Country Apple

I've been sleeping on this for so long! I bought the lotion during the SAS before this one but barely wore it because fruity scents feel weird to wear in the dead of winter. I started using it again last month and long story short I now own the entire body care line thanks to it all being 75% off right now. I like that, while being a fruity scent, it isn't just a singular apple note. When I sniff it I think of walking through an orchard due to the slight woodsy undertones. It's also not an overly sweet or sour apple smell, its very fresh and clean and slightly reminds me of the hair gel my older brother used in the early 2000's. This feels like a great fragrance to wear during the August-September time when the weather is still warm but just beginning to turn to fall.

Country Apple has been one of my favorite apple scents for years now. It is natural smelling apple with lily of the valley and some woods. The lotion is especially lovely smelling. It is evocative of autumn apple orchards for me. Delicious! This is definitely not as sweet as Champagne Apple and Honey, which is alright for me. . But it’s sweeter than Sweater Weather which is woodier. So there you go!

i love apples, and this was everything i wanted. It's such a good apple mist, i have gotten complements, and i have finished a bottle because it is just THAT GOOD!!!!!!!! this is the shit eve would smack on in the garden

Review now that it’s empty: A little too tart/sour. Nice for a shower gel but I got tired of wearing it. I used it as a shower spray.

one of my first B&BW body mists! be aware im reviewing a batch from around 2017-2018 from memory and recent usage, so the scent may have changed both from time on my shelf and B&BW tweaking the recipe. however, i doubt this is the case as even years later this scent still smells the exact same as i remember it, and it also seems country apple hasn't been sold for a while. it is exactly what it entails on the bottle. to me, it smells like a cut-up honeycrisp and granny smith apple sprayed lightly with sugar water. like what you imagine a grocery store commercial apple would smell like when it's being misted by the machines and then cut up. it's a little tart and a little sour, maybe a little bit of a green apple candy note in there, but not very complex. it is very apple and not much else, so don't buy this expecting a multilayered smell. i still like it to this day due to both nostalgia and the fact it's just a nice, fresh & simple smell. doesn't overwhelm me but is still noticeable and sweet.

Was pleasantly surprised with this. I just added this to my cart in recent SAS sale so I can complete the free shipping thing. I wasn’t too excited about this. I thought it’s gonna be a syrupy, sugary synthetic kind of apple. But boy I was wrong! This smelled so fresh, crisp and clean. It’s like you sliced a ripe red apple and inhaled the inside part with a bit of crisp fresh air and slight barely discernible floral in the background. This also smelled shampoo like to me. It sort of reminded me of those lingering apple scented shampoos. It smells so light and just fresh fruity. It’s smell is uplifting. It is kinda similar to Pink Tye Die which I also absolutely adore. So if you like those types of scents, you will certainly love this. So happy with this blind buy purchase!.

Not strong and not long lasting. I love fall apple scents but this is so upsetting compared to others. It turns into just a alcohol scented lingering smell. I like it a lot but if it was long lasting I would love

Smells very fruity and sweet. Its also fresh smelling. Its a more of a juvenile scent, which isn't a bad thing. Its something a high school or middle school girl would wear.

sooo many childhood memories come to mind when I smell it. I just can’t hate it. Too nostalgic

This is basically straightforward apple. Not crisp to my nose, or complex. It's their signature apple accord that can be found in a lot of other fragrances, this simply being in a high dose. It's not green or tart whatsoever, just sweet (synthetic, but not gross) red apple. Apple isn't my very favorite note, but I don't dislike it either. If it's something you enjoy, I'd recommend this for you either on it's own, or layered with other apple-ish fragrances. It's definitely uplifting, and probably inoffensive almost anywhere. I'd imagine the shower gel to be particularly pleasing on hot days 🍎🚿

Not sure what 2019 date is referring to considering this has been out since the nineties. A girl in my sorority wore this religiously and you could always smell it on her. Back in the 2000's fragrances were powerful, even the body sprays. While I've always loved apple, this one was never my favorite. There was something sour about the BBW rendition. My all time favorite was enchanted apple by VS. It was fresh, crisp, clean and fruity in the best possible way. I should've stocked up on the classics from the 2000's because current versions are reformulated and often much weaker.

This starts out with a very sharp alcohol smell that dissipates pretty quickly leaving behind a fresh apple smell. But the problem is that it doesn't last long at all and no matter how much you spray it, it will sit close to the skin and then the scent just vanishes. I use it at home during the summer just to freshen up and to use it up. Overall, it's unimpressive.

This smells just like apple and sugar. There is no depth in this scent at all. It's not green or tart which I was hoping for since I purchased it in a blind buy, since those are the scents that doesn't make me dizzy and nauseous. It's a synthetic red apple fragrance (more like an apple juice) than a freshly picked luscious apple. A bit disappointing.

If you like the note of apple, this will be your thing. It's pretty simplistic, unadulterated apple. It's fresh and clean, nice but not memorable. Perhaps layering can make it more interesting. I will use it up, especially in summer, and then move on.

A ripe red delicious apple; not tart and crisp and not overripe, just the right amount of sweetness and ripeness. It’s a tad synthetic solinote with poor performance but pleasant nonetheless.

This smells more like cherry than apple to me. The body wash smells strongly like apples, but the body mist smells like cherry to me. Not apples.

I loved the body cream of this in HS but these days the spray does not last. Smells good for 30 min and gone.

Very artificial smelling but not in a bed way per say. It kind of reminds me of snapple apple

re-released version doesnt smell nearly as accurate as the old one

IT SMELLS LIKE CREAMSILK CONDITIONER

Country Apple smells like old, GMO apples left to deteriorate out on the front porch of some country house in the middle of nowhere. At first spritz, there’s a blast of delicious apple goodness. Unfortunately, the fragrance dies down to a perfumy, chemically mess with that delicious apple just scratching up in bursts, clawing its way up from the grave, attempting to come through but it’s beaten relentlessly by the other key notes. I love apples and apple fragrances, but this doesn’t work with my nose or body chemistry. I ended up giving my backup fine fragrance mist to a family member for Christmas.

Smells exactly like an old Herbal Essences hairspray I used to use for ballet recitals.

Not for me. Smells like melted plastic. I love apple scented stuff but this aint it.

if u want to smell like a fake, plastic apple, get this.

Smells exactly like suave detangling spray.

This is a review of the recently re-released version that Bath & Body Works did for Memberfest last month. I promised myself that if B&BW ever re-released this fragrance, I would buy it. Since it's so popular, I knew it was only a matter of time. The last time was in 2019, if memory serves. Each item in the new Country Apple collection was priced at $5.95, which is a steal compared to the full price of these items. So, I bought a fine fragrance mist, a body wash, and a body lotion on Monday the 25th. However, with shipping charges, the total was nearly $27, which I barely had to spare. My order didn't ship until the 28th, and didn't arrive until September 3rd. So, during all that time, my anticipation was building. Last year I'd bought a mist of Champagne Apple & Honey to fill the Country Apple-shaped void in my heart, and was looking forward to using that up and being reunited with one of my first fragrance loves. When I opened the box on September 3rd, I smelled the body wash and lotion. I was taken aback, because I couldn't detect any apple smell whatsoever. I then sprayed the mist on a sticky note, and my heart dropped. No apple. When I was 8 years old in January of 2009, my mom bought me a bottle of Country Apple body wash. It smelled so much like a real apple. Not too sweet, and with only a hint of artificiality/candy smell. However, I was beginning to question if this was merely a figment of my imagination or possibly nostalgia running wild. So, I looked on the backs of the bottles, and these are the notes listed in order: apple blossom, fresh muguet, sheer sunlight, and orchard woods. Notice anything? There's no apple note! I made a post on the B&BW subreddit about this, and someone commented with a photo of the notes on a bottle of the most recent release of Country Apple prior to this one. The notes are the same, but crucially, the first listed note is "McIntosh Apple." Why on earth would they remove the apple note in a fragrance that has apple in the name? Champagne Apple & Honey smells more apple-y than this. How disappointing. But even more than that, it's just plain bizarre. I cannot think of any reason to get rid of the apple note. But now I know what older ladies must feel like when they smell a new bottle of Youth Dew or Charlie or somesuch. I've been wearing the FFM today, and the performance is abysmal, even for B&BW. My Cucumber Melon and Champagne Apple & Honey FFMs last much longer and seem nuclear in their strength compared to this release of Country Apple. As for what it actually smells like, the overall impression is a sort of light and generic sweetness, with a tiny bit of apple blossom. To give a less conventional description...this is how I remember Bratz dolls smelled fresh out of the box in the 2000s. I'm not fully giving up on her just yet. I've still yet to properly use the body wash and the lotion. But wow...talk about disappointing.

States launched in 2019? Launched in 1995, swept the nation and put Bath and Body Works on the map. The rereleases never held a candle to the OG.

Country apple smells nothing like Kayali. It has zero berry or sugary notes. It’s extremely fresh!

this is the appliest apple to ever apple. but it unsurprisingly fades so quickly
