It's a really sweet vanilla scent that isn't too strong to give me headaches. I spray this mostly in the winter because I just love the smell in the winter. It lasts about 1-3 hours after I squirt it a couple of times. The price is okay too.

As a lover of gourmand scents, I really don't love Warm Vanilla Sugar the way I ought to. As another reviewer aptly put it, the scent is just too basic. There really isn't any body to this fragrance. It isn't a cake-y, frosting-y vanilla. It just smells faintly like vanilla extract and mostly like sugar. To be frank, this smells a lot like vanilla vodka to me. While I enjoy my Stoli, I do not want to smell like booze. I can appreciate this scent on others, but it just isn't worth the credit it gets. I can't take myself seriously wearing most B&BW scents and this is no exception. I would consider a hand lotion or something in this fragrance but that's about it.

This is a warm, creamy vanilla with a musk undertone. This has been a staple in the BBW line for years and it never caught my attention, despite many samples and spritzes until now. I had to grow up into this lovely, sensual scent. This will not turn heads when you enter a room...rather it is an intimate, subtle scent that begs you to get closer. I imagine a significant other or a loved one catching this comforting fragrance while in an embrace. It's as if this fragrances hovers ever so slightly above your skin, leaving those who are lucky enough to experience it wanting more.

I currently have the mini lotion and mini spray, but I plan on buying the full size when the colors turn and the weather cools. Just wonderful.

This has a pretty smell, however, its over powered by the prevalence of alcohol. You can't even really appreciate the smell of this because of the strong smell of the alcohol. the scent is also not long lasting at all. I do love the fragrance in of itself, so what I do is purchase the dupe fragrance from a supplier and add the fragrance to a little jojoba oil. This keeps my skin moist and conditioned without having to smell the alcohol and I can control the depth of the smell and how strong it is. Plus its a super cheap alternative to continuing to buy the actual BBW fragrance over and over again.

Ugh this body spray is probably the most annoying scent in my opinion. It's incredibly cloying and can be smelled from across a large room. A co-worker of mine started wearing this last winter. At first I kind of liked it.
Then the headaches set in. I never have had such a strong negative physical reaction to a fragrance in my life. Perhaps if it were toned down A LOT then it wouldn't be so bad?

Love this scent. Brings back so many memories. Its such a cozy, warm, sweet scent. It smells very much like vanilla but it also has notes of caramel in my opinion. its not a scent that i wear everyday, i usually wear it on those lazy days where i just want to smell girly and sweet.

This has been one of my favorite scents since I was introduced to it years ago. It is so warm and sweet, great to cuddle up with. It's a very memorable scent as well. However, it is not very sophisticated. I still love it but I wouldn't wear it every day. I'd recommend this for teenagers- I wore this all through my teenage years and my boyfriend of several years STILL can't imagine me with any scent besides this one no matter how hard I try to branch out! However, after a year or two it does take on a very chemical-like smell, so I'd suggest buying a smaller version (if you don't use it constantly.)

When I was 16 or so I loved candy sweet scents. But over time this just doesnt make my heart flutter anymore. The lasting power is not very good and when I use it now I just feel like a walking Willy Wonka factory. Its good as a starter scent for younger girls or people who cannot tolerate heavy scents. My aunt is that way and I use this around her and family and get compliments.

I love this scent. I use it everyday. I keep a travel size version in my purse too. Very warm and classic, but also refreshing. Doesn't give me a headache either, as most scents do for me.

I really like the warm, yummy scent of this! On a cold winter day, this is like a bottle of heaven! Not too sweet or head-ache inducing for me, so I really like it! Works niceley with my natural smell. I definatley will rebuy when it runs out! Though I do like my Festive Vanilla Fig better than this, but still great!

This is a creamy scent. It is not a sweet, sugary vanilla. It could be compared to a maple vanilla but not in a gross, foody way. This is almost like a skin scent, to me. It is lovely and unobtrusive yet mildly warm, making it a good scent for fall/winter and a great scent for those who don't want a perfume, for whatever reason.

I love this product. I wore it 4-5 years ago and my friend loved it. He was suprised when he saw it was from bbw. He thought it was an expensive perfume.
I just got a new bottle and it smells even better and more complex. It's a light creamy vanilla with a musk and hints of florals.
I love it and I love gourmond scents. It lasts pretty long too.

I would never buy this for myself. I remember when I was a teenager i wore this becuase my grandma gave me the lotion and spray as a christmas gift. I seemed to like it ok then but now whenever I smell it it smells different. Maybe they changed the formula years ago??

I smell the vanilla alright but it's not a vanilla frosting or cookie scent. It kinda smells like it you mixed vanilla extract with play dough. Not a sophesticated scent but it's not the worst thing I have ever smelled. I think its an ok scent for a highschool or middle school girl.

I bought this a while ago on a friend's recommendation and for some reason I just didn't like it. The vanilla scent was too overwhelming and plasticky to me. Well three years later, I don't know if it aged or it my body chemistry changed but I love it now! I can spritz it all over, it's never too much. It feel so warm and cozy on. Just pure lovely vanilla. I'm tempted to buy more for my stash but I'm interested in trying bodycology's which i've heard good things about too.

This is a great everyday scent. I love anything that has vanilla notes in it. The only thing I dislike about this smell is the new formula. It smells like a very artificial vanilla extract. It's so sticky and it gives me a headache. Warm Vanilla Sugar is a great body splash, just hang on to the old formula if you have it.

Hmm.. As my tastes have changed over the years I used to HATE this scent. Fast forward a few years and I wanted to give it a try.. Well it's sweet very sugary smell and okay at times bc sometimes it can give me a headache. It's very warm and when compared to the body lotion which smells very bad, I'd say give this one a shot during the winter. Its a bit to sugary cookie sweet for summer but hey.. Whatever floats your boat. It's okay for me.. Don't think I would purchase a big bottle but deff would purchase a travel sized one.

I don't like the new packaging of these products at all. Warm vanilla sugar is a decent scent but my problem with the spray is that the smell is really strong when i initially spray it on. I have to hold my breath when I spray it otherwise I will sneeze. It literally happens every time with this fragrance and not others, so I know its this particular scent. It doesn't have a long lasting power but none of the body splashes that I've tried do.
