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!

This is literally the first B&BW fragrance that took me back to the nights when my family and I went camping - us kids would be running in the sand having so much fun chasing each other, while in background the music is playing and the adults can be heard laughing & singing. When the waves crash on shore, you smell the salt water in the air, mixed with the slightly burnt marshmallows scent that’s roasting on the campfire. That’s what this scent does to me - take me back to the good old days. I will forever - well, for as long as possible - have this in my collection. For a bold scent, I like to layer this with By The Fireplace, Coffee Break or The Only One. For a softer scent - JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Love Don’t Be Shy or Signature.

ahhh, what can I say. this is my favorite bath and body works scent EVER. IT'S SO DELICIOUS. It smells like an ethereal marshmallow fairy. it is so fluffy, pillowy, and dreamy lol. It's honestly mesmerizing. I wish I could find a perfume equivalent of this. I am almost done w/ my OG mist and it is still potent and delicious. I have 2 back ups of this scent and I really hope it returns again in the future bc I need it in my life forevsss :) also this is a huge compliment magnet. I put this on around my best friend and she was like "OMG whatever you just put on smells so good". She kept reaching for it the rest of the time at my place. She mentioned that is smelled very sweet and clean in the air

I just wanted to mention that if you love Beach Nights, or missed out on it, and want something similar, then I highly recommend checking out Coastal Dreaming! I have the EDP of CD as well as the mist and lotion of BN, and they’re actually pretty similar! I compared them side by side (one on each wrist), and The biggest difference is that CD lacks the chocolate and marshmallow notes, and the vanilla is just subtly softer. They both give a very similar vibe, and they’re both gorgeous fragrances! Plus, Coastal Dreaming comes in an EDP as well as the rest of the body care products, so if you’ve been wanting a stronger version of Beach Nights you may be happily surprised with Coastal Dreaming!

After many many many years of using Beach Nights, 10 years to be exact, there's finally an EDP version (dupe) of it. An actual good one. Not a cheap smelling dupe, not a bad dupe, not one that smells literally like oil (like the Dirty Soul Soap dupe which was awful). The DUA Brand finally made justice to all Beach Nights fans after B&BW keeps skipping it every single year. The name of the perfume is Moonlit Beach and it's RIDICULOUSLY good! It's 100% spot on, like literally 100%. What a time to be alive! I can't believe I'm finally wearing a strong version of Beach Nights

This wears exactly how I hoped it would on my skin. Sniffing straight from the nozzle I only got some aquatic freshness and salt, but once it warmed up on my skin I get salt with gooey, melted marshmallow. No smokiness though. Its so bloody pleasant and I can definitely see where the hype is coming from. I can also see how other people's skin will bring out different notes, making it not smell the same to everyone. There's something so warm, happy and cozy about this while also having some extra dimension like how a perfume would have. Its SO good.

i just got this off Depop and i'm in love omg 🫧 in the beginning when I first spray this it smells like a beach night. literally. there's driftwood and salt, the beach breeze blowing in your face, with toasted marshmallows roasting in the fireplace. 🫧 as it settles down, I smell that smores accord. it smells more like marshmallows and graham crackers. 🫧 it just smells so good and I hope Bath and Body Works brings it back because i wanna match it with the body lotion or cream. if you like marshmallow, you need to get this! 🫶🏾

This combination is one of the most unique B&BW has ever produced. The toasted marshmallow smells so fluffy and creamy. I also get the saltiness the others mentioned here, along with the chocolate and a tinge of woodiness. Overall, it's such a cosy scent that I can use anytime. It lasts quite okay on me, but I still would love to have this last longer because the fragrance itself is so good and one of a kind. I'd give this a 9 only because the scent doesn't linger that much on me.

I'm a gourmand lover and really enjoy this scent. It's a nice soft chocolate-y Marshmallow with a hint of driftwood and sea salt that makes it leas gourmand-y and more perfect for a summer night!! I don't know why but I always get a melon note, similar to Summer Melody, and I have no idea why, but it works for me. Like any BBW product, the longevity is not amazing, but when I overspray on clothes, it does last. It's also very unique. I definitely would buy it again.

I've been wearing this spray for a long time, and it will never not have a place in my collection. This is one of the most perfect gourmands you could ever imagine. I am obsessed with it, and I have never gotten as many compliments on any fragrance I've ever worn as I have on this. I don't care how expensive it gets, I will always buy this. This is a true compliment getter and absolutely delicious. You will literally smell edible. I will never be without it!

Recently I have been on a Bath and Body Works spree and ordered Butterfly, Summer Melody and this perfume. This one is so dreamy. To me it smells like sweet powdery vanilla marshmallows upon first spray, and then I get the sea salt and driftwood in the dry down. Smells like a summer evening. Also kind of reminds me of Cheriosa 71, if you have that you will enjoy this.

This smells like I’m at the beach at night while wearing vanilla lotion and eating s’mores. Reminds me of summer nights at secluded beach spots on Long Island, either Huntington Bay Or Babylon area. If you know you know. Maybe a little of the incense I use to burn to keep the mosquitoes away, Egyptian a goddess, musky. I layer this with my beloved Sun Di Gioia.

I do not own the 2022 Version, but the one from 2016. To my surprise it is still amazing and smells sooo good. It just smells like toasted Marshmallow with a hint of water from the sea. It`s super long lasting despite it`s so old. This is to me one of the most perfect Marshmallow scents.

Salty marshmallow driftwood. It is the feeling of toasting marshmallows at a beach campfire without the smoke. It’s not overly sweet, it’s light, airy and lovely for everyday summer. If you don’t like gourmand notes you might still enjoy this scent because of the airy driftwood & salt.

This is probably one of my favorite scents from Bath & Body Works. It's a light, airy, salty take on toasted marshmallows. It's a scent that can be worn during the day, or to bed. This is more of a cozy fall and winter fragrance, and less of a summer fragrance as the name suggests.

Out of all the ice cream flavors, I find Cookies & Cream to be the most overrated... but this is exactly what Beach Nights smells like on me and it's comforting AF. Been wearing it to bed to feel extra cozy. Didn't think I'd join the hype and now I hope to stock up. 🌛🔳🔲🔳🔲🔳🔲🔳 🌜
