Bath
and Body Works New American Summer Signature Body Care Collection has
launched online and I was fortunate to grab three out of the five
fragrances to try and review now before the online orders ship.
Today I will talk about the Beachfront Blanket fragrance.

Packaging.
Let's
talk about the packaging first. I am in love with the soft summer-themed colors chosen for each of these five scents in this collection. I suspect you will love them too and they will sell out quickly.
I have the Beachfront Blanket currently in the Shower Gel form and this bottle is a pearlized clear color with a clear colored gel inside.
The nameplate area consists of raised textured lines and a summer-like font. A beach umbrella is a motif on the lower right side of the bottle at the end of a mauve-pink stripe.
Scent Notes.
On the back of the bottle, and online, the scent notes read:
Beachfront Blanket - A transportive blend of fresh white linen, summer sun rays and soft musk
My Opinion.
Comparison To.
When I got this Shower Gel on Wednesday, I gave it a quick sniff and thought it smelled sort of familiar to me.
If you love Bath and Body Works as I do, you too probably have a huge collection of various fragrances from years of purchases and sometimes they all start to melt together in your scent brain.
We know they do re-purpose scents to fit the current themes they are offering so it wouldn't be unheard of to get a fragrance that we have had before.
Because I don't have a body cream or mist to try on me, I was left to wash my hands with this Shower Gel to try and nail it down.
When I washed them again, for like the tenth time today, I think I figured out what this scent is...or what it reminds me of. And fortunately, I still have some Body Sprays to double-check my conclusion with.
Cotton Blossom. Scent notes of grass, sun-dried linen accord, mandarin blossom, jeans accord, peony, cotton, musk, and baby powder.
I grabbed more of the Cotton Blossom spray during a Semi-Annual Sale and my use for them is not as body care. I like to refresh my closets with a few sprays of it every so often.

This Beachfront Blanket smells like a fresh pile of fluffy white towels, with its clean, baby powder-like smell.
Try. Buy. Or Let Go By.
I did place an order for the Beachfront Blanket Fine Fragrance Mist so I could get a closer scent-look at the mist compared to the shower gel product. I find small differences from product to product at times and the mist should give a clearer comparison to the Cotton Blossom mist I have.
I
would recommend you try this fragrance if you love a clean, fluffy cotton towel fragrance. And I look forward to hearing all of your thoughts on how this fragrance was for you!
