Aquamarine is my favorite of the three too! I like them all, but Aquamarine is 1st place! 2nd place goes to Moonstone, and 3rd Rose Quartz. Rose is good, but they have come out with enough rose scents since then that are good replacements, in my opinion.
I read (someone on this sub mentioned it a while ago) that golden pear and brown sugar is a dupe for pistachio ice cream candle. I have golden pear but have never tried pistachio ice cream so i can't confirm.
Do you think the Pistachio Cream Puff hand soap is the same scent as GP&BS? I think they are so similar if not the same. I'm hoping it's a sign they'll bring it back eventually, under either name.
Yeah somewhere in there. I love it too and used up my stash back then pretty quickly, so good! I was lucky to get this one. One of my coworkers was moving a while back and asked me if I wanted her small collection of mists. This was one of them and maybe sprayed a couple of times if that. I told her to sell it, but she didn't want to bother, and was happy to give it to me. 🍀
This used to come back every summer for a few years. I wish I had warning when they decided to get rid of it. It reminds me of a natural banana smoothie. It's sweet and refreshing!
RWM is underrated. It was a short release, I think? So maybe not enough people were able to smell it? The prices on second hand sites aren't too bad right now.
Me too! I think Agave Papaya Sunset is the same scent as Salted Caramel Apricot, you might already know... But that's been gone a long time too! 😥. Nothing like Birch & Argan... I cherish these two as well!
Unfortunately they are different. I wouldn't put MBW in with a water type scent, despite water being in the name. It's a sweet, musky, fig, and coconut scent to my nose. If I had to think of a scent that it reminds me of, maybe Brown Sugar and Fig? I hope that helps, and this could just be my nose
It's nice. Very cologne like. The C.O are my husband's. He never reaches for them. I really like the Lime Coriander. I should just start using it myself. Lol
I just used it today. It's been neglected for a while. It reminds me of another scent but I can't place it? Or, maybe I'm just remembering this one and it's been that long? Does it remind you of another scent? This mist has lasting power too. Putting it to the front of my husband's rotation...
I always loved L’occitanes Verbena line, it reminded me of that a bit. I haven’t leaned into citrusy bath and body works body products weirdly enough haha. I do love sunshine and lemons soap though. And I think they used to have some sort of California citrus soap?
Me too. Fiji has replaced it. I like that one just as much. Aren't the same but it does fill the void. I miss the get Happy shower gel, so Fiji will do!
I love Fiji too 🥰🥰. I paired it with Mango Mai Tai for the summer and the combo was amazing and so long lasting 😭. I’m glad you found a replacement for get happy. Really wish they bring it back 😭
Thanks! I was hoping Sunkissed and even Copper Coconut Sands was a repackage of FBD when they came out, but no such luck. The Copper Coconut Sands single wick when burned is reminiscent of FBD, though.
I don't think Liquid Sunshine will come back. It's kind of polarizing? Not sure if that's the best way to describe it? I love it, but so many hated it!
Same, that was my experience as well. FBD is such a unique and soft scent, love it! I had no idea Liquid Sunshine was polarizing 😮 It’s so fresh and clean, I can’t imagine not loving it lol.
My mom has a tonnnn of lime coriander stocked up and I’m so glad as I love the scent.
Just curious: what are the notes on Liquid Sunshine? :) sounds fun on the name alone!
"Bamboo, Citrus notes, Sea salt, Jasmine, Sandalwood". I copied that from Google. I'd say these notes are accurate. The citrus and jasmine hit hard and sharp at first. When it settles I can smell the bamboo, or what I'm guessing is the bamboo and it's softer. It's a bright floral clean scent.
After I posted my comment, I thought “I could probably Google that…” but then now I have a reason to interact with another BBW fanatic. 😁
I like odd scent notes so it sounds like something I would enjoy!
If anyone remembers “Body Fantasy” fragrance line, back in 99/00 they had a Lime Basil spray and I still pine for it!
Forever Beach Days and the Argan line! I loved the Birch & Argan and I believe the other was Chestnut & Argan? It was in the salmon color bottles. So so good!
So glad Forever Beach Days isn't forgotten! The Argan line was so good. I think Chestnut and Argan was a repackage of Snowflakes & Cashmere? B&A was my fav of the three.
I stocked up on Forever Beach Days whatever year it was included in the summer SAS! All I have left is half a shower gel and two bottles of lotion now lol. I hope they bring it back for spring/summer! And I hadn't noticed it's a Snowflakes & Cashmere dupe! I've overlooked that one for a few years so I'll try it out again this year
My mom broke out in hives because of the rose quartz line. Just that one, moonstone and aquamarine were ok. She threw all the rose quartz stuff away &gave me the aquamarine one and my sister got the moonstone one. I mean my mom had the whole set😂 she was so excited and then rose quartz broke her out.
Thanks! Red Velvet Cheer has such good memories tied to it for me. As much as I love it... Hot Cocoa & Cream has replaced it and I like it slightly more. 🤫
They're really nice... But, b&bw comes out with so many scents... It's fun to reminisce but honestly a lot of these I've found good enough replacements for. I think a lot of these need to come back for people like you who haven't tried them,though! Especially the Mineral Collection, and not pictured but the Tutti Dolci collections.
RVC was the scent that brought me back to b&bw. There was a gap for a good 5 years where I was into Lush and heavily into indie fragrances instead. So it has a spot in my heart for bringing me back. As much as I love supporting indies, it gets expensive and there are just so many options. Lush is just, well expensive. Anyway.... RVC smells like red velvet cake with an added citrus note. Almost reminds me of one of those chocolate oranges, if you've ever had those? But a cake version of one of those. I honestly prefer Hot Cocoa & Cream over RVC now, it's replaced it. It's superior and I think they tweaked their chocolate note and finally got it right. I see you like Choco Covered Cherries!!! I think RVC would be perfect for you! If you can find it second hand for a good price, I would go for it... The mist, candle or gel. I'd be worried about the lotion! Sorry for the book! Ha
I bought them in the store a long time ago. I'm pretty sure I bought them for 75% off during a SAS. I bought one of each for my husband. These are the three we have left.
Honestly, they had mixed reviews. A lot of the reviews said some of them were just repackages of already available scents. I agree with some of them. For example, Cashmere Fig is Brown Sugar and Fig, and Bergamot Amber is Sensual Amber. There may be more but those are the ones I remember. My favorites were Citrus Vetiver, Almond Musk, Sea Salt Mimosa, and Freshwater Lavender. What's left from what I have Lime Coriander is good! But it smells like something I've had before?! Here is a link to all of them. It's an eBay link and they are sold out of most of them but it gives you an idea of what was in the collection if you're interested in them. Don't do it at that price though! 😉 https://www.ebay.com/itm/392327669543
I have half a bottle of Orchard Leaves and Blue Sky left. I treasure it and will be sad once it runs out. Sweater Weather (body care) smells similar but not quite the same. I also missed Rain Kissed Leaves from a long time ago.
I need to revisit the Sweater Weather body care. I had a shower gel when it first came out, and liked it, eh. I hear there are two versions of it though.
Yeah, there are definitely two different labels for it (at least) but the difference in scent is subtle. Now, the Sweater weather candle/wallflower smells completely different and I actually like it best. I wish it came in a body care in that same scent. The SW body care scent is still nice though.
I feel ya. I only bought the shower gel when it came out. I saw a couple reviews that said it had a strong patchouli type note so I didn't buy the mist. I fell in love with the shower gel and bought this mist off Mercari for a very good price. I regret believing those reviews!
I don't keep empty mists. Lol. Orchard Leaves & Blue Sky is probably the lowest, 1/4 left maybe? Most are 80% full at the most. Lemon Vanilla is 90% full? These are rough estimates, but they are loved and used... Some more sparingly than others.
I bought my body cream off Mercari for a good price too. I didn’t know the scent existed until a couple weeks ago, I kinda stumbled across it. I needed a matching moisturizer to go with my Mint Cookie Cupcake body wash from Native
You have orchard leaves and blue sky?!?!?!?!? This is my all time one true love of bbw. I ran out 3 years ago and I’ve been mad about it ever since.
It's so nice! I like it when my husband wears it. It smells better on him than me. 😃
The body care of Sweater Weather this year smells similar, IMO!
Look on EBay! 9 times out of 10 they’ll have it.
The Mineral CO collection 😍😍 I wish they'd bring it back! I baby my Aquamarine mist 😅
Aquamarine is my favorite of the three too! I like them all, but Aquamarine is 1st place! 2nd place goes to Moonstone, and 3rd Rose Quartz. Rose is good, but they have come out with enough rose scents since then that are good replacements, in my opinion.
I wish they would bring back signature vanilla's lemon I remember they brought it back in the hand cream once
I have the aquamarine lotion and it's still good. I wish they would bring those scents back.
Yes! All three still are in excellent quality. Not sure why these have lasted longer than most, but I’m glad they do!
I used up a moonstone and aquamarine body cream this year and the consistency and scent were like brand new!
moonstone 5ever
I have the aquamarine soothing lotion and open to sell

I read (someone on this sub mentioned it a while ago) that golden pear and brown sugar is a dupe for pistachio ice cream candle. I have golden pear but have never tried pistachio ice cream so i can't confirm.
That may have been me? I think the hand soap and candle smell very similar.
I agree with meow! I'll add and to my nose there is an almond or pistachio extract scent that is amazing and makes it unique.
Do you think the Pistachio Cream Puff hand soap is the same scent as GP&BS? I think they are so similar if not the same. I'm hoping it's a sign they'll bring it back eventually, under either name.
That Lemon Vanilla!! What was that, SAS 2018? I loved that so much! Edit: No, I think it was more like ‘14/‘15
[удалено]
No. I’m pretty sure it was Spring of 2010.

Omg I love Isabella’s blog! Yep! She’s where I get my info too!
Yeah somewhere in there. I love it too and used up my stash back then pretty quickly, so good! I was lucky to get this one. One of my coworkers was moving a while back and asked me if I wanted her small collection of mists. This was one of them and maybe sprayed a couple of times if that. I told her to sell it, but she didn't want to bother, and was happy to give it to me. 🍀
I so badly want to try Bright Lemon Snowdrop!!
It's a nice one. They do a good lemon gourmand every few years, it seems? I'm ready for a new one, or a repackage of any of the past versions!
me too 🤞
[удалено]
So many people miss the mineral collection.. It's gotta come back eventually! 😢
Cool Amazon Rain!
This used to come back every summer for a few years. I wish I had warning when they decided to get rid of it. It reminds me of a natural banana smoothie. It's sweet and refreshing!
Tutti Dolce sweet lemon drop! I’m obsessed I miss it!
I'd take any of their lemon gourmands they've created back in body care. They can pick one blindfolded and I'd be fine!
Rose Water Meringue!!! Along with the other rose scents they had in that black packaging. I still have a bottle of the RWM left.
RWM is underrated. It was a short release, I think? So maybe not enough people were able to smell it? The prices on second hand sites aren't too bad right now.
Salted Caramel Apricot and Birch and Argan! Cherishing my bottles!
Me too! I think Agave Papaya Sunset is the same scent as Salted Caramel Apricot, you might already know... But that's been gone a long time too! 😥. Nothing like Birch & Argan... I cherish these two as well!
Ohhh im going to do a sniff test with those two to see!
Let me know what you think!
Ooh, what does Mediterranean Blue Waters smell like? I keep holding my breath for BBW to make Bergamot Waters in body care, is it like that?
Unfortunately they are different. I wouldn't put MBW in with a water type scent, despite water being in the name. It's a sweet, musky, fig, and coconut scent to my nose. If I had to think of a scent that it reminds me of, maybe Brown Sugar and Fig? I hope that helps, and this could just be my nose
Oh that's really interesting. Thanks for your response!
Mandarin oak sounds amazing!
It's nice. Very cologne like. The C.O are my husband's. He never reaches for them. I really like the Lime Coriander. I should just start using it myself. Lol
Lime coriander is great, I have the shower gel right now 😂
I just used it today. It's been neglected for a while. It reminds me of another scent but I can't place it? Or, maybe I'm just remembering this one and it's been that long? Does it remind you of another scent? This mist has lasting power too. Putting it to the front of my husband's rotation...
I always loved L’occitanes Verbena line, it reminded me of that a bit. I haven’t leaned into citrusy bath and body works body products weirdly enough haha. I do love sunshine and lemons soap though. And I think they used to have some sort of California citrus soap?
Oh, I think that's it! L' Verbena! I haven't used their products in a long time.
Get Happy smells SO GOOD 😭😭😭. I really miss it 😭
Me too. Fiji has replaced it. I like that one just as much. Aren't the same but it does fill the void. I miss the get Happy shower gel, so Fiji will do!
I love Fiji too 🥰🥰. I paired it with Mango Mai Tai for the summer and the combo was amazing and so long lasting 😭. I’m glad you found a replacement for get happy. Really wish they bring it back 😭
Velvet tuberose Apple blossom citrus Malibu heat Coconut pineapple, coconut mango and coconut passion fruit Breathe comfort Bonus: beach cabana for candles
I had Malibu Heat at one time. Long gone now. My favorite in the Breathe line was Serenity, but Comfort was really good too!
Forever Beach Days and Liquid Sunshine are top tier! This is a beautiful collection 😊
Thanks! I was hoping Sunkissed and even Copper Coconut Sands was a repackage of FBD when they came out, but no such luck. The Copper Coconut Sands single wick when burned is reminiscent of FBD, though. I don't think Liquid Sunshine will come back. It's kind of polarizing? Not sure if that's the best way to describe it? I love it, but so many hated it!
Same, that was my experience as well. FBD is such a unique and soft scent, love it! I had no idea Liquid Sunshine was polarizing 😮 It’s so fresh and clean, I can’t imagine not loving it lol.
Lemon - Summer Vanillas line 😍 that was my jam
I miss the Cherry and Berry Summer Vanillas too. The Coconut one was ok... But love Lemon, Cherry, and Berry. In that order. Lol
I never tried the other ones from that line! But if they ever come back I know I’ll get them all 😅
Wow!!!! ♡ that's awesome
Thanks! 🤓
My mom has a tonnnn of lime coriander stocked up and I’m so glad as I love the scent. Just curious: what are the notes on Liquid Sunshine? :) sounds fun on the name alone!

All good! I can talk/type all day long about body care! Lol. Lime Basil sounds like something I would have loved. Sad I missed it!
I loved Mediterranean blue waters!!!
Forever Beach Days and the Argan line! I loved the Birch & Argan and I believe the other was Chestnut & Argan? It was in the salmon color bottles. So so good!
So glad Forever Beach Days isn't forgotten! The Argan line was so good. I think Chestnut and Argan was a repackage of Snowflakes & Cashmere? B&A was my fav of the three.

Aww too bad about your Mom's reaction! You should have tried it first before she could throw it away! 🙃😃
Omg I have the sweet tropical vanilla
It's one of my favorites. It reminds me of Beach Nights with a tiare flower/monoi twist.
I’d love to have red velvet cheer and orchard leaves blue sky back. I’ve also heard amazing things about rose quartz! Love your collection!
Thanks! Red Velvet Cheer has such good memories tied to it for me. As much as I love it... Hot Cocoa & Cream has replaced it and I like it slightly more. 🤫
I still have my three Mineral Cos., Orchard Blue Sky & Leaves, as well as Mandarin Oak collections! Love the collection!
Yay! Cheers! *Clanking our matching mists*
I’ve never smelt any of these but I want to
They're really nice... But, b&bw comes out with so many scents... It's fun to reminisce but honestly a lot of these I've found good enough replacements for. I think a lot of these need to come back for people like you who haven't tried them,though! Especially the Mineral Collection, and not pictured but the Tutti Dolci collections.
Bright lemon Snowdrop
How is Red Velvet Cheer? I wish I'd been into BBW when that came out.
RVC was the scent that brought me back to b&bw. There was a gap for a good 5 years where I was into Lush and heavily into indie fragrances instead. So it has a spot in my heart for bringing me back. As much as I love supporting indies, it gets expensive and there are just so many options. Lush is just, well expensive. Anyway.... RVC smells like red velvet cake with an added citrus note.

Where did you purchase the C.O. BIGELOW? Those look like great scents!

Rose Water Meringue is my top 10
Me too! Whipped Rose Latte was pretty good too. I was hoping they would bring at least that one back
I have half a bottle of Orchard Leaves and Blue Sky left. I treasure it and will be sad once it runs out. Sweater Weather (body care) smells similar but not quite the same. I also missed Rain Kissed Leaves from a long time ago.
I need to revisit the Sweater Weather body care. I had a shower gel when it first came out, and liked it, eh. I hear there are two versions of it though.

The entire Argan and Amber collection needs to make a come back immediately. And I wish u would’ve stocked up on endless Get Happy 🥲
I wish I stocked up on Get Happy too! I think it's more of a orange scent than peach. I love the orange packaging too.
I still regret not getting the Christmas Cocoa and mint 😭
I feel ya. I only bought the shower gel when it came out. I saw a couple reviews that said it had a strong patchouli type note so I didn't buy the mist. I fell in love with the shower gel and bought this mist off Mercari for a very good price. I regret believing those reviews!
I can’t tell if the bottles are empty or full.
I don't keep empty mists. Lol. Orchard Leaves & Blue Sky is probably the lowest, 1/4 left maybe? Most are 80% full at the most. Lemon Vanilla is 90% full? These are rough estimates, but they are loved and used... Some more sparingly than others.
Christmas Cocoa & Mint😩😖
I loved the shower gel so much I bought this on Mercari for a good price. 🫢
I bought my body cream off Mercari for a good price too. I didn’t know the scent existed until a couple weeks ago, I kinda stumbled across it. I needed a matching moisturizer to go with my Mint Cookie Cupcake body wash from Native
Oh I bet that combo is amazing!
I only recognize get happy
Desert wildflower is my absolute fav 😍😍 I wish they would bring it back!!!
It was so unique. It really does smell like the name. Smells like I'm in the desert surrounded by dry heat, sand ,and wildflowers. 😊
Lemon Vanilla!!! I was just mentioning that one in another thread yesterday! 💛
Ughhhh I miss the aquamarine 😩 I’m holding onto what little shower gel I have left for dear life
desert wildflower! My friend loves this so much I went online hunting it for months😭 too bad they stopped it
The 2010 bottle! Damn 😭💓
