Bath and Body Works New Fall Themed Fragrances.
There
is something about that time of year that makes me chose a different,
less florally, feminine kind of fragrance. And I am never disappointed
with the choices offered by Bath and Body Works.
I
was able to purchase some of the New scents I expect to see as part of a
fall collection of fragrances ( unless they were only tested and failed
) and here are a few thoughts after trying them.
Fall Body Care: Chalkboard Inspired Labels
Strawberry Poundcake - Fresh Strawberries, Golden Shortcake & Whipped Cream
Sparkling Plum Prosecco - Juicy Purple Plums, Wild Blackberry, Sparkling Citrus
Sugared Cherry Crisp - Bright Cherry Delight, Crumbled Graham Cracker, Spun Vanilla Sugar
Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte - Pumpkin latte, Toasted Marshmallows, Creamy Sandalwood, Praline Musk
Vanilla Mocha Cafe - Cozy Cappuccino, Vanilla Orchid, White Tonka Bean
I
haven't found the Fine Fragrance Mists for this collection yet so I am
not sure how the labels will look on those but I am love, love, loving
the chalkboard inspiration on the Body Lotion, Body Cream, and Shower
Gels I did get.
I am also asked, are these the only scents
coming?? Will there be more?
I guess we will be seeing a Sweet
Cinnamon Pumpkin fragrance somewhere in some Fall collection, I mean
that is a Fall staple fragrance...and I think a Pumpkin Cupcake
fragrance would fit right into this look so perhaps that could be coming
too?? I know there are plenty of fragrance fans asking for its return.
What is the Collection name?
I haven't
heard yet. Vanilla Mocha Cafe, Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, and Sparkling
Plum Prosecco are drink inspired...and Sugared Cherry Crisp and
Strawberry Pound Cake are sweets...so it can be called ANYTHING...haha.
Are these all repeat fragrances?
Well... Yes. We know that Strawberry Poundcake is and a delicious one at that. It does smell to me to be the same as the previously released scent formulation and I am glad to see it make it to a fall theme packaging. Sort of fall-themed.
I mean Black Cherry Merlot and Champagne Toast are redone in collections for almost every month's release so freshening up
the pound cake scent label is okay by me. A Blueberry something would
have been nice...add in an apple scent too.
The bottle of Lotion is a US label and the Body Cream is in international packaging so there isn't too much info on it.
Marshmallow
Pumpkin Latte is as perfect as always. I love that bit of spice scent
to it on the dry down on me. While I was trying on the Body Cream my
husband walked past and mentioned something smelled good.
The packaging
of this is a US label and it does have a saying on it. " Close your
eyes and breathe in the cafe-crafted aromas and decadent sweet smells of
fall."
Now for Vanilla Mocha Cafe. I have
been wearing this scent for the past two days in the hot heat of 90
degree days here, ( with humidity ) ugh... and again, my husband
remarked that something smelled really good.
This kind of scent is not
one I would gravitate to usually, and oddly enough I do like it. It is
tough for me to describe...because it smells familiar to me in one way
like a cinnamon caramel swirl hand sanitizer and I have been trying to
figure out if it was a redo of something we have had before...or was it a
candle scent I have smelled.
I have gone through my entire collection
of scents comparing it to see if I have anything with this scent or
these notes.
When I put the lotion on the first thing I get is a
rich, creamy coffee-ish scent. Not the kind of smell like I just
dumped my latte in my lap...haha...it is balanced out with a sweet,
vanilla-like smell and a hint of a floral. It changes on me as it dries
down and as I keep checking it, I got almost a tobacco-ish note. Like
pipe tobacco, not cigarette tobacco. Gosh, this smells so familiar.
I
am a girl who loves florals because they are girly and we all want to
smell pretty, right? Gourmand and woody scents bring out warmth with
our body chemistry that works to make it smell like fragrance...not
spilled food.
And I can say that I do like this scent and will purchase
the companion forms when it releases...and I would recommend trying it
on in the store to see how your chemistry works with it.
Could this be
our first mocha coffee scent? I can't wait to read what y'all think and
how the scents work with you.
Sparkline Plum Prosecco. I was
only able to buy the Shower Gel in this fragrance and it is hard to get
a true scent from something that won't have many layers and dry down
notes to it. It is fruity and citrusy and smelled great in the shower
and stayed on my skin for a bit afterward. I can't wait to get at least
a lotion to see the depth of this scent.
Sugared
Cherry Crisp. I was only able to buy the Shower Gel in this fragrance
as well, and it is hard to get a true scent without those scent
layers...but I can share a few things about this.
To me, this is NOT
CHERRY COUGH FORMULA at all. The cherries are sweet, and you can smell
the crust... almost like those store-bought sweet cherry hand pies with
the sugary-glaze over them.
I wish the Shower Gel was a bit stronger a
scent but it was a nice fragrance to wash with. I am hoping to get the
lotion in this quick to give a better review.
We
all interpret fragrance differently and what a fragrance may trigger in
me may be different for you. I do recommend if you can try these out
when they launch in stores to see what you think about them. While you
may not want to smell like a cherry pie all day, the shower gel is a
nice way to break up your shower routine.
