Fav Bath & Bodyworks scent?

Not saying we all graduated from Bath & body Works (I’m clinging to my discontinued bottle of Dahlia for dear life), but we were all definitely the primary guardian of at least a couple of bottles.

So tell me, what was your favourite Bath & body Works scent?

    Sun-ripened Raspberry was my favorite throughout college.

      It was THE smell of my high school in the 90s... next to Sunflowers and Tommy Girl. 😆

      Would love to read a post that talked about the most popular fragrances of young people in each decade

    I still enjoy them! They have their place among my expensive niche; I think they've really made an effort in recent years to compete with perfume brands. Coastal Dreaming is very similar to Sel-Vanille. Despite the name, Love Unleashed is a really lovely neroli & marshmallow. Rain and Milk are also very good. Milk is as good as any trendy creamy gourmand. Rain perfectly captures the smell of fresh rain.

      I love this assessment! I think B&BW is really holding its own as the perfect place to get started because they have so many hits, but then those starts become sooo easy to get attached to when you get used to them. I loved into the night & endless weekends. I wish they’d do a couple more out there releases like a one more fragrance, but I think moving in mass market is not about appealing to a niche audience & more about what blows up online

      They've always tried to produce mass appealing & slightly trendy scents. Coconut Lime Verbena had the early 2000s in a chokehold, me included. If it isn't broke.. I feel you though, finding an affordable scent I love to have it discontinued abruptly with no alternative is so frustrating.

    Strawberry Lemonade, circa 2001 was my favorite. I also miss Red Currant and White Tea from the same era.

      I am NOT a savant because I don’t think I knew any of these existed

    I tend to have Always Fleur as a lotion/cream and recently discovered Salted Shorelines which I love

      Looking this up rn!! (Edit: loving the salt notes, but nothing oceanic?)

      I'm really bad at explaining but to me it doesn't smell marine (salty water) as much as aquatic which smells more like this wonderful fresh green water smell as if there's either a crisp or maybe even herby quality. I use the scent alone or when I want to freshen or lighten up something really strong. If you want a brisket salty marine smell, Zara Brise Minerale smells marine to me and definitely more unisex, even a little masculine

      Oh I love that concept way better actually
