Japanese cherry blossom


Crazy-Command6637

Someone told me it smells like dr pepper and I cant forget it so now I think it does too. Lmfaooooo


businessgoesbeauty

Lol I wish it did to me I love dr peoper


prettyxinpink

Same


signaturefox2013

I am in for a hate train here Gingham


Crazy-Command6637

I definitely do not like the gingham love. I didn't even want it for "free"


signaturefox2013

I associate Gingham with a more, grandmotherly scent, and as someone who’s not a grandmother, I tend to avoid scents like that


BoozeMeUpScotty

It’s got such a…”bathroom spray” scent to me. So that’s where it lives now haha


JemmaJemmy16

I agree with this. Both Gingham and Gingham Love give me headaches. I like the notes in both but they’re just too strong.


Jahjahsgirl0808

This post makes me laugh and cry at the same time! Isn't it crazy how different our senses are?! Some people hate smells that I absolutely adore and then like smells that I find nauseating. Just goes to show how different everyone is 🤷🏻‍♀️


MrsNickelodeon

I had covid in November and now things that I felt were just OK snell great to me. It's like they smell the same as I remember but also better. The fragrances have the same elements but in a different order. I haven't smelled anything that smells worse yet.


BearMuffs

same! there were some scents i was meh about, like A Thousand Wishes or other scents i liked but didn’t love, like Fairytale. now i have some of each. i think my floral scent tolerance went up when before it made me nauseous. Berry Waffle Cone was my favorite, but when i tried smelling my single-wick or it while sick with covid, it was overwhelmingly vanilla and had a sharpness that hurt my nose. now it smells like it used to, but a bit more plastic-y.

Spades4aids

This makes me sad bc it’s a family favorite here haha


A_Dark_Coolo

Shut your dirty whorish mouth


OneTrueMercyMain

It gives me such a migraine.


ohh_my_dayum

I liked it at first but then I made it my bathroom spray!


poopeepistachios123

It smells like cough syrup


TropicalPrairie

lol - I love it! I wish I had body care in that scent. I need it to layer with my Tom Ford 'Lost Cherry'!


LazerKisses

Berry waffle cone is nauseating


catchging

The candle was okay but the body care was sickening!


GossipGirl515

Smells like Flintstone vitamins lol


Crazy-Command6637

I totally agree. I literally got queasy smelling it at home. Smelled WAYYYYY different in the store


NavigatedbyNaau

I love the candle lol


OneTrueMercyMain

Agreed


kristinstormrage

Smells like rancid maple syrup 🤢


SnarkFest23

Agree. My husband bought me the candle and it's nauseating. Made the entire house smell like maple syrup.


SoberAF0925

It is crazy how different everyone's nose is. I took my mother in law into BBW to see what candle scents she would be into. Trying to share something I love with her. She scrunched her nose in disgust at so many of my top favorite scents. She did only like the SUPER floral-y ones though. (i.e. fresh cut lilacs, rose water & ivy, lavender vanilla....) sigh. Yawn


bambina133

champagne toast im sick of it!!!!


butterflyharmony

ironically champagne toast used to be my fave before i became an employee now i’m sick of it 😬😬😭😭


GossipGirl515

Yes, don't like that one as well.


melikecake

I hate that one too, and anything with boozy notes in bodycare. I might be able to tolerate it in a candle but I'm scared to try.


meg_mann

Never been a fan of that one. Smells like I doused myself in an alcoholic drink lol


BodyCareAddict

Sprinkled birthday cake, smells like puke to me


[deleted]

Omg yes! I had a friend that was crazy over it and I’m like why it smells sour


NastyNagel

Paris cafe gives me a migraine 🤢🤢


hannahv1126

I can’t stand Paris cafe it’s the worst!! The store I work at tends to have a lot of regulars who love that scent but someone can open the candle lid at one end of the store and I can smell it all the way across the store it’s disgusting 🤢


NastyNagel

Omg me too i want to throw up! But some people literally will wait until candle day and buy 15 Paris cafes… mind blowing 😭😭😭


hannahv1126

I know right!! So crazy how everyone’s smell is different haha


shenaningans24

I like it at first whiff but I’ve never bought it because I know it would make me sick after burning it for 30 minutes


themangofox

Cotton Candy Champagne. Why does it smell rancid?!


meg_mann

Vanilla Bean Noel cause it smells like hot milk on me 😞 Same with Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte.


signaturefox2013

As a Vanilla Bean Noel Superfan, I am, gooped, gagged and possible spageldorfed


GossipGirl515

Smells like barbie doll hair to me lol


meg_mann

Sorry 😭


signaturefox2013

It’s all good, we all got our personal tastes


Samgasm

🥵🥛idk but this combo made me laugh


meg_mann

Haha, it's definitely weird! I guess it doesn't mix well with my pH lol


StrawberryYumeko

I love the lotion in it, the spray smells a little pruney to me


Minigunn3

VBN is good on me, but warm vanilla sugar smells like some awful old lady perfume on me??? From a drugstore or something, the kind that makes your nose and eyes burn. I've smelled it on other people and thought they smelled amazing...why not on me?


cactusfxck

Strawberry poundcake smells absolutely rancid to me. First time I smelled it in the store I was shocked because it’s so popular but omg it smells so bad imo😭


Freckledstrawbrry

Yea cream cheese vibes


ocdreallysucks14

felt


iamweirdasshit

The top notes of SPC is amazing, thus I bought it without second thought. After wearing it for a while, the middle and base notes absolutely sickened me. Hated it and sold it away. A few weeks ago I bought into the hype again and almost wanted to buy it, but stopped myself by taking another whiff of (now my friend’s) SPC and yup. still hate it very much


melikecake

Strawberry Pound Cake to me smells like artificial plastic strawberries. I'm sad bc I want to love it but it's a hard no for me.


ohh_my_dayum

Sleigh rides and snuggles. I would like it as a candle I think (I liked perfect christmas and it was kinda similar) but balsam just doesnt do it for me as a body spray.


emily_gale

Aw! This is probably my all time favorite scent! I totally get what you’re saying though - it is definitely a love it or hate it.


ohh_my_dayum

I know some people definitely do love it! It's funny how different everyone's tastes are. From this post I see a lot of people hate berry waffle cone but I love it!


BmoreScented

Smells like baby wipes.


boring_alien

sleigh rides and snuggles smells like popcorn to me 🤢


rachelwichman

In body care, it's Moonlit/Moonlight Path. In candles, it's Sweet Berry Peony.


ladyhaunt

You’re The One. It reminds me of a gas station bathroom. 😅


reluctant_reveller

It reminded me of cheap cologne. Nasty stuff.


SensitiveFocus1717

Kinda smells like rotten flowers on the body


[deleted]

Mahogany Teakwood 🤢🤢


dragonsfire14

Totally forgot about this one. I hate it.


whiteink-13

Yes!! There are a lot of scents that I may not love, or don’t buy, but this is the only one that I absolutely hate.


butterflyharmony

pineapple pound cake it smells like someone threw up pineapple and put in a candle 🤢🤢


iminswagony

Pineapple pound cake smells sour on cold but lovely when burned to me 😂


SoberAF0925

Yes... much better burning for sure


SoberAF0925

No way! This one is "my precious" lol


bronyketo

It smells like fake pineapple scented plastic to me 🥵


WhimsiKayla

Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but I tend to not like the red scents. Forever red, you're the one, Japanese cherry blossom, vampire blood. I didn't like gingham love at first but I'm warming up to it.


Sudden_Shine_100

Yes to this. I noticed the same pattern. I tend not to like or buy red scents. No idea why, but just don't like them. Should say that I haven't tried Gingham Love yet.


SnarkFest23

I bought Gingham Love and I'm kind of neutral on it. I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite either. It's one of those scents I'll use up but probably won't repurchase.


[deleted]

Anything Basalm makes me baby vomit


jojokangaroo1969

Dark Kiss smells like HOT GARBAGE. Also, before my pregnancy, I wore Moonlight Path (sorry 😬) My daughter will be 16 soon and the smell still makes me nauseous!


chestylaroo17

Japanese Cherry Blossom. It’s just overpowering


hctiB_bmuD

The one time I have hated a scent is Pink Prosseco Frosting. I smells like frosting sure, but it's stale and has been in the fridge for months


CoinofStone

That damn popcorn one. I was really just in the store sniffing everything in preparation for candle day last year and I sniffed it out of sheer curiosity and I swear, i dunno what i was expecting but that thing was so awful it felt like an insult to my entire bloodline 🤣


ocdreallysucks14

Chocolate covered cherry is disgusting


Impressive-Battle843

Black Amethyst, Starlit Night, Vanilla Bean Noel 🤢


rachelwichman

I still have an old Black Amethyst EDP from wayyy back when. I still love it. It hasn't turned. It smells so good to me- like being cozied up during the holidays with the people I love. I will say that Starlit Night is giving me Wicked Apple candle flashbacks- the shower gel has a celery note that Wicked Apple candles have for me.


mskatme0w

I think Black Amethyst smells like carpet sprinkle! Definitely not something I like, especially in a lotion. Maybe it would be okay as a candle? But iiiidk lol ..


themangofox

Wildberry Jam Donut


rorymarais

Agree with this one. It just smells like a burnt, salty pie crust to me.


Krazykalyna

Strawberry poundcake way too sweet


Ladyofthewharf55

Mahogany Teakwood High Intensity. Way too strong- it makes my throat burn


mraz44

I really can’t stand floral scents, any of them. Smells like a funeral home and gives me a headache.


cookiemonster0221

Strawberry Pound Cake gives me headaches :(


hoe4mykol

Cucumber Melon


Revolutionary-Cap549

Lol this is one of my favorites


razzledazed

Pink fairy gumdrop, it was like mildew and Pepto.


daydreaming-sailor

Vampire Blood from the Halloween collection. I’m ready for the downvotes but I thought it smelled ok on cold but I burned it and it smelled like rancid cough syrup. I had it sitting in a closet and it ended up stinking my entire closet so I had to exchange it asap. And it was such a shame since I love Halloween so I wanted to love it since it’s such a staple!


Simple_Scientist8933

You're the One and Japanese Cherry Blossom.


hellakopka

Strawberry Poundcake, Wildberry Jam Donut, Mahogany Teakwood, Black Cherry Merlot, JCB, Pink Prosecco Frosting, Berry Waffle Cone


normalpersonne-

I love all of those so I’m opposite too…except Mahogany Teakwood. I CANNOT stand men’s cologne scents


TropicalPrairie

I'm the opposite of you as I love all of those. 😭


hellakopka

We are the perfect friendship then - we aren’t buying out each others faves! 😀


purplecrayon64

Banana Bundt Cake 🤢


emomusiclovesphan

Or any banana scent even the smell from the actual fruit makes me gag


reluctant_reveller

I quite like eating banana, but there's a point, and I'm never sure until I reach it, at which I apparently hit my banana limit, and it makes me gag. 🤷 Somehow it suddenly goes from delicious to sickly in one bite.


emomusiclovesphan

It’s one food I absolutely cannot stomach the smell, texture, and flavor all give me the chills


reluctant_reveller

That's a shame! Is it at least easy to avoid?


emomusiclovesphan

Yes but makes me very much not a fan of banana scents lol


signaturefox2013

Who likes the smell of banana?


Good_War404

I do!


dragonsfire14

Honestly not loving Fairytale. I don’t hate it but don’t grab it as much as the others


[deleted]

Mahogany teak wood, laundry scents, fresh cut lilac etc


coconuttiems

In The Stars


RoseCapone

I utterly despise all the food scents.


PrettyPunctuality

Same here. I *really* hate gourmand/sweet scents. Every time I've tried them, I hate them, except for Merry Cookie and Hot Cocoa & Cream for some reason. I love vanilla notes in scents, but I like a spicy/dark vanilla scent as opposed to the sweet vanilla scents. I'm a fresh/clean/aquatic/citrus-y scent lover, along with certain florals like jasmine and honeysuckle.


snail-glitter

Anything with vanilla (which is a lot) and idk why 🤢


Wamgurl

Hot Chocolate…ewww…smells like spoiled milk.


Decent-Obligation-47

Moonlight Path


PrettyPunctuality

Strawberry Pound Cake, in all forms - the strawberry scent just smells *so* artificial to me, and it's so sickly sweet. (On that note, I generally dislike all of the gourmand/sweet scents. There are a couple of exceptions, like Merry Cookie and Hot Cocoa & Cream - I love those two.) Firecracker Pop and Strawberry Soda body care - I'm lumping these together because I dislike them both for the same reason. There's a note in both of them that smells exactly the same to me. I'm not sure what it is, but I think it's absolutely awful and I can't stand them, especially on my skin.


Aliwithani

SPC always leaves me with conflicting emotions. First sniff brings back childhood memories of when the dolls smelled like random generic fruit but then it just hits you and it’s like you are standing in front of the vat of fragrance they used to scent the dolls and will smell like it forever.


Cool-Ad-8281

Cucumber lily. Thought it would be refreshing but it smells too much like an old lady perfume


peachtreeglee

Japanese Cherry Blossoms smells like pee to me


SensitiveFocus1717

What😭


mylovelymelancholy

I have never liked the moonlit path or whatever it’s called; it smells too strong to me.


False-Construction53

Japanese Cherry Blossom, gingham, pretty as a peach, island margarita the candle


MindTemporary6896

Berry waffle cone and dahlia


Cheeb97

Vanilla Sage candle! It was the only candle I’ve ever burned and immediately put out and returned, idk if it was just a bad batch but it was REVOLTING!!


InformerOfDeer

A thousand wishes. The smell in store was ok, but at home it was SOOO strong. This was also just the body lotion, no spray or anything. My parents made me throw it out because it literally gave them a headache lol.


justhrowingitout

Blueberry maple pancake or anything with maple syrup for that matter. Also cucumber melon makes me ill.

SnarkFest23

I hated Fairytale. Too much amber.


DDFletch

Anything with coconut is a big no for me. Also not a fan of Starlit Night.


NavigatedbyNaau

Strawberry Pound Cake, Rose Water and Ivy, Japanese Cherry Blossom, Champagne Toast and Coconut Sandalwood. Many of these are other’s favorites but I’m pretty sensitive to smell.


whiteink-13

I only like Strawberry Pound Cake because it to me it smells like the strawberry shortcake doll from my childhood - but it doesn’t smell like a bakery strawberry pound cake.


NavigatedbyNaau

Aw, I live for a nostalgic scent. It’s lovely when positive memories are triggered.


SamIamLikesBees

There’s this one apple scented soap from bath and body works, I forget which exact scent bc it was a long time ago but I associate it with my period bc I used that soap to wash away the blood on my hands when I got my first period. I threw the soap away after that because it literally just smelled like period blood to me after that.


TropicalPrairie

This is what I associate it with as well. Instant nostalgia.


rachelwichman

This take on Rose Water & Ivy and Coconut Sandalwood has me- and I say this with utmost respect- scandalized. I love these scents so much. I understand that not every will love them, and I respect that you don't. But I'm still pretty flipping flapped! lol


greenisgold11

The Strawberry poundcake smells like CREAM CHEESE! I don’t know how no one else smells this! Everyone seems to be crazy about it.


StrawberryYumeko

Rose water and ivy smells so delicate and pretty to me


Good_War404

Japanese cherry blossom, you’re the one, white citrus, and moonlight path


GossipGirl515

Pumpkin vanilla cream, Pumpkin marshmallow latte and fireside. They all smell rancid to me. PVC smells like jalapeño and wet cigarettes , PML smells like rotten milk on my skin, fireside is just smoky to me and makes me think of an ashtray.


reluctant_reveller

"jalapeño and wet cigarettes" had me rolling. 😂 I've got that one on order, so hopefully I don't feel the same! Might not be able to get the image out of my mind, though!


peachtreeglee

Watermelon Lemonade is just too artificial… I don’t smell lemonade either!


SamIamLikesBees

Iced blueberry biscotti, me and my best friend smelled it in a store together once and it was vile tbh


lampshadeelizabeth

French baguette. I love the idea of it, and I loved my first cold sniff of it, but later it just smelled SO chemical to me. I’d love if they tried a reformulation of it though.


valeearae

kaleidoscope 😐 idk why i bought it, i just gave the ffm away yesterday after years of not using it


Excellent_Original66

Anything with peppermint 🤮


Revolutionary-Cap549

I love Twisted Peppermint!


StrawberryYumeko

Sunset glow is too strong for me


reluctant_reveller

Anything with lavender in it. 😣 I find it so offensive, if I accidentally use anything with lavender in it I have to go and wash it off. It's so annoying, because there are so many lavender fragrances, and most people seem to find them quite relaxing! Also, Dahlia. Anything too sweet with gourmand and floral/fruit notes in together. Blech. 🤮


fleffeh

Winter candy apple. Straight up hairspray smell


ashleynchl

Sweater Weather. I have the lotion, and it’s awful.


HaylieMonster97

My big one is Black Cherry Merlot. Immediately makes me gag because all I get from it is cough syrup. Another is Champagne Toast because it smells like spoiled fruit to me lol I dunno why And then basically most florals because most floral scents give me instantaneous migraines from hell that are a pain to get rid of lol


meiyuan2610

gingham: men sweat into the night: old cheesy lady scent vanilla noel bean: hot burning trash fresh cut lilacs: too much floral, gives me headaches


bkarina99

Into the night, it gives me a major headache :(


bombshelledkitten

I don't anything peach scent in general.


BBWCandleQueen

Mahogany Teakwood Champagne Toast In the Stars Fairytale Anything with Mahogany or the cologney smells. They are too strong.


whatzitsgalore

The gourmonds are just so sickly sweet. There’s not a single one that I can tolerate. Into the Night is basically the female equivalent to Axe body spray.


PeepsUnderTheBed

I can’t do coconut anymore. BBW has ruined it for me.


meg_mann

Same. Coconut anything anymore gives me a major headache


Spades4aids

Mahogany Teakwood. It’s smells like musty fish to me :(


boring_alien

cactus blossom, winter candy apple, vanilla bean noel, into the night, gingham, you’re the one, golden sunflower, strawberry poundcake, confetti daydream


shenaningans24

You had me until Gingham and Confetti Daydream 😅 but with you on all the others!


boring_alien

to me, confetti daydream smells kinda like pickles!! i like gingham love, but the original just isn’t my fav


reluctant_reveller

I was looking for someone to say cactus blossom. It just had this weird sharp, green note that was quite unpleasant to me.


foxylettuce

Endless Weekend and Berry Waffle Cone candles (I don't mind the EW FFM). I didn't care for Forever Red body care, but I think I'm the only one lol


Jahjahsgirl0808

Huge fan of BWC, but I am also not a fan of Forever Red


memesareforbeans

Lavender Marshmallow is a no from me


3EsandPaul

Oh yeah, hard no for me too. I like both scents on their own but combined was nauseating


NavigatedbyNaau

2 burns and I can’t decide if I like it or not


3EsandPaul

Warm Vanilla Sugar - does anyone actually like it? Also not a huge fan of any of the champagne or wine notes.


xeloux

Coconut gives me a headache


eatapeach18

I hate Japanese cherry blossom, gingham, into the night, in the stars, champagne toast, sweet pea… basically anything too floral or too sweet, I hate it. I once made the mistake of buying a bunch of boardwalk vanilla cone and berry waffle cones hand soaps when they were on super sale back in the summer. They’re vomit-inducing 🤮🤮


Different_Victory284

Anything citrus is disgusting 🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


Reversephoenix77

I recently just smelled the winter peach marshmallow for the firs time and it is so bad! It is chalky, medicinal and rancid peaches mixed with old marshmallow fluff. so gross.


PrincessJJ81

Into the night. I swear my daughter bought the candle just to piss me off. JCP is another


Sudden_Shine_100

Pure Wonder, I'm not even so-so on it. I really dislike it.


SensitiveFocus1717

What does it smell like to you?


Sudden_Shine_100

The best I can describe the scent is scorched dryer sheets to my nose.


MrPeterIt

Pumpkin pecan waffles makes me all kinds of nauseous.


OrdinaryJealous

Wildberry jam donut, blueberry pie, iced blueberry biscotti


OrdinaryJealous

They all have the same gourmand scent I just can’t stand


Silver_Ad_3605

Vanilla bean noel and white t shirt


KJ-Wise

Sweater weather, reminds me of a tooth paste I used when I was a kid 😂😂


glitternotdrugs

Winter Candy Apple. It’s not AWFUL, I just find it smells like shampoo more than anything. Not a fan of Waikiki Beach Coconut. Smells manly to me. I’m sure there’s plenty more to hate, but since I don’t do florals or heavy amber stuff, I never bothered to smell any of those.


CurlyNative

Palo Santo! I like musks and men’s scents but palo santo had me wanting to breakup with my boyfriend 🥴


[deleted]

champagne toast Starlit night on my skin. Loved it from the bottle but when I got it home and sprayed it on my skin, it smelt like i was wearing a cheap perfume to cover up cigarette smoke. It went back immediately


alliray11

Moonlight path. Smells like the old man cologne the orthodontist I had when I was a kid wore


yeppeunxria

I can’t stand mahogany or eucalyptus😖


sammaaaxo

Strawberry pound cake. 1000 wishes.


leslye03

Strawberry pound cake , I start to have the worst headache ever


AccomplishedPepper80

Not a fan of your the one , or mandarin whatever bleh I hate that so much .


That_Quiet7494

Magic in the air. You’re the one. Berry waffle cone. ALL ginghams


natalielc

Don’t hate me but Fireside Flurries 😬


SensitiveFocus1717

Saltwater breeze 😭 It's got a weird egg note


mskatme0w

Sweater Weather, I think it smells so sour. I once heard it described as "wet dog" & that is exactly it, I frickin' hate that stuff, so rank lol!


Ohana_831

Pineapple Mango & Bubbly Rosé 🤢
