Just bought this a few days ago. Love the scent. Just wish it lasted longer. Will probably re-buy again and maybe get the lotion too.

I love Bath & Body Works products, but this one is not my absolute favorite. It foams up well in the shower, but I need to use quite a lot of it for the scent to stay on my skin. It does smell really good though... not your typical vanilla.

This is my go-to winter body wash! I have been using this since high school and I never get tired of it! I love the scent in the shower gel form. It is creamy, sweet, and cozy. It lathers great and I feel very clean after using it. The price is a little steep, but totally worth it. I love this and will buy it forever!

I wouldn't call this the best shower gel out there, but I would call it the best average shower gel on the market. I do really love the smell of the warm vanilla sugar line, but the smell is the defining feature. Unfortunately, this defining feature doesn't last long. The smell is barely noticeable outside your shower -- if it's even still there, that is. The shower gel is okay, nothing fantastic. It does its job at washing you. There just isn't anything amazing about this. I did say I would buy this product again, but only because it's a very so-so thing. If running low on my other shower gels, I'd give this a go once more, but it's not my first choice. It's okay to give it a try, but if you do, don't expect much.

I love this scent line. I have the shower gel, body lotion and body spray. It's such a warm vanilla as the name suggests. It's not overly sweet, or fake smelling.

I have this in the shower cream, not the gel, and figured this was the next best place to review. I really like this scent...I was looking for something sweet but not sickeningly sweet- and the name is quite fitting since it is warm and sugary! It's not your typical vanilla, cake-y fragrance (which I usually like), but that's what draws me to it. I definitely use it a lot in my shower collection! It will be a regular from now on.

The best BBW scent. My long time go to shower gel. Picked up on sale often so it is dirt cheap. Just a fabulous product. I love the basmati and vanilla. I cannot say enough great things about it.

I Love this shower gel sooo sooo much. It has such a calm, soothing effect. It smells so good, it really does smell like vanilla which is why Im having a difficult time understanding the negative posts on this product but everyone has their own tastes. My mom likes it but not as much as other scents, so its a personal thing. Warm Vanilla Sugar is hands down my fav bbw scent! yum!

I actually received this product as a gift, and while I am not initially a vanilla scent person, the scent smelled good! I was soon disappointed while using the gel in the shower because the scent soon evaporated. It didn't linger much at all. I prefer to have stronger bubble bath. I have had similar experiences with Bed & Body Works products.

This is one of only a couple scents that BBW still carries in their stores that I like! I have liked and used this for years, I have been known to use year round but more so in the colder months. It's a cozy scent and it smells great. It's different than say Fresh Vanilla but still nice nonetheless. It's on the sweeter side but not overly so, just perfect for me. I have lots of BBW scents and this is among the most used. I will continue to buy as long as they keep making it, I was sold on the first sniff!

This shower gel is the one I always go back to. It's relatively inexpensive, has an amazing scent (not just an ordinary vanilla, but something truly unique!), and it is very gentle on my skin. I even use it as a shampoo and it leaves my highlighted hair feeling soft and clean. This gel leaves absolutely no icky residue on the skin. It does leave a lovely faint scent that you can still smell hours after your shower. The scent on this is so elegant, I wouldn't mind if it lingered all day!

I just got this for Mother's Day in a large gift basket. I love vanilla and was so disappointed in this. I smell no vanilla whatsoever and it also is not moisturizing at all. I also got the body spray (use this before bed) the lotion (okay, nothing special) the candle (no smell at all). Not pleased with any of the BBW vanillas!

Where's the vanilla scent in this? From the title, it sounds like it should be a sweet, comforting bath gel- a foody scent- but I don't get that. It is mildly masculine to me (fine), but I really don't think it smells good at all. Yuk...this isn't for me.

One of my favorite scents from B&BW. It is a staple in my shower. When I want a comfort scent I go for this product.

Originally had a so-so opinion on this but after using it more often, I finally liked it! Not to be used on days when you want a pick-me upper type of scent. Best for a night time shower because the scent is warm and comforting. Wish the scent lasted longer...

I love washing with this soft soothing scent right before bed. It's comforting to my nose for some reason. I can't really smell the sandalwood but I can smell the nice mixture that the vanilla and rice makes. I don't think I would want to smell like this during the day necessarily but right before bed it is the best.
