I had read about the Lavanila line, but I didn't find myself all that curious about these fragrances. On my skin, "natural" fragrances usually smell like perfume oils you can purchase at grocery markets. Vanilla in fragrances seemed to be so overdone, I couldn't imagine that something with a dull, basic name like "Vanilla Grapefruit" would be unique, and lovely! During this cold rainy season, I always crave vanilla fragrances, particularly dry, woody ones. Last week I was sniffing fragrances at Nordstrom and I came across the Lavanilas (on display with the Carons...which seemed odd). I was excited to find something I hadn't already tried, so I sprayed test strips with each of the Lavanilas. Immediately, Pure Vanilla enchanted me (it reminds me very much of an old favorite, La Maison de la Vanille Noire du Mexique, so I sprayed it on my wrists to see if it would smell good on me. I found myself loving it, and I kept being drawn to the paper strip of Vanilla Grapefruit. I now own both (purchased here), and I received a free travel sized Vanilla Coconut lotion with my order. Vanilla Grapefruit is along the lines of Fresh Sugar Blossom, but has grapefruit instead of lemon. It's really much prettier than the Sugar Blossom. Vanilla Grapefruit smells like a "perfume" not just a body product scented with fruit and vanilla. It's light, sweet, slightly floral, and quite feminine. It's not a scent for children, and it's not a bubble gum/cotton candy scent like the ones often detectable on young teenagers. The grapefruit notes aren't bitter, just bright, and the vanilla is definitely not "spun sugar"-type vanilla. It's dry and sugary without being syrupy. I've found the Lavanila fragrances to have excellent lasting power on my skin; the Pure Vanilla is one of the longest lasting scents I own. (I own a LOT of fragrances). I'm impressed with this line, because it managed to make me more open to the idea that natural fragrances may work for me, and it proves that not all vanillas are made for junior high dances!

After all the reviews I felt I had to try this fragrance. I recently had a baby and it totally changed my body chemistry as well as my desire to smell so much like perfume.
I found the vanilla notes to be too sweet and immature, the grapefruit too tart. The combination on my skin smelled as though I put on a cheap perfume and forgot to wear deodorant. At first the smell was interesting and light, but as the day continued the smell got stronger, heavier and more pungent.
Using it as an oil, it is more likely to react with your body chemistry and body heat. It obviously didn't react well with mine, but it may for someone else.
Other than that, the bottle is convienent for putting in your bag, the roller ball worked well, the scent lasted through the day and it is a unique fragrance that if it complimented your body chemistry, would garner many compliments by those who got close.

Comments about Lavanila Laboratories The Healthy Fragrance, Vanilla Grapefruit, 1.7 oz:
Woah, let me warn you: Buying this product might make you look like a crazy person because you'll want to constantly smelling yourself. I first tried this when I got a sample of it. But I was like, "grapefruit? Really? With Vanilla?" I was prepared to wash it off, but it smelled better than anything I've smelled-- pretty much ever. I now own the large bottle of perfume to spray on every day at home as well as a small roll-on for my purse for a refresh at the end of the day. I'm madly in love with it!
Comments about Lavanila Laboratories The Healthy Fragrance, Vanilla Grapefruit, 1.7 oz:
This fragrance is truly remarkable. I got this as a gift. At first, I was disappointed when I received it because I am not a huge fan of vanilla based products. But as soon as I sprayed the fragrance on my skin...WOW! I had no idea vanilla can be this sensual. The combination of grapefruit and vanilla made it really special. And after reading the ingredients, I am pleased that it is all natural and that it is actually good for you. I recommend this product to everyone who is not neccessarily a huge fragrance user. I assure you this is something else!
