This was a gift and for some reason I hadn't gotten around to using it. I love the scent and it lathers really nicely. I love using it in the bath on a poof rather than as a body wash in the shower. Really nice!

This smells amazing I'm a huge vanilla fan and when I saw this at TBS I just hadto have it I use this and then use the vanilla body lotion and then the body mist its a really warm cozy true vanilla smell that does not smell artificial or to over sweet its just perfect I just wish the bottle was bigger it's so tiny,but otherwise I would purchase this again a staple for any vanilla fans out there!

I LOVE this shower gel! The scent is just lovely, it lathers well and the scent lingers on you all day. On the downside it´s a little bit pricey if you consider the bottle last less than a month. The package sucks, the plastic bottle is to hard to squeeze and it´s imposible to get the gel out when it´s almost finished, but I love the scent so much I would buy this again, and again. It makes a treat out of your bath. Definitely HG shower gel.

luve the smell, a cookie sweet vanilla bakery scent wafting in the air of my shower room. nice orangey-yellow colour too. gotta be my favorite TBS showergel scent! and i've tried moringa, passionfruit, olive, peach, shea, satsuma.....Vanilla is the best in my opinion. slight smell still lingers on my skin hours after my bath. Not a fan of the vanilla body lotion though. Nice stuff.

i can't get enough of this one. the vanilla scent is very warm and makes you feel happy, but it's still fresh and the scent stays all day.
if you have one of those shower sponges the gel is really rich.

HG shower gel. Not going back to anything else. I adore sweet smelling products and this is utterly delicious to the nose. It lathers up well in the shower and doesn't give me any reactions (and I've got pretty sensitive skin). It lingers on the body and isn't overwhelming. My boyfriend doesn't like perfume too much so I don't wear it unless we're going out to a super luxurious event, but the other day he said he actually liked the perfume I had on... but I wasn't wearing any so it must've been the shower gel :). It's always a bonus when the boyfriend likes the smell of the shower gel.

I only have one con. The bottle is hard to squeeze when you're tired...

I got a tiny size of this and am contemplating buying a full size one. It smells great (if you like vanilla that is), is kind to the skin and isn't too expensive.

I got this as a free sample and i was pleasantly suprised. I like vanilla anyway and this smelt really good. It foamed up really well on a shower puff and made me feel clean without drying my skin out.

I first received this product in a mini size, and since have repurchased the larger size, along with the lotion and the EDT. This is my favorite shower gel. It just smells sooooo good, if you are a vanilla or a sweet-scent fan, you must try this. I love the smell of their vanilla and this is such a pick-me-up in the shower. This vanilla isn't overwhelming in the heat, it's balanced enough where you can use it year round. I reach for the gel even more often than the lotion. Doesn't dry out my skin, I love TBS's gels. Love it!!!!

Love this product. Its a thick, honey like texture that smells irresistably sweet. I love the vanilla scent. Its more of a gel then a soap and smothers on for a designer feel. The smell lasted for AGES! Thumbs up to my showering HG!

i like vanilla scent/smell very much. natural and warm. good for all seasons. foam very well and you could shave. everything is ok but the showergel isnt something special and dry out my skin a little bit, but that's not that bad. you survive it:) cleanse well, everything is ok...so four lippies.

I don't like The Body Shop (too many reasons to list). I don't like scented products (my nose and skin are very sensitive). I don't like gels (prefer creams). Yet for some reason, I can't get enough of this vanilla shower gel! Luckily I received it as a gift b/c I would have never bought it for myself. Lathers well, smells nice without being too strong, moisturizes my skin without irritation. My one complaint is how the flip-up cap often has sharp edges on the plastic and I almost always scratch myself.

Got it in a little bag with lipgloss, coconut body butter and vitamin e face cream when I bought other stuff.
I don't like the vanilla perfume so I didn't have high expectations on this product. But I actually bought a fullsize bottle later! The vanilla scent is very light and it lasts longer compared to other TBS shower gels I've tried.

This smells very close to the oil to me - sweet, butterscotchy. Lathers very well and is quite concentrated, so you really do get your money's worth. Because I connect scents to specific experiences, I can't wear a single TBS vanilla product these days - it brings me back to a miserable working experience - but I wish I could, because the scent really is pretty. If you're a vanilla fan, you should consider this.

I love this shower gel. It is my favorite from Body Shop. You can also use some the gel as bubble bath. If you like a scent that isn't too strong, vanilla may be for you.

OH my god. This stuff is the nectar of the gods. First off, the smell is amazing. its not so much a foody vanilla, nor is it a vanilla flower vanilla..its right in the middle. theres some musky type of thing going on, i usually don't like musks at all but it just works...and theres sort of a citrusy thing going on in the background of it, just barely there, but it fits in perfectly. On my next trip to TBS im definately getting the lotion. second, the gel itself is very gentle, i have very dry skin so i don't want something that will suck yet more moisture out of my skin. This makes me feel clean without feeling dry. you definately get your money's worth both for the quality and amount of this product, dropping $20 on the big bottle lasts me around 7 to 8 months, and i shower every single day. works out to about $3 a month. very very worth it.

Great, affordable shower gel that smells great, and isn't too overpowering. Makes me feel a bit like a vanilla ice-cream after a shower, and an application of body lotion. Warm, inviting scent that's easy to wear.

My favourite shower gel with REAL, warm vanilla aroma!

(PS. I hate nauseating and migraine causing artificial vanilla products)
