Instyle Fragrances | Body & Hair Mist | Tahitian Vanilla Scent | With Panthenol | CLEAN, Vegan, Paraben Free, Phthalate Free | Premium 8 Fl Oz Spray Bottle

The Tahitian Vanilla scent is really nice. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, after reading other reviews. It's an amber vanilla- like VERY amber, not sweet. So if you're expecting a sugary sweet scent, this isn't it. However it is nice & it layers well with other scents, if you're into doing that. I want to also talk about the Marshmallow Cloud scent because IDK if the site will let me review it separately. Everyone seems confused & cannot put their finger on what that strong top note is. Here's the thing; it's black licorice! While not mentioned in the fragrance notes, it's definitely there. The first time I smelled it I was so shocked & I HATED it, as I strongly dislike black licorice. I was so bummed! Then I smelled my arm again after a few minutes & it was barely there. After the fragrance had time to settle, (as they do) it smelled delicious & I kept going back & spraying myself. Each time - yuck! Black licorice scent at first spray & each time, after it settled I kept thinking how great it smelled! This was a confusing situation & I can tell from other reviews that I'm not alone. It reminds me of a certain bubble gum as a kid, (not the scent of bubble gum). If you're old enough to remember a certain bubble gum that was individually wrapped & had a funky powder on the outside but once you started to chew the hard gum & the powder dissolved & the gum softened - that is exactly the experience that this reminds me of! If you can get past that initial few minutes of weird black licorice scent, (& you'll get used to it) the Marshmallow Cloud spray is incredible! It's a complex, evolving scent & no, it doesn't smell exactly like marshmallows but it does smell insanely delicious, (a bit like rock candy) & I'm already on a second bottle of it after about 2 months! (I have probably 30 different fragrances in rotation, so it's saying a lot that I went through so much of it so fast). It is much sweeter than Tahitian Vanilla & layers really well with other scents as well. I just ordered more so that I won't run out. It's so yummy!

I was clearly sent someone's return because the cap was completely missing and there was residue from the small clear sticker that keeps the cap on (which remained on the bottle from when the cap was removed). When depressing the silver nozzle, the spray immediately dispersed (not requiring a few pumps to get the liquid through the sprayer when something in a spray is new). In addition, the laminated label was scuzzy, requiring a Lysol wipe to clean it off. The cost of things is already out of control, so when forking over $ for an item you don't really need, receiving it in NEW condition without these types of issues (based on carelessness) should be the standard. Regarding the scent, I spritzed a bit on a tissue and it lands VERY alcohol-y (like alcohol-based vanilla extract). When it dries, it does offer a nice, warmer "vanilla sugar" type of fragrance. The top cannot simply be screwed off, so I don't believe the liquid was tampered with. I might use a screwdriver to pry off the top and pour it into a smaller (CLEAN) spray bottle from the drug store so this isn't a total waste. All in all, the smell is lovely but this is too much frustration and work for $10, I can tell you that (and no, I'm not spending more time and $ on gas to drop this off at an Amazon drop off point to return it). You have to do better if you want to keep your customers around.

Good smell for the price. Good for sensitive skin, but not Super sensitive skin. Lasts a really long time. I use this with baking soda instead of deodorant. Very pleasant smell. Everyone likes it. It's not overbearing. Smells sweet and a little musky. Very neutral scent.

Great body mist for everyday use. Fresh and light. I spray after shower. Value for the money is great. I wear this daily. Scent is not over powering.

Didn't know I was ordering a dupe. It smells like the Sand and Fog one, but as soon as you spray it on, it goes away right away and you can't smell it anymore even when you spray it on your clothes
