I layer either BPAL Eat Me or Antique Lace (both are vanilla based) with Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar lotion and use the Karma Komba shampoo bar by Lush. The lotion gives the oil staying power and the green scent of the shampoo keeps the vanilla from being cloying. I've been told by many people that I'm the best thing they've ever smelled, and I'm very popular for hugs. There's also a guy at work who sits down behind me and smells my hair a lot...
Anyway, I'm pretty sure its the combination that makes it so popular. One alone doesn't quite do it, and this scent appeals even to those weird people who hate vanilla. Its also surprisingly subtle. Every once in a while I change it up totally and wear BPAL Dracul, which smells of fir, dark cherry, and tobacco. Very dark and sensual.
