I think Dream Bright from last year was vastly underrated. And it’s PERFECT for fall. Berries and vanilla but musky and warm. Not their typical berries/vanilla scent. It’s like a cousin of Sweet Whisky.
I’ve never seen anyone else say this and I don’t know why I pick this up, but there’s some strange undertone to Dream Bright that almost reminds me of formaldehyde and I just can’t get past it 🥲
I like to shower at night and I've been finding Together Weather to be the one I reach for as the evenings are getting cooler. Something so comforting to me about it
I think BBW improved and reformulated Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte this year, that sour milk smell is gone. Good reports this year! When I smelled it in the store I thought it was pretty good.
I bought two sprays and the lotion thinking it was one of the pumpkin scents I absolutely loved last year it smelled like pumpkin crème spicy on me and it isn’t. It smells like some kind of wax melt for fall leaves 😭
I get the sour milk still. I decided to throw the lotion on my hands as I was heading into my son's parent teacher conference, had never used it before. It was distracting and so embarrassing.
Cozy Vanilla Bourbon is my favorite scent they released this year for fall. It’s what I thought warm vanilla sugar would smell like. The body cream is so nice. I just bought 3 more for backup lol
yoooo idk what the hell they did to warm vanilla sugar but the current formulation is not it. last time i tried it in-store i had to scrub it off 😅 cozy vanilla bourbon has become one of my faves, especially on chilly overcast days
Fireside Flurries is my absolute favorite! My husband loves it too! You convinced me to try Cozy Vanilla Bourbon. I love the Sweater Weather candle so much and ordered the body mist to try but haven't gotten it yet. I think I will love it too
Moonlight Martini took me by surprise, I dont usually like BBW mists but its giving me something adjacent, next door, to D&G Light Blue. Not the citrus or apple, but the light, fresh, yet skin-scent cozy sort of muskiness that Light Blue dries down to after the initial sparkling spritz. I love it. Im a BBW veteran and worked there for over 8 years and the one that got away was this Passionfruit scent they had many years ago that they never really replicated. Moonlight Martini is the first mist since that one that actually caught me by the nose. Awesome video Lauren, you've got me curious to try a few more!
I've recently become a body mist girlie, so happy to see this upload! ❤️ right now, I'm loving Cozy Vanilla Bourbon and Together Weather (identical dupe to Cheirosa 40!)
Of the new releases I LOVE Together Weather! On skin it’s sweet and girly and just smells delightful. Fresh Vanilla Blossom and Everlasting Magic are so good. Midnight Martini dry down is the best! The fruits really stand out and it lasts forever. I love wearing Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and CA&H to bed. Last years versions I enjoy a lot more. Midnight Amber Glow is that girl! I had to get backups last year along with Fall in Bloom. Wicked Vanilla Woods I really enjoy as well.
Oh wow I’m surprised you don’t like together weather. We tend to like similar scents and I ❤ that one. I smell something similar to sol de janeiro cheirosa 40 in that one
i was surprised too! i’m a vanilla lover and usually agree with all her takes, and i LOVE together weather. to the point i was considering getting a back up 😂
I used to work at bath & body works when we sold the that packaging of Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte. It should be around 3 years old now, but check the first number on the batch code. If it's a zero then it came out in 2020. I've never had a spray go bad, so now I gotta check my stock 😅
I’m not usually a body mist type of girl, but I did pick up Marshmallow pumpkin latte, into the night and cozy vanilla bourbon I enjoyed them very much. I really want to grab luminous too.
Your description of Fresh Vanilla Blossom makes me think of Body Fantasies' Vanilla mist! BF is a lot more accessible to me than BBW but that one makes me think of a "fresh out of the shower" vanilla scent too.
My favorite is the chasing fireflies. I love it so much I bought the shower gel and a back up moisturizer. I also like the luminous that just came out. I love the wicked vanilla from last year I am sad it didn't come out this year. I love the smell of leaves mix with something a little sweeter. I don't like the apple champagne it's too sweet, so I layer the two together and I love the combination.
My favorite fall BBW are vanilla mocha martini , midnight amber glow and fireside flurries. I found 2 new amazing body sprays from Victoria’s Secret- Bare vanilla & Autumn shore
I hated marshmallow pumpkin latte the last 2 years including the version u have. But u have to try this years version! It's so so good! I was shocked. Also chasing fireflies smells like powdery raid and bug spray 😅 thats a big no from me. Love cozy vanilla boubon. Fresh vanilla blossoms is ok. I only have a mini and think im good with that. Sweet whiskey is a fav! Love! Have several backups lol Im really loving coconut candy apple from 2 years ago. Really wish they would bring it back!
My absolute favorite from BBW is the fresh coconut and cotton. I buy at least 2 bottles every time they have a sale. I also really like Vanillas too and the Fresh Vanilla blossoms sounds like something I may have to try. ❤
I like Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte but I layered it with VS Bare Vanilla. It made it a lot sweeter. I also like Fall in Bloom, Bonfire Bash, Sunrise Woods and Open Sky from a few years ago. Thanks for the video. I also like Luminous but it really packs a punch.
Have you tried Urban Outfitters Fleur de Blonde? I can't vouch for it as a Kaleidoscope dupe, but it's lovely and very affordable. I recently ran out and repurchased Fleur de Blonde, which is rare for me!
Yes I have actually!!! It’s a very good dupe to glossier you! And although sonic flower by room 1015 is more expensive than glossier you and kaleidoscope, it’s also a VERY good dupe!! But I do still hope one day they bring kaleidoscope back 🙂
I just ordered 5 from the sale. I’m not a big vanilla girly (please don’t kick me out 🥺) My absolute favorite is Ivory Cashmere, probably because it’s very similar to Lake & Skye 11:11. I also grabbed In The Stars, Endless Sea, Copper Fields, and Together Weather. I didn’t grab Chasing Fireflies because I already have the EDP in a travel size.
When you said “red berries” when mentioning the notes of Sweet Whiskey, I just remembered the Eilish no. 1 perfume has a red berries note in it… I bet they’d smell great together!
I agree with you with on if I get a fragrance I have to love it, not just like it especially for my favorite season which is Fall 🍁🧡. This review really helps me so I don’t overspend in the store lol Love your reviews!
I love a lot of the same ones as you. It’s hard to narrow down my favorites, but sweet whiskey, bonfire bash, midnight amber glow, sweater weather , and lakeside morning are probably my top 5. I used to love wicked vanilla woods but I feel like my bottle is leaning too peppery for me now.
My favorite BBW scents to date would have to be Forever Red, Gingham Gorgeous, Black Cherry Merlot, Twisted Peppermint, and Blush Cardigan. I love fruity scents and also peony. I hate musky and smoky scents. I don’t want to be out here smelling like I smoke 2 packs a day… 🤷🏻♀️I also hate pumpkin scents with a passion!
Ughhh I can’t choose just one 😫but my top 3 B&BW fragrances are Coconut Cream Pie, Fairytale and Boardwalk Taffy. Currently I’m really digging Fresh Vanilla Blossoms, Cozy Vanilla Bourbon & Whipped Rose & Vanilla ❤️
Omg I didn’t realize it came out in a mist first!! The candle is so iconic for fall!! It’s super interesting they brought it back in the mist after all this time! 😊
Wearing cozy vanilla bourbon today with the matching lotion, love it. I also picked up the fresh vanilla blossoms set, leaves set, ivory and cashmere set, copper fields set, the chasing fireflies set and then the midnight spell set. Those are the only ones I liked I was surprised since I usually love their fall scents, didn't like alot of them.
I literally just did a declutter of all my B&BW and the only one I had to throw away was my marshmallow pumpkin latte because it smelled so bad! I’ve never had a body mist turn sour before and I was so confused. Glad to know I’m not the only one and that I wasn’t crazy when I had purchased it thinking it smelled good lol
I'm loving cozy vanilla bourbon this year. I also got my hands on champagne apple honey which I love wearing in the fall layered with Armani Si. Other than that, not too many I'm wild about this fall. I was really sad that I didnt see Bonfire Bash this year😢
I think Leah Jenae said that same MPL smelled bad too. But my 12 year old daughter had it, loved it, and finished the whole bottle. Hers didnt smell like vomit. (But the vanilla bean from that year was awful 🤢)
I haven't tried many but my favorite is bonfire bash. I recently bought fresh vanilla blossoms which I agree is like a laundry vanilla nice and light and a change of pace for me and pumpkin pecan waffles which I was afraid would be too bready but on me it goes in an almost burnt caramel corn direction and I think I like it?? I wanna try the two combined maybe
I've Been loving my late summer scents and have really only just transitioned into fall but the Halloween releases Vampire Blood and Everlasting Magic are my favorite. Also loving Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte.
I actually like cozy evening from last year. They didn’t bring it back so I had to buy it from Mercari. I don’t typically like clean scents but that one was clean and warm and just worked so well on my skin.
I just played catch up with your last few videos and as I’m getting ready for bed…I see another video! What a wonderful surprise! Thank you! I love your content! ❤
Fall in Bloom is such a good one, I still have mine from last fall. Nothing had me this fall EXCEPT Sweet Whiskey. I LOVE sweet whiskey, it’s just like my commodity Milk expressive. It’s the best BBW had this fall.
Chasing fireflies is so unique…it reminds me of summer though. It has a light powdery scent, fruity, but it kinda reminds me of insect repellent. It smells like camping. It’s very nostalgic.
My favourites are: Dahlia Snowflakes Midnight amber In the stars Fairytale Vanilla mocha And when it comes to certain mists like champagne toast and into the night I smell yuck, so I'm guessing it's a person thing 😅
Oh wow- I originally thought Copper Fields was too woody to wear alone, but I sprayed some on my elbow and couldn’t stop sniffing it. I prefer this scent profile over what is typically thought of as “feminine” scents- either powdery choke inducing stuffy flowers (iris? It’s a common theme in what is too strong for me, i.e. Luminous) or heady white suffocatingly non-warm florals that induce headaches - My Way,Gucci Floral anything). I love rose non powdered, if that makes sense. I’m struggling if I like You’re the One because I love strawberry, woods, and rose, but maybe I need to give it another try. My husband said it smelled like Luminous, which I said were completely opposite to my nose and it was less spicy and powdery and more crisp - I’m terrible at picking out notes and envy people who can smell individual ones - I want NOT have known YTO had rose if I hadn’t read the label. Are you of the same category of people who think Japanese Cherry Blossom smells like a cheap car fresher because it’s polarizing. I used to really like it because it smelled unique and fresh but now I don’t know. If I go back and forth and can’t decide (not instantly in love) I usually don’t get it, but I’m not kidding when I say one day in the store something will repulse me (Fairy Tale) but two weeks later on my sweatshirt it smells completely different and good. So I hate to make snap judgments or else I would never try and expand what I have and always go for sweet fruity or fresh. The biggest surprise of all was how much I freaking love Together Weather - I used to think Sunrise Woods was my favorite because it has everything I love, but TW is now my favorite.
My favorite 3 I use for fall is marshmallow pumpkin latte (I have the one from 3 years ago), white pumpkin, and bond fire bash. I agree with the changes from year to year with the smell. I just buy a back up in the same year because it’s inconsistent unfortunately
Sweet Whiskey is unreal, it's such a love for me. I NEED to test Fireside Flurries, I love Ari's R.E.M. and MM's Coffee Break, so I feel like I will like it. Also need to Sniff Midnight Amber Glow and Cozy Vanilla Bourbon. :)
BBWs body sprays are a menace. They don’t fade thankfully. My favs: fairytale, Dark velvet oud and Everlasting Magic. My new journey because I am equatorially opposite is seeing how I like some blind buys which are At The Beach and Underwater Oasis. The scent profile sound intriguing but we never know!
Chasing Fireflies kind of reminds me more of Coach Sunset Dreams than Libre, I think its the pear note. Ivry Cashmere is my gurrrllll. It'll be great for all year round as well so Ive got the most backups of her than of any other fragrance. Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte is suuuucchhh a good fall scent for me BUT only when its cooler out. It smells so bad in the heat lol. I am so sad I missed out on grabbing a backup on sale but thankfully it comes back every year so when I finish it this season I can grab it again next fall. Fall in Bloom is more of a spring summer for me. Together Weather was awful, imo. Idk if it was the cardamom or what but there was something medicinal? It reminded me of cough syrup and being sick. I tried wearing it around the house for a day waiting for it to shift but I ended up returning it.
Hi Lauren 🩷 I have been following for not very long but love ur taste in fragrances 🩷 You really got me interested in vanilla Sky and I even bought and my cousin in the USA were going to ship it for me but guess what ?? Can’t ship alcohol from USA to Australia. 💔 Skylar only ships the rollerball 💔💔💔 Do you know anywhere I could buy it that would ship it to Australia ❤ Thank you for all ur lovely videos u got me spending lots of money lol 😊
My all time favourite is bonfire bash! I am heartbroken the didn’t bring it out this fall! I really want fireside flurries! I hope they come back with it. My ivory cashmere in the same bottle is so strong I only do one or two spray lol!! But it is really nice!
I have that same version of marshmallow pumpkin latte and I've never noticed anything about it but there was a more recent body butter of it that I had that smelled like feet lol. I still have that spray and it's still fine and I have the body cream which is fine as well
I love leaves! Very very strong tho ,but hell at least it aint unscented or only last 2 seconds like so many recently lol black cherry merlot is a big no for me. It smells odd. I dont like the candle either tho. Love pumpkin pecan waffles. Candle and body care 😊
I keep seeing comments that Together Weather smells like Cheirosa 40. I find that Everlasting Magic smells more like Cheirosa 40 than Together Weather. I like Cheirosa 40 and don’t like Together Weather at all! It smells super strange and not in a good way
