Nice body cleanser with a sweet vanilla scent. Not overly drying and rinses clean. After a while it did start to smell like a slightly burnt cake, but, I still kind of enjoyed it.

I pick this up every year during the holiday season. Sometimes it sells out before I can get my hands on it, so I paid too much for it ($12.50/bottle--ouch). It smells nice but doesn't linger at all...Read more

I usually don't care for vanilla scented body care but this is an exception! I find that this vanilla is not overpowering but it does smell sweet and delicate. However, I feel like this body wash stri...Read more

This is a must buy every holiday season. I love using this shower gel on the truly cold bitter winter mornings. This scent is so warm and cozy smelling. I'm usually not a fan of gels that smell like s...Read more

There appears to be an issue with BBW quality control or consistancy problems with this formula since the scent of Vanilla Noel differs widely between the lotion, the body wash, the spray mist, and th...Read more

So my husband HATES anything vanilla scented. Every time I wear this, he comes up to me and kisses my neck and says "Mmmmm you smell like cake." So I of course have to remind him it's vanilla. I love...Read more
