Breaks my heart that this is no longer made! It a very elegant warm vanilla scent unlike any other in it's price range. I so wish VS would bring it back. I am rationing the last bit if my back up bottle :(

I loved this so much that I got one for my friend and she got one for her friend and I bought... I think 5-6 full sized bottles for myself along with 2 travel sized body mist spray bottles. Yes I'm serious. That was maybe 2 years ago and I wore this so much to the point where I, and my family got sick of it and I ended up using two bottles as room sprays and giving away another for Christmas last year.

The scent is very yummy, a lot of people say it smells like "sugar cookies" and thats pretty much exactly what it smells like. It smells like sugar cookies, vanilla, and musk; its pretty sexy and sensual for a woman and men seem to like the smell of it too. This doesn't smell like a cheap sugar donut or anything it's actually quite nice, I think anyone from teens to early thirties could pull this off quite nicely. Its sweet enough to be "young" but with enough musk to be suitable for older women.

I currently have one full sized bottle left and a half used travel sized mist bottle. I think VS stopped selling this in stores awhile ago and now the only place to get it would be the outlet stores and ebay. There's some reasonably priced ones on ebay. I would recommend getting the (full sized) ones where the perfume inside is pink because the clear ones start to turn yellow inside the bottle after a year. I guess they company realized that too and started to put pink dye in the perfume later, so the pink perfumes (clear glass square-ish bottle is still the same) are the fresher/newer versions of this fragrance on ebay (just a tip).

I got this at one of Victoria Secret's semi annual sale. I think it was during the summer of 2010. Unfortunately, they were discontinuing it at the time.(I got it around $12-15.) It makes me sad. Anyways, this has to be one of my favorite perfumes. I use it every once in awhile so I won't go through it very fast. I hope they bring it back because I would definately buy more. :) It's the perfect vanilla perfume, not too strong and it's not weak either.

This perfume smells amazingly good. Among my collection of hundreds, this makes my top 5. It walks the fine line between sweet and refined. It's very sweet, delicious vanilla, but it's not juvenile the way Pink Sugar is (NO hate!- I love Pink Sugar! It gets 5 lippies from me and I wear it quite frequently, so don't take this as a criticism of PS. It just lacks a certain sophistication.) Rather the vanilla is very smooth and tempered by floral notes of jasmine that lend it a warm, very elegant quality. I find it a very simple fragrance, it is linear from beginning to end, but in it's simplicity it is very rich- it takes the few notes it has to the heights of their potential. This is one of my most treasured fragrances, and I've purchased backups and gifted bottles to friends and family.

I don't understand why this was discontinued. I mean, Victoria's Secret will line their shelves with scents like Sexy Little Things Noir Tease (Can we layer on any more sexually aligned adjectives, there?) which just smell like cheap Juicy Couture or Vera Wang Princess knock-offs... yet get rid of something like Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine. I'm not under any delusions that Cashmere is necessarily any more "sophisticated" than their other perfumes, but it smells much better crafted. It's not a synthetic cupcake bomb, so I feel like the materials they used must have been higher quality. I truly loved it and hoarded my last bottle incessantly. It's a mellow, fleshy Bourbon vanilla that's beautifully warm and excellent for fall. The cedar used in the base balances out any crazy sweetness and lends a hint of spice to the whole composition.

LOVE the scent its quite sweet just like vanilla or marshmallows or sugar cookies
this has been my favorite for over 1-2 years and every person I know who has tried it has fallen in love with it also
The packaging is an elegant and simple clear glass bottle that comes in a nice wool pouch and gray and creme box
I recommend this highly to everyone who loves sweet scents

I loooove this stuff. It's a very nice vanilla scent. It's not overwhelming or strong or sickly sweet like some other vanilla scents, but it is a little powdery(but not too much). Very warm and comforting. I love it!

This is my go-to soothing/comforting scent, it reminds me of a library in winter and the feeling of being submersed in a great book while the snow falls outside...that being said I wear it in summer as well. It is a laid back down to earth vanilla based scent on me that has none of the cloying all too sweet smell of many vanilla perfumes out there. Love it!

This is soooo soothing. It's a warm, clean balance between jasmine, sandalwood, and vanilla. A little powdery too, but not too much. Well done.

I have this in the body spray. I spritz it on everyday after my shower. A nice, warm, soft scent that's not overpowering.

Love this little perfume. I get a lot of heliotrope out of this fragrance, which is perfect for my usage. I spritz a little on before bed at night, as heliotropes give off their scent at night - so this makes me think of bedtime, and helps me drift off to sleep. The vanilla and jasmine in this perfume are also stand-outs. Lasting power is great, and it is not overpowering.

I swear it's the story of my life..if I like something it will be discontinued.
I bought this during SAS never thinking that something this good would get the ax. Wrong. I finally wore this for the first time the other day & it's fantastic. The first spritz was pretty sharp & I had second thoughts,but a couple hours later it had morphed into creamy powdery vanilla goodness. It's one of the few fragrances that really works w/my chemistry. What little they had left at my store was back to full price & being phased out.

I love this fragrance. I've been on a vanilla kick for a few years. I love this and also the VS Vanilla Lace.

I had spritzed it on a little fabric reading glasses case in my purse. Every time I took out the case, I smelled the fragrance and thought, "Yummm!"

I noticed the Parfum Intimes section disappearing at the stores. A VS rep said thy are discontinuing several of the Parfum Intimes line, so I loaded up during the Annual Sale - 50% off.

Pretty but simple. Smells *very* close to the Bath and Body works aromatherapy Vanilla Jasmine line. Some sandalwood at the base keeps it warm, and the ingredients aren't quite as cheap as BBW, so it's a passable pretty scent. Not as much vanilla as I had hoped for, but YMMV. Passable lasting power of a few hours also.

I just bought this perfume this week after searching for a vanilla perfume since my guy likes it so much.

Its soft and warm and not overpowering. I love it - the packaging is cute as well. It seems more grown up than some of the other sweet perfumes. Sweet with a bit of floral, but not too much where I end up smelling like buttercream frosting.

Now to see if he loves it as much as I do - it does remind me of a soft sweater and cozy cuddling on the couch.

I loved this when I sampled it in the store, but once I used it away from all the other fragrances in the air and had a chance to live with it, I didn't end up caring for it so much. Generally, I hate powdery scents. (Unless they are very light on the powder aspect...) In the store, this smelled floral and vanilla-y to me, which I was keen on. It wasn't until I got away from any other scent interference where I could detect that one of the strongest notes in it (on me, anyway) was POWDER.
I still can't detect any spicy notes whatsoever, which I would have liked to. It wears a long time on me, but I just am not crazy about it...it's borderline old-lady to me because of the powder.

Since I already had the bottle, and lost the receipt, (grrr) I just keep it around for a linens spritz...it's similar to something Downy makes, and I'm fine with that smell being on laundry, especially on bed linens. And the bottle I have will probably last for at least a year, at that rate...

By the way, they also make this in a fragrance mist and not just EDT/EDP...the mist is the one I tried. I'm wondering if the perfume smells spicer or more woodsy?

I really liked this scent when I first purchased this. I was blown away as to how clean and pretty this smelled. Initially, it reminded me of Downy's Lavendar vanilla fabric softener, so cozy, comforting and clean scent. But then, after and hour or so, I noticed that it became masculine. I kept smelling a man's cologne or deoderant and realized that it was from the Vanilla Jasmine. I didin't notice it before and actually thought my sniffer was off, so I sprayed again the next day. Once again, I detected that masculine note. Sadly, this didn't work for me. The initial spritz is nice, but after a bit, I don't like smelling like a dude, so I wouldn't repurchase.

I absolutely love the way this smells. I usually hate vanilla scents but it's something about this one that just makes me stray away from that. Amazing scent!
