Victoria's Secret Body Fragrance Mist, Bare Vanilla - 8.4 fl oz
Our editorial score, out of 10
“The best-value bottle in the category, and the scent most people will simply like.”
At a glance
Our verdict
Bare Vanilla is the most reliably popular scent in the Victoria's Secret mist line — a soft, creamy vanilla with a whipped, almost edible quality that isn't cloying. The 8.4oz bottle is generous and the price per ounce is among the best in the category. Longevity is around three hours, typical for a mist, so keep it in a bag for top-ups. Layers beautifully under a heavier vanilla perfume.
