What wearers say
“I loveee this fragrance! It's got nice projection and really good longevity for a body spray. Lasted me a solid 6 hours at least while out and about. Excellent price considering it lasts as long as much more expensive perfumes and you get a whole 8 oz. It's super similar to bare vanilla but a little sweeter and lighter. Overall one of my favorite everyday scents.”
“Literally the perfect woody vanilla spray, I have only tried the body spray but I really like how its super cozy without being super warm and overpowering for summer.For a body spray it lasts moderately long, more than the standard body spray longevity. If I could only smell like one thing for the rest of my life it would be this.”
“The pepper note is very strong when you first spray it, I sneeze everytime i spray it on but it’s worth it lol. It quickly dries down to a vanilla similar to the bare vanilla VS mist but a little bit more mature and way more long lasting. People often compliment me when I spray it on, even after hours of doing so. It’s also the perfect mist to layer with other scents imo.”
