I got this three years ago as a Christmas present but I thought it looked cheap so I didn't want to use it. But a while ago I kept trying to look for a vanilla scent and I thought I found it in Amber Romance but then I ran out and since it didn't fit the season [spring/summer] IMO I didn't want to repurchase again.

So here I was looking for a Vanilla scent and two weeks ago when I got a gift set from B&BW I was putting all my scents into the pretty box and I found Vanilla Fantasy under the sink and I just sprayed it on before I went to bed. I woke up and my sheets smelled fantastic. And yesterday my best friend came over and when she walked into my room it smelled like Vanilla Fantasy and she was like "Wow, your room smells really good."

Definately would repurchase. It's a nice sweet Vanilla Scent that lasts a long time.

WOW!! This smells so good! This very similar to Victoria Secret's Vanilla Lace but I think this is more stronger and sweeter which I like. Well I'm not going to buy VS anymore Vanilla Fastasy all they way! OH YEAH!

THe Parfums de Coeur Vanilla scents are fantastic. These beat out Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, and the Body shop every time. These are cheaper and almost identical and can be found at drugstores or discount chains like Walmart and Target. Each scent has a wide range of coordinating products to go with it. The vanilla fantasy scent is a true vanilla scent. Not too foody nor too sweet. The website states that this is a creamy vanilla with hints of jasmine, fresh apples and white musks. The sugar vanilla fantasy scent is a little spicier and identical to Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar. The website calls this "A warm blend of Vanilla orchid blossom with a touch of fresh Coconut milk, Sugar Cane, and a sweet musky mix of Cedarwood and Sandalwood." Both are fantastic. The Shower gel comes in a 7 oz tube and retails for $4.39. Smells great and creates a moisturizing lather. It doesnt last past the shower but what shower gel does? The coordinating body spray comes in an 8 0z bottle and retails for $6.95. The Lotion, Shimmer Lotion, and Scrub are also 7 oz. and retails each for $4.39. The lotions are very moisturizing and last a couple of hours. I cant say they last all day though. There is also a lovely candle in a glass jar which is $8 and smells divine and leaves the vanilla scent through the whole house. This is a great value!

One of my HG vanilla fragrance. It long lasting esp when layered with the body wash and lotion from this line. This line is way better that BBW, it's last longer and it's cheaper.

If you like sweet fragrances, you'll probably enjoy this scent. Personally, I like deeper scents, so this was a little sickening to me.

Incredibly Lovely Scent.
I usually only wear high-end fragrances, however this scent gets the most compliments and I honestly like it so much better than anything out there, regardless of price! Women always ask to copy it, and I just say Vanilla (so I don't let them on to my secret... you buy this from any drugstore!)

I'm not a fan of this. It's almost identical to Victoria Secrets Vanilla Lace. They both smell artificial with a slight plastic undertone. I love Vanilla but this is not for me. It's very boring. Update: I dont know what happened but I decided to give this another try. Just purchased the body spray and love it. Layers well over all of my vanilla and chocolate scented lotions. The staying power is unbelievable.

This is cheap and the scent lasts forever. To me it smells just like vanilla. I get sick of it after a while though and I can't use every day. I put this on and you can smell it for hours after. This is more then I can say about a lot of the higher end perfumes I've used.

I bought this because of the good reviews and I think that body sprays are so light and refreshing. It gave me a headache. And - after reading that someone thought that it smelled like pipe smoke - that's all I could think about. I actually think that the pipe smoke smell is supposed to be apple. I exchanged this for Sugar Vanilla Fantasy and am much, much happier!

i got this for christmas, and later that night both my boyfriend and his mom said, "you smell so good!" i've been wearing it ever since, and everyday that i do, my boyfriend tells me i smell wonderful. aaw. i love it. i spray it lightly into my hair after blow-drying, and around my neck / chest and i find that it lasts all day. i can't smell it after awhile, but everyone else can.

it's lovely; i want to try other scents in this line.

This was one of my first fragrances, and I wore it all through middle school, sometimes mixed with the now-discontinued peach fantasy. I just came back to it recently and it's still awesome. Just a sweet, sugary vanilla, perfect and simple. A fragrance that gets those "something smells good" comments when you walk into a room. Costs $6-$7 for an 8 oz bottle, and has surprisingly good lasting power for such a cheapie spray. I always notice it on my clothes, days later, when I go to wash them. Layers well with spicy things, fruity things, musky things, and other sweet things, too. The matching candle is also lovely.

This really brightens up my day when I put it on. It smells delicious and makes me want cookies. My SO seems to snuggle with me more when I have it on...coincedence, perhaps? :)

I absolutely love anything vanilla, and the fact that this body spray is so affordable makes me adore this fragrance even more. It smells like a very warm creamy vanilla and has great lasting power for a body spray. While most vanilla fragrances have a musky or sugary tone to them, this one is a true foody vanilla. The bottle is also quite elegant in my opinion.

Not only does this inexpensive scent put me in a good mood every morning, but it smells wonderful under a number of fragrances I like - CoCo Chanel, COCO Mademoiselle, Angel, GLOW, Night magic... I wear it daily, and put it on first thing, so my dressing area always smells like sugar cookies. I get compliments all the time on how I smell. This one's a winner!

i LOVE this scent! for some reason it just makes me feel good! i use it all the time! it smells sooo good! it says that it is vanilla, apples, white musk, and jasmine. i really only smell the vanilla, but my boyfriend says he can kind of smell apples. the color of this is kind of ugly(an orange color) but what does that matter? it is very cheap too! i got it for $5 at target! UPDATE: well now i really do smell the pipe smoke thing.. someone even commented on it.. so i no longer wear this:(

Great basic vanilla scent! I got a huge bottle and it was very inexpensive. Lasting power is good. I sprayed some on last night and can still smell it(faintly). This scent is not too foody, not too floral, not too musky. I think it would appeal to a large number of people.
