Beach Nights

I did previously review this, but thought I would post an updated review of it since I happen to be wearing it today. Truly one of the very BEST marshmallow fragrances ever, along with Yum Boujee Marshmallow!😍 Sweet, fluffy, powdery, salty, marine, fresh, woody, feminine, sensual, flirty, playful, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, uplifting, cheerful, yummy, addicting, inviting, cozy, comforting, nostalgic This is such a charming and delightful fragrance! It’s a sugary sweet and fluffy vanilla marshmallow with just a touch of chocolate, but it also has a lovely and unique twist with a fresh, salty ocean breeze and marine scent, as well as a soft woody scent of driftwood. These notes combine to create the impression of roasting marshmallows at a bonfire on the beach. This is very well done, especially for a BBW mist. It’s super fun and yummy, but also very wearable. I’ve had this for quite a few years, I think I got it during the summer of 2016. I have the bottle with the blue and yellow stripes, although I don’t see it here anywhere, I think it must be the OG version. This is one of the best fragrances that BBW has done! I honestly can’t imagine anyone actually truly disliking this fragrance. It’s just super pretty, yummy, and easy to wear, and surprisingly versatile. This is actually a kind of unique fragrance. It’s not just a sugary sweet marshmallow scent, but more. The balance of the sweetness of the marshmallows and vanilla with the salty marine scent and woody driftwood is done really well. It smells delicious enough to eat, but you’re still getting that bonfire and marine scent too. I definitely highly recommend trying it if you’re a fan of marshmallow fragrances. It would be hard not to enjoy it. I get the similarity to JHAG Vanilla Vibes because of the salty and marine scent swirled with powdery vanilla. However, Beach Nights also has the addition of sweet and fluffy marshmallow, diriftwood, and a touch of chocolate. I’m a huge fan of both marshmallow and vanilla fragrances! So, for reference, some of my other favorites include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, GdT Celeste, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, D&G The One Desire, The Only One Intense, Pour Femme Intense, JPG Classique Pin Up, Pink Sugar, Skylar Boardwalk Delight, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Commodity Milk, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, VS Vanilla Lace (OG), BBW Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Cotton Candy Clouds, Fireside Flurries, Bonfire Bash, Whipped Honey & Vanilla I actually get great performance with Beach Nights (possibly because I of the older formula), and it’s even better if I pair the lotion with it. The longevity is very good, it lasts 7-8 hours on me. The projection is nice, it radiates out probably around 2 feet from me.

Sweet, fun, flirty, yummy, warm, happy, nostalgic, powdery, dreamy, slightly salty and marine, and a subtle woody scent. This is such a great fragrance! It definitely makes me think of roasting marshmallows over a bonfire on the beach! I get lots of sugary sweet, powdery marshmallows, and warm, rich vanilla. There’s a hint of salt, the kind that brings to mind a warm ocean breeze and adds a touch of a marine scent. I also get a bit of a woody scent from the driftwood which makes me think of a bonfire. Together, the salt and driftwood bring to mind that beach bonfire feel, but it’s more in the background... the sweet marshmallows and vanilla are the most prominent and what the fragrance is centered around. I see that chocolate is listed in the notes, but I don’t pick up on it. It smells super good though and I love it! This is actually a kind of unique fragrance. It’s not just a sugary sweet marshmallow scent, but more. The balance of the sweetness of the marshmallows and vanilla with the salty marine scent and woody driftwood is done really well. It smells delicious enough to eat, but you’re still getting that bonfire and marine scent too. I definitely recommend trying it if you’re a fan of marshmallow fragrances. It would be hard not to enjoy it. I get good performance with Bonfire Beach, especially when using the lotion and mist together. The longevity is nice, about 6-7 hours on me. The projection is decent too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. For some reference, some of my other favorite sweet, vanilla, and gourmand fragrances include: Gold Sugar, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Pink Sugar, Phlur Vanilla Skin, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ Coco Cabana 39, SDJ 62, B&BW Cozy Vanilla Bourbon, B&BW Vanilla Romance, and B&BW Everlasting Magic, and B&BW Cashmere Glow This is a fragrance that B&BW definitely needs to bring back!

I have grown to really like this scent in such short time! I purchased this at semi annual sale and immediately loved the opening. It reminded me of something from my childhood that I can't quite put my finger on. I only have the mist in this scent and I am fine with just that, since everything else in this set smelled a little weird to me. I love layering this with my hot cocoa and cream body cream. I find that it brings out the cocoa scents strongly and makes the scent last a lot longer than usual. It also takes away from the weird, salty dry down. Like I said, my favorite part about this is the opening. I don't know what it smells like, but it smells good. Longevity is okay, not terrible. Like I said, layering this with a strong lotion makes it last a lot longer. Overall, I really like this. I feel as if I can wear this in hot weather and not feel "weighed down" (or maybe I am just a gourmand lover since I am wearing this in the Cali heat wave). I got this in June and I'm halfway done with the only bottle I have, with my huge mist collection, that says a lot. I really hope they bring this back in the Semi Annual and Body Care Day sales. I need to stock up.

After all this years this is still my favorite B&BW scent ever made. It's so different, so sweet but a bit salty at the same time. Marshmallows, vanilla, chocolate, salt, it has to be the most unique Vanilla I've ever had and not something you would smell on every corner by ever brand out there. I can totally see some people not liking this because it's not a simple sweet marshmallow vanilla, but since it's a similar scent to Bonfire Bash (imo), the people who dislike this should give Bonfire Bash a try. That one is a lot safer blind-purchase. Anyway, sadly this mist is not strong at all. I love to layer it with my old blue bottle lotion of Beach Nights, because btw the 2022 lotion is entirely different and smells nothing like the OG at all. I wish B&BW would make a stronger version next time, or even offer a perfume version which I would wear like every day. Scent 10000/10 Longevity 3/10 Projection 2/10

I just picked up a trio today at B&B Works...I think it smells soft & pretty with a hint of the beach-ocean, but in the driftwood/salty air kind of way...it is not a “coconut or suntan lotion” vibes scent at all. Honestly...as far as the scent goes, imho, it’s just not that big of a deal. Like most BBW products & for $14 or less it will probably be gone within 3 hours or less. On my skin i don’t get chocolate or gooey sticky caramel anything. If you enjoy Mariah Cary's "M" perfume, you would probably like this. In fact, I plan on using the body cream with M to give it a longer lasting base. I smell a bit of incense, some toasted marshmallow, driftwood, salt, some vanilla & soft white florals. Nothing ground breaking, probably fun to layer with, to wear to bed to feel cozy, or just to know you smell “soft & pretty” & won’t offend anyone. (It’s very light). Cheers!
