Almond & Vanilla
by Bath & Body Works
Almond & Vanilla by Bath & Body Works offers a soft, warm, and gently sweet gourmand scent centered around vanilla and almond. It is perceived as delicate, creamy, and nutty with a subtle musky and woody base. The aroma comes across as comforting and cozy, particularly well-suited for autumn and winter wear. Most feel it’s lightly sown on the skin, with a soft trail that's best enjoyed close to the body. The scent is not overly sweet or cloying, making it appealing to fans of softer vanilla and almond compositions. It’s especially praised for its moisturizing qualities when used with the matching body cream, and compared favorably to other BBW scents, even being likened to fall seasonal favorites. However, the scent is generally short-lived, with many noting it fades within hours, and some report it triggers headaches due to its strong sweet-nutty character.
