After smelling and purchasing all things vanilla and none of them like The Body Shop Original Vanilla Oil from the 90's, I found this product and first received a sealed zip-lock type bag and a small cloth saturated with the scent so I could smell before I bought. Within a matter of days the message exchange, I opened my mailbox lid and could smell from within a sealed envelope and sealed zip bag my long awaited, The Body Shop, Original Vanilla Oil scent!. Before I even touched the envelope, I knew it was the scent! The Original Vanilla scent is different from any other vanilla as to me it has an organic, pure smell, with no hint of alcohol, floral notes, spices or any other smell to distract from the true vanilla scent. If I had to describe it, it would be like white or yellow baked cake, cake batter, vanilla icing or something else that has a pure base of vanilla baking. As someone with a heighten sense of smell, I don’t do well with the majority of perfumes or chemical smells. This oil is fabulous as it’s long lasting, subtle, yummy and none offensive to those sensitive to smell.Read full review

I was originally disappointed that this was not the original vanilla that I was hoping to replace, and does have a bit of the ‘chemical’ or ‘alcohol’ smell on initial application. However it dissipates after a few minutes, leaving only the vanilla smell. It is not quite as rich of a vanilla aroma as my original, but I have decided to keep it as next best thing.

This is not the body shop vanilla oil, it does not even resemble the smell of vanilla, and is a bright red in colour. Stung both my wrists! I was under the impression I was purchasing the very sweet smelling, baked cookie gorgeous vanilla from late eighties mid nineties, which I was assured by email. What a big let down. Lost £100. Devastated.
