Victoria’s Secret Pink Warm Vanilla Body Mist is My Fall Signature Scent (Maybe!)
Victoria’s Secret Pink Warm Vanilla Body Mist is a new, limited-edition Fall 2023 scent. I thought for sure this would give off Bath & Body Works Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte vibes but I decided to dive in a blindbuy it off the website anyway. And I’m so glad I did because it’s a delightful Fall gourmand that I totally recommend trying out for yourself.
Victoria’s Secret Pink Warm Vanilla Body Mist is currently on sale for $10. I purchased it as well as the body lotion earlier this week on the website. It was a blindbuy for me since my stores didn’t have it in stock and honestly, I’d have been curious about it if I did see it in stores because of the name. But I’d have probably expected it to smell like vanilla if I did see it in stores. I only knew it was a pumpkin scent because someone mentioned it on Tiktok. I mean, Warm Vanilla? It’s just an assumption that you’re getting vanilla but the cinnamon and pumpkin might surprise you if you aren’t looking out for those notes.
As per VS this is a shaved cinnamon, pumpkin cream, and marshmallow fluff scent. Yes, please. I love all that. Pour it on me! Again, no mention of vanilla and guess what? That’s because there isn’t any vanilla! I have no idea where this name comes into place but ok.
Considering Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works belong to L Brands or Limited Brands I expected this scent to be some sort of Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte scent. It’s not. It’s very much its own unique Fall creation and I’m here for that. I do believe I need about two more bottles of the mist and two of the lotion because I’ll cry when this disappears.
This smells beautiful. It has light, toasty, warm cinnamon notes swirled with pumpkin. I don’t get a lot of the marshmallow here! It’s a guest star but it isn’t the star of the show! Pumpkin and Cinnamon are the most prominent note and marshmallow is a light little layer in the background that takes away from the harshness of the cinnamon. It’s warm, it’s cozy, it smells like the quintessential scent of cinnamon, pumpkins, and autumn!
Full disclosure, because you know I’m all about telling you the complete truth. This does NOT last long. I swear I was misting myself to death with it. I layered it with the matching body lotion but I had to APPLY a lot of the mist to create a small scent bubble around me. The scent isn’t super strong (I get it because cinnamon can be irritating in a fragrance) and it doesn’t last terribly long. But really, that’s not a surprise is it? A lot of Victoria’s Secret Body Mists just don’t hang out on my skin very long. I will say after I poured half a bottle on (not really but you get it!) I still got quite a nice little pumpkin cinnamon bubble around me nearly four hours later. It’s just a scent that projects strongly. I still need backups though because I’m addicted to the way this smells on me!
Victoria’s Secret Pink Warm Vanilla Body Mist is available now. This one will be loved by Fall and gourmand lovers a like.
