Hello all! Those who have used Beekman's Vanilla Absolute---is it a true vanilla scent?

TIA!

Hmm--true vanilla is hard to define. No, this does not smell like vanilla beans I use in baking. Truthfully, I prefer the fragrance-free version of Beekman creams and other products.

This vanilla wasn't what I expected and sadly was returned...I love vanilla scent and this wasn't it.

To me it smells like men's aftershave. I don't like any of their scents.

I tried it in a hand soap and hand lotion in the caddy quite awhile back. I was disappointed as I just wanted a pure vanilla scent. But this had a slight added scent of musk or something that I did not care for. Hard to describe. I do have the lip balm in vanilla absolute and I don't notice it as much in it. But in the lotion and hand soap it's more pronounced and not what I was looking for in a vanilla scent.

No it doesn't smell like vanilla at all, I returned the vanilla things. I love most incarnations of vanilla scents, but this was some combo of strong unpleasant notes.

If you like the smell of true vanilla, this ain't it. I thought it smelled atrocious!

Thanks everyone. I have not had success with their scents so I guess I'll skip this one too!

I like their snow forest.

The only thing absolute about this fragrance is the lack of vanilla. I like a more of a vanilla cookie smell, Beekman's vanilla has heavy floral overtones.

I love various vanillas too, but didnot like this one. Agree with other posters, to me it almost has a masculine scent.
