For all those Vanilla crazies out there, this is THE one deo you do not want to miss. I find that it lasts quite long, but is perfect for a gym bag or trips down to the beach! Great to keep in your powder room if you have guests over! The scent - to me - is not a true vanilla, but a great imitation that's SO close to the real thing! I also find that that it works well with certain fragrances, particularly those with a vanilla base, it enhances the essence of vanilla and ultimately intensefies & compliments the scent.
