Bath & Body Works Black Raspberry Vanilla is an Eau de Toilette. Black Raspberry Vanilla opens with Blackcurrant, Blueberry, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Musk, and Sandalwood. Bath & Body Works's Black Raspberry Vanilla carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive yet nostalgic, Black Raspberry Vanilla is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a punchy, tart berry blast, but don't hold your breath for the vanilla, as it's often a no-show.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear, though the tart, sometimes strong berry notes might be too much for a formal setting. Many find it invigorating for daytime, year-round, or even post-sport activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a vibrant, tart burst of black currant and juicy blueberry, enlivened by bright bergamot and a hint of sweet pear. The heart introduces a delicate floral touch with jasmine and elegant orris, while the dry-down attempts a creamy smoothness with vanilla orchid, soft musk, and a subtle woody warmth from sandalwood. However, the prominent berry notes often overshadow the intended vanilla softness.
