Brown Sugar & Fig

It's been reformulated at least once or twice over the years and I was lucky enough to find a bottle of the vintage EDT in the 1.7 oz bottle, for a price I was willing to pay. It is surprisingly complex, and its creaminess is Nicely enhanced by the coconut. It has noticeable green, leafy nuances, too, in addition to the fig note itself and a vague, warm sweet note (the brown sugar or caramel―there's definitely sweetness, but the exact nature of the sweetness is hard for me to pin down. It was kind of gamble when I found my bottle on ebay. I hadn't smelled it in years, and the last time I did, was a nasty reformulated Triple Moisture Body Cream with garish red, blue, purple, and gold designs on its opaque packaging. I was hoping when my bottle arrived, that it would be the same as my first introduction to the fragrance, in the translucent tube of Triple Moisture Body Cream. It is! What a relief! This scent is highly nostalgic for me. My mom passed away last week, and when ebay notified me of the new item in my search, I got it so I could remember my mom's and my tradition of Bath and Body Works hauls dating back to my late teens, around 2005. It is just exactly as I remembered it, and it really transports me back about 15 years. I'm so glad to have this in my collection. If you can find it on ebay, it's a worthy acquisition. I paid about $30.00 including shipping for mine, and I think it's worth every cent.

I smell a delicious, milky brown sugar. Sweet, warm spicy, a little heavy, like a blanket in the cold. Probably best worn in the fall and winter, but I honestly think you could wear it in any season, any time of day. I think it would be comforting to wear at night, I just love the coconut milk note. Lactonic notes are addicting and comforting to me, probably because I’ve been a milkaholic most of my life. I don’t really smell any of the fruits besides fig, maybe the white flowers in the top and middle notes. I’m sure some of what I’m smelling is a mix of the caramel/vanilla/amber/musk, but I swear it’s mostly just a milky rich brown sugar (oatmeal?) indulgence. It’s funny, when I first smelled it, I thought it smelled like a teacher. Maybe an elementary school teacher? I wonder if any of mine in the past had worn it. I wouldn’t be surprised as it was a popular scent when I was younger. But as I’ve been training my nose, it picks up more of the notes!

I only had this scent in the triple moisture cream from the year 2013 or 2014. So I can't review the EDT but I loved this scent so much I still wanted to give my thoughts! This one is so warm, comforting. Brown sugar, fig, maple and coconut are the main notes I remember. It combines so many of my favorite notes! It was such a special scent that I've thought about it often over the years lol. I remember trying the body cream for the first time and being so surprised at how warm and comforted the scent made me feel! (I had never felt comforted by a scent before.) I'd love to try the FFM or EDT in this scent! It's a perfect fragrance for fall and winter. It's also one of those scents that would likely be appealing to many ages. (I was around 21 when I had the body cream and I can see myself wearing it now at 29 and as I get older.) This scent would work for daytime/nighttime and bedtime. Very versatile.

For lovers of Ralph Hot, I think this is as close as we're ever gonna get. However! For a body spray, staying power and sillage are as good as that of an EDT on my skin (I do lean towards the oily side, but if your skin is drier the lotions are pretty easy to get your hands on for layering). I don't know if I'd consider it a floral "fruity" gourmand, as I don't get many fruits from it except coconut and fig, but it is indeed a gourmand. There's some spice that gives it depth and sexiness. Much like Ralph Hot it settles close to the skin. If you're unfamiliar with Ralph Hot, the best way I could sum this up is slightly spicy, warm and creamy. It's got an almost edible quality, but not sugar-sweet, nor tart or citrusy. Even the coconut is mild and milky. It's a standalone scent in my opinion and beats any other mainstream, popular scent by a long shot. Very well balanced, even somewhat exotic.

This is one of my favorite scents, and I really wish it was still available in the EDT. The fine fragrance mist is still available online, so that will have to suffice. This is really an intoxicating, dreamy, sexy scent. It's very grown up, especially for Bath and Body Works, but without being harsh or very floral. A unique kind of gourmand that isn't cloying or leaving you straight-up smelling like a cookie. I pick up the passion fruit right away, along with sweet fig, caramel, and vanilla. There is an ever-present coconut and dry green note in the background that gives this a very nice, fresh, earthy quality. I don't detect much floral, but I can tell it's there, balancing the foody scents. This is crisp, yet warm, and fresh, yet deep and rich. Beautiful scent that I think a lot of people could enjoy. I like wearing this in the fall and winter, but think it would work in any season.

The first time I bought it along with a bunch of other mists from SAS my nose gravitated more towards the freshies. So it was forgotten in my cabinet along with my numerous haul. 3 days ago I was getting bored of fresh floral scents. I decided to revisit my stash. I saw this and sprayed just to remember how it smells like. Lo and behold i'm in love. This was truly the perfect time for me to appreciate its beauty. I cannot stop sniffing my arms. It has this sweet but cozy effect on me. It is the warm kind of sweet that is not cloying. It smells creamy even a bit milky. I don't know how fig smells like but that must add a delicious vibe to this. This is a perfect blend of yumminess. I think even non gourmand lovers will appreciate this. I am so happy I rediscovered this beauty again.

I am in love with this one and it surprised me. I didn't think I would love this as much as I do. It’s a floral fruity warm scent. I think the reason I adore this so much is because the fig in this is so strong. It’s just so warm and I love warm scents. Top notes are passionfruit, fig, white florals, peaches, and bergamot. The fig is so prominent in here and lingers all day. The middle of this is vanilla orchids, jasmine, freesia, lily-of-the-valley, and coconut. I smell all of these beautiful scents and the orchid really stays with me. Base notes are vanilla, amber, musk, caramel, fig leaf, and maple. After it sits on my skin for a few hours it becomes this gorgeous maple/fig/caramel/vanilla concoction with musk in the background and fig as the main scent. It’s just so nice.

I received the lotion and body wash several years ago as a gift. I Was a little off put at first and I remember thinking that I would never use it. Finally I started with the lotion and I was stunned by the richness of the scent and how long that the scent lasted. I fell in love with Brown Sugar and Fig soon after. I used it sparingly and after a trip to Bath and Body I bought two bottles each of the lotion and body wash. They didn't have any of the body mist at that time. Again I used it sparingly until I was frantic that the scent would be discontinued and bought two of everything. This is a piece of heaven. This is rich, sweet and the fig is luxurious. Well worth trying.

This is the best coconut scent I've ever had because the coconut smells milky and sugary, not overly loud and screechy. For example La Vie est Belle Cristal Soleil and Body Fantasies Coconut are what I would consider screechy coconut. Overly synthetic and borderline sour coconut. Brown Sugar and Fig has more emphasis on the brown sugar and less on the coconut, which makes it absolutely perfect because it smells soft and milky. It lasts a long time for me as well and has good sillage. It makes me feel like I smell both fresh and tropical, mixed with gourmand and sweet. I love it so much.

Brown Sugar and Fig is such a lovely fragrance, and i'm glad Bath and Body works brought it back. The beautiful blend of brown sugar, vanilla, coconut, and fig really make it super delectable and fun to wear. It starts out pretty green, which I think the fig leaf and maple attributes to. This scent never gets to be super thick and syrupy, more like a roasty toasty sugar/fig/coconut vibe. This fragrance is sweet, but is not cloyingly so. I highly recommend this fragrance to the person who loves to smell cuddely, sweet, and alluring.

As someone who isn't into gourmands, this is an exception. I prefer this scent in the shower gel though. When I use this soap in the shower, the scent fills up the bathroom and lingers for about half an hour after I'm done. It is such an addicting scent. It is very sweet and heavy but not cloying at all. It is a very comforting scent, especially on cold nights. I am very lucky to have a Bath and Body Works Outlet that has retired scents in stock near me. This shower gel is definitely a winter staple for me!

This is a favorite; it's such a beautiful fragrance. I alternate between this and Sensual Amber in the fall and winter months, and I tend to pick this when I want something a bit cleaner and lighter along with being sexy and warm. It's exotic and unique, but still fresh and could definitely be worn in the spring and summer if you wanted, though as I said, I prefer this in the fall and winter. I get a lot of earthy fig and coconut, along with a very soft vanilla and bright caramel. Just so pretty!

Brown Sugar and Fig is a gorgeous scent with a great combination of brown sugar, vanilla, coconut, and fig that makes it incredibly tasty and pleasant to wear. It starts off fairly green, which I credit to the fig leaf and maple. This aroma is pleasant yet not overpowering. I definitely suggest this scent to anyone who like smelling soft, sweet, and appealing. This is rich, sweet and the fig is luxurious. Definitely worth a shot. Stunning!

This fragrance is a beautiful scent. I get everything except the passionfruit and jasmine. The fig, vanilla orchid & coconut do it for me I wouldn't say that its warm but it's incredibly cozy...it feels like home...like how I was born to smell. And for those reasons, I feel a little better when I wear it. If I had to corner it into a season, I'd say fall. But I wear it when I'm good & ready. I don't do rules.

Bath & Body Works now has several of their "classic fragrances" on sale online (and at some stores). If you love this one as much as I do... time to stock up! It's more wearable in the cooler months because of it's heavy maple and vanilla base, but if you use it sparingly in hot weather it DOES attract a lot of male reaction! I always get complimented by men when I wear this warm fragrance! :)

this scent is amazing. i got the body lotion years ago at christmas from my boyfriend's stepmom and it was love at first sniff! thank goodness they still have the mist online! i have so many perfumes that i rarely buy backups of, but i absolutely had to of this one. it smells even more amazing that it sounds. so worth a blind buy if the name intrigues you. ;)

my perfect baby. i don’t have words for how good it is, especially if i’m particularly craving it. it’s a super creamy, slightly sweet fig that’s still green. the coconut & caramel/brown sugar complement the fig note PERFECTLY. i know they recently brought it back for SAS, but we need a permanent EDP!! ✨

wow.. so yummy!! it's sweet creamy & warm. it's my first fig scent (have no idea how fig smell heheee) i could smell the vanilla, caramel, coconut and amber i only got the body splash and already received compliments how nice it smells

I love love love this fragrance! This has to be my absolute favorite from bath and body works! I typically don't like sweet scents, but the I love brown sugar and fig. I wear this scent throughout the year but more in the fall.

Brown Sugared Fig, Vanilla and Mapple ... Hummmm... Yummy!!! Perfect scent for cold days but it is also comfortable in sunny and a little hot days... Good staying power: 7 - 8 Hours. My favorite Bath and Body Works Scent!!!!
