Country Chic

This is one of my favorite Bath & Body Works scents, as well as one of the most unique. I find it very hard to describe because the notes are so hard to identify. It is fresh and light, so I suppose the citrus description is technically accurate, but it's NOT the sharp "bathroom cleaner" citrus that may scare people off. It is very soft, probably thanks to the flowers. It is a little bit sweet, but not enough to deter anyone who really dislikes sweet scents. It may be a good choice for people who don't usually like citrus. It is also very, very feminine and youthful, not like the masculine or herbal citrus you find so often. It's hard to pick out individual notes here; they all blend together into one singular, comforting smell. Overall I feel it's the white flowers that give it such character, but again, they are soft and not the headache-inducing variety of white floral. It's listed as a gourmand but there are no food notes here at all, or patchouli (thankfully). It's clearly for daytime wear, but also oddly cozy and relaxing in its own way. Of course it doesn't last very long, but it will never get too overpowering. I think it's safe to say most people probably haven't smelled anything quite like it. Unique, soft, and hopefully one that will appeal to a lot of people usually skeptical about citrus scents.

This scent is beautiful...at least on MY skin. I think this is one of those scents that it REALLY depends on body chemistry. One of my friends tried it, and it just smelled like strong florals. But on me, I get this sweet and tangy lemon smell, that dries down to a sweet jasmine and gardenia mix. Then it goes into a very soft woodsy smell. It is VERY pretty, and definetly reminds me of laying out in a field of flowers. It's refreshing. But, again, I think this one really depends on your skin chemistry. Try it out, and give it some time before buying it. The staying power is okay, not the best, but it isn't terrible. All in all, I recommend it :) I think it's a very refreshing scent that you can wear almost all seasons...maybe not winter, but, still. :)

I am in love with this perfume! I know a lot of people do not seem to like this fragrance but on me it smells like a warm grapefruit with a hint of vanilla. I know that sounds like a strange combo but it totally works! This is my husbands favorite fragrance on me. Every time I wear it he comments on how wonderful I smell. This is the fragrance I wore on my wedding day and I have always made sure to have a bottle of it on hand. it is my signature scent in the spring and summer. its light and fresh.

This scent works so well on me. I often get compliments on it and asked what it is. Rather amusing, since I purchased it simply as a guilty pleasure, thinking it smelled a bit cheap. Wearing it takes me out to a field with a glass of refreshing lemonade on a hot, summer day. Definitely a comforting scent for me that I thoroughly enjoy. I don't find it suitable for the fall and winter, though. I also find it to be faint, but that's easily remedied by using the lotion along with it.

I was very surprised by this scent. Although it only lasts about 4 to 5 hours on me, the balance of it is worth it. It is fruity but crisp, not too sweet. And the sweetness that is present has an airiness to it that just makes me feel like SPRING! Bath and Body Works has produced a very nice perfume, not just a linear scent. Country Chic is definitely my style in terms of the way I dress; this fragrance fits me too. Hurrah!

This one smells really good. It reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana light blue for some reason, due to the lemon scent. light blue smells more citrus where country chic smells sweeter. I would say this one is a sweeter version of light blue. Which is great cause this one cost much less than light blue (like $100 vs $20) and this one last a while on me too. Overall very happy with this purchase.

This is my everyday go to fragrance that people know me by. And, the best part is it's CHEAP, so i can get more whenever. On me it smells very warm, sunny, and pleasant like walking in a field of flowers by my willow tree to hang clothes on a line while having a picnic.

It first hits you with the smell of the tagetes, sweet greens and maybe a sweet-ish lemon, but ends with a nice splash of amber. It's actually not too sweet and smells like a wide open space. Probably one of the top 5 of the best BBW scents, I highly recommend it.

Starts off with a fresh burst of citrus, and mellows into a sweet soft floral. I'm not getting anything gourmand from this. I'm impressed with all the notes in here and the complexity of this fragrance.

Fresh, clean, feminine. It smells lovely on me. I love it!

this is a girly, fresh, yet still sweet, warm scent.

Country Chic's initial burst is one of citrus zest with soapiness. A clean soapiness that is invigorating. It's not an old-fashioned soapy feel, it's wrapped with a woodsy feel, thanks to the Virginia Cedar, which predominates in this floral fruity gourmand. I wouldn't call it a gourmand tho, to me, it leans more towards a woody musk. Praline and pear sit on the plate most definitely, but think of County Chic as an outdoors fragrance. One you'd enjoy wearing as a transitional one in the cool Spring months when Mother Winter begins her thaw and the temperatures begin to rise. When you start to shed your multitude of layers of clothing, and you're wearing a sweater with a jacket, jeans and ankle boots, this is the one that's a comfort scent on those sunny afternoons. Quite a few notes mix together in Country Chic to create a rather pleasant perfume that's gentle, a whisper on the wind, a flurry of the budding leaves and a walk in new spring shoes on the fresh growing grass. It's not heavy. It's not overwhelming. It's perfect for the springtime. It's a perfume to transition from the heavier perfumes of winter. Country Chic radiates lightly but enough to let others know what you're wearing. Longevity is about 3 hours. A comfortable week-end perfume for lounging.

If you're into florals, then Country Chic is a perfect fragrance for daytime wear (especially during the Spring and Summer)! This one surprised me, because I enjoy this fragrance very much- so much that I finished all of the products I have, and I plan on repurchasing them once Spring rolls around again! To me, Country Chic reminds me of fresh grass and wild flowers on a fresh and sunny day. There's a freshness and a slight powdery-ness with a hint of citrusy goodness. I can definitely pick up on the floral and musky notes listed, and I can pick up on the citrusy notes. There are sweeter fruit notes in this (raspberry and peach), but I don't really detect them that much. The citrus notes do give a VERY subtle sweetness, but raspberry and peach almost smell sugary to me. I don't detect that kind of sweetness with this fragrance. I'd say that this is a very versatile fragrance when it comes to the age ranges that can wear this. I think it's suitable for all ages because it's a light and fresh fragrance where none of its notes are overdone. Considering all of the berry and sugary scents that Bath and Body Works is releasing lately, I'd say that Country Chic is one of the signature fragrances that stands out. Highly recommended! :)

I dont have this fragrance but I do have the body lotion and body spray, and I must say it smells very sweet and lightly floral with out being offensive. with floral scents I get headaches but not with this one, the name does suit it too x3 I would like the EDP of this! im getting this when I got to bath and body works next time update: =D I got my hands on a bottle finally! to start off, like the lotion this starts off with an energetic lemony zest then mellows out to sweet smelling flowers with out being way too flowery or over the top. when I smell this,I see a sweet southern farm girl walking through a flower field blowing dandelions in the sunshine x'D (cheesy, I know) the longevity is pretty decent depending on wear you spray this, I'd say this lasts up to 6 or 7 hours, maybe longer if u spray this on top of the lotion and body spray.

Wow! I am really impressed by this! Or should I say I am really impressed by the opening and middle notes. I would agree from reading the reviews that body chemistry seems to be particularly important with Country Chic. On me the beginning and middle are a sweet mix of notes in particular lemon, African orange flower, peach, praline and musk. No noticeable florals. Musk becomes more prominent in the drydown and it begins to develope a slight, dare I say it..."Light Blue" vibe towards the end, in fact gradually it turns completely into LB. Which isn't really a bad thing, just a tad disappointing, because the rest is so good I wish it would have held onto it's own personality. I'd call it the "eventually LB with a more interesting start up" perfume.

This honestly used to be my favorite scent ever. I had everything, the edt, the body butter, lotion, soap, body mist...everything. I wore it every single day my freshman year of college....but my freshman year of college was really, exceedingly bad...so this now just makes me thing of my freshman year in college, so I don't like it all that much anymore.However, I do recommend it if you just want something nice, light and clean. It's a lovely scent, just associated with many, many bad memories for me...such a shame.

I have the shimmering body spray. I don't know how "country" it is but it begins as a light citusy-green fragrance, very nice. I think gourmand is stretching it a little. It's relatively sweet but not in the way some are today. Once the citrus wears off it's a fresh-floral and still just the right amount of sweet. I haven't seen it again in years at the store but I would pick up another because it works really well for summer.

This is a fresh, pretty scent and I love it... but alas, it smells TERRIBLE on me. With my body chemistry, this winds up smelling almost like urine. NOT good. Sprayed in the room or smelling it out of the bottle though, this is a simple, clean, fresh fragrance that would be great for anyone. Soft lemon, crisp and slightly sharp cedar, with just a tinge of floral in the background. Very nice. Wish so much that it worked on me.

I didn't like this scent when I first sprayed it. As it "drys down," if I have the right terminology, it has less of whatever smell I can't stand and then smells really nice. It's definitely a floral smell, but it's not typical. Maybe it's the Marigold or Sunflowers? I like it. It's fresh and slightly sweet. I think that it smells better on my skin than on my clothes, but either way, it's pretty good.

I always keep at least one BBW scent around, and Country Chic has been newly added to my collection along with Cashmier Glow. I was introduced to it by my niece. I told her she smelled good and asked her if she was wearing D&G Light Blue (or a more flowery version of), and she said no, it's Country Chic. A beloved BBW brand fragrance that smells like Light Blue at half the price? Yes please!
