The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Vanilla by The Body Shop, created by perfumer Marie Duchêne in 2012, is a unisex fragrance that celebrates the warmth and comfort of vanilla. Opening with a powdery sweetness, it gradually evolves into a rich balsamic accord, complemented by subtle spicy notes. This composition captures the essence of something familiar yet deeply comforting, much like the aroma of freshly baked goods.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — the fragrance’s powdery notes will create an immediate warmth, while the balsamic and spicy elements develop gradually over time. It pairs well with cooler weather but can be enjoyed year-round for its comforting aroma.
