Victoria's Secret Bare 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

It smells great! The glitter shows great on the shirt and the scent lasts!

Smells good love the shimmer arrived fast. If you like vanilla highly suggest ordering

makes you smell very nice - a nice light smell of vanilla

Smell so good. It did not disappoint.

This is nice. Im wondering if the regular one is better...the one without shimmer? Idk. Its ok tho. It just doesn't last long. Its pretty tho. Smells fantastic! Its a 8.4 fl Oz bottle. I think i paid $17 and change, so thats not bad. I recommend it. Maybe im nose blind to it, because when it comes to body spray im guilty of spraying a lot.

Excelente aroma me encantó

I really love this scent. I will purchase this again.

¡Muy bonito!, tiene un olor súper dulcecito pero que no marea o molesta, solo que el brillo es muy leve 💞

روعة

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!

Perfect valentine gift, a fav

Muito bom !!!'
