    When I was young, my mum was in the hospital a lot. Because I missed her, I’d often go into her room and smell her perfumes and look at her make-up. She had a whole line of Vanilla Fields creams and perfumes, and smelling the vanilla scent reminded me of her, even when I couldn’t see her.

    What’s funny is that my mom says she now hates vanilla, after years of working in a shoppe where she was constantly surrounded by scented vanilla candles, but I simply adore the smell. It reminds me of my mom.

    My fondest memories of vanilla are recent. Every night, I eat low-calorie, low-fat vanilla icecream for dessert.

  12. Laura on November 20, 2011 6:43 am

    Mmmmm, it would have to be grandma’s baking. Man, that woman could make a mean cookie!!!!!

  13. Christina on November 20, 2011 7:20 am

  24. Micki S on November 20, 2011 10:00 am

    Whenever I’m stressed it’s easy to relax when I’m wearing my Warm Vanilla Sugar spray from Bath & Body. It’s just a very relaxing scent.

  25. Claire on November 20, 2011 10:59 am

    Vanilla reminds me of homely memories,when my mom baked egg custard, and also a victoria sponge they would give off the most wonderful smell all around the house. I now buy many creams and candles with vanilla aromas and this brings back these wonderful memories of when I was a child.

  26. Melanie on November 20, 2011 11:10 am

    Vanilla reminds me of baking which I love.

  27. ChrisTea on November 20, 2011 1:30 pm

    I can still remember when I first smelled an actual vanilla bean. It was so heavenly …. it smells so fresh and warm. I love vanilla.

  28. Crystal Wonitoy on November 20, 2011 2:17 pm

    Vanilla reminds me of baking with my little girls. I always let them measure it and pour it in, because you can never accidentally add “too much”!

  29. Crystal Wonitoy on November 20, 2011 2:18 pm

    I like ábbi’s facebook page, thanks!

  30. Michaela on November 20, 2011 3:12 pm

    Vanilla is definitely my favourite smell, I make all my cupcakes vanilla cupcakes.

    My favourite vanilla memory is coming across (and buying, of course) my favourite perfume. Lush’s ‘Vanillary’. It smells like vanilla cake, which is the best thing ever, and wearing it I get to smell like vanilla cake too.

  31. adrienne z on November 20, 2011 4:23 pm

    I love Vanilla EVERYTHING!! love the candles, love the scent, love the taste, love the color, love the look; remember eating french vanilla icecream over the best apple pie in the country in Willioamsburg Virginia when I was about 9 – best I ever had!!

    Vanilla reminds me of eating ice cream with my Grandpa when I was little… we both LOVED plain old fashioned vanilla ice cream and it was our special night time snack when I stayed with my grandparents

  33. Kelly Massman on November 20, 2011 5:54 pm

    When I was a teenager I used to put in on my wrists for perfume

  35. Diane Melendez on November 20, 2011 7:38 pm

    My favorite memory with vanilla is putting delicious raw vanilla bean into ice cream. The flavor was wonderful. I also like the scent of vanilla for aromatherapy. It is very relaxing.

  36. Brenda on November 20, 2011 7:44 pm

    My mothers baking and baking for my children are two wonderful memories I have of vanilla..

  37. Lisa on November 20, 2011 8:04 pm

    I don’t have a clear favorite memory, but it’s just that the scent itself conjures up happiness and warmth. It makes you feel comforted and nostalgic.

  38. Melissa on November 20, 2011 8:41 pm

    My fondest memory of vanilla is definitely baking with my mom when I was a little girl. That was really the only escape for us, and the only time we had to bond.

  39. Kelly on November 20, 2011 9:51 pm

    It reminds me of baking with my family when I was little.

  44. Josanne M. on November 21, 2011 12:54 pm

    Vanilla reminds me of my first date with my then boyfriend who is now my husband. My best friend bought me a Vanilla and Coconut body wash, so I showered with that in preparation for our evening out :) I only used for special occasions.. He loved it!

  45. Naomi Dice on November 21, 2011 2:36 pm

    my best friend growing up wore vanilla fields. the smell of vanilla reminds me of her.

  46. Teresa Maletich on November 21, 2011 3:20 pm

    Vanilla reminds me of my grandmother Marcella, when I was a young girl. She spent a lot of time outside, and she used it as a bug repellant and she would smell SO GOOD!

  47. Kelly on November 21, 2011 3:40 pm

    I burn vanilla candles every night as a way to relax my mind after a long day. It doesn’t matter how bad or good the day has been, i cant wait to get home, walk through the door and light those vanilla candles. I know i am home and at peace.
    X ya…

  48. Nancy's Couture on November 21, 2011 7:37 pm

    My fondest memory of vanilla is walking to DQ with my parents every night in the summer to get ice cream

  51. Taylor on November 23, 2011 8:29 am

    Vanilla reminds me of the time I was in school to become a Pastry Chef. We used vanilla bean paste, it smells amazing. That was the first found out about the paste.

  53. Dennis on November 23, 2011 10:22 am

    Home made ice cream when I was growing up sitting for hours it seemed turning the crank on the ice cream churn.

  54. Marilyn on November 23, 2011 3:37 pm

    Vanilla is childhood memories. Homemade iceceam, custards, baked rice puddings, blancmange, sponge cakes ….
    an essential ingredient in Mum’s cooking. She said she liked the scent because it reminded her of her Granny, who reared her.
    One Christmas we gave her vanilla perfumed soap and talcum powder. I still love the aroma and taste of vanilla.

  55. Nellie Lee Luhrmann on November 23, 2011 7:00 pm

    Vanilla reminds me of my youth it was my scent of choice “perfume” wise. Love it every time I smell it I get all nostalgic!! Great giveaway

  56. SmilynStef on November 23, 2011 9:34 pm

    I remember one of the first perfumes I wore was a vanilla scent in junior high … made me feel so grown up.

  57. Michelle on November 24, 2011 5:27 am

    My favorite memories of Vanilla are many. The first and one always bringing me back is Sunday morning French Toast. My dad was Sunday morning breakfast chef and would let us help. Another is Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and once in a while a Fresh Vanilla Bean Shake was a treat. This time a year when the Cookie baking starts!

  58. Carolyn on November 24, 2011 6:51 am

    When growing up,in the 50′s, we were poor and I used to use vanilla as a perfume behind my ears. I loved the smell and it made me feel grown up. To this day, it’s my favorite scent.

  59. michele on November 24, 2011 8:18 am

    It’s just a very soothing smell.

  60. Sandryte on November 24, 2011 9:45 am

    I love one french shower gel which smells vanilla and cinamon! My favourite one!

  61. Tammie Goodrich on November 24, 2011 5:32 pm

    Vanilla is the sweet smell of a candle buring and the wind blowing through the windows on a warm summer night with the oven cooking some sweet vanilla sugar cookies. I love that smell.

  62. Jen on November 25, 2011 7:58 pm

    Cookies & Ice Cream……..Do I have to say any more.

  63. Ann on November 25, 2011 8:51 pm

    Vanilla reminds me of my grandmother baking Christmas cookies.

    I love the smell of vanilla as it reminds me of baking with my Grandma.

  65. Sandy on November 26, 2011 12:10 pm

    Fondest Vanilla memory is baking with my grandmother when I was a child. The pure vanilla extract was the smell I most loved!

  76. Deanna on November 28, 2011 10:06 pm

    Vanilla reminds me of baking with my mom and grandma. I love sugar scrubs.

  77. Rosa Marie on November 28, 2011 11:00 pm

    I don`t have a romantic story just that I love the smell of vanilla bean.
    Hugs,
    Rosa Marie

  78. Christina on December 1, 2011 11:30 am

    Vanilla reminds me of summers at the beach eatting ice cream. Thanks for the giveaway!

  79. InJuneau on December 1, 2011 12:23 pm

    Vanilla reminds me of baking my first Angel Food cake with my grandpa. He taught me how to make them from scratch, by hand. Now I use a mixer and use vanilla and almond extracts, but opening a bottle of double strength vanilla still takes me back to learning to bake from him.

  80. Kim Ratajczyk on December 2, 2011 1:49 pm

    Vanilla always makes me think of baking with my Grandma. And every time I sniff the bottle before measuring (she taught me to do that “to make sure it’s good”. I think she just liked the smell) I think of a different time we baked together. To me vanilla is a time capsule in a bottle.

  81. Deb on December 2, 2011 7:46 pm

    licking the bowl when my mom was baking with vanilla!

  82. Lise Pitre on December 7, 2011 6:30 am

    Vanilla reminds me of winter days when my mom would cook cookies.

  83. Katherine from Illinois on December 9, 2011 10:19 am

    Strangly enough Vanilla is a Christmas smell to me… all warm and sweet and not an overwhelmingly strong scent either but a nice undertone.
