Lavanila Laboratories Forever Fragrance Oil in Vanilla Grapefruit and Pure Vanilla

The Lavanila Forever Fragrance Oils Long-Lasting Roll-On’s in Vanilla Grapefruit and Pure Vanilla {sent for the purpose of review} are great to have for anytime of the year. They both have Vanilla as a key note which is great for all year round:  it’s warm and who doesn't love Vanilla?!?
