I agree with the previous reviewer to a certain extent: it does start out quite synthetic and alcohol-pungent. But once it calms down, it’s a nice take on a traditional vanilla scent. I accidentally mixed this with Choc and what do you know? They are delightful apart, and even more wonderful together! Longevity is alright, but I can see having to go to town with the sprayer to get it to last a good part of the day.

I don’t know if I ended up with a bad bottle, but it’s really awful. I was expecting vanilla and ended up with something that I can’t even find any vanilla in.
All hairspray smell in alcohol level (to the point of being worse than the most alcohol rich body spray that reeks of it) and in scent. It smells literally even under the alcohol (which I still smell an hour later, but not as intensely as at first) like old fashioned hairspray from the 80’s.
It’s very soapy (if you like soapy you might like this, it’s good as far as soapy scents go, and not too harsh or sharp) with a hint of powder and citrus (maybe lemon, but a very soft lemon that’s not sharp). It’s clean and fresh but not overly harsh for a soapy scent. But for a vanilla scent, it’s harsh.
There’s a very soft, light floral note as well. I hate florals overall, but it’s not bad in this one nor overly floral, more of a hint of a soft green note that’s botanical but not harsh.
I would not know there was vanilla in it on sniffing it. It’s not there for me at all. If you wanted vanilla, skip it. I am amazed anyone smells it in there at all.
It reminds me a little of DKNY Cashmere Mist (not a dupe, but it has something in it similar but this is softer) or one of the Philosophy “Graces” (the one with the slight green note, that was softer than the others, I can’t remember if it was Pure Grace or Baby Grace). It would fit right in with them as a softer one. That would have been my guess for what it was if blind sniffing a Philosophy “clean” scent.
If someone wanted a clean, slightly soapy, fresh soft powdery (and I do love soft powdery scents, but not the other notes in this) skin scent with a hint of citrus (just a hint, I hate citrus and it’s not overwhelming on drydown) and really soft botanicals (it gets a bit “green” smelling in the green notes as it drys down more and is fairly green smelling).
If it were just the powder notes without the green notes in the drydown, even with no vanilla, I might like it.
It’s just not for me at all, but if you like that sort of scent and can get past the overwhelming alcohol at first, it’s not bad.
I even double checked that my bottle box and bottle said vanilla and the color matched, because this is not at all a vanilla scent, at least in my bottle.

The first sniff is divine: straight-up vanilla ice cream, rich and creamy and custard-y, with a delicious, round vanilla note. On my skin, it melts away very quickly, and after a few minutes I don’t smell vanilla, just a bit of play-doh sweetness. The opening is so yummy, though, and the bottle so cheap it’s not a loss by any stretch.

I was really surprised by this scent, actually it’s really well done. I came back one day later to get this tiny bootle on my own. I am gonna keep this one in my hand bag to refresh during the day. It’ll mix easily with some of my cold season perfumes. Perfect for dark and wet autumn days.
P.S. Definitely not a long lasting one but it’s fully understandable for this price tag.

First of all: The whole H&M fragrance thing is amazing . Huge range – something for anybody. Prices are amazing, the bootles are cute and original , and the fragrances are to die for. Im really so pleased. Lasting power, projection – A+ all over the line. Highly impressed and immediately bought 7 different. This smells very vanilla (obviously!) but like a true vanilla , as the Spice , not the sugary Victoria’s Secret or Body Shop Christmas candy sugar sweet vanilla . Great simple scent – also very nice to blend or amp up other fragrances with .
