I got this as part of a Christmas gift with a few other items from this line. I must say that I was very disappointed with this, there is very little smell and the smell itself is plastic-like at...

What is this scent?! Plastic? Kitty litter? Plastic kitty litter? How can BBW screw this up sp badly? I got mine as part of the "Buy 3, get 2 free" promotion. What a waste! Even for free!

I guess I agree with the majority on this; it smells light and pleasant, and gets one's skin nice and clean, but it actually has very little scent.<br> I use it in conjunction with the matching...

Don't buy this year's green and glittery version of this, either. Instead of smelling like absolutely nothing, it reminds me of one of Clinique's numbered toners. The SA mentioned that they put a...

Ok, I agree with all of the other reviewers. This is basically unscented body wash. I absolutely love VBN & I bought this, the lotion, and the body spray. Everything else smelled great, except...

I was disappointed with this product, but it didn't completely repulse me the way the VBN splah did. Neither product smells like the VBN lotion. The shower gel, to me, smells like a very faint...

This doesn't exactly smell bad, but it smells nothing like the lotion which is the reason I bought it.

As with the body splash, the shower gel fails miserably in capturing the wonderful scent of Vanilla Bean Noel as found in the lotion. The shower gel has little to no scent. If you love VBN, stick...

This shower gel lathers & cleans nicely. The scent is great. I don't think that as a shower gel it is more than average but it does work nicely for layering the scent. I would repurchase but for...
