Most Helpful Positive Review island vanilla is my favorite i'm usually a budget buyer but go crazy for pacifica and can usually find their products on sale. the island vanilla is one of my favorites in a lotion. not sure i'd want it as one of their perfumes but vanilla is such a relaxing, soothing scent, great for nighttime skin. the slight floral notes are wondeful and leave a nice soft scent on the body for awhile. though not organic, pacifica doesn't use synthetic chemicals and seems enviro-conscious enough. the artwork on their containers is always so pretty, very different for each scent. and they have interesting combinations of ingredients that work.
Most Helpful Critical Review Makes you smell like a drunk I love Pacifica products. When I smelled the sample in the store I did not pick up on the strong after smell of booze. When I got home and put it on I noticed the funky alcohol scent. After inspecting the bottle more closely I saw that there is an intentional bourbon scent added. Not appealing at all. I never use it outside of the home for fear that people will think that I've been drinking all day.

Why does this smell like it's 244 years old? 3
Becky from Tulsa
I absolutely love the Island Vanilla and would love to use the body butter but it ALWAYS smells rancid! I've wasted money on this too many times.
Lovely fragrance and wonderful texture 5
Lori F. from Alexandria VA (next to Washington DC)
Years ago, I received this product as a gift. I immediately fell in love with it, and I've been purchasing and enjoying it every since. The body butter is perfect -- emollient and effective, but not greasy.
Scent all day 5
AnnieBeau from Vacaville, CA
Such a soft everyday floral fragrance. And I love how I smell like it all day when I put the lotion on in the morning. Very moisturizing and thick cream.
Pleasant, natural scent 5
Devine from undisclosed
This smells absolutely amazing!! If you want to smell like you just came from a stroll on a warm sunny day in a flower garden then get this. Love it!
Island vanilla is a good dupe for Fresh cream! 4
Kitten baby from New York, NY
Island Vanilla smells great. It smells almost exactly like Philosophy fresh cream body lotion but very watered down. The fragrance isn't nearly as intense but it's pretty identical in scent, which is perfect because as much as I love fresh cream it's very powerful so it can only be worn with the fragrance itself whereas this one sits better under different fragrances. I apply at night after a shower. The only con is that it's hard to rub in, it kind of sits on the skin funny until you really massage it in which is why I took off a star.

wonderful scent 5
Kim C from Java,NY
I miss Waikiki pikake, this is the closest I've found to it by Pacifica, but still not the same.
This lotion absorbs fast and feels wonderful after a bath with some gardenia or rose geranium oil.
Real help for my dry skin 5
Dawn Delle from Jupiter, FL
Smells great & helps my dry skin seriously!
Scent too strong 4
KRae from Los angeles
The scent is a little too strong. I have to mix it with a no scented lotion when I use it.
Fabulous scent! 5
Kori Linae C from Orange County, CA
I love this body butter! I goes on smooth, no greasiness. I also have very sensitive skin and so this body butter does not bother me at all. I love the fragrance . I highly recommend!
Great summer scent 5
Browneyedwoman from San Diego, CA
I love the smell of this lotion for the summer. The weight of the lotion is also great for the summer and skin that is a tad more dry after spending the day out in the sun or at the beach.
Island Vanilla 1

Smells nasty! I would never use just based on the smell. Disappointing 😞
Still the best! 5
Melissa B from Oregon
This Body Butter is the best I can find for my hands which were damaged years ago by chemicals. The Tahitian Gardenia is my favorite scent, but it's hard to find any Pacifica lotion in the stores anymore, and especially not this scent. Thank you, it is still my favorite!
Great smell, moisturizes well with no greasy feeling 5
Megs from Texas
I'm a big fan of the body butter. It's super moisturizing, not greasy and it smells delicious.
Excellent moisturizer 4
Toebeans from undisclosed
Makes my skin unbelievably smooth and a little bit goes a really long way so I know it's going to last a long time. For some reason this larger tube has a heavier gardenia smell than the travel size I got a free sample in a previous order but it still smells great if you're alright with natural floral scent. The trial was heavier on the shea/mango butters but this one is heavier on the gardenia . A little will go a long way, scentwise. Would still order again because it lasts forever so I knocked one star off for the scent profile difference. At least it smells like a natural flower instead of fake and chemically!
A Fan 5
FusionGirl from California
A big fan of their body butters. Just wish they did not discontinue some of my favorite fragrances.
Best of the Best 5

The body butter makes the skin feel awesome and the fragrance is spot on.
This is the only product that helps my KP! 5
GlamberWaves from IL
I LOVE this product. I used it on my arms, which have KP (keratosis pilaris) and it is the ONLY product that helps it. My skin has never felt so soft and the Coconut Indian Nectar scent is divine. I slather this on my arms right after showering and my skin is so soft and smooth and lasts at least 24 hours.
Love the original body butters best! 5
AmyW from PA
I did not think I would like this scent, but it's addicting. Vibrant, floral, with slight hint of citrus. Ordering my second bottle soon. I love all the body butters from their original offerings - the ones they still make. I miss Malibu Lemon Blossom body butter.
Love the gardenia body butter! 5
Terrilyn from Bandon oregon
Smells really good and it is a little heavier than lotion and I really like that.
Wonderful body butter! 5
Laura E. from California
Smells so amazing! I love the Tahitian Gardenia aroma. I have the hair perfume and perfume. I love all the Pacifica aromas, but this has always been my favorite!
