LUSH | Vanillary perfume

 LUSH Vanillary - £6.50

New year.. new scent! (yes, i'm a bit late but its only February!)

I just turned 23 and one of my presents this year was the Vanillary solid perfume from LUSH. 

To me, this is what LUSH stores smell of.. its the scent that draws me in if i'm walking past! LUSH describes Vanillary as "The sweet and sensual real vanilla and jasmine absolutes are supported by the burnt caramel-like scent of tonka bean in this delicious perfume" and I can only agree. Words cannot express how good it smells but its not at all overpowering. I don't enjoy scents that once sprayed you cant really breathe anything else (does that make sense)! Vanillary is definitely not like that. If you've ever owned  and loved the discontinued LUSH Heavanilli massage bar its smells just like that, which I think is the reason I really like it. 

What really impressed me though was its longevity. I've read countless reviews of people claiming a perfume will last all day and night, and regardless of the amount of money i've spent, i've still yet found one! However, I applied Vanillary at 7am before I set off to university in snowy and windy conditions, and I could still smell it at 6pm once I was back home (yes, it a very long day!). I was kindly given the solid version, but it does come in atomiser and spritzer forms, which I wouldn't mind trying either. I quite like the solid though; it easily fits in my handbag and I know it wont break, unlike a glass bottle. You can apply it anywhere and I tend to rub it on my neck and wrists. 

As somebody who doesn't really mix up perfumes often, i've really been enjoying Vanillary at the moment.

It may even become my new signature scent!
