    The St Ives vanilla body wash is DIVINE. I use it all the time I used to have the soy milk & vanilla Avon body wash and liked that one, too

    I don't know about the Body Shop sprays, but I do know that their vanilla oil was reformulated a while ago and now, instead of smelling like sweet, delicious creamy vanilla, it now smells like new car scent - a real disappointment I can't wear it any more!

    Yep, hard core St Ives Vanilla fan here - love love love that creamy fragrance. They do a moisturiser in the same scent too.

    AngeArt - I sometimes have trouble finding it but when I do, Priceline *always* has it.

    Glamourcide - yep I've stopped using the Bodyshop Vanilla perfume after Oreal took over and put their nasty nasty smell in it. However about 2 years later, I found an old bottle with dregs of the REAL STUFF in it, I was in raptures until that ran out.

    Am toying with the idea of mixing up my own formulation using natural vanilla beans. Hmmmmm

    Sorry for the delay in coming back!

    I'm sure that I could splurge for Christmas... After all, it is for me that we're talking about!

    Glamourcide; WHAT! What do you mean they changed the vanilla oil? OMG, I hope they didn't change the spray! Mine is at least six years old (I didn't use it for a long time!), so I hope its still the same scent! I had another vanilla body spray about twelve years ago, which I got from a chemist, which was also really rich smelling. Maybe I'll just have to look around.

    I used St Ives vanilla moisturiser about ten years ago I think, so can't really remember it, but will give the wash a go at least when I start to run low. Or maybe I'll just get it now...

    Thanks for all the feedback! Most appreciated.

    The changeover in Vanilla fragrance happened well before the takeover and had nought to do with it. I had customers screaming the house down but luckily I managed to source a heap of the old one to keep them all happy....for awhile anyway.
