"I love the original Vanilla but this formula has been altered. It doesn’t last long and the fragrance needs to be reapplied. I’m disappointed it’s not the same from 2023/24 when it was removed. The new formula does not improve the scent - if anything it dilutes it so you waste more product."

Not the same
"The new formula is very different and doesn't smell the same anymore. The vanilla spray has always been popular to the point of selling out store wide. I've used the body shop vanilla body spray for +10 years and now ill have to find a new one. Its very disappointing that they've changed a product that was so popular."
I like this better than the previous vanilla mist
"It smells like cake without leaning too hard into the sweetness. The longevity is good on my skin. If you are expecting the original vanilla oil scent then this is not it. This is its own vanilla icing type scent. Not quite as vanilla icing like as the body butter though"
Vanilla but more vanilla ice cream
"Not the same as the previous vanilla fragrance unfortunately. This has a much sweeter smell."
Vanilla mist
"I have worn The Body shop Vanilla since I was 16. Over 40 years of loving the Vanilla mist from The Body Shop. I got excited when I seen you were selling it again. It was short lived when I received it. Your new recipe is nothing like the original mist I loved and wore for all those years. I for one am seriously disappointed. You have lost a life time customer. Price up, quality down. Well done!"
Highly Disappointed
"I, more than most, was soooooooo excited to hear this was coming back! I patiently waited only to try it today and walk away highly disappointed. Lost is the vanilla scent in a mix of coconut and what smells like shea butter! 😕 Please bring back the nostalgia of vanilla! As a vanilla customer from the 90’s I have hope that this will return!"
Not very vanilla imo
"I was really excited for this and tried it. . . Honestly doesn't smell as vanilla as I thought. It smells like something familiar but not quite sure what. I can't tell if I hate it or sort of like it regardless of the fact that it's not really as vanillary as I had hoped."
Not the original
"I really, really hope the original vanilla comes back. Ive worn it for 20 years now and has always been so popular. I still have a bottle of the perfume oil. Can you please bring it back as I love it and that was my all time favourite and wore it every day."
True natural Vanilla
"The new vanilla body spray is wonderful! Smells like a very true and natural vanilla extract type scent."
Vanilla and creamy
"I had high hopes for this scent and I am in love with it, smells so good! i have been using on top of the body butter and it is a warm cupcake delight, I get compliments from people and I just love it!"
