What wearers say
“(Review for the 2025 Archives Collection Vanilla Lace)I never tried the original one but the new one is such a disappointment. A plasticky vanilla with a very artificial musk. I grew up on Bare Vanilla but the way everyone hyped this up I thought it would be even better than Bare Vanilla. Nope. It smells like microplastics dissolved in alcohol.”
“Very pretty vanilla that will have you smelling like a cookie or cupcake, if you like vanilla this is a safe blind buy and you can layer with many perfumes. A dupe for this would be the Body Fantasies Signature Vanilla. This smells like straight up vanilla i dont get any other notes other than that, depending on your nose and skin you can smell like marshmallow, cookies, etc.”
“This one is not nearly as good as Bare Vanilla. It opens with a very strong burst of alcohol and has the cocoa/chocolate milk undertone. And doesn't last at all, not more than a couple of minutes. I wanted to try it out so much, looked up and down for it and it was such a disappointment. Ugh. I couldn't even use a slider on the 'projection' or 'longevity', as there's literally none.”
