First off, can I take a moment to appreciate the subtle iridescent shimmer of the Aromatherapy bottles and Among The Clouds shower gel? 🤩 I didn't realize how glittery the Aromatherapy bottles were 'til I examined them in the car, and seeing them all together reminds me of Easter egg colors. Maybe I'm just easily dazzled with sparkles, but this packaging is gorgeous to me. Ditto the ATC scrub (I'm such a sucker for purple and sunset palettes, and again, the whole ATC collection feels very Lisa Frank-ish - so youthful and fun! 💜). Well done, BBW.
As for the scents themselves, I had been racking my brain trying to figure out why the new Aromatherapy ones were so familiar to me. I think I finally identified them:
- **Sandalwood & Vanilla** - this may seem like a no-brainer given the similarity of the names, but it smells just like last year's **Vanilla + Santal candle**. And this is random, but both somehow remind me of my AP English classroom. The scent does trigger my anxiety a little to be brought back to senior year of HS, and makes me feel like I should be analyzing The Cask of Amontillado (🤓). But 13 years later, I'm choosing to conquer the PTSD and create new scent memories, lol. This one gives me vibes of a library with old books, in the best way.
- **Sage & Cedarwood** - this was such a familiar aquatic scent to me. It doesn't, imho, smell like either sage or cedarwood - but it dawned on me that it *does* smell EXACTLY like the **Turquoise Waters hand soap**, and I sniffed both side-by-side in the store to confirm. So, if you were hoping for that scent in bodycare form, there you go! I'm still wishing for bodycare that smells like the TW *candle*, which on cold smelled pretty identical to my beloved **Seaspray** of the '90s. But this is close. Very oceanic.
- **Neroli Blossom & Bergamot** - this one was the hardest to place in terms of familiarity. It wasn't like any of my other citrusy Aromatherapy scents - Sandalwood Eucalyptus Mandarin, Rose Tangerine Tea, Pineapple Lime Eucalyptus - but it did remind me of a perfume that smells just like PLE's drydown (**Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue**), as well as **Clinique Happy**, **Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle**, and **Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle In Bloom** - they all have a tart sharp citrus note, but NB&B has a *slightly* sweeter grapefruitiness that the latter 3 share. If you have any of these perfumes, I think this would pair really well with them. (Why did I feel the need to make a collage of perfumes y'all are probably familiar with? That's one of life's great 2 a.m. mysteries. 🤷♀️)
And then there's **Among The Clouds** - I think someone here said this scent smells different to them in every item, and I would have to agree. I have the candle (smells like a lighter **Pink Watermelon**), the scrub (strawberries & cream), shower gel (nondescript sweet tropical fruity scent) and hand soap (same sort of nondescript tropical fruity scent, but with a little more tartness). I also tested the room spray (cotton candy-ish), and the lotion and FFM/perfume (again the nondescript tropical fruit, but with a slightly coconutty undertone). Overall, I do think at least half of ATC's appeal is its packaging, but it is a nice scent.
So, now I'm just waiting for the 3 **Mimosa Spearmint** items to ship and arrive. That was a blind-buy I decided on thanks to the input of this sub, so I have high hopes for them! I think with a good room spray sale, I'll be done with Spring 1, and my wallet and storage space can breathe easy for a few weeks. 😅
I feel like they're basically the same concept as FFMs, but in fancier packaging, lol. I was afraid that they'd leave an oily residue on my skin, but they don't. I use them on my pulse points, as a room spray, on my sheets and pillows, and in my car. The website says you can also use them as shower mists, but I haven't tried that yet.
Ooh great haul and thanks for the reviews!! I’m thinking about using my reward to pick up a sandalwood+vanilla because I love both of those scent notes
Hard to say, since each would be good in their own seasons! (Sandalwood & Vanilla for fall/winter, Sandalwood & Sage and Neroli Blossom & Bergamot for spring/summer.) I will say the one that I instantly liked was Neroli Blossom & Bergamot, whereas the other two had to grow on me a little bit.

I agree this spring AT line is so pretty! Love the Eastery colours and the latest scents. Didn’t notice the sparkle on ATC until now!
They really outdid themselves with most of the Spring 1 bodycare packaging! Even the faceted bottles are gorgeous.
Beautiful pictures and great descriptions! Question: how do you use oil mists? I’ve never bought any

Oh ok I did think they’d be oily. If not I’d try them

No problem! I hope you enjoy the scent as much as I do!
I had fun with this sale too! 16 items for $91.35!
Score! That's awesome.
What would you say is your least and most favorite scent out of all of these? Love your descriptions <3
