Pros & Cons

Very versatile fragrance, it's a fresh powdery vanilla scent without being over the top sweet.
Great scent for someone just getting into perfumes. Good price point, suitable year round, and relatively overspray safe.
total compliment getter with ladies, and great power for EDT
It's well rounded, tiny bit spicy from the ginger. Realistic fresh lavander with creamy vanilla.
Longevity is not an issue here; I've found that it lasts all day without fail.
Very versatile fragrance, it's a fresh powdery vanilla scent without being over the top sweet. Suits about anything from beach days with your friends to a christmas dinner with the family! Stays about the same throughout the drydown, on my skin it lasts about 6 hours.
Honestly out of the recent lavander-vanilla releases, this my favourite! It's well rounded, tiny bit spicy from the ginger. Realistic fresh lavander with creamy vanilla.
I'm enamored with this scent! It's a masterful blend that exudes confidence and charm... This scent is reminiscent of clean clothes, with a subtle vanilla and lavender accord that's both soothing and alluring. Longevity is not an issue here; I've found that it lasts all day without fail.
A really good fresh vanilla scent that can come off as generic but it still smells pleasant for the mast majority of people... The projection is moderate but can get overwhelming if you overspray it. For me, this is truly a unisex fragrance.
I know everyone hates on this as it's very generic but I personally love it. It smells really comforting on my skin so I put it on whenever I don't feel like wearing anything complex, just an easy, clean, pleasant, happy scent.

This is extremely synthetic, cloying and headache inducing.
Very generic, cloyingly sweet. Gave me a headache.
Smells like cheap aftershave or odekolon to me, highly disappointed.
nothing you cant find for cheaper
the scent sits close to the skin and the staying power is not great
Headache inducing. Had to scrub off straight away. Synthetic and far too sweet. Had high hopes but on my skin it's nauseating :(
This is extremely synthetic, cloying and headache inducing. I would not recommend this to anyone. The sweetness is sticky, sickening and disgusting.
Another cloying vanilla forward fragrance... There's nothing to see (or sniff) here. If you bought any of the aforementioned fragrances in the last 10 years D by Diesel is just reDunDant and more of 'D' same... Huge pass.
Soapy clean but very synthetic lavender. Blast of the ginger only in the fleeting opening. Linear fragrance without the rich vanilla I was expecting. Slightly metallic.
