Comments on: A Lot of Thanks, Some Vanilla, a Little Leather http://scentzilla.com/2006/05/22/a-lot-of-thanks-some-vanilla-a-little-leather/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

I don't think they advertise it well, and when I went onto the EB site to find a picture, those fragrance products weren't there. It'll be interesting to hear what you think of them. LotionBarBunny - that's a lovely idea. Others have mentioned doing this again later on this year, so we'll be doing something again I'm sure. Andy, my little doggie is getting older (he's turning ten this year) so he sleeps an awful lot nowadays, heh. Thanks. The stuff Britney herself said seems to have been said on the fly, but I don't doubt she felt she was being sincere. Alas, I simply wonder if she has ever smelled "her" own fragrance. Rory - THANK YOU! It was killing me trying to remember what on earth that fourth one was. A Vanille Pomme - huh, much more interesting that I thought it was. I rather like those Dumont cheapies, too, especially the Vanille Chocolat body wash, since it layers well with Angel without being as expensive as Angel's ancillary products. Victoria, I had the opposite happen. It lasted forever on me. Well, come to think of it, maybe it just SEEMED like forever. Anya, that is a great idea. I don't know what I would ever do with a family crest, but now I want one just so I can stick a wee wiener dog prominently across the top of one. March, eh, some folks are just super sick of vanillas. I'm not exactly, but I simply do not care for all of them. ANd thanks. Thanks Laura, that's so nice of you to say. And Casper is an awesome doggie, too :) Sali, ew BO??? Yeeep. Boy am I glad that did not happen. It was already a "scrubber" to begin with anyhow. Gigi, I think you might be right about a later Coconut one, too... that sounds vaguely familiar to me as well. I only barely remember when the CSPs came out, but then I probably paid little mind, since I had, like, NO money at the time. Ayala, I didn't know about the Alyssa Ashley, that's good to know. I guess I can see the appeal in the Britney line for people who enjoy super-sweet scents. I am simply not one of those.

Coco-Vanille scent. It's alcohol free for the summer. And it costs only $10. I was very underimpressed with In Control as I was with the other scents of the same lady, but they are all wearable, even if not original. More wearable than many other celebrity scents. “In Control” smells like Alyssa Ashley’s (new?) Coco-Vanille scent. It’s alcohol free for the summer. And it costs only $10.

I was a VS store manager when the line came out, and I remember thinking to myself during our product information meeting that the company was knocking off Comptoir Sud Pacifique (which I loved and wore then). When I finally got to smell the samples, I remember being so thrilled -- because, honestly, I didn't like either of our fragrances then (it was just Victoria and Rapture at the time) and we were "highly encouraged" to wear our scents while at work. Anyway, there was Musc, Pomme, Caramel, Abricot, and I think a Coconut (?) too. I still have my bottle of Musc -- only because my staff gave me that as part of my goodbye present when I left the company. It still smells pretty good!

Vanille Tonka is really nice if you like smoky scents (it's a bit warm and base-y to me). Britney In Control smelled to me like a cross between the musk in Curious plus Fantasy. It smelled as bad on me as Fantasy does, unfortunately. There's something about the patchouli + fruity tartness that turns on me like BO. Good luck with the move and congrats w/ Benev. Blogging.

I agree completely about the Amarige Harvest. What a gorgeous thing it is. Good luck with the move!

And the dog -- love dem hot dogs, my brother actually had a family crest tricked with to incorporate them. I'm totally ignorant of the vanillas you cite, but I will be enjoying some Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream tonight.

I am laughing over your experience with Britney Spears. I guess that in my case, it simply does not last long enough for me to dislike it. It is just so bland. Congrats on such an impressive sum!

I know because I only just threw mine out after forgetting about it since 1995. It wasn't as sweet as the others and the apple note was green and a little sour. I think these sold for about $14.00,and were ahead of their time, but now live on in the Laurence Dumont cheapies (one of these is a copy of the VS Vanilla Caramel).
