Bath and Body Works Be Enchanted

You guys are all probably sick of Bath & Body Works by now...but I can't help myself! There's just so much to review! This will be the last one for a while, until their spring collection comes out. I promise.

Anyways, Be Enchanted is often regarded as a "new Secret Wonderland," which was discontinued.

"Inspired by the wonder of a shimmering fantasy, Be Enchanted is a charming mix of frosted florals sweetened with sparkling, sugared pomegranate

Top Notes: Mouthwatering Citrus, Iced Pomegranate, Chilled Wildberries, Crystallized Passionfruit

Mid Notes: Sheer Honeysuckle, Floral Frosted Bouquet, Sugared Violet, Dew fruit, Asian Pear

Dry Notes: Whipped Vanilla, Creamy Musk, Sandalwood"

-Bath & Body Works Description

Where Velvet Sugar is more on the sweet side, Be Enchanted has more of a musky, floral smell instead. The first notes you'll smell are the fruits, which then give way towards the citrus and rest of the flowers.

As the description says, the frosted berries and flowers definitely give off the whole "frosted" effect. 

Pun sort of intended, but it's a very "enchanting" scent, but I think that "secret" would work too. (These people who name these things are really good at their jobs.) 

What I'm trying to say is that Be Enchanted is more of a dark, mysterious scent than a fun, flirty scent, if you get what I mean. I'm not quite sure if you have to have an acquired smell for it, since I know that some people do not like darker scents, (this is also backed up by the fact that it is not on the fragrance best-sellers at Bath and Body) but it's definitely something you should give ago, if not for every day, then for when you want to create more of an aura of "mystery" and classiness.

Be Enchanted seems to have a little bit more of a staying-power margin than the others, but I think that the notes are just much stronger than some of the more generic ones found in some of the other perfumes. (The vanilla is definitely evident, and is the main thing you smell after a while, along with a bit of the others.) The end result, when the day is over, is a sweet, musky vanilla scent.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone that loves Secret Wonderland, Velvet Sugar, Warm Vanilla Sugar,  and Forever Midnight.

*UPDATE* I just saw some photos circulating on Instagram, on 1/7/13, (this Tuesday) B&BW will be having a preview of their new Spring Collection: Sky, Air, Sun. The lotions will be 3/$6 until they are released on January 21st.

Bath and Body Works: Velvet Sugar Fragrance Mist

Hey guys! With all of their winter products out in full display, I didn't think that Bath and Body Works would possibly reveal a new product- but I was wrong!

                                           

Velvet Sugar is their newest fragrance in the Signature Collection line, and if I am correct, it is permanent, not part of the limited edition Christmas line. 

I'm personally not a fan of the super sweet scents, in fact, anything heavily sweet or vanilla-y almost drives me crazy! Luckily for me, while it's sweet enough to be a winter scent, fruity and floral notes (of the tangy arrangement or sorts) are found along with the sweetness. 

A lot of the Bath and Body Works scents smell similar. In fact, so similar, I can swear some of them just have different labels! Velvet Sugar surprised me- in a very good way!

There's just something about Velvet Sugar that makes it perfect for everyone- whether you're a fan of the sweet or the sour, the clean or the musky, there's a perfect, harmonious blend of notes and ingredients that keeps you coming back for one more spray. Seriously. It's the one of the most perfect scents ever, no joke!'

For me, I think Velvet Sugar is perfect for casual or semi-formal, and for night or day, of any season, which is super convenient! (Plus, the price keeps you from making a major dent in your wallet.)

Maybe I'm just used to perfume, and this is a fragrance spray, but even for Bath and Body, it doesn't last a super long time. I'd say 6-9 hours, tops. 

Velvet Sugar, as being part of the Signature Collection, is available in perfume, fragrance spray (this), shower gel, lotion, etc, so even if you're not a perfume fan, you can go fall in love with a different version.

For application, as always, is super easy, with the sprayer not requiring much pressure at all, like the travel sized bottles. 

Even if you're a die-hard pink-chiffon fan, or you only like your Chanel N5, go give it a try.

I dare you.
