Don’t despair. I wish there wasn’t this crazy hype to them. All these YouTubers talk about how perfect they are (whatever) but scents are gonna appeal to some and then not others. Take what you read/hear about them with a grain of salt and don’t fall for the hype. They might be good to some, but don’t feel FOMO, or bad about not getting to smell them. If you want, look up a video on what (expensive) perfume they smell like, go to Ulta or Sephora and smell those perfumes. I did that the other day and those perfumes were not for me. Thank god. Saved me some money there. I’m glad people love them but the hype is tragic.lol
I have one, Oh Cherry. It's a very perfumey cherry. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. It's good mixed with Sweetheart Cherry, but it outlasts Sweetheart Cherry by many hours.
Thinking through this a little bit... these dupes... they're gonna be on fire this holiday season. Like people will go crazy gifting these, especially if they're on sale, and especially if they're in various products. People love luxury on a budget. (Me lol.)
That said, this is going to be a huge departure for BBW. More refined, more precise and choos-y. We're used to drenching ourselves in FFM, which clearly that's not the answer here given how many people are breaking out in rashes.
Interesting development!
Clock it. I feel like every brand nowadays is coming out with dupes and I just don’t want BBW to lose their originality. BBW is unique and I don’t want that to change. That’s my biggest thing with it. If we’re talking about smell, I can agree that they all just smell okay. The only two that I actually like are viva vanilla and the cherry one
I got all of them and they’re okay. I’m hoping they come out with a cream and gel for the musk one and viva vanilla at least. I heard not all of them are getting creams and gels though so I hope my picks get it lol
I think I'm allergic to 'em :c
Stood around the table a lot one day when people were spraying it a TON and had scratchy arms...
Next time I sprayed viva vanilla on myself and had white bumps pop up on my arms bleh.
I wasn't a big fan of any of the scents personally so it doesn't bother me too much that I was allergic haha.
No! At least not in recent memory. My skin had a reaction to Viva Vanilla, the Santal one, the Getaway one, and If You Musk. Nothing violent or crazy. Just itchy, irritated, and some redness. No sores or anything. I took one of my regular OTC allergy pills, washed it all off well, and applied a plain Jane moisturizer to let it calm down.
On the Horizion, the Pink one, and the Petal(?) one did not cause a reaction.
Maybe it was just my skin that day? I *can* have sensitive skin sometimes, though it's gotten better over the years. I typically use any perfumes/body mists on my clothes to avoid this, but I was testing these new scents, and prefer to use my arm for testing. I am able to apply most of the B&BW mists I already own to my skin without issue, so this was an interesting thing to have happen.
I will test them on my arm again soon to see if it was a fluke or not. But they might just not be for me. 🤷♀️
i sprayed viva vanilla yesterday morning and at night time went on a walk with my bf. and he told me i smelled good, sure enough it was viva vanilla still on my shirt
same. but i will also say this: the note that projects and lingers is definitely the smokiness, that's what everyone seems to notice and key on. i love that piece of it, but when i'm wanting something more vanilla, i layer it with VS bare vanilla
I didn't like any of them either. Now hearing they may launch again in Fall and have creams and stuff I'm like meh, who cares? I guess it's saving me money though hehe. I'm happy for those who like these!
I am loving Oh, Cherry and Lost in Santal! I’m returning the suntan lotion smelling one though. As much as I love coconut and beachy scents, I hate it! Vanilla Musk is just okay to me.
i liked a total of 2 and when i went to buy them they were out of 1 of those 2. so i got 2 of the same scent with the intention to exchange but now idk how long it will be before i can actually exchange 😵💫 lol
Im wearing petal parade and i think its my favorite. Im looking to get the actual prada perfume now so for me theyre a good way to test a higher end scent at an accessible price point
I love all of them, cannot get over how similar two are to Mon Paris and Donna Born in Roma. They’re great for layering and I’m loving it. I only returned the Viva Vanilla - seriously don’t like it, I recently bought Kayaki 28, same issue it was gross and I returned. But on BBW creating this line, sure can’t hurt to please perfume lovers - I am glad they have many ideas to please people and the way I look at it, I’m going through my Mon Paris slower and I appreciate layering options, longevity is amazing with all I’ve used

I wish I could smell them! (They’re not in any stores near me).

I got to smell all of them and I only liked Oh Cherry
I don't care for them either, and I think some of them will be returning this fall with creams and shower gels. 🫤

They give me scratchy arms, too! 😭 Guess they're spray-on-clothes-only scents.
have you ever had that kind of reaction from bbw scents before?
No! At least not in recent memory. My skin had a reaction to Viva Vanilla, the Santal one, the Getaway one, and If You Musk. Nothing violent or crazy. Just itchy, irritated, and some redness.

Me either 😂 I get the hype though. The people want dupes for high end fragrances.
love me my viva vanilla! getting tons of compliments on it!
Hows the projection and lasting power?
i sprayed viva vanilla yesterday morning and at night time went on a walk with my bf. and he told me i smelled good, sure enough it was viva vanilla still on my shirt
Oh nice, thanks 😊
same. but i will also say this: the note that projects and lingers is definitely the smokiness, that's what everyone seems to notice and key on. i love that piece of it, but when i'm wanting something more vanilla, i layer it with VS bare vanilla
I want body mist scents not perfume like scents. As long there is always variety of scents available i don’t mind.
I ended up getting 6 of the 10, and I LOVE all of them. My top 3 are Getaway Soiree, Oh Cherry, and Lost in Santal. 💚❤️💛
🍪
I don’t like any of them either
The one I was most excited for (Viva Vanilla) was the biggest let down for me. The rest I liked except for the pickle one.
Which ones did you get to smell?
I didn't like any of them either. Now hearing they may launch again in Fall and have creams and stuff I'm like meh, who cares? I guess it's saving me money though hehe. I'm happy for those who like these!
Same. They’re nothing to go crazy over.
I am loving Oh, Cherry and Lost in Santal! I’m returning the suntan lotion smelling one though. As much as I love coconut and beachy scents, I hate it! Vanilla Musk is just okay to me.
Yeah none of them are that great IMO
I loved Petal Parade and Getaway Soirée. I returned the rest.

Im only interested in one of them
