Vanilla Bean Noel

Such a nice, sweet deeper vanilla. It doesn't have any spice (which I like) but it also smells like a toasted marshmallow. A Christmas staple, and amazing in the cold weather. It does smell like vanilla cashmere EOS but they are a little different, I feel like this one isn't as cakey. I could wear this all year round if it was colder, Id forever repurchase this. I feel like she gets a bad rep for nothing. I like pairing her with Fresh cream warm cashmere, Bianco latte, milk orchid, or even honey milk by mix bar!

this one is just... Christmas in a bottle. 🎄🤍 It has a completely different kind of vanilla compared to most vanilla fragrances. While a lot of vanillas lean warm, creamy, milky, or lactonic, this one feels much more like candy-bright, sugary, and almost like colorful jelly beans. I don't really get the chocolate that's listed in the notes. I can understand the whipped cream, but it doesn't smell lactonic or milky to me at all. Instead, it's all about that pure, sugary sweetness, which gives it a very festive, holiday-like feel. I'll be honest, it can be a little overwhelming because of how sweet it is. On its own, it's a bit too much for me to wear every day. But I really enjoy using it at night, especially on cooler evenings, or layering it with warm vanilla scents to make it feel a little cozier.

smells like weird farts??? genuinely nauseating don't know what went wrong

Absolutely my favorite splash on Christmas season! it just never gets tiring for me, the only thing I can say about it it's that the smell kind of changes each year,the first year I bought it,it really smelled like cookies and vanilla,but then I think they reduced the sweetness just a little. But still I recommend it

Smells okay at first sniff but once you begin to sniff it more it smells somewhat both burnt and acidic? I can't be the only one who thinks this way, not to mention how it turns into a playdough scent as it stays on the skin. Not pleasent at all... and is also much too sweet for me to enjoy. Definetly a hard pass even though it's affordable.

It doesn't smell disgusting on my skin, even reminds me of Vanilla Romance by BBW whatsoever. I got butter creamy vanilla kinda smell, and that's it, no longevity, no projection. However, I'm gonna keep it

smells like smone ate vanilla cookies with milk n threw up after letting it marinate in sour stomach acid for half an hour

Guys. Dknt buy it. Its a terible frgarance. Theres none if that good stuff. Its a musk forward scent with a hint of vanilla. I miss the OG vanilla bean which has been erased from existence. There couodnt be a mkre perfect vanilla

this just can’t be real smells like sour milk and wet socks. the biggest disrespect to vanilla ever

My first ever BBW purchase was made 6 months ago and loved everything I got so when the sale came on I grabbed this one real quick due to the hype it got. I sprayed it on a tshirt that i just took off my toddler after he dirtied it from playing outside but never got to actually smell it because my toddler ran into the shower himself and I completely forgot it about until I walked past my laundry basket and got this delicious vanilla smell. I saw the top and grabbed it and could smell it more. It reminded me of Tihota by indult which is one of my favourite vanillas. Was so surprised about this much it was projecting to get a whiff of it while walking past! Really don’t understand the hate on all the reviews here but I’m glad this worked so well for me

I really wanna try and like this body spray but the dry down isn't really good. When you get a wiff, it does smell creamy and comforting. But when you put it on your skin it just smells sour, like playdough or expired cream.

It’s a classic BBW which has been duped over the years. Most namely EOS Vanilla Cashmere. Can’t hate what started started this scent. Love her.

I only truly get the vanilla and whipped cream notes, it could just me be but there is not a whiff of chocolate

My bottle is from 2022, and it smells rly nice, but why is it so woody and smoky tho? Not gourmet sweet at all. Where is my caramel cookie dough? Where are the Christmas gourmet vibes?? 😭😭 This spray is more like a sister to Vanilla Romance (just without the cardamom, and I did compare both side by side). The initial spray actually smells like the candy coating on M&M🤔, and it just get much woody & smoky/incense-ish as time goes by. It's a nice mist, but not in the way I thought it would be😂

First smelled this as a lotion in high school and was obsessed. Finally bought it a few years later, and every time I put it on I feel like I'm wrapped in a warm, white vanilla blanket. The perfect winter or Christmas scent. I was thrifting a few months back, found a slightly used bottle of this in spray form, and bought it immediately. I wish she lasted on the skin longer, but that's par for the course when it comes to Bath & Body Works. I still love her. 5/5

Pure throwback 2014 christmas vibes I was in 5th grade, I specifically remember my elementary french teacher always wearing this and loving it. She would also spray it around the room to get rid of the puberty musty-ness from the students lol. This is a good basic vanilla but it could be viewed as cloying to some. Obviously not long lasting and needs to be re applied since it’s a body spray. I used to really love it but never would buy it now.

This is one of my top 3 bbw scents, my only issue is that i think this has a fart note:/

smells like a vanilla bean vape. something is way off with this

this smells so screechy and synthetic, it smells like cloyingly sweet plastic

Loved the body wash, but the body mist fell short. Has an alright smell (mostly vanilla bean and Cream) that only lasts an hour or so. Not my favorite vanilla scent (almost smells like a vanilla/sweet dessert vape??). B&BW has better vanilla / winter type scents. I think the formula has changed over the years. okay for the price.

this was my everything in middle school

Pour une brume, c'est une magnifique vanille caramel

In the store it smelled really nice but when I spray it on my clothes it smells almost kinda sour. Like something spoiled. Behind that I can smell some vanilla, but the sour smell makes me nauseous and it overpowers the sweet vanilla. Did not enjoy this one.

smells exactly like EOS vanilla cashmere. too sweet for me!

used to smell like vomit on my skin, the longer i let it sit it's become less so. now it's like vanilla + spit, i mostly use it on clothes and linen for this reason 😭😭 i do kinda like it tho..

When they first farted this scent out, it was delicious. It smelled so good. Now it just smells like nasty sour feet. What are they doing?!?!?!

This is my first year buying this and I don't smell the spoiled milk that others were talking about. Though I don't know if the formula changed throughout the years, but I can smell how it once was a classic now turned into an unpleasant scent for others. Not the best vanilla scent, especially comparing it to the most recent vanilla collection I.e vanilla romance, ease, etc. I do like the smell on my skin, but only on cold winter nights/ mornings and going to sleep. I'll give it a 6.7589/10.

I swear this body mist smelled so good a couple years ago! I remember loving it because it smelled like a very true vanilla, with none of that chemical nonesense. But then when I went to buy it again this past year...It was so off! I didn't get any of the sour or spoiled milk vibes that everyone else is talking about, but it was very chemically to me. I don't know what happened, but needless to say, I didn't purchase it again.

TLDR- don’t waste your money on this. I remembered having a distaste for this perfume as a teen, but as an adult I couldn’t remember why for the life of me. I decided to give her a second chance and ordered online during a sale. I left a negative review on bath and body’s site for this scent as well because the quality control is trash. I’m a B&BW fan for the most part but this one disappointed me like crazy. There’s basically no detectable scent. I love vanilla and I’ve been looking for a good caramel scent. Some people say they get that and sugar cookie scent but I didn’t. It’s all alcohol and then a very extremely subtle basic cheap vanilla scent. I don’t want to waste it so I use it when I want a very close to the skin/clothes unobtrusive perfume like if I know people are gonna be standing right next to me at work all day (or if someone told me I laid a different scent on too heavy the day before). I also got the body butter (in the circular tubs) and it smells like rank Greek yogurt when you first apply it. Don’t know what that could possibly be from, it doesn’t seem to be expired. After it absorbs it’s an ok scent reminiscent of basic vanilla and maybe a little generic bakery gourmand note. I use it when I need extra hydration during wintertime and it’s decent layered with the perfume.

Idk man this stuff smells like a sweet vape pod mixed with spoiled dairy to me. The last time I tried to wear this, I felt as though I smelled like I hadn't showered in awhile. Freekin yucky!! I don't remember it smellin so rancid back in the day, but galldam it just turns my tummy these days!!
