Vanillary is a highly polarizing Lush fragrance with devoted fans who find it a comforting, long-lasting vanilla scent, but equally vocal detractors who experience off-putting urine, yeast, or beer-like notes due to skin chemistry variations. The fragrance's performance appears inconsistent, with some attributing this to formula changes between the solid and current tin versions, making it a true "try before you buy" product.
