Butterfly

This is raspberry on steroids! Wow! I am quite mad at myself for sleeping on this fragrance for sooo long just because i read reviews about it being a juvenile or a boring fragrance. I do get it where the juvenile, generic or boring complaints are coming from but it's completely false to my personal opinion. This is soooo good i am going absolutely going nuts over it 😍 this is a supremely sweet syrupy raspberry centric fragrance. It's a paradise for people who loves raspberry in their fragrances. Usually syrupy raspberry note comes off as medicinal ( cough syrup like) , juvenile or super synthetic. But not with this one, it is a true syrupy raspberry that has been glazed with honey. There is a powdery iris & airy vanilla sweetness. It gives me the image that i am walking around this lush garden on a sunny day, where colorful flowers are in the bloom, a gentle breeze is flowing, bees and birds are pollinating the flowers and the air smells super sweet due to the pollination. Everything is so cheerful, happy and bright. This is a happy fragrance! This is a pretty country girl fragrance! This is a spring appropriate fragrance! The sillage is pretty crazy too, two big pumps and your entire room smells like raspberries. The staying power is beast mode on my skin. I only have to spray a tiny amount and it will last me through the whole day. With the matching body lotion it will perform wonderfully. I kind of wanna invest my money on the actual perfume now, if it's this good in the mist, the perfume will have me in a chokehold 😅 This is absolutely compliment worthy on it's own or you can layer it up with any vanilla or berry centric fragrance and you are good to go.

Bath and Body Works “Butterfly” is a lighter and more powdery and less vegetal version of their “Sweet Pea.” It has the same “base” of Bath and Body Works fruity florals. I smell it and know it is from Bath and Body Works. Sweet Pea I feel has more Raspberry. Butterfly is tart and fresh. It is inoffensive and reminds me of clean and fruity 90s scents. Sweet Pea was something I have worn off and on since I was a teenager and I was born in 1983. It is fresh, fun, and casual. I am the type of person that when I get dressed up, I do not wear heavy perfumes. I still just enjoy a good body wash or bar soap to match a lotion and perhaps a light spritz of a body spray I enjoy and I get compliments. I feel Butterfly is something you could wear to to a spring or summer wedding but also rock with jeans T shirts. Do t count on it being a signature scent though as it is the type of thing BBW will most likely discontinue. I own the body wash, cream, lotion, fine fragrance mist, and a mini perfume so for the next 2 years, I will probably use it a lot and then it will disappear from my life forever.

Butterfly is absolutely a close cousin of both Sweet Pea, Carried Away...and also Beautiful Day. It has the same light and upbeat quality, but this is more balanced and a little more...dare I say it, grown up. The raspberry is tangy, and I smell a heart of some sort of white floral rather than the alleged "iris". It's nice, and smells decidedly clean, but I find it slightly more compelling for some reason than many of B&BW's fruity and clean releases. It's nice, and slightly shampoo-y, but actually manages to smell memorable. It lists vanilla in the notes, but it's only slightly so, and I'm glad for it. I'm tired of vanilla honestly. It makes a safe fragrance for the gym, hot days, office work, or sensitive environments, and I think it would be difficult to locate someone who dislikes this. I had a frag friend recommend this to me, and I'm so thankful she did! I didn't expect to be impressed, but I am. It's refreshing, and makes me feel happy and pretty 🦋🌞 (Cross posted to both entries.)

I'd describe this as a timeless/classic fragrance. This is what you'd wear when you want to feel beautiful and feminine. I feel the same when I wear it as well. It just gives me that confidence exuding beauty. The raspberry gives it a fresh and tart dimension, the iris (which my body usually hates) balances it with a powdery touch, and the vanilla lends it soft and sugary sweetness to round it all up. The combination is just simple yet glorious. It also performs really well for a body spray. I can still get whiffs of it on my clothes beyond the 6-hour mark. Impressive. The packaging is really pretty. It projects over arms' length. This is the perfect day scent when you wanna feel like the prettiest girl in town.

I purchased the BBW Butterfly fragrance mist out of curiosity and also because I'm a fan of Mariah (because of the butterfly thing etc.). It says it has notes of raspberry nectar, iris petals, and airy vanilla. I don't smell the vanilla on this one. I'm not familiar with the smell of raspberry nectar and iris petals, so it's hard for me to describe it. But, this is definitely a fresh and light fragrance mist with hints of florals, which I think is kind of its downside because it's so light that after spraying it, after 15 minutes, it's gone and you can't barely smell it. This actually kind of reminds me of Beautiful Day and French Levender & Honey, also from BBW. I think if BD & FL&H will have a baby, this is it. I love the bottle thou, it's very pretty.
