This is lovely - like showering with vanilla custard! I was looking for a soothing, comforting aromatherapy shower gel and found this one through MUA just as I was heading out to the shops. Very...

Ahhh I forgot all about this one. Not a vanilla person by any means but this is heavenly. A sweet vanilla candy like concoction, lathers up great, generous size amount I just haven't seen this on...

Lots of people have been saying this smells 'plasticky.' It doesn't to me at all...it smells like vanilla, only Swiss vanilla which is different to regular vanilla. Maybe that's why people are...

I have used lots of different body washes, but I have found that this yummy-vanilla scented one is the only one that leaves my dry legs visably hydrated, even when I've been too lazy to moisturise....

Yep, it is a plastic-y vanilla. I personally divide vanilla scents into 2 categories - good "real" vanillas, and good "fake" vanillas. This is a good fake vanilla - it's like french vanilla instant...

This is a nice, lightly moisturizing bodywash. I particularly like using this in the summer, as the light vanilla fragrance doesn't clash with my summer fragrances, and the bodywash doesn't react...

This body wash smells like a medium strong, plasticky vanilla scent, but quickly disappears after like 15 minutes once out of the shower. It lathers ok, but my skin was not soft and became very...

I am on my third bottle of this stuff! I love the smell. The texture is so rich too. It makes wonderful thick lather. I also notice that my skin is considerably softer after I use this. Great...

I love this! It leaves my skin soft and sweet smelling, it's cheap, and it's easy to find. Can't go wrong :-) EDIT: I've been using this for 2 years now, and I ran out the other day so I picked up...

This one smells great but I wish it was a stronger scent. I seem to remember a few years back, the scent was stronger. It's a great gentle everyday body wash.

Oh no I'm surprised at the low ratings for this body wash, I'd have to say this is my favorite. The lather is to die for, and this is the truest to vanilla scent I've experienced in the shower. ...

Dirt cheap and beats any of several $8-$20-a-bottle brands I've tried.

For a drugstore body wash, this is pretty good. I like St. Ives products because they are very moisturzing. This lathers very nicely and feels good. The smell is very sweet and doesn't linger. ...

Very very sweet fakey vanilla scent. It's very strong in the shower, but doesn't linger on your skin. It lathers up very well though and moisturizes the skin. I just can't get past the scent.

This lathers well and has a creamy rich texture. The smell has a synthetic quality that is unsettling for me though. At first whiff you get the vanilla, but it's quickly replaced by an almost...

I love this stuff, it has a great lather and noncompeting scent. I've had a difficult time finding anything that lathers quite as nice.

Smells quite strong for me and is super sticky. I feel a tad too sticky after bathing instead of feeling light and smooth all over. The packaging isn't that good either. It's so prone to leaking.
