a delicious, rich body wash! got this cheap on strawberrynet and havent used it in my hair yet but as a body wash its softening and yummo to smell. however tried it on my hair, not too good so maybe just use this as a body wash.

I got this for my birthday from my mom and the minute i opened it i fell in love! The smell is really good but it doesn't give me a headache (like most shower gels) and its thick and creamy. I would re-purchase this item

I don't usually go for food smells but loved the smell in the bottle so I bought this on a whim. Unfortunately the smell is strongest in the bottle and practically disappeared the minute it was added to a running bath. I closed the door as the bath ran expecting a lovely steamy scent to greet me when I opened the door, but... nothing!
As this is just an average gel/bubble bath the scent is the thing that may justify paying £13.90 for it, in this case it doesn't.

Well like everyone has said below the scent is not at all strong but I can def smell it and to me it smells more like vanilla pudding. I couldn't smell it in the bottle but in the shower it def comes out more. Love the formula its a nice thick not too foamy but very moisturising soap. I'm not dissapointed in this purchase I think its nice but for the price and hype of the product they could spend a little more to throw in more scent.

I really wanted to love this. I love vanilla and foody scents, but this is a rip-off. You can hardly smell it and when you do, its like a synthetic plasticky smell. Ick. No lasting power *thank God!* and the consistency of glue. Heaven forbid if someone actually uses this for its purpose. Awful stuff.
Pass.

Yum. I really like this. It smells delicious. Lathers well, moisturizes well, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I don't need too much on my puff to wash my whole body, so a bottle will last a long time. I will repurchase this.

The smell is alright. I usually like sweet scents. I'll use up the soap because it's mosturizing but I wouldn't buy it. It got it as a gift as part of the birthday party set.

I received this as a free gift from Nordstrom - I actually really like the scent. It feels more moisturizing than other scents I have tried.

This is a fun shower gel. In my opinion, it does smell like vanilla birthday cake with a little bit of coconut mixed in. This gel feels slightly more moisturizing than others I have tried. Lathers like a dream and smells wonderful. This is especially fun to use as February is my birthday month. :)

I received a bunch of various small bottles of 3-in-1's as a gift for Christmas. The Vanilla Birthday Cake doesn't really smell like cake to me, but more like those hard butterscotch candies that are wrapped in the transparent yellow wrapping. Very sugary. I love those butterscotch candies though, so I find this scent fun! The scent surrounds me in the shower, but it wears off quickly so I don't have to worry about matching my perfume or lotion to it.
It kind of takes a lot of product in order to get a good lather (compared to bar soap, which I usually use). It cleans adequately, but I don't notice extra moisture. I only use it as a body wash. My regular soap cleans great and lasts a lot longer for a lot less money, so I'm sticking with that.
