At the Beach

Beachy, sweet, creamy, tropical, fresh, sunny, bright, refreshing, marine, aquatic, salty, citrusy, floral, warm, musky, feminine, sensual, flirty, transportive, nostalgic, and even somewhat cozy I did previously review this, but wanted to share an updated review in hopes that I can better describe it. On me this is a beachy, sweet, fresh, and marine/aquatic scent with tropical, sweet, creamy, and warm toasted coconut, sweet, floral, and slightly buttery frangipani, fresh, bright, and citrusy bergamot, refreshing, marine/aquatic, and salty ocean breeze, and soft sunkissed musk. I also think I’m getting a little vanilla too even though I don’t see it listed in the notes. There’s just a whisper of a Sun tan lotion like scent (I always love that!), but it’s very subtle, so don’t be afraid of that. Overall, it’s such a beautiful, beachy, sandy, and fresh ocean breeze scent. I have this in the mist, lotion, body scrub, body wash, sea salt hair mist, hand lotion, and hand soap. I’ve been using this for many years, ever since it first came out. I love it on its own, as well as layering the body care products with some of my other favorite beachy/coconut fragrances. It pairs so well with most of my favorites. This does remind me a lot of one of the newer Rosie Jane fragrances, Missy. Missy has more tropical fruity notes, but whenever it dries down it has a very similar resemblance to At The Beach. I would consider it to be almost a dupe in the dry down. This feels feminine to me, and like it’s fitting for women of any age. I think this is best suited for the warmer weather of late spring and summer. I think this is best suited for more casual occasions, as well as for work, or school. It’s a very pleasant scent that seems to be pretty crowd pleasing, so I do consider this a safe blind buy. I’m so glad that B&BW hasn’t discontinued this one, and that they keep it available throughout the entire year. I get really good performance with At The Beach (especially if I use the body care products with the mist). The longevity is decent, it lasts about 5-7 hours before I feel that it might need a touch up. The projection is nice, it radiates out about an arm’s length. For reference, some of my other favorite beachy scents from B&BW include Coco Paradise, Oahu Coconut Sunset, Honolulu Sun, Bali Black Coconut Sands, Forever Beach Days, Beach Nights, Golden Ocean Pearl, Copper Coconut Sands. For further reference, some of my favorite beachy/coconut fragrances include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, Kayali Maldives in a Bottle, SDJ Coco Cabana 39

Beachy, coconut, tropical, floral, lactonic, salty, citrusy, sweet, vanilla, marine, nutty, sunny, radiant, refreshing, feminine, sensual, seductive, flirty, alluring, inviting, comforting, transportive, tranquil, nostalgic I love how this has a toasted coconut note, and they really nailed it for the toasted vibe. It’s not overly creamy/lactonic, but really toasted and somewhat nutty. I also get the exotic frangipani, slightly aquatic and citrusy bergamot waters, and a saltiness from the saltwater breeze. I also get a really luxe Sun tan lotion scent which I really love! I’m not sure exactly why, but I also get a sand-like vibe from this. I absolutely adore At The Beach! I’ve been using this for years in the body wash, body scrub, lotion, mist, and hand cream. I really love beachy, coconut scents during the warmer weather, and this is one of my favorites! I really love pairing the body care with my favorite perfumes.

This is the kind of scent you either get or you don’t, based on the reviews here. It’s exactly what it’s being sold as: a beachy scent. It’s salty, coconutty, tropical-floral suntan lotion. The bergamot lends some brightness. It’s beautiful. Gauzy and translucent - this one isn’t strong; it’s a sea breeze of a scent. Perfect for summertime or whenever you find yourself craving that beachy vibe. I like that this is offered year round. It also works well with both coconut and light aquatic scents. Tonight I have it on with Bombshell Isle from VS, but I also think it would be great with Davidoff Cool Woman WAVE for her which is a salty frangipani aquatic. I have both the body cream and the body mist and layered together gives an optimized experience but it’s still a softer scent. So while some seem to dislike this, I find it wholly likeable and doubt that it would be offensive to passersby. They would probably just think you came from the beach!

while staying in the florida keys, all the bath products in the fancy hotel had this scent and i think that’s incredibly fitting. slightly sunscreen-esque, but not plasticky. coconut leans more fresh and creamy (it’s not a thick, toasted coconut vanilla, more green). the plumeria is pleasant and gives a certain lightness. salt water is present but it’s a pretty, sparkly, clean salt water. no funky ocean smell here. overall it’s very much a beachside hotel fragrance. you can tell it’s not expensive, but it doesn’t smell incredibly cheap. she’s fun in the summertime or any time i want to smell pleasant when it’s hot out. i wore her to the disney parks and it felt very right. the vibes: white button down shirt on the burning sand. mock tortoiseshell sunglasses. a windy day on mauna kea beach, complete with a sunscreen massage from a devoted partner

I adore this!! I have the body spray and Lotion and it's the best sunscreen scent I've ever smelled and it layers beautifully with lots of summer perfumes including aqva divina, Intense tiare, Versace crystal noir, Fire island, and lots more. It's extremely long lasting especially for a body spray. I get lots of coconut, not sugar sweet but sunscreen type. Salt and fragapini. It's so beachy, smells just like being smothered in sunscreen, with salt water drying on your skin with the heat of the sun warming it. I love this! It would be amazing if they would make a perfume version! :) sillage starts at an arms length and then softens to moderate to soft, lasting around 4 hours on my skin. By far my favorite scent from BBW.
