The body spray smells like fruit loops mixed with cotton candy. I will never understand why they didn't keep these around.

My favorite scent of all time from B&BW and that's saying a lot since I own basically half of B&BW's scents! It's just an amazing blend of berry and vanilla. Sadly it only comes around twice a year but I stock up. LOVE!

I love this one! I also tried the lemon one and that was a mistake! But not this. This smells so yummy! Can't believe they'd discontinue this. Whatever, I can always buy on ebay or try Ravishing Love from VS as I've heard these two are very similar.

I LOVE this scent! It smells really nice and fruity but not over powering. I know it has been discontinued since it was a summer scent and may be back this coming up summer but if you are looking for the same scent, Victorias Secret has a scent called Ravishing Love and it smells identical! Both very nice scents!

A simple straightforward berry vanilla scent that smells terrific. Smells exactly as its name says - berries and sweet vanilla. You can't beat it for the price. This smells as good as some higher priced fumes. Lasting power is not great, but it is only a mist after all. Worth reapplying whenever you want at this price. Definitely would rebuy if this was still available. It's discontinued but BBW recently brought it back for their yellow sale so I got some!

This is one of my most favorite scents from Bath and Body Works! I have the full size lotion as well (it was the first thing I got from BB&W). I actually have the travel size of the mist, because I just like to wear different scents all the time. I think it smells like fruity Starbursts at first, but then dries down to a sweet vanilla scent. Too bad it's discontinued.

MY FAVORITE. I fell in love instantly when I saw it online. I didn't even smell it, but I wanted it. I just didn't want to pay for the shipping. So at the SAS, I found it and smelled it...heaven! It's like a strawberry/raspberry smoothie and also like a raspberry lemonade Jolly Rancher. So sad they discontinued it! :( :( :( The replacement Cherry Vanilla smells too fruity and not enough vanilla to soften it.

This smells outrageously nice and sweet. It may be a little too sweet for some (like me), but it still smells delicious.



I gave it 4 lippies because it is too sweet for me as an opinion.. but it does however smell wonderful.



It smells like a group of different berries - blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry.. mixed together with vanilla. It is long lasting like all the vanillas.



Would repurchase again.

This scent isn't bad, but I'm not a huge fan of it. I smelled it and automatically thought of Ravishing Love in the VS Secret Garden Line. I own Ravishing Love already, and it is a scent that is just a bit too sweet for me. It was good for one purchase, but I would not buy it again. RL and BV smell incredibly similar to me. RL does have a blackberry note to it, so that may have something to do with it. I highly suggest RL as a replacement for people that are loyal to the BV scent. Of course, BV is on clearance now, so it's dirt cheap in the mean time.

I absoluetly LOVE this !!!!
It was love on first sniff! Sooo sad BBW discontinued it, havent tried the replacement Cherry Vanilla, but I know it cant top this!
Its my Number 1 Fragrance of all Time!
I bought the Body Cream first and on drydown it reminded me of very sweet Strawberry Lemonade with a hint of creamyness, it also reminded me of my Strawberry Cupcake doll from my Childhood.
I loved it so much I bought the Lotion and Body Mist too. Then I looked it up on the BBW Website saw that the notes are Blueberry, Madagascar Vanilla and Raspberry Sugar.
Knowing that, it does smell exactly like the description. Its a beautiful mix of Blueberry and Raspberry (which are my fav berries btw) and Vanilla Cream. Absolutely delicious!
I cant imagine anybody not liking this at all. Why BBW discontinued ths I will never understand. All I know is I am getting back up on ebay so Ill never run out !!

SO I'm not sure what's going on but I believe they replaced Berry Vanilla with a Cherry Vanilla scent. I haven't smelt the cherry but I don't like cherry. ANYWHO, I have the Eau de toilette in Berry vanilla and it's sweet and smells like...BERRIES which I love.

I wish and hope that Bath and Body works keeps this in their line! I see it online but never in the store.

i loved this scent past tense because one of my friends will buy several different scents and wear the same one until it runs dry everyday respraying every period of the class day and this is the scent shes sprayed every 50 minutes of our 6 hr school day for the whole school year (2 bottles worth in less than a school year) so its given me quite a headache and stomach turning effect it is a great scent though i will never be able to wear it. i feel so bad too cus i tell her how much it bothers me and she thinks no one can smell it so now when we go shopping together and she picks up a fragrance i own i have to lie and tell her it smells terrible and advise her not to buy it and pray she never smells it on me.

I really wanted to like this scent. I like berries and vanilla. But, this one went on plasticky and fake smelling. I just didn't like it. Had to return it and couldn't stand the smell.

This might just be one of my all time favorite fragrances! That is saying a lot, because I am always switching it up - I am a product junkie, and a B&BW junkie at that - I literally have 2 boxes of B&BW stuff that I rotate through. Berry Vanilla is something I wear all year round.

It smells sooooo good! It smells like the berry smoothie skittles! I for sure smell berries and a creamy base ("vanilla") that all the other summer vanillas have. As another reviewer said, all the scents from this collection are all great layers and mixed & matched. It smells a lot like apricot, and adding lemon adds some tang, perfect for summer. On it's own, I don't really smell the citrus in it. To me it smells straight up berries & cream.

I wear this pared with the lotion, and the scent lasts for hours. This is pretty amazing, usually body mists are light and need to be reapplied. I can still smell this midday, and I get compliments all the time when I wear this. Most people I work with or friends don't usually comment on my perfume, but this one has gotten me some attention on several occasions.

Although you can smell it on, it isn't too strong or over powering. I don't think anyone would be offended or bothered by it. It won't cause headaches. It's just a nice, girly, flirty scent. It's fruity, but not super cheap or fake smelling, not tween-ish. Although, I will admit, it is not the most sophisticated scent. I would wear it to a fancy dinner or in a conservative environment, but for casual use, it's great. I work with kids, and they treat me like a Renuzit when I wear this... I guess that's flattering.

I love all the summer vanillas, exept for the new one, cherry, which I think smells too sweet/fake. I highly recommend getting a few from this collection. I feel like berry is appropriate all year round. I mixed mine with Secret Wonderland during the winter, and coconut or lemon in the summer.

The packing is cute, too. I kind of miss the older packaging, but I think they are trying to appeal to a more mature audience with their simple and sleek look. For someone who has a huge collection like me, It makes it harder to differentiate them from one another. The packing on this one is still simple, but must cuter.

I just hope they don't discontinue this, like the have with everything else I ever fall in love with there. I say, try it!

Out of all the entire Summer Vanilla collection, Berry Vanilla is BY FAR my favorite. I found all the others to be very artificial or offending but this was fresh yet delicious at the same time. This has been compared to another BBW scent, Black Raspberry Vanilla, but I find this one much more pleasing. BRV is too sour and rancid while this is soft and delicious. It's tart berries blended with sewet vanilla whipped cream. I normally don't lean towards gourmand scents but this is definitely a new favorite from BBW!

This smells sweet and musky all at the same time. Very nice scent. Not too overpowering, either.

Berry Vanilla is a nice scent, and I'm sorry to see it go. It doesn't exactly smell like the name implies, but I like it better for that reason. To me, it smells like strawberry lemonade. The lemon never quite fades on my skin, and the vanilla is actually very shy as compared to the other scents in the Vanillas collection. It's a fresh, inoffensive scent perfect for young girls (preteen to high school). It's so yummy when I spray it in my hair, because when I toss my head the scent diffuses around me and I feel so pretty. Good solid light summery scent, but not anything super special.

The scent is weirdly specific to my memory: it smells exactly like raspberry lemonade from Cracker Barrel. (Grew up in the midwest...)

It's a little too candy sweet for me to wear on a regular basis, but I've gotten compliments whenever I've had it on.

I like wearing this layered over the Lemon Vanilla lotion. It creates a strawberry lemonade scent with a nice hint of tartness even though it's still quite sweet and it reminds me of pink and yellow Starburst. I've also layered this with White Citrus and it was a similar effect. I wear Berry Vanilla for fun and probably won't ever wear it to work since it is mostly a sweet and playful scent that some might find strong. This scent just makes me happy. I liked it at first and bought it, then wavered a bit because I thought it was a little too candyish so I returned it. But I found myself craving this and actually re-bought the mist! I really like the simple packaging and the color.
