Holiday Traditions Review from Bath and Body Works: Vanilla Bean Noel

Hello!
      This will be in four parts! The first part is the Vanilla Bean Noel review. The second part is the Snowkissed Berry review. The third is the Winter Candy Apple review. Lastly, is the Twisted Peppermint review.
     All of these scents are in the same collection which you can buy at Bath and Body Works. Body sprays retail for $12.00, as for lotions and shower gels: $10.50.

The Scent - Very, very sweet. A little bit too sweet? The scent bores me; it's not very unique. Many stores have made a vanilla scent... and it's not something that surprises or catches my eye. Unlike the other three scents; I just don't have a good reaction to this. It doesn't surprise me. It smells like cookies and being near a warm fire; drinking a Vanilla Bean Creme from Starbucks. It's okay but not orignial.


The Quality - All of the Holiday Traditions' scents have the same quality... They last for the same time and are quite long-lasting. They last for (maximum) an hour and a half, according to how much product you apply. If you layer scents; which I will explain in a How To Layer post; it will last for a very long time.


Notes - These are not the website's notes; these are my own. Top = sugar cookies, vanilla, and white musk (by this I meant a very light musky scent; almost like a spice). Mid = vanilla, vanilla bean, and something floral... but it's very, very very light. Base = Hardcore vanilla.


Overall Emotion of this Scent - I don't like it. My favorite scents are the sweet ones but this  is way too sweet. If you are the person that is all about vanilla; and won't go for anything else; go for it!
