean Noel from bbw. Like pure vanilla extract but made into a perfume scent. Wish it were stronger for sure, but still must give credit that it lasts longer than my bath and body works mists.

Unpopular opinion, I don’t love this perfume, i was hyped up, because everyone loves it, I think it’s to intense, too sweet, and to much cashmere, I like it, but not love it. I prefer the warm vanilla sugar of Bath and Body.

one of my fav scents. such a nice sweet and warm vanilla without being too sickly 10/10

Pretty good but has this weird synthetic note at first spray. Good for sleeping at night, very cozy.

I ADORE this fragrance. I love vanilla, and this one doesn't feel synthetic. It's also super long lasting, I can smell it on my clothes the next day. Great payoff for the price! (And great everywhere, I'd literally marry this mist if I could)

Smells like a superf nice vanilla but a little synthetic its a good mist

(Reviewing the "Bare Vanilla Frosted" flanker)

I expected something creamy because of the vanilla + mint notes - like peppermint bark or some other candy cane-vanilla blend.

But instead, this smells exactly like a stick of Extra-brand spearmint gum - which I absolutely do not want to smell like.

This is so good, I’m literally left in shock by this every time. This body spray is great quality. Smells great, and lasts like an EDP! Crazy steal

I mean… meh.
Creamy vanilla scent yes but for me not necessarily gourmand, not gourmand enough.
It is like white creamy soft vanilla. It also smells like skin a little bit. Its not good but if it was a littleeee more gourmand, itd be amazing.
What can i say.

P.S Yves Rocher Vanilla body cream smells EXACTLY like this

what i like about this is that it doesnt have that one ticklish vanilla note (which most people like for some reason but its kind of suffocating to me and reminds me of a car smell) its more creamy and has a decent blend because of the cashmere so yeah go on but other than that its kind of....basic? I dont know, for me I like complex sweet smells and vanilla registers as sweet so I like this.Its good :3 but i heard the older versions were wayyyy better

This is so underrated!

Beautiful vanilla. I've had this in the past and somehow forgot.
Only downside is how strong it is. I wish I could tone it down a bit, it is almost cloying because of the strength. Such a great smell. A more subtle version of this exact scent would be ideal for an anytime fragrance. Warm and sweet. Fragrance wrapped in comfort. I recommend this but don't spray directly on you. Spray the air once and walk through or otherwise it will be too strong to enjoy.

I have the original bare vanilla body spray and the bare vanilla crystal lotion edition. These 2 layered together smells like what a delicious creamy Thai tea with caramel bobas tastes like.
Addicting. Beautiful. Cozy Comfort.

First I had Bare Vanilla Golden but I wanted to try the OG and compared to Golden, it doesn't have as much of a scent. It's a good fragrance and I can't imagine any vanilla lover hating it, but it is also very light. It's perfect to layer with Kay Ali Vanilla 28 or any other Kay Ali perfumes. I also think this spray is over priced unless you get it 50% off.

The scent is barely there and there is strong alcohol smell. However, when you manage to get a smell of the fragrance, it's absolutely stunning creamy vanilla which to have as perfume i would die for. just bought my 5th bottle

This is beautiful, very vanilla as the name and notes would suggest. I love wearing a little bit of this when I also wear Kayali Vanilla and Vanilla Coco together throughout the day, my only complaint is that it doesn't last very long although I suppose that's to be expected with a body mist. It's very pretty and I'd recommend, it was a blind buy because I just wanted a very pure vanilla body spray and I wasn't disappointed.

Very nice cozy vanilla scent. Lovely for layering. It is sweet but creamy.

I love this body mist, it smells like a cupcake and vanilla ice cream without smelling too synthetic and play doughy.

just received my package today!!! i was so excited to shower myself with multiple sprays of this juice. oh and i was not! disappointed! at all! this scent is super duper cozy. i can immediately imagine myself sleeping on beds of soft sugar cookies. i just went overboard by spraying all my pillows. with the notes of cashmeran, it definitely adds character and depth to it. to be honest i wasn’t really expecting a lavish-smelling vanilla. but i was wrong, i got this very rich and snuggly vanilla type and it was nothing like any synthetic vanilla i smell in cheap body mists. this was a good blind buy, i can see myself putting BV as my go-to daily scent.

This is a very beautiful vanilla body spray. When I first sprayed it I disliked the cashmeran note however I gave it multiple chances because I really wanted to like it and now I am simply obsessed. This is the type of scent that you need to get used to (the cashmeran might take some time to like) however once you love it, you will love it forever. It becomes truly the best vanilla scent ever and the cashmeran adds sophistication to it which makes it my favorite body spray.

BEST BODY SPLASH JUICE EVER!!! So milky and soft. Reminds of frolicking around in a wheat field. The immediate spray is better than the drydown though.

Simply stunning. This kind of vanilla makes me happy. I spray it on at home when I’m doing nothing, to bed for better sleep, use it solo in the summer when it’s too hot for perfume and in layering when making my unisex fragrances more wearable and “feminine”. It’s just so universal and for this price and this bottle size, I’d say it’s a great deal.
Now for the scent - very simple, sweet vanilla, but luckily with no synthetic feeling. It’s very edible and “vanilla cookie” like. In the dry down, it becomes less sweet and more Woody, but only a little bit. Somehow, men love it more than any of my expensive fragrances which is frustrating so you can probably say it’s a con :D

Finally a vanilla fragrance that smells like the good type of vanilla. It’s like a sweet type of vanilla. Very pleasant and soft and it smells very thick but in a good way. I remember my classmate used this once and everyone in the classroom was like “what smells so good?”. Love it

This smells exactly like Lambs Spiced Rum (extremely sweet and vanilla). I wore it on a night out and it made me nauseous it was that sickly, my friend thought it was disgusting too. I think this could only be used as a layering scent. I'd hate to sit next to anyone wearing this as it's so cloying. Would not recommend for anyone above 16, and that's coming from someone who enjoys sweet scents e.g. Cloud, Flowerbomb.

I use this body mist literally everyday as my base or by itself. It's a good basic vanilla that's creamy and a tiny bit powdery. I was never into vanilla scents but this fragrance is what started it all and got me addicted to vanilla. DON'T SLEEP ON THIS SCENT YALL!

i don't know why i smell a slight hint of amber in this one ...but ,anyways i really love it
..when it dries down it becomes a creamy vanilla scent 😍

Very pleasent, great for what it is. Sweet, plain vanilla. Great for layering, but put lotion on before you spray because the longevity isn't great. Body sprays need to be locked in.

I love this vanilla body spray. It's a mature sexy vanilla and I wish I could find a perfume that smells exactly like this because vanilla 28 is definitely not the same... still testing that one out. And I haven't tried the Billie Eilish perfume so idk if that one is more like it but with those chocolate and spicy notes I doubt it. I love everything about this it's sweet creamy and the cashmere in this makes it beautiful. I like to use this as my base fragrance for layering and alone.

I was really looking forward to testing this out as I love vanilla scents, but when I sprayed it I could hardly smell anything.. very disappointed.

A really nice vanilla scent. It's a very basic and generic vanilla and it kinda smells like caramel to me. Doesn't smell expensive or unique but come on it's a basic vanilla body mist, what are you looking for?

If you don't like sweet scents, I don't recommend it. It may be cloying, especially in the hot weathers. Also it smells like alcohol when you first spray it. But still a go-to vanilla body mist for me.

At first it smells Like Pure alcohol for about 5 minutes, but later the smell is nice. I do understand that it’s a cheap body mist but the longetivity is extremely underwhelming. You should basically Carry it around with you to respray every hour or two

I love this body spray. Layers good with literally anything. It's not as good as Vanilla Lace was (Bring that back), But it's good!

I love gourmand scents and this lotion and mist are perfect, especially if you like to layer! even alone, straight out of the shower it smells really nice! my mom smelt it from about 5 feet away and said I smelt like vanilla cookies lol. it’s so much better than BBW vanilla scents, where they can typically smell play dough-y or synthetic, this is just pure vanilla!

I never really liked te vs bodymists, until i found this one. I like to layer it with perfumes that are a bit spicier to get a well rounded scent, but even when i’m just wearing the bodymist i get compliments of people saying i smell like fresh vanilla cookies.

i used this fragrance mist in high school. i love it! it's just an affordable, basic vanilla body mist that is perfect for layering. in general i think victoria's secret and bath & body works make the best body mists for layering with other fragrances. this one is sweet, simple, and very to the point. sweet, musky vanilla cream.

Weak, but beautiful! This has slowly become a go-to hair scent for me because it lingers a little longer there and is light enough not to greasy up or dry out my hair like other more potent perfumes tend to do. Very beautiful and comforting vanilla that is not overly gourmand. It is simultaneously comforting and sensual. Great value for what it is!

I really like this mist. Its pretty cheap basic vanilla parfume, great for layering. Smells like vannila and warm cosy sweather.

Funny story as to how this has become my signature base fragrance mist:
At around december/november of 2019 liteally a couple of months post Victoria's Secret launching this fragrance, my friend happened to own it. So i was out with her and a few other people and for some reason i cant remember at this point in time I asked her if i could spray some fragrance and she handed it over to me. I had no knowledge of this fragrance AT ALL. However as soon as I sprayed the fragrance, I couldnt get over how creamy and toasty it smelt, for the whole afternoon it was all i could think about and somehow considering how this fragrance is not long lasting at all I could still smell it before i was about to sleep, but young me never bothered to get it all until the beginning of 2022.

Now, I'm literally addicted like I use this on a regular basis, right after i shower, i put another creamy delicious scented body lotion, then i apply bare vanilla and layer it another fragrance mist which also smells like vanilla but I adjust this fragrance according to the season unlike Bare Vanilla which is my base fragrance mist, then I apply a perfume of my choice depending on where I'm going or what time of the day it is.

My Advice to you if you're planning on getting this:
If you are the type of person who really likes mature, sweet, musky or creamy scents, bare vanilla is definitely for you! Also pro tip, always order this from the website Victoria's Secrets itself as they literally do monthly sales where you can get the fragrance for up to £8 GBP !!

So I bought this mist (but as the shimmer verison) and I can say that I enjoy this!
I originally bought Vanilla Lace when it used to be in stock and absolutely HATED it. However, this appears to be similar but yet I really like it?
For me it smells warm, cosy and powdery, and when it dries down I often get a whiff of caramel, buttery popcorn?? Which at first I was so confused by but then realised it was from this fragrance.
Upon first spray, it does smell slightly alcohol like, and almost not as vanilla as you would think, although the dry down is lush.
I wouldn’t wear this during summer or spring per say, however I did use it for summer when it was hot as a shimmer mist to make me glow and it looked so good and I smelt like a “cupcake” (according to friends). Paired with the matching lotion appears to work wonders. Deffo for winter/autumn - cold months where you want to be warm and comforting.
Would buy again, probably in the original version.

Smells just like bonfire bash from bath and body works! this one is just a tad lighter, but they are 95% similar in my opinion. A nice mix of vanilla and marshmallow. As soon as I smelled BV I thought of marshmallow.

This is BBW Warm Vanilla Sugar's gorgeous older sister. I adore this fragrance!! Not too overwhelmingly sweet for a gourmand, but still delicious. Bare vanilla is the classic vanilla scent- sugary vanilla and amber, this body mist will always be a favourite of mine, even when I'm not a teen anymore 😉

This is coming from someone who hated vanilla but realized as I got older (31 years old) most of my perfumes that I was recently wearing were vanilla based.

I still do hate most vanilla scents unless they are mixed with some type of fruity/woody notes which bare vanilla is mixed with cashmere, if this mist did not have cashmere in it i definitely would have hated this body mist. Luckily the cashmere stops it from being that dry candle vanilla smell and turns it into that warm sweet marshmallow vanilla. If you enjoy bonfire bash from BBW you will enjoy this as well.

ugh! ♡ this is just absolutely perfect the way it manages to be so sweet, sexy, and cozy at the same time. i want to french kiss the people that formulated this, its THAT good. The cashmere, musk, and amber in the background of the warm vanilla makes it so addicting to me, gives it a more mature smell. gotten lots of "you smell REALLY good" compliments when I wear this.

sexy sexy SEXY gourmand that also makes you want to take a long nap in a warm sweater on a cold day :)

According to me this is the best smelling body mist everrr!! When I first bought it I didn't like it that much. Used it 2 3 times and fell in love! I cannot live without this. It's a perfect sexy turn on fragrance. My Fiance loves it so much that he got a separate bottle for himself just to sniff it coz it reminds him of me lol. Can easily become a signature scent. LOVEEE ITTT! Definitely a compliment getter ♥️

AN HONEST REVIEW:

I got the 2022 VS Bare Vanilla version. I bought this coz I thought this is a Kayali Vanilla 28 dupe. This is not a groundbreaking scent and I am not impressed. It cold here right now so I thought that it would be perfect to try it. Well, I was disappointed. The smell of alcohol is dominant with this one and it quite smells like hotdog water in some way. The vanilla note is very synthetic which I do not like at all. I am not a fan. There is also a possibility that my body chemistry is not agreeing to it. I experienced the same thing (and smell) when spray on my skin with other VS fragrance mists. If that's the case, it sucks coz their lotions agree with my skin.

I still have to test it when layered with other perfumes though. Hopefully, I can still make use of this or else this will be my first blind buy fail.

I'd say this is the best long-lasting mist from Victoria's Secret. I use this mist as a base layer for all my warm gourmands and vanilla perfumes. This mist surprised me with its performance, my expectations were low as it's obviously just a mist. It's exactly what you'd imagine a pure vanilla scent to smell like. Seriously sweet, warm and feminine. On me, it lasts for a couple of hours and still lingers on clothing afterwards. Received countless compliments on this mist in combination with some of my favourite perfumes. I'll definitely be repurchasing.

i loveeeee this sent! to me it's smells like warm belgian waffles with french vanilla ice cream with a caramel drizzle. smells super nice.

i dont understand the previous review. this is one of the cheapeast perfumes on the market??

It smells like warm vanilla. It has a strong alcohol scent at first, but once I dries down it’s sweet and warm.

I love this, but it is too expensive. I bought two on sale for 50%. I would only purchase this on discount cause I don’t think it’s worth the original price.

You can’t go wrong with this 9/10

Any other gents enjoy this too? Layers well with leather and spice. Simple, comforting.

the smell is nice but the longevity is non existent. It disappears once you spray it on the skin :(

This is an interesting one. Like most body mists it smells like really strong rubbing alcohol in the beginning but once it begins to dry down its starts to smell like a sweet powdery vanilla caramel. I personally have dry skin so it lasts around 4-5 hours on my skin, (not including clothes) honestly I think it's quite expensive in my country so I would argue that its not really worth it and I LOVE gourmands. My family loves it on me though, my brother says that it smells like s'mores but I don't agree. Most people agree that its a safe blind buy but I disagree i'd recommend smelling it in stores before buying and only ever buy it on sale it really not worth the 19 dollar price tag (in my opinion) a lot of people say that it smells like just vanilla but I cannot ignore the underline caramel scent. Also the sillage is horrible it says only on skin and doesn't spread around at all unless you drench yourself in it (and i mean use up the entire bottle) It smells good but once you acknowledge the cons it's not worth it (unless you get it on sale.)

A friend of mine smelled her shirt like 10 hours after she put it on and mistook it as my strawberry pound cake just because we both are the only ones with sweet perfume in our dorm-
anyways smells nice but tbh yeahhhh kinda generic but again the name IS bare vanilla so its as you can expect?Anyways I have no problem with any type of scent so I do still like this.

Even for the price, I feel there are better options out there - Nehmat Vanilla Musk for example, if you’re craving a simple vanilla. This vanilla is too synthetic and even as a vanilla lover, I’m not a fan.

LOOOVE this body spray.....i just finished my first bottle in a month or something and of course i rebought it. I love the fact that it does not mixes with my perfume...its just a vanilla dose whenever i want to....

I feel like this is a mixture of vanilla and caramel. At first, to me the caramel was too strong to wear it but as the scent settles in, it smells delicious. I'm not sure about the hype though... I wouldn't repurchase it

Edit: I sprayed it before bed(cuz it makes me cozy somehow) and thr next day , Boom! I still could smell it. This lasts superrrr long.
But I honestly don't like the fragrance. It feels like I put caramel and vailla cream all over my body and beg for people to eat me... I should only use this before goind to bed.

as the name says, this is a simple vanilla scent. nothing special, it isn't sweet, just pure vanilla. i will say however that it is stronger than bath and body works body mists, which is a plus. if you want to smell like vanilla, nothing more, nothing less, get this. i think it would be good with layering as it only has a vanilla scent.

Plain vanilla. Pleasant but weak (based on the body mist).

I have the 2020 version. This is a great vanilla scent. It's very comforting. If you like B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar, you will definitely like this one. It's not super sweet either. It's a gourmand for any place/time tbh.

Update: I just got the 2022 version and there has been a change. In this one I feel they added more cashmere to it. The vanilla scent is reduced a bit.

If you want it to be more vanilla based, buy the older 2020 version. If you want it to be more balanced (with the cashmere present), buy the new 2022 version.

this is one of the best vanilla perfumes, its not sickening to me & is definitely a unique vanilla/sugary scent

i wish it was a bit sweeter, but overall a nice plain vanilla. good staying power.

I have a great story with this perfume.
I sprayed myself with bare vanilla right before mathclass. As i was sitting in math class and the other students were taking their seats, EVERY SINGLE PERSON who went passed me said things like “did anybody bring cake to class?” “It smells just like vanilla cake in here!!” Etc.
great confidence boost

This is so so so sugary and sweet and syrupy to the point where it makes me nauseous even in winter. I use one spray on my chest and that is enough to give me a pounding headache. Do not reccomend.

as a previous signature user of the og vanilla lace from vs, this one smells EXACTLY the same!
lots of reviewers ive seen have stated that the scent differes and does not have the same spark, which is how i initially felt when i first sampled it in the vs store. however, i went out and bought it a week later after finding an expired bottle of vanilla lace in my vanity and deciding that i'd give it a shot!
i'm not sure if it was because i was spraying it on myself instead of trying a sample in store, but when i first used it a HUGE wave of nostalgia came over me! it smells exactly like it did when i would drown myself in vanilla lace between classes!!
if you havent tried the vs bare vanilla or vanilla lace scents and you are a lover of gourmand scents - id say you must try it! its a scent i will keep in my collection forever <3

Melhor body splash, sério o cheiro dele é aconchegante, lembra bastante cobertura de baunilha, um cheiro doce perfeito chega até a ser elegante o único pinto negativo é que o cheiro não dura muito.
Não é enjoativo como muitos cheiros de baunilha, ele é simplis mas perfeito

God damn, I love this body spray. Miss Victoria, YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN. It’s like this delicious crème brûlée that’s a caramelised sensual and sweet but the amber just gives it this superior maturity and summer freshness.

I love this scent from the bottom of my heart. It is so dense, warm and cozy. A delicious gourmand that doesn't smell like plain rough vanilla to my nose.
After 10 minutes this smells like the powder from the top of a donut on my skin + some vanilla extract sweetness on the background.
It is simple, yet well blended and captivating.
The sweetness might become suffocating after you use it many times throughout the day, but I still love it.
The only downside is that it doesn't really last on my skin. After 1 hour I can only smell it when I press my nose onto my skin.

I don't like this but this is my most complimented scent OF ALL TIME (boys love this so much especially). I used to love this scent in 8th, 9th, and part of 10th grade (I'm an incoming junior) and considered it my favorite scent of all time at one point, but I have grown out of it. I feel like this used to smell so much better than what it is now (maybe my scent preferances changed??). This used to be strong and sweet to me but it kinda just smells like watered down alcohol with a hint of sweetness (on my 3rd+4th bottles). I love sweet and gourmand scents but this scent now just isn't doing it for me like it used to. The projection and longevity is terrible and it smells super weird to me, like beans almost. I do however like pairing this scent with other scents such as Joy Sugared Snickerdoodle and Beach Nights, but I don't like this on its own anymore. I really like the lotion though..I wouldn't really reccomend this anymore because to me there are so many better sweet and gourmand scents like Christmas Cookies, Cheirosa 71+62, Joy Sugared Snickerdoodle, and Coconut Cream Pie.

This should be called Barely Vanilla. It smells like nothing. Literally. First I get a strong blast of alcohol and then there’s nothing.This can’t be it. Something must be wrong with the one I got.Good thing it was cheap.

When the ease of a body mist combines with the simplicity of dry yet sweetened vanilla with no extra la-dee-da, this is what you get.
I like it.

✨

If you are familiar with Nothing Bundt Cake, the opening reminds me of their lemon flavor cake except someone put in way less of the lemon component and way more of the vanilla in there. I swear there is a faint hint of lemony note in the opening but it dissipates/ blends in with the dominant vanilla note and then it just fades into nothing. Drydown is straight up praline/vanilla scent.

So disappointed. I don't get the hype. It smells like nothing. No matter how much I spray on. If I sniff very hard, I get very mild sweetness and then it's gone within seconds. I even tried spraying it on paper, fabric, just to see if it was my body chemistry, but nope. It just doesn't have any noticeable fragrance. May be I got a bad batch...idk. just waste of money. And mind you, these are not cheap in my country ($20)

smells like an expensive vanilla perfume .. bomb

This perfume is exactly what I expected: sweet vanilla. It has a touch of woodiness to help give it a semblance of depth, but it's still basic. It's basic in the way that vanilla ice cream is basic- sure it's overdone and really popular, but for a good reason! This vanilla scent is delectable, warm, fresh baked cookies, while being simultaneously cozy and, dare I say, sexy. It does only last about an hour and wears close to the skin, but this is to be expected as it is a body spray.

4.5/5 since it errs on the side of being cloying

A sickly sweet, nauasting vanilla body mist. You realllllllly have to love vanilla and sweets to enjoy this. This would work better with layering, especially with another fragrance that lacks warmth and sweetness.

Deep, woody, sweet vanilla. Lasts very long for a body spray

IMO not a Bare Vanilla as the name suggests. It is cookies straight from the oven. Beast performance for a body mist. Lasts forever on my skin, even better than many perfumes do.

PS: I have the shimmer version.

Update: I set it aside for a while now. I am a huge gourmand fan but it is cloying for summer.

Bought this April 2022. Does not smell like vanilla at all, more like orchid. Does not stand a chance against Vanilla Lace by VS. Extremely weak sillage, longevity is almost nonexistent.

I tried dozens of vanilla perfumes in search of the perfect vanilla. Almost always the vanilla was either too sweet or more of a base for other notes. But I was looking for a pure vanilla scent and I finally found it. Bare Vanilla is the perfect, pure, creamy vanilla. The name perfectly describes the smell - bare 100% vanilla.

For a body spray, the longevity is great. At the same time, the smell is subtle and not cloying. More creamy and powdery than sweet.

Okay, i knew that i use to have a vanilla scented body spray from victorias secret when i was younger, that everyone and myself LOOOOOVED, but i did not remember if it was coconut passion or bare vanilla...

so i took a risk and ordered the bare vanilla one and of course, because i am unlucky, this turned out to not be the right one. I realized that with the first sniff i took of it.

I do like it, the coconut passion was just the GOAT and a bit more of a complex scent, this one is boring. Good but boring. A great scent if you want to wear something that does not evoke a huge reaction but is pleasant.

Its very long lasting, but someone has to get quite close to you to smell it. I wore it paired with vanilla lotion and i could smell it on my skin even after the whole day had passed, but the person i spent the day with said they did not smell it standing next to me. Found it weird since i usually think that victoria secret perfumes have a good sillage. Not to be like a broken record but my coconut passion mist use to get quite a few compliments and i wasnt exactly on top of everyone who said it.

For a body spray, the longevity is outrageous.

I tried it when I went to make a return.
The vanilla is so pure, it smells like a soft served vanilla ice cream that was made with the purest and most expensive vanilla extract.

What surprised me the most was that it stayed on my hand for about 6 hours. I washed my hands several times and cooked… it remained on me.
That was it’s longevity with only one spray!

I’m honestly shocked at this body spray and it’s performance.

Buy it, but not full price, because they have it on sale a lot. Sometimes it goes as low as $7
However, it is full price worthy.
I tried it yesterday, buying it today. I need it with me.

Update: I’ve had it for two months and the bottle is half way down. I love it! It smells like you are pouring vanilla extract into a cake batter mix.

I have this in the frosted version and that smells soo delicious and festive.
I also bought the original one after hearing so many good reviews, but it is really not what I thought it would be. this smells too sweet(sweet in a bad way) at first it's ok but after a few seconds, it gives me a real headache maybe it is the overpowered cashmeran note and maybe it is better to be used in cold weather but right now it smells almost nauseating to me

I love this. It is my favourite vanilla scent that I have ever tried. It’s so cozy and yummy. Fills the room and makes you smell delicious 😍😍😍

The name says it all. This body spray is a very pleasant, bare bones warm vanilla. The quality of the vanilla is great and it doesn't have that cheap synthetic smell that many inexpensive vanilla body sprays have. This body spray reminds me very much of Laura Mercier's Vanilla Gourmande. I like to wear it to bed or when I'm lounging around the house and want to reach for something cozy. The longevity is good for a body spray. I get a couple hours on my skin and I can smell it on my pajamas the next morning after sleeping in it. Overall, I think this is a good, affordable vanilla fragrance that most people will enjoy.

it’s just classic vanilla. affordable choice if you really like pure vanilla scents.

Honestly, this smells like a weaker version of Replica's, "By the Fireplace"
Thankfully it doesn't have the burned wood thing going, but everything else is the same.
It smells good, just a light, warm vanilla.

SMELLS LIKE NOTHING. I'm so glad I tried it at the store and didn't blind buy. I was so excited for it seeing how so many girls on tiktok say they swear by it. Sprayed it multiple times on a test strip and it smelled like nothing but wet paper to me. There was a little hint of sweetness but I had to sniff so hard to pick it up. I know the problem isn't with my nose as I tried many other scents in the store and bought a few other ones. Maybe I'm just a strong bold perfume kinda gal. This wasn't it for me. Get it if you want to smell like distilled water.

It is the best vanilla body spray I have found hands down. This is SO long lasting! I would've never thought it would have such great performance... it's basically a perfume on me! Honestly just one or two sprays is fine, I've made the mistake of showering myself with this and I suffocated the people around me lol. I hate B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar because it's so harsh and synthetic... this is nothing like it, it's warm and cozy and dare I say, expensive smelling! Great for layering with other perfumes. Get this ASAP if you love vanilla fragrances you will not regret it. Super impressed

Wow! Since i discovered it recently, I deeply regret buying « vanille absolu » from Montale few weeks ago… That’s the same! (Maybe a bit more « watery » and alcoolish, but this is normal for the price).
Being currently in a vanilla obsession and the quest of the black pod graal, I’m trying all the vanilla’s perfumes I can find on the market ^^
I’m looking for the Yves rocher vanilla bourbon of my teenage but more mature and persistant.
I have also a big crush on « vanille fatale - Tom Ford », but the price is really … Fatal.

So, if you are looking for a gourmand, pure but realistic vanilla, this is your chance!

This is my favorite of all times…it’s cheap, it’s romantic, addictive, warm and cozy. It’s the feeling of freshly baked sugar cookies, I always get compliments, I always smell good and I get soooo many compliments. It lasts for hours, sometimes I smell my clothes and the smell is still alive. Amazing. I’m currently looking for a perfum to upgrade, that has kind of the same smell of notes but it has been very difficult

I didn't expect much from a body mist, and the name suggested it would be a simple vanilla scent, but I've heard good things saying it was cozy and snuggly..and IT IS!! It's sooo good. <3 So yummy, warm, like baked cookies, sweet but not overpowering, comforting like a hug, no synthetic aftersmell whatsoever. It smells edible. And lasting power is impressive for a body spray!! Easy over 6h, if I'm home and spray it before bed, it lingers til the morning. I like to spray this in one of my scarves, and honestly I smell it at the end of the day still. Keeping in mind it's a huge bottle of 250ml I apply this liberally. Of course it no longer projects after a full day, but it's always pleasant for me to bury my nose in there. Well done Victoria's Secret!! This seemingly simple body spray wins over many perfumes I've sampled.

such a pretty soft cuddly warm vanilla scent, its way better than warm vanilla sugar and smells more mature than that, now i haven’t personally tried vanilla lace because i was too young at the time but, no matter what anyone says, bare vanilla is the best!! this would probably be good to layer with kayali vanilla 28 as they share some similiarities. this has pretty good longevity for a body spray, but you do have to reapply at some point. overall a 8/10 i will never get tired of this scent!!

Absolutely in love with this!!! It's the type of fragrance that you're mehhh about initially but this really grows on you. A very expensive vanilla fragrance. Definitely for the fall and winter. Not sure if I'd wear it in the summer time. This just shouts warm cozy sweater. Love it! Blind buy it don't worry.

I'm in love with this small. Iconic scent.
It's hard to find in my country, I got a backup of 3 bottles. this is how much i obsessed with the smell.

Blind bought it and so far I really like it. Smells sweet, and like fruity vanilla, no woody notes. However, do not expect a unique smell, this scent is a mass pleaser and it is not special but works great for layering and for applying after shower to get a delicious and fresh gourmand smell :)

This smells like the song 'cardigan' by Taylor Swift to me. That's it. That's the review.

For the price I find it okay - smells nice and sweet, definitely a bit more basic, crowdpleaser- ish scent but I still enjoy it for day-to-day. Initially smells very strong and alcoholic but it fades into a nice bakery vanilla scent. Could be great for layering.

The vanilla in this is almost like a vanilla liquor scent. That mellows quickly and its just a sugar and amber scent that reminds me of a Christmas glow or cookies. A good snuggle up and get cozy smell for days at home or before bed, or to add a vanilla element to any perfume. A great purse spray too, since it doesn't last super long. It's very inexpensive and nice to keep on hand. Mature and inviting.

This is my favourite fragrance ever. It s straight vanilla sugar and cookies that gives you the urge to lick yourself. I don t understand why they don t make a real perfume in this scent that lasts long time. I used this in the summer and in the winter but it s just a body mist, for me it doesn t last. I need to reapply continuosly to feel the smell.

I just got this earlier today and I am amazed!
I have to mention I was never a fan of straight vanilla fragrances as they tend to smell somehow plastic-y on my skin.
This almost smells like caramel! Same vibes as JS Fancy, but without the appricot.
Very warm and sweet without being cloying.
The longevity is beyond any expectation, especially for a body mist.
I would say it is more of a winter scent but I will definitely try it in the summer as well, to see how it goes. I have a feeling it won't be bad (:
It was a blind buy because of the positive reviews and I intended to wear it at home, at night, after I shower, however it's so good that I will certainly wear it outside too!
Definitely recommend!

A very sweet vanilla scent. I'm not a huge fan of it, since it starts out very strong but doesn't last very long, so it would have to be reapplied multiple times a day. If there was a perfume version of it, I would definitely be open to trying it out. The smell is good, but not something I would want to wear every day.
Would say it fits for pretty much every season, especially fall and winter.

Someone described this as vanilla ice cream which is fitting. Like if you dropped vanilla ice cream on your arms. It's like a warm, kinda musky scent and personally I don't prefer wearing that out. It's cozy but feels very synthetic and has that animalic musky note that I feel self conscious about. It kind of smells dirty to me. If you like vanillas it's worth a shot but I prefer fresher, sweeter vanillas like vanilla bean noel from BBW.

I absolutely love how this smells but it just doesn't last on me and it's so disappointing. I wish there was a perfume version of this because I'd be first in line.

I never buy body sprays, because I've always thought them too weak. I received this one as a gift last Christmas. Let's just say I asked for it again this Christmas, and got it. This spray is absolutely beautiful. I also have the Untamed version too. It has decent longevity for a body spray. I hope VS never discontinues this. I may stock up just in case. Sweet, warm, cozy, sexy amber vanilla. Quite addictive. Love it!

Smells like synthetic vanilla extract and since I have an entire bottle I use it to layer with my aquatic scents to give a beachy sunscreen vibe so It doesn’t go to waste.

For a body mist this sticks on for a super long time! I’m usually reluctant to buy them but I love this scent a lot and it sticks on well

A pleasant and sweet vanilla cashmere fragrance. For some reason, it smells a bit like laundry detergent upon the first spray for me, but after it settles it smells like a soft sugary vanilla. I can see why others say it smells synthetic, it’s definitely not the boozy or woody kind of vanilla. Lasts an alright amount of time, but it becomes a skin scent pretty quick.
