Champagne Apple & Honey

Ah, this is what I want in a fall scent. I've never been a big one for the pumpkin obsession...at all. I'm also an avid B&BW collector, but I'm not one of those who fixates on their fall offerings. I found this in a 75% off bin at their last Semi-Annual Sale though, and it was just my taste. One thing you should know is that the "apple" note, while present, isn't the most prevalent. It isn't an overwhelmingly apple scent, like DKNY Be Delicious, so if that's what you're looking for, this may be a bit different. This is perhaps more of a "caramel apple", or "candied apple", which of course is more fitting for the fall season. However, it's very sweet, and could easily be worn in summer. The honey and champagne notes blend together so nicely, so I can see this one as a people-pleaser, which B&BW excels at making. I could see young tweens or even kids enjoying this, but I don't find it so saccharine that an adult couldn't wear it. It is basically all that the name states, not much by way of surprise notes. Sometimes, that's a good thing. There is something about the particular combination of notes that has almost a "gumlike" quality. But I like that. It isn't pink bubblegum like in Paris Amour (though that also has champagne and apple notes, especially the lotion), and it isn't as strong as Forever Red, but it is there. Overall, this is an extremely pleasant scent that I would recommend to anyone looking for an autumn scent that isn't pumpkin, but that is lighter and more carefree. This would be ideal for apple picking, bobbing for apples, or any sort of trip to a farm. I love the honey note; I think it's an underused note in fragrance. As with most B&BW scents, the siliage and projection aren't the strong suits, so apply liberally and reapply as you see fit. Layer it with the matching lotion for the best results; if you like the fragrance mist, you'll love the lotion.

Sweet, fruity, crisp, fresh, juicy, bright, effervescent, playful, happy, warm, woodsy, cozy The apple note is the star here. I picture biting into a super fresh and crisp honeycrisp apple that’s so juicy that it runs down your chin. It’s sweet yet just a little bit tart too. I also get the sweet golden warmth of honey, some bubbly champagne, and a lovely soft woodsy scent that helps to balance out the sweetness. I personally enjoy wearing this the most during the fall, but also during the late days of summer. It’s a really pretty and cheerful scent that’s perfect for at home, casual occasions, ect. I get good performance with Champagne Apple & Honey, especially when I use the lotion and mist together. The longevity is decent, it lasts most of the day on me, but I would reapply if I were going out in the evening. The projection is nice too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

Maybe I'm just biased with the apple fragrance in general because I really adore how soft and fruity this one is. The apple opening is slightly sweet then it dries down to a super soft champagne scent. It smells so delicious and cosy. It reminds me of a slightly sweet drink or even a body wash. I don't usually go for fragrances that tend to be overly sugary or at least sweet in nature, but this is subtle and really does it for me. The sillage is moderate. It isn't too intimate, but not that strong either. It lasts fairly okay for a fragrance mist at 3 to 4 hours. Layering this with similar fragrances would definitely make it last longer. I love smelling this on my clothes or my blankets. You may have to spray a lot of this to get maximum potency, but it's okay since it isn't really that expensive. 8.75/10 for me.

This smells soooo good! Reviews are true, it is a great clean scent. The apple is fresh, crisp and sweet. I had actually gotten fairytale from BBW and wanted it to be my signature scent,,, however... I was allergic to a certain note in the mist, and it’s definitely a mature woman scent, not my thing. I can compare this to beautiful day, however not entirely, beautiful day does have an apple note, but it isn’t exactly a repackage. If you blind buy it, do it. It has a slight floral note, but the honey makes it so much better, I don’t smell any woods in it though, smells like sweet apple cider!!

This is a great scent that is easy to wear all year long but I think it specifically reminds me of late summer and fall days. I definitely agree with the other comments that mentioned it has an apple juice and shampoo scent/vibe to it...but in a good way! This is crisp, juicy, playful and perfect for everyone. I only wish the scent lasted longer as that champagne note is quite addictive but i believe pairing this with Kayali juicy apple (as they smell very similar) would fix the longevity issue and have you smelling like juicy, red apples all day.
