Covered In Roses

I wasn’t going to get this fragrance, but wow! I’m so glad I did! Rose fragrances always remind me of those powder room guest soaps that Italian Nonas always put out when company was coming over. They’re sickly, powdery, and overwhelming. Covered In Roses absolutely broke the wheel, and managed to make me fall in love with a rose fragrance. It’s so good. It’s feminine without being overly girly. There are absolutely no overwhelming old fashioned powdery notes. It’s well balanced and so easy to wear. It’s not sickly sweet. It’s honestly beautiful. It has decent longevity for a body mist, lasting about four hours on my skin. I only wish they had a body wash and body cream or lotion to complement the experience. That would be total heaven. Today I tried an experiment. I layered it over Chanel No. 5. I do like some vintage powdery fragrances every once in awhile, especially when I’m just chilling at home at night, and Chanel No. 5 is such a nostalgic classic that I think every woman should have in her collection at least once in her lifetime. Covered In Roses picked up on Chanel’s rose notes so beautifully, and changed the entire mood of the EDP. It felt modern, and sexy, and absolutely delicious. Try this layering combo if have both, and enjoy!

Sooooooo good! Perfect layering bath and body line for Delina and Delina Exclusif original and dupes. Not my usual scent profile , but I can appreciate the feminine juicy fruits and powdery rose, I have Delina/Exclusif & dupes, but this is not only a great option for layering, but also for slowly adjusting to this scent profile. I’m not a rosey pink perfume girly, but I don’t mind exploring the idea of becoming one and this B&BW dupe is not only good for layering, but also good for easing into the dna when the inspired by and dupe experience might be too much. Edit: Ok, so I used this layered with a Delina dupe as my bedtime scent but it got to the point where it was too much. Really pretty, but I’m not a fruity floral type so it became screechy laying in a scent bubble for hours in bed. I added Bianco Latte and that smoothed out the screechiness . It’s really beautiful but a bit much for me as someone who doesn’t really do this type of profile. I think that as much as I like it, I will have to layer with creamy vanilla scents to soften the tart red fruit and strong rose scent. This is an outside scent profile and not a bedtime scent profile and that was my mistake. Love it, but it has to BREATHE!

I left BBW mists back in 2007, I believe the last thing I purchased was Japanese Cherry Blossom and Woods-something, and it was that year that I got heavily into perfumes. I never went to BBW again, aside from ordering a few candles online from time to time. I was at the mall last month, and as soon as I saw three roses on display i had to go in. I am a huge lover of roses in perfumery; in fact, rose is my preference, so I had to try the three mists on display. Out of the three, CIR was the best, and performed the best, so I purchased it on the spot. It smells of sugared roses, and it appears much higher in quality than it is, although the performance is short, and i get a couple of hours out of it. I like it for quiet evenings at home when I prefer to wear perfumed lotions rather than a perfume. It is really classy and in no way cheap-smelling. I wish i could have landed the body lotion too, but they were out. I believe I would prefer the lotion over the mist, due to the alcohol content in these products. However, CIR is really pretty, even though it's cheap. Make what you want out of it.

Not familiar with Delina, but if Covered In Roses smells anything like it, I bet I would love it! This scent is beautiful and versatile. I typically wear this during the daytime but its sweet enough for eveningwear as well. With a light hand, I can even wear it to the office. The rose note is not typical. It's very green, almost like a rosebud after rain. Even with the "ruby berries" note, this is a rose-forward scent with the berries taking a backseat. I find that they add back the sweetness that the rose lacked. The amber note is only really evident after a little while on the skin. It's really well blended and a surprisingly lovely rose fragrance. There are very few rose scents that I like, so I didn't expect to love this scent at all, but I've been reaching for it at all hours of the day. It's soft enough to spray before bed, and cheerful enough to spray first thing in the morning. It also has above average longevity for a BBW body mist. I'll be repurchasing this scent as soon as I run out, or during the Bath & Body Works Semi Annual Sale. Whichever comes first.

Definitely my favorite bath and body works mist for multiple reasons. This scent made me fall in LOVE with rose! I was never too big on fragrances with mainly rose as a note, but this is such a sweet, absolutely beautiful rose. If you blindly told me this was a B&BW FFM, I wouldn’t believe you because of how elegant it is. Also... THE LONGEVITY? LITERALLY THE BEST! I still smell this on my clothes the next day after spraying. Literally lasts longer than my $100+ Dior perfumes. I work at B&BW, and I can say that this line in general as a whole has very good longevity compared to every other FFM release. I can confidently say that B&BW realllly did their thing with this line. It’s supposed to be designer fragrance dupes, and the quality is really there. If you’re on the fence about it, I would say go for it. I’d recommend you smell the whole line, I am also very fond of pink obsessed, but I chose to review covered in roses because it’s my favorite. So overall, YES. 10/10
