Vanilla is not one of my favourite scents unless it is in a latte and in perfumes the vanilla need's to be balanced just right or else it can be too sweet and cloying.
The body shop have been doing vanilla perfume for years and they seem to have the key to getting it just right.

Available in a 30ml Eau de toilette for £8.50 from Body shops up and down the country it is certainly a bargain.
It comes in a lovelybut very simple little glass bottle that represents the natural no nonsence approach the body shop has to it's products.
It is a perfect size for slipping into your handbag for reapplying throughout the day.

The scent itself is vanilla obviously and is slightly sweet but not so much it is sickly. I actually think it smells like home made cookies which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your viewpoint. The sweetness of vanilla is countbalanced by a muskiness which really does compliment it perfectly and help's take away some of the sweetness to make it a more adult scent rather than an overly sweet one for teenagers.

For a body shop perfume it is surprisingly long lasting which for anyone familiar with them know this can be a major drawback of some of their other perfumes.
When you first spray it, it can be a little strong but this soon fades and you are left with a more subtle fragrance but one that still packs quite a punch and lingers on you for the whole day. I find it to be a really good mood enhancer and it reminds me of summer for some reason which is nice in this cold weather we are having.

It isn't my favourite perfume but at only £8.50 it is nice to have some for when I fancy a completely different scent to what I would normally wear and if you like sweet almost edible smelling scents then I think that this will be one for you.
