Victoria's SecretBare Vanilla Shimmer 8.4oz Mist

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

Love the smell but have to spray on heavy 2times to till smell at. End of the day .i will go back to white diamond. I was short on cash and that’s why I decided to try that but it’s white diamonds for me. I only have to put it on once and not very much at all and it stays all day. I’m coming back to Elizabeth. I’m not one that generally switches fragrance around I stay with one when I find one that I really like and I’ve used white diamonds for many years at least 20 years. So it’s gonna be white diamonds for me. White diamonds is priced really well for 25 now I don’t have the money to spend $50 for a fragrance so it’s white diamonds for me. It smells good and it stays all day with just one spray and it lasts me a long time. I’m a senior and I have to look buying stuff that’s cheaper and more economical and still smell. Smells good all day.

I’ve purchased this scent in the past and immediately fell in love. It is warm and cozy, perfect for a chilly night in or even a romantic date night on hot summer nights. It’s light, sweet but not overtly sweet, and super sexy. The large bottle will last a while and you can’t beat the price. I just purchased it again and tried layering it with this new Arabian perfume and oh my gosh! Beautiful, creamy, warm pineapple coconut! I highly recommend this as a stand alone or for layering!

Love Spell es, sin duda, una de esas fragancias que dejan huella. Desde el primer spray se siente una mezcla deliciosa de flor de cerezo y durazno, dulce pero sin llegar a ser empalagosa. Es perfecta para usar tanto en el día como en salidas casuales, ya que proyecta frescura, feminidad y un toque juvenil encantador. Además, su duración es bastante buena para ser una colonia, y el empaque es precioso y práctico.Me encanta cómo esta fragancia levanta mi ánimo y me hace sentir más segura. ¡Definitivamente, un must-have en mi colección!

Just as I remembered. All these new body mists (Sol, Phlur) made me think of my favorite scents from the 2000’s- and Love Spell was one of them. Glad to find it on Amazon.

I've been wearing this scent for 30 years. I layer it with amber essential oil for my own signature scent. My husband loves the way I smell. At one point, years ago, Victoria Secret quit making this, but quickly brought it back. It's not to heavy and perfumey and a bottle lasts a few years. I'm happy I can buy it on Amazon now.

Velvet Petals se ha convertido en uno de mis body splash favoritos de Victoria’s Secret. Tiene un aroma floral y dulce, pero sin ser empalagoso, ideal para el día a día. Me encanta porque es fresco, delicado y se siente súper femenino. La duración es sorprendente para ser un splash, y siempre recibo cumplidos cuando lo uso. Perfecto para quienes buscan un perfume suave, romántico y elegante. ¡Repetiré sin duda!

I love this scent. I usually wear body oils over perfumes and have a very specific preference when it comes to what kind of scent notes I feel best compliment me.The construction of the bottle is better than others with a thicker cap that ensures that it won't leak in your purse or crack like regular plastic caps. Very sexy, feminine, and cozy scent that I feel is appropriate for any age, but does come off as more of an 'autumn' aroma, though I wear it all year around.Like most body mist, it's not a perfume so it's not formulated to have the same effectiveness or spray density of scent but it does have a bit more staying power than other body mist in the same arena of pre-luxury. Bottle size is standard for body sprays. I use it after the shower and it lasts most of the day with one more application around lunch and good to go. My favorite of the Victoria's Secret line of scents.
