Reviews
Love it in solid form
I bought this a while ago and I adore using it when I'm traveling, especially by plane since I use it in solid form! It smells earthy, sweet, delightful and I think it would combine beautifully with a black tea fragrance to make it more complex and fresh. I highly recommend it for the winter. It lasta a very long time
Strong, grown-up Vanilla
I really loved the vanilla range from Lush (Vanilla Fountain Bath Bomb, Vanilla Delite Lotion), so of course, I was very excited when they released a perfume of the scent. However, this one is a little bit different, due to the addition of jasmine. I find that It's not quite as caramel-y as the other before it, and sometimes the jasmine is a bit jarring. Some other people compliment the fragrance, but some say it smells strongly like beer! I'm not sure if I would repurchase this.
yummy
This perfume will leave you smelling like a super yummy cupcake! I carry the solid around with me and rub it into my temples and I always get compliments on how great I smell. I recommend LUSH scents for those of you who like wearing a scent but have sensitive skin that gets irritated when you use normal perfumes.
This was my go-to fragrance for autumn--it's deep, sophisticated, and just a little bit delicious! I've always loved gourmand perfumes, but honestly it's a little hard to walk around smelling like a cookie or chocolate bar all day. When I worked as a pastry chef it was fine--people assume you smell like whatever you were baking that day--but as anything else, it's a little hard to pull off. Vanillary does not have that problem.
I fell in love with Vanillary when LUSH put out their Vanilla Fountains bath bomb. A pretty little flan-shaped bath bomb with a real vanilla pod in the center, it was my favourite bath-time indulgence. When they released the massage bar and the body powder, I was in vanilla heaven! But the perfume, I'd say, is more complex than any of them: this does not smell like vanilla pudding. It has a base of real, true vanilla--if you've ever split and scraped a vanilla bean, you know the smell, it's heaven! But LUSH adds woody notes like tonka and a bit of caramelized sugar and tropical flowers to round it all out and make sure you don't smell like a cookie.
If you're afraid of florals, this is a great perfume for you. If you're afraid of gourmand scents, this is a great perfume for you. It's very warm, making it a great F/W scent.
My everyday perfume
This is the perfect perfume for me, it's very warm and not at all flowery. It really reflects my personality, and it gives me a bit more confidence when I wear it. It just makes me happy whenever I smell it. Since it's a perfume, it lasts a while, but I don't like using too much so the scent fades after a day, and I have to reapply in the evening. Awesome if you love vanilla as much as I do.
