Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb



Scent: Pink Sangria
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml @ (2 pack refill)
Price: Retails for US12.50, I got these in an outlet for half price

About this fragrance:
A refreshing mix of zesty mandarin, crisp apple and sugared grapes and berries.

My Opinion:

I've really liked this scent, I would actually dare to say that it's one of my favorite B&B scent that I would repurchase, and that means alot to me, because so far I've only repurchased 1 scent from B&B and that would be Vanilla Bean Noel, which is my number 1 favorite scent from B&B.

Back to this scent, it's a mixture of something citrusy, fruity and sweet, although sweet, it is not overwhelming. Unfortunately, I've just went to the B&B webpage and notice that this was no longer available.... I really hope that they will bring this back.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb

 
Scent: Sea Island Cotton
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: 2 for US$15 or 3 for US$20
 
  • Top Notes: Crisp White Cotton, Clean Linen, Green Pear, Juicy Tangerine
  • Mid Notes: Lily of the Valley, Fresh Orange Blossom, Blue Freesia, White Cotton Blossom, Dewy Jasmine
  • Dry Notes: Ocean Musk, Soft Sandalwood, Vanilla Bean
My Opinion:
 
I've tried the body splash in the store and though that I liked it, it smells like clean laundry, but as a room fragrance I didn't really like it. I mean I don't hate it, but is not a scent that I'm crazy about. I had this in a twin pack, and I currently have it in the bathroom, I think I'll finish it, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

Bath and Body Works Sun Ripened Raspberry Shower Gel


Contents: 10 fl oz / 295 ml
Price: US12.50 (They usually have a but 3 get 3 free, that'll turn out to be US$6.25@)
  • Fragrance Top Notes: Raspberry, Florida Orange, Apple
  • Fragrance Mid Notes: Rose, Tagette, Green Bouquet, Ylang
  • Fragrance Base Note: Vanilla
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauramide DEA, TEA-Cocoyl Glutamate, Cocamidropropyl Betaine, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Chloride, Sodium PCA, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Carica Papaya Fruit Extract, Porpyle Glycol, Polyquaternium-140, Benzophenone-4, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylparaben, PEG-150 Distearate, Methlychloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, BHY, Yellow 6 (CI 15985, Red 40 (CI 16035), Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Red 33 (CI 17200).

My Opinion:
Most of the Bath and Body Works shower gels that are fruity scented tend to be a touch too sweet for my taste, but weird enough my hubby who doesn't like overly sweet stuffs seems to favor these body washes.
 
Anyway I usually love sweet scented stuffs but I don't know why but these fruity overly sweet scented shower gels tend to be a bit overwhelming. I went to Bath and Body Works webpage and this scent appears to have been discontinued, and if I remember correctly I got these right before X'mas and it has already been discontinued...

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles


Contents: 1.3 oz
Scent: Fresh Bamboo
Price: 3 for US$10

 
Take a much-needed timeout and recharge with this invigorating fusion of sweet bamboo, lush jasmine and wild grasses grounded with warm oak.
 
My Opinion:
 
Since we don't have Bath and Body Works here, I usually like to order candles in these mini sizes to try out.
 
Fresh Bamboo reminds me of something green, fresh and clean. The scent isn't super strong, but is very soothing and I kind of like it, definetly going to get this in a bigger size or wall flowers.

Essentials Haul

I've recently mentioned that I was nuts about the Vanilla Bean Noel scent from Bath and Body Works, so when I've noticed that this years X'mas scent was up on their webpage, I had to stock up.



Apart from the Bath and Body Works X'mas scent, everything else are just essentials that I use daily.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb



Scent: Fresh Linen
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: 2 for US$15 or 3 for US$20
 
Crisp and clean, reminiscent of linen sheets drying in the sun, with refreshing, light hints of apple, kiwi and violets.
 
My Opinion:
 
My favorite scent from Bath and Body Work's. I have this in shower gel, body mist and wall flower. They all smell slightly different, but overall a really clean scent. Fresh Linen wall flowers is one of my favorite products from Bath and Body works and I have already repurchased several times.

Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Shower Gel


Contents: 10 fl oz / 295 ml
Price: US12.50 (They're having a but 3 get 3 free, that turns out to be US$6.25@)

According to Bath and Body Work's webpage:
A merry blend of snow white vanilla, warm caramel and whipped cream, sprinkled with holiday sugar cookies and kissed with soft musk

Top Notes: Natural Vanilla, Sweet Buttery

Mid Notes: Caramel, Benzoin, Hint of Chocolate

Dry Notes: Soft Musk, Sugar Cookie

My Opinion:

This is a seasonal scent that you can only get at B&B during X'mas, and I got mine from my cousin last year (Wendy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!!!!).
 
This shower gel smells exactly like creme caramel, and it  always lifts my mood after using it, so I've been really saving it for those depressive days. I've never repurchase a shower gel (same scent) from B&B, but when I saw this on their webpage last week, I've stock up immediately. I have no idea how to express how much I love this scent, but apart from the shower gel I got the body lotion, body cream and wall flowers as well, so I guess this is a serious obsession.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb


Scent: Bahama Fizz
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: US$6.5 (you can always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)

According to Bath and Body Work's webpage:

A refreshing concotion of island pineapple, banana and fresh kiwi, infused with spiced rum and coconut.
 
My Opinion:
 
This wallflower is no longer available at the bath and body work's webpage, and after some googling found that it was a limited edition.
 
For the first day, I've plugged this in the bathroom on my bedroom and the scent was so strong that I was unable to sleep and had to take it off. The next day I've plugged it into the living room bathroom and the scent was still very strong and I could actually smell it everywhere in the house.
 
I had this for a little over a week and the scent is finally weakening, so if you like something really sweet and strong you are definetly going to like this, but I found this overwhelming.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb



Scent: Eucalyptus Spearmint
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: US$6.5 (you can always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)

According to Bath and Body Work's webpage:

Soothing eucalyptus essential oil blended with basil
 
This is a really soothing herbally scent, but since I only have wallflowers in the bathroom, it didn't work, not an ideal scent for the bathroom, but I think I might get this in the wax tart form and burn it after a stressfull day.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb



Scent: Drenched Apple Flower
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: US$6.5 (you can always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)

I couldn't locate this product in the Bath and Body Work's webpage, I guess it has been discontinued, but I didn't really like it, so it was ok with me.
 
Anyway, this fragrance bulb started with a really strong green apple scent (nothing sweet),but after about a week I couldn't smell it anymore, I need to be really close to the wallflower to be able to detect any scent.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb





Scent: Verbena Waters
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: US$6.5 (you can always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)

According to Bath and Body Work's webpage, this scent has already been discontinued, but after some googling, some bloggers were saying that the new scent Lakeside is actually the same scent, but don't quote me.
 
I was using ambi pur in my bathroom, but I've noticed that they run out every 3 weeks and is turning out to be really expensive, so I've switched to Bath and Body Works, and each bulb does last for 8 weeks, the only problem that I had was to find a converter in order to use it in HK.
 
I've got no idea how to describe this scent, is kind of summery and tropical with a slight hint of sweetness. I did like the scent so I might get Lakeside to try it out.

Bath and Body Works Cool Citrus and Basil Body Splash


Contents: 8 fl oz / 236ml

According to the package:

If you've ever picked dew-covered herbs right out of the garden you already know the invigorating scent of basil kissed by a hing of sun and citrus.

Daily Beauty Ritual:
Spritz all over for a splash of fresh fragrance.
 
Naturally papering ingredient:
Conditioning Aloe Vera
 
Ingredients: Alcohol denat., water (aqua, eau), fragrance (parfum), Citrus nobilis (mandarin orange) fruit extract, ocimum basilicum (basil) extract, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, propylene glycol, ethylhexyl salicylate, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, alpha isomethyl ionone, benzyl benzoate, butylphenyl methylpropional, citral, citronellol, coumarin, limonene, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, hydroxy isohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, linalool, yellow 5 (CI 19140), Blue1(CI 42090)
 
My Opinion:
 
I couldn't find this product at the Bath and Body Work's webpage, so I guess it has been discontinued, but since I'm not in love with this scent and B&B has got so many different scents, I don't really mind.
 
Back to the scent, this smells clean and fresh, but as I'd mentioned before, I'm not in love with it, I'll finish my bottle, but even if they still carry this product I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

My Opinion:

I've really liked the Mango Mandarin fragrance mist, but since the scent didn't really last, I though I could layer it with a shower gel to make it last longer.

Unfortunately, the shower gel dídn't smell exactly like the body mist, it has a hint of bitterness that I didn't really like.
