Almond Blossom

I absolutely love anything almond scented (it reminds me strongly of cherry blossom, which I also love), so I was very excited to try this one. I blind bought the body mist, and I'll admit that when I first got it and tried it I wasn't wowed. It smelled nice, but very light at the time. I've worn it a couple times layered with BBW Rose, which I got the same day. It smells incredible with Rose, especially if you're not a huge fan of rose perfumes. It really rounds and grounds the strong floral and gives it a little sweetness. Today I decided to wear Almond Blossom alone for the first time, and it is much stronger than I remember! I feel like I'm fully appreciating it for the first time. I would consider it a sweet floral. I don't really get much vanilla, its definitely a background player. The almond blossom and the musk are immediately identifiable. There's an extra floral note that I'm assuming is the orchid. And there is just a hint of vanilla that blends seamlessly with the sweet almond blossom. Overall a pretty and pleasant fragrance. This actually reminds me of a lighter, softer version of Pink Sugar, minus the heavy licorice note. Sweet and slightly powdery in the drydown. Definitely give this one a try!

A really beautiful, sweet, warm, delightful, cozy, and delicate almond fragrance! I just absolutely adore Almond Blossom! The fragrance itself is on the delicate and subtle side. There’s a very lovely sweet almond sent with some creamy vanilla orchid and a warm cashmere musk. It’s sweet, but not overly so, perhaps due to the cashmere musk. I find it to be gracious, elegant, delightful, and even somewhat comforting. Something that just makes me feel good whenever I wear/smell it, and it always makes me feel pretty. I own the body mist, lotion, and body wash and I don’t ever want to run out. It’s one of the best B&BW fragrances imo. I really hope they bring this one back. It’s a very easy reach, works well year round, is good for layering as well as wearing alone, and is something that can work for most occasions. Plus, it’s a pretty inoffensive fragrance. I get really good longevity with Almond Blossom, it lasts all day on me. The projection is nice too, I’d consider it between intimate to moderate. The performance is even better if I use it with the body care products too.

For those who LOVE this scent like i do, there's a fragrance company by the name of Mix:Bar that has an upcoming EDP fragrance called "Whipped Almond". It smells EXACTLY like Almond Blossom. Mix:Bar fragrances are U.S. based and are exclusively available at Target, and they're very affordable( $18.99 - $19.99 for a 1.7oz). Select Target stores are putting this fragrance out early, which is how I got mine. So you may or may not be able to find this fragrance at your local Target. But if you don't find it, don't worry. It'll be widely available in the near future. Until it's added in the Fragrantica database, you can find my review on my Instagram @fragranceenthusiast. P.S. They also have another release called "Sparkling Hibiscus", which smells like a very fruity cocktail.

This is honestly one of the prettiest, most gentle, powdery floral-y lactonic mists I have tried from BBW. Very feminine and milky! This was a blind buy because I wanted a vanilla mist that had floral notes in it but I was completely blown away by how sweet this smells. It opens with sweet almonds and a hint of orchid and dries down to a very soft sweet vanilla (and a hint of baby powder?) However, I should have known it was too good to be true because it only lasted for about an hour or so before I had to spray again. Although maybe it's just my body chemistry as floral notes don't tend to stay on me very long.

I LOVE this body spray. I tend to like bold, earthy scents and sweet pink juices tend to not be my thing. This is a fantastic palette cleanser. It’s cozy, warm, milky with a faint touch of white floral and amber. Sillage and longevity are low. I love to take a hot bath, spray liberally, and curl up in bed. This is also great for layering. It makes a screechy Oud rose more approachable, and adds a touch of sweetness to a crisp soapy floral. This is the scent to bring along if you’ve booked a cottage with a windowseat on air bnb, and all you plan to bring is a fluffy robe and suitcase full of books.
