I used to smell exactly like this in high school/early college. The Body Shop had vanilla perfume oil and this is exactly what it smelled like, vanilla with a touch of amaretto/almond/cherry-ish twist. I mean, this is EXACTLY what Body Shop Vanilla smelled like. It brought to mind standing in line at the registrar's office, and some guy a couple of people behind me remarking for like 20 minutes that someone must be baking cookies, and he was starving. Not quite as complex as the other BPAL scents I've tried, it's pleasant but rather bourgeois. Not a sexy woman scent. Too many associations with that early 90s vanilla craze for me.

This is probably my new signature scent. Makes me feel very feminine, soft and sultry. It smells a bit powdery on me, must be my chemistry. It's well-blended, light orange blossoms, something powdery and very slightly musky, sweet but not cloying or girlish. Just the essence of femininity, warm and womanly and confident. And I was beating men off with a stick, total strangers at a bar were brushing back my hair to lean in and smell my neck. I generally prefer something a bit more oriental and musky as my sexy, night on the town scent, but I can't deny the male response I got from this. And it's not aggressively "on the prowl," so I can wear it to work, too.
