A Thousand Wishes

I bought this at the end of 2023 and still use it occasionally. I really would consider this a safe blind buy for anyone who enjoys sweet floral scents. It's definitely sweet, but not juvenile - the florals and amber/amaretto are what offset this, I think. I really consider this to be just a pretty scent. I wouldn't call it boring like some people say on here, and DEFINITELY NOT grandma vibes at all, so I don't know what crack those people are smoking to think that about this smell. I could see girls from middle school wearing this, as well as women up to 50+. I initially smelled this from my coworker back in 2013. She always had this & Forever Red from B&BW in her car and would douse herself in one of them when I went out with her on lunch breaks. She was 6 years older than me (I was 19 & she was 25) so she very much gave me cooler, older sister vibes, lol. This scent reminds me of her, and my s.o.'s brother's ex-girlfriend who I noticed wore this on Christmas in 2023, and she is a quieter, soft-spoken kind of girl. I love having this in my collection of well over 50 perfumes (I may have closer to 100 when including all my minis, travel sizes, and samples 🙈) I am more in the mood for this one during winter, but maybe that's because I bought it during that season and now it reminds me of colder weather and holidays. Prob could wear year round, but I prefer it in fall/winter for sure. Definitely smell this in B&BW or pick it up for a deal if you're interested because I truly don't see anyone regretting buying this, even if it doesn't end up being your favorite. Just a clean, sweet, PRETTY✨️ smell that is an easy reach when you have nothing else in mind or want to feel cozy. ♡ P.S. they make this scent in a diamond shimmer mist, if you love glitter! I actually only have the shimmer mist, not the regular mist or eau de parfum. The body cream also smells divine/highly recommend pairing it with the mist for extra oomph & longevity. As well as the shower gel (they have 2 types) or the body scrub (I have the scrub, which is like a cream mixed w/ scrub rather than just a salt scrub.)

Bright Crystalline Peony with an Almond-Flour Base... This is a different type of peony than what's been popular in perfumery for the last two decades or so, although it's still recognizable. Rather than a thicker, gummier rose, the thickness is represented in the base of what smells like a blend of amaretto, almond flour, cashmeran and possible some tonka, which gives the former thickness some airy-powdery-woodiness and makes it suitable for year-round wear. The amaretto reads a little like an almond extract note. There's also a fruity facet from the quince, I enjoyed this. It would be great on its own, or layered with other peony scents like Bright Crystal Versace and dupes or Incanto Shine Salvatore Ferragamo, It would also be nice layered with rose, white florals, fruits, almond or tonka, but I'd likely layer it with peony, rose, magnolia, amaretto & other white florals. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

this is honestly the IT Girl of BBW. There has to be a reason why it's been around for so long and why it's always one of BBW's signature scents. To me, it smells luxurious, elegant, feminine, and girly with just the right touch of maturity. It's sweet and classy. Now that I've gotten much deeper into the fragrance world, I also understand what people mean when they say it's become a little generic or even a bit "boring." It's such a popular scent that it almost feels familiar to everyone. It's the kind of fragrance that's perfect for everyday wear, running errands, or just wanting to smell pretty without thinking too much about it. But honestly... I think that's exactly why it's so successful. It's incredibly easy to love. Back when I wasn't really into fragrances and didn't know much, I completely fell in love with this scent. And even now, after trying so many more fragrances, I still do. 💖✨

Let me start by saying- I’m a SUCKER for peony scents, so I had high hopes for this one, and honestly? It didn’t disappoint. At first spray, I’ll admit I was a little unsure. It came off kind of artificial, almost too sparkly and sharp. I was like, “Wait... is this going to be too much?” But then, bam. Once it settles down and melts into your skin, it transforms into something gorgeous. Warm, floral, sweet, and just the right amount of cozy without being heavy. The peony really starts to bloom and you get this soft, almost romantic mix with the amber and champagne notes that gives it this elegant flirty vibe. It literally smells celebratory- like something you’d wear to a party or a date. So if you love peony or floral scents in general, give this one a chance to dry down. It goes from “eh” to “omg yes” real quick. Definitely a keeper in my collection!

I was given this body mist as a gift, and I am absolutely in love with this. I have been using it ever since high school up till my second year of uni. (And it is still so full, in all these years only about one-sixth of the bottle is gone!) Here's a small warning. This would be more suitable for students, as some people may find it "childish". You know that sweet pink-milk caramel candies? Or a strawberry lopsicle but lighter sweetness and with a very subtle alcoholic note? Well that's my first impression, although there's also a soft floral nuance underneath. Overall, It is pretty mass appealing and crowd-pleasing. if u wanna find sth unique or distinctive then this is not for you. While i do enjoy it,i cant help but feel that it lacks depth, too plain, very feminine yet too predictable. It does remind me of some shower gel at times.
