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.

Scentmojis: 🥂🌷🎠👗 A Thousand Wishes is champagne personified--effervescent, happy, elegant. I resisted this fragrance for a long time--when I first smelled it, I found it boring and without distinction, and I was annoyed that Bath and Body Works seemed to be promoting it so hard. Now I've changed my mind. This is so lovely. I think what annoyed me about it originally--its lack of a strong, identifiable note leading the composition--is now what I like about it. It isn't dominated by any one thing. It's lightly floral, lightly creamy, lightly bubbly? A bit hard to describe. There's something very high-class about it. Picture an idealized, clean, pastel version of Paris in springtime. That's this fragrance.

Honestly IDC that this "smells like middle school" yadayada. It's such a nice, sweet peony champagne scent. It smells girly, fun and bright! perfect if you don't know what to wear or just for an inoffensive daytime scent to go run errands. I always get compliments when I wear this! I like pairing this with sweet tooth by Sabrina carpenter, Kayali Vanilla candy rock sugar, or Cote de azure by Oribe!

This is a no brainer scent. Liked by many, also a compliment getter. You get sparkly fruitiness when sprayed, then it turns into an ambery floral scent. When it completely settles, you get that amaretto cream in the background of amber. Easy reach for me. People like this a lot. Not long lasting on me. But this scent makes me feel pretty! You all should give it a tryyy

I FORGOT HOW GOOD THIS SCENT WASSSSS. it took me right back to elementary/middle school!! i would say it’s more floral and fruity than it is alcohol, but i think that it’s better that way lol. to be honest, it kind of reminds me of my mom, which is weird because she’s never worn this, but i suppose that this perfume is good for all ages!

this scent does have a special place in my heart as it was my first b&bw scent, also it may be quite common especially for it to be a signature scent (no shade) but it just smells so girly 🎀 only thing i wish the longevity wasn’t so weak as i always have to re-spray like 10 mins after D;

I don’t care what anyone says about ATW I absolutely still love her sm, she’s effortlessly girly and smells damn good. I love the peony in this, and bubbly Prosecco. I will ALWAYS repurchase her, I love mixing ATW with Gingham gorgeous bc of the peony. Best combo hands down.

one of my favorite scents from bath and body works so far, it was my first spray from them and it smells SO good. It's so clean, fresh, and sweet and makes you smell like your fresh out of the shower. it's super girly and perfumey and its just an overall amazing smell.

this is one of the few bbw i'd repurchase. it goes with anything and lasts a decent while on my skin :) it's a pretty safe purchase if you vibe with the accords. ofc it's nothing crazy or niche but you know you'll smell good.

Sweet and sparkly, for sure. I like the pink champagne smell, and there's a distinct sort of perfume smell about it that I like. For some reason, I also think it's a sort of sexy smell, in the right contexts.

I have this as a foam soap. I get fresh first but that might be the soap medium. After that I get wine, then red berries, then amber, and finally floral. I don't detect the amaretto at all.

it smells so mature and sexy i love it. a beautiful floral with a little fruitiness. perfect for spring! it also lasts all day on my clothes, a good while on my skin when moisturized.

I like it! I can only describe it as sparkling! lol my husband got me this probably two years ago now. But it's sparkling, "darker" fruity to me, and not too sweet. Not offensive.

The perfume smells really fresh and sweet but it isnt the strongest. However, you can smell it when your close to someone who has it. It isn't overpowering but I really love it.

this smells so YUMMY it reminds me of a perfumed little girl garden party, kind of jammy, cupcake-ish. jammy frosting maybe, warm beautiful day, surrounded by flowers.

One of my favorite BBW perfumes ever. Out of the multiple from BBW I’ve had, I never got bored of this one. A thousand wishes you have my whole middle school heart
