Chasing Fireflies

I don't get Libre from this at all, thankfully, as I am not a fan. I do get Libre from Fairytale, albeit a much more approachable take on that dna for me. This fragrance, however, is a stronger, more vanillic take on Coach Dreams Sunset and Givenchy Dahlia Divin. It is like the intense or extrait version of those fragrances. Heavier and more robust with a healthy dose of rich vanilla. It's very much present in the juice, though not listed in the notes. Chasing Fireflies is one of few BBW scents that stands firmly on it's own. I could go all day in the lotion and still be scented at 5pm. It's strong. And it is a scent profile that really projects. I am not one to often wear my bbw scents by themselves, using them usually to enhance or layer with my edps and parfums due to strength and longevity being understandably low. However, this scent does not have that problem AT ALL. The ffm lasts all day. Even the hand cream lasts for hours. i own the entire body care line of this fragrance because I truly love this scent, and will be buying backups on the next body care day...

I'm personally big on white florals, especially jasmine. Chasing Fireflies balances this well with woody notes, so that you aren't getting too much of an airy, floral springy scent; much more of a fresher, complex spring. I'm surprised there isn't a powder, as I'm picking up on one. The initial spray is woodsy on me and dries down to a nice white, clean flower; untraditionally complicated for a BBW scent. I envision running through a grassy meadow in the summertime, chasing fireflies is a perfect name for this. Its like the smell of clean sheets, or a nice deodorant. It's what I would consider a great seasonal transition scent, summer to fall, or winter to spring-- I wear it every season but summertime; its just too woodsy for the summer IMO. My male partner even wore this with me at the time, so it can be gender neutral, though definitely more feminine. If you like florals and want something fresh and clean without some sweetness or fruit, this is the scent for you.

Such a glowing gem in the B&BW line up! Wears more like an EDT or EDP than a FFM. Such a well blended lil masterpiece. I love it when a fragrance is harder to pick the individual scents notes out and yet still evolves as you're wearing it! Layered with rounded edges not sharp and yet has that lingering glowing sensation which makes it's naming so spot on. Late summer's cooler nights and fall's cooler days is when I really love this one the most. But it can easily be worn far more often than that. It really does have a vintage & nostalgic expression in it's DNA. But without knocking us out as some scents from back in the day might. My teen DD has fallen hard for it, too. She loves the very natural/ mother earth vibe as she calls it.

This is my Holy Grail. Despite being a B&BW fragrance, it smells expensive, comparable to Paco Rabanne Fame in my opinion (I'll later the two but I'd argue Chasing Fireflies brings more to the table). It has woody, citrus, gourmand, fruity, and floral notes. Fresh but not in a clean way but in a crisp bite of a fresh pear or a breath of air in the woods type of way. It's also incredibly versatile. I'd wear it any season but winter and in both night and day. Both the longevity and silliage are amazing. Ill find myself catching a whiff of something pretty and then realizing it's literally just me. It's a tragedy that it only ran for one season before being discontinued :(

Idk what is in this formula that gives me such a massive headache, but I am obsessed with Chasing Fireflies and devastated that I didn't realize it was being discontinued before I could get more of it. I love it so much I endure headaches for it. I don't think I have ever said that about any fragrance in my life. Smells like vanilla-pear magic. It's very musky and sweet, maybe a bit ambery. It reminds me of Coach Sunset Dreams, but a more creamy and intense version. I just have a bottle of lotion, which is so potent that I mix just a couple drops with unscented lotion and it leaves a very noticeable trail. Wish I could get it in EDP! :*(
