Victorias Secret Bare Vanilla Shimmer Body Mist 250ml Spray

Disclaimer:I’m in australia and bought this from amazon US and had it shipped to a package forwarding company in the US who then forwarded it to me. It costs a fortune to buy this way but I was keen for this. It also attracted a surcharge on top of the high shipping costs, because flammables sent by air freight have more risk. So it became a very expensive splurge. Despite that, I’m glad I bought this because it’s AMAZING.The scent is absolutely delicious. I had high hopes based on all the reviews around the web, and I am so pleasantly surprised they were met. My goal is to smell like a bakery so I exclusively seek scented products in that realm. (vanilla, caramel, candy, syrup, maple, sugar, buttercream, etc) This product is definitely a win.I am extremely sensitive to ethanol smells and hate inhaling things so I very rarely use any mists or perfumes. I rely on lotions to smell good. But I took a gamble on this anyway. I do smell the ethanol initially and it’s quite strong. But every single perfume or scented mist seems to be like this so it’s just the nature of the product I believe. After letting the product settle on my skin though, that ethanol goes away entirely. All that’s left is a very warm cosy sweet vanilla like melted vanilla syrup. Sweet and warm and absolutely delicious. It’s hard to describe why or how but it really is ‘warm’.Because of how much I paid for this I don’t want to use it every day and let it run out quickly. But it’s 100% going to be a permanent addition to my life, as long as they keep making it.I will admit I don’t love the glitter. Usually I adore anything that makes me sparkle but the glitter in this has a gold or yellow tone to it. It’s not bad; I just prefer silver on my skin. Next time I buy this I will get the non glitter one. I’ve used other glittery products and they must use micah powder I think, because the glitter fragments in those products are so tiny. In this shimmer mist the glitter is a little larger. Not massive like a kids’ craft project though lol so it’s still subtle and nice, but if I was designing this I’d make the fragments silver and smaller. Just personal preference I think.All in all this is amazing and I will buy it again, but hopefully I’ll find a cheaper way next time lol

I really like mist parfumes. The scent doesn’t get to heavy, yet enough to get noticed. This parfume was a gift for my daughter and she loved the scent!

Je connais très bien cette brume , je l’utilise quand je pars en voyage , j’adore , après une journée à la plage , une bonne douche et pour finir un peu de brume dans la peau , c’est si agréable . Aussi bien pour moi que pour mes proches. L’odeur est douce . J’ai pris vanille et j’adore cette odeur , et en plus il y a des petites paillettes c’est très joli sur la peau , je recommande pour l’après douche l’été . C’est agréable de sentir la vanille , n’hésitez pas allez y les yeux fermés.
