Agave Papaya Sunset

This is one of my top favourite B&BW fragrance mists of all time, I'm so sad they don't make it anymore as I'm down to only 1 bottle and it's quite low. I'm going to have to have to savour it and use it sparingly. HOWEVER, I got my hands on the "I Don't Need a Prince by my Side to be a Princess" perfume by Kilian, and I couldn't believe how much it reminded me of this. The notes aren't similar at all, the Kilian one is mainly supposed to be marshmallow and green tea, but I swear to my nose they smell nearly identical. So happy that I could find a replacement. Albeit a much more expensive one, but also more long-lasting! The scent itself is hard to describe, but to me, it's very fruity with a tropical vibe but done in a unique way (AKA not super coconutty or pineappley). It is VERY sweet (the Kilian one even more so), so if you do not like sweet scents, you will HATE this.

My very first BBW mist! I got it for Christmas the year it was launched and believe it or not, I didn't even know the brand. I had seen the stores but never really taken notice. Agave Papaya Sunset was my portal to the universe of BBW. I live in hope that they will bring it back some day. It is so beautiful, summery, delicious, like a fancy fruity drink in a cool glass and you get to sip while sitting by the pool. Honestly, I have never found another fragrance quite like it. It is a little sweet, a little tart, slightly fresh, perfectly balanced, in my opinion. It is a true tropical scent, but not your typical tropical scent, this one's unique. It lasts forever on me. Once I put it on, it will stay all day.

This is one of the best tropical fragrances. It's complex, unique and very sexy. This is from a BBW era when their scents actually had punch, sillage and longevity. My favorite from them. Imagine a delicious tropical rum punch with caramel instead of rum. The musk elevates it and adds sex appeal.

I really enjoy this fragrance, and find it ideal for summer. It's an interesting mix of a light, fresh exotic fruity floral with a super-sweet gourmand. Papaya is not that common in the fruity floral or gourmand genres, and I feel it mixes well with the dessert-like dry down.

First spray smells okay, light and refreshing. Then after awhile there is this quite yuchy almost saliva smelling scent on my arms where I sprayed it. It made my stomach turn. I was almost about to dismiss this as another epic blind buy fail and toss it away...but then the dry down happened and it smells different, smells so nice. It turns into this light, sweet, powdery caramel scent that smells great. So yeah, this is staying in my collection. I just have to get through that ugh stage and thankfully it's only a short time before it transforms to the nice drydown.
