If you have yet to discover Nativa SPA and their line of highly effective and “heavenly”-scented body care products, you’re totally missing out. The Brazilian skincare brand has gotten a lot of rave reviews from shoppers, Victoria’s Secret models, and even members of our own shopping team (our writer ADORES their Quinoa Firming Hand Cream). Whether you’re looking for body oils to give your skin a hydration boost or skin-smoothing scrubs, Nativa SPA has you covered and in scents that sure to get a ton of compliments. While there are so many great products worth trying, one we’re highlighting today is the highly-rated Madagascar Vanilla Soothing Body Lotion.

This dermatologist-tested lotion was made to immediately soothe and alleviate dry skin. It contains vanilla extra, which is rich in antioxidants. The lotion also contains 100% pure quinoa oil, a signature ingredient of Nativa SPA, which helps nourish the skin and even has smoothing and firming benefits. But what really makes the lotion stand out is its delicious vanilla scent that is described as warm, cozy, and “not your average vanilla.”

Not only is the scent absolutely delicious and a compliment-getter, it also stays on for a long time. At $25 for a bottle, that’s pretty amazing considering many lotions and even perfumes that cost two or three times that much don’t have scents that last as long. With the cold days of fall and winter ahead (and the skin issues that accompany it), you’ll be happy you have this product in your routine.

Clearly Nativa SPA knows exactly what shoppers want as the Madagascar Vanilla Body Lotion has a near-perfect rating and tons of rave reviews. One wrote, “I love this lotion and its long-lasting scent. People are always asking me what perfume I’m wearing and I just smile and say none. Then I share my secret that it’s Nativa SPA.”

Another said that the lotion was “wonderful,” writing, “It stays with you all day. It’s alluring and sensuous, but you enjoy it just as much as anyone else! I will order this over and over again. Five stars and five hearts.” One shopper who called the lotion “fabulous” had nothing but high praise. “Not only does this smell amazing, but it’s so moisturizing,” they wrote. “Finally, a lotion that delivers everything.”

If you’re worried about vanilla scents being overly sweet, rest assured, this one is actually good. As one shopper who called it an “unexpected surprise” wrote, “I am giggling right now! When I first saw this lotion on your website, I said no, I don’t want to smell like a donut! Then you sent me a sample in one of my orders. What a shock— it was WONDERFUL— and no donut scent. It just goes to show you — try something before you delete it.”

Last, but definitely not least, a reviewer living in a “very dry climate” said their search for a “great all-over moisturizer” is finally over. “I’ve officially stopped looking,” they wrote. “Nativa SPA lotions are incredibly hydrating and smell amazing. The vanilla is a pleasant, mild fragrance that lasts most of the day. I’m very happy.”
