Carried Away

This was my signature in high school and I am over the moon that they're bringing her back this SAS! I still have the very same 2013 bottle I used to mist myself with every morning and I'm so glad I don't have to restrain myself from spraying it every so often anymore. Even though it's a decade old at this point it still smells just like it did: fresh, floral, sweet and most of all, fruity. It's the kind of scent that lifts your mood as soon as you spray it. It's strong without being overpowering and while on the youthful side it isn't quite as immature as scents like Sweet Pea (blargh) or Summer Melody. It really reminds me of Magnolia Charm to the point where they are almost identical to my nose (with Carried Away being a bit brighter smelling) but apparently that opinion is not a popular one lmao. I'm really curious about how the new formula will compare with the one I currently have, I'll report back with my findings once I can get my hands on it. ETA: I picked up a newer bottle and I have to say there is no discernible difference other than the new one being stronger and smelling less like alcohol. Now that I'm comparing them side by side the older one has a bit of a nail polish remover vibe that I assume is due to age. The new one definitely does it justice!

Gorgeous scent, pear + floral notes are extremely popular at B&BW. My favorite was magnolia charm, until I smelled carried away. There’s something so addicting about this scent to me. It smells bright, uplifting, and sweet like candy. I don’t buy lotions often but this one is definitely lotion & backup worthy. I’m afraid it will sell out soon, so get your nose on this one if you can. People compare it to poppy and sweet pea, which I get the similarities. This one is my favorite probably because the added raspberry note. Sweet pea reminds me of my childhood, and poppy is a beautiful scent but feels like it’s missing something. Carried away surpasses all the scents in this fruity floral category by far in my opinion. It easily takes the spot of former favorites. 😊 I’ve heard others say this is juvenile smelling, and I don’t really agree with that. I think this is a perfect example of a fragrance any age can beautifully pull off. At the same time though, I wouldn’t consider this a mature fragrance or be my first pick as a gift option for someone else. It has a shampoo like quality about it but can see some thinking it’s too sweet. It will not pass as a perfumey or luxurious scent, more causal and bright.

This is my favorite B&BW fragrance to date. I have only ever had the body splash, but I plan to purchase the EDT eventually. I always mention bottles in my reviews and I've previously said I always really like B&BW's packaging. This bottle is really adorable and playful and the blue main color was a wise choice. (My synesthesia is showing.) The scent of Carried Away is particularly nostalgic for me because, without ever having previously owned it, this is the same scent of my room when I was a tween. It takes me back to the days of playing Final Fantasy X-2 in my blue, dolphin-adorned room. It's bubbly, fresh, clean, slightly fruity-sweet, and very playful. Words can't express how in love with this fragrance I am. This fragrance also features every single floral note I love most except waterlily, so it literally feels like it was made for me. 10/10 from me, and I realize I'm completely biased, but for good reason. This fragrance speaks to me and I recommend it to anyone who likes that airy, fresh, slightly fruity sweet, playful fragrance. xx

This is one of the first 3 Bath, and Body Works perfumes I've bought, yesterday when I was in the mall. OMG This is just perfect!!! When I smelled this I was like bingo this is it. I don't love that many perfumes, but I can say I love this one. No it's not my favorite out of all the perfumes I've, but I do really think this perfume is great. I'm seeing a few people saying this smells like BCBG Bon Chic, I can smell similarities, but it doesn't smell the excat same, because Carried Away is much stroger than Bon Chic, in my opinion, and I prefer Carried Away over Bon Chic any day. I don't really like perfumes that are too light. At least meet me in the middle. This scent will definitely carry you away. Love at first sight, or smell that is! To me there isn't a note that stnads out of the crowd. No notes take over, they all blend in together which I really love. I hate when you buy a perfume that has a combanation of notes, but you mainly smell two, or three of them the most.

Carried Away, in my opinon, is the second best fragrance from Bath and Body Works- behing Sweat Pea. It is full of fruity, sweet notes and creates a crisp, clean aroma after settling. The longevity is poor, I myself would rate it a 4/10, as it is an EDT. This is a perfect scent for working. If you are like me, you hate losing your perfume's scent at the restaurant you work for. With Carried Away, I feel no guilt spraying myself twice or three times within an hour. After those manny layers, it does not fumigate or become too stout. A must have for those with a limited budget, hate smelling like where you work, and enjoy an excuse to smell "girly." An added plus: The EDT bottle is adorable and travels well.

this scent reminds me a lot of butterfly by bath and bodyworks. just a little more berry, and less of the powdery notes. the raspberry is the first note i get, the second would probably be the pear. and there is definitely something that smells a little bit citrusy. (i have the mist, not the perfume, so the notes are a bit different, but i can smell some kind of orangey note.) and then the vanilla is very faint. i can't really smell it. very fresh, juicy, fruity, floral perfume. very young though. best suited for teen girls. it also smells a bit like a flowery shampoo :D

Yes! This was a winner for me. Carried Away smells very juicy and fruity almost like fruit punch. I feel so fresh and clean when i take a shower with the body wash then slather on the lotion ...then spray the body mist....it smells soo good...once i couldnt sleep and i took a shower using carried away collection and i slept like a baby. it smells a lot like Love and Sunshine by bath and body works and i love Love and Sunshine....its a cheerful optimisitc scent.

Just an update. I do not see a listing yet for Bath & Body Works Pure Paradise or Miami Heat but Carried Away along with the discontinued Deep Aqua do smell similar. Pure Paradise smells more like Carried Away and Miami Heat smells tropical with a sweet, Cotton Candy touch...I am thinking Aquolina Pink Sugar. Overall I think the closest to Carried Away would be Pure Paradise. They last quite awhile on the skin and smell so beautiful!

I got the Body Wash and Body Spray for the SAS this year, I didn't know this was a retired/brought back scent. I love it. Please make this a Spring staple. I love the Pear and Raspberries. I also love Bergamont, Jasmine, and Freesia. I "pear" this with God is a Woman by Ariana Grande, and its a religious experience. Adore it. I don't normally like florals and this is like a perfect mix of floral and fruity. I loveeeeee Pear perfumes.

They NEED to bring this one back! I have honestly never gotten more compliments on a BBW scent! I recently broke down and purchased the perfume off EBay, and don't even regret it, not even a little bit! It's the perfect blend of sweet, floral, fruity, and I think it's vanilla/musk, but just a HINT of it. Not overpowering at all. It's honestly my favorite that they've ever made. (Pink chiffon is a close second!😊)

I really adore this one but it does have one very nasty effect. It seems to draw really sleezy men towards me who compliment me on it before giving other unwanted "compliments". I'm not fond of it but I am fond of the scent. It's fruity and floral. I got it one time as a freebie during a sale and fell in love with it. Great for casual wear. Another one of the few fruity scents I love.

This is nostalgia in a bottle for me. I picked up an old bottle on a steal, having been overwhelmed with fond memories of the 2010s. It's clean and fruity, bright in the way that a lot of scents from this era are. If B&BW ever brings this back, I would be over the moon. Alas, that isn't likely, so I'll be happy to spritz this when nostalgia hits.

Super sweet and fruity! I can smell the pear and rasberry, maybe just a hint of freesia and violet, but not much of the other notes. Very nice for a a day off, or an afternoon of shopping. I really like this scent, I have the body mist, whish I'd gotten the eau de toilette too when I was in the US... we don't have BBW over here.

Honestly I just started using this scent and am SAD TO HEAR THAT IT IS BEING DISCONTINUED! :( I really really like it! It's a really fresh and clean fragrance! I am going to get another bottle! And shower gel and lotion!

This was the first perfume that I ever wore. I wore it for close to two and a half years. I love the raspberry vanilla scent with the jasmine undertone. Nice scent, yet it seems to me that they changed it over time.

I love a clean scent, and this one is about as clean as you can get. I generally wear the lotion, not the body spray and pair it with Preppy Princess by Vera Wang. I get lots of compliments from the pairing.

I used this at the open-air showers in Port Aransas, and now I can't stop thinking about the beach when I sniff it! Fresh and delightfully carefree.

I have the lotion and i love the way it smells. I'm assuming the lotion smells just like the perfume. And i can't wait to get my hands on some

This has a wonderful fruity and sweet floral combination. It is one of my favorite B&BW fragrances.

A slightly more complex version of Sun-Ripened Raspberry. Fun and sweet for spring and summer.
