Dahlia

I have the perfume and body spray in Dahlia. This smells really delicious - airy and yummy whipped cream. That praline note adds a creamy nuttiness. Yum! It’s not cloying at all - it’s cozy, sweet and warm in the gentlest possibly way. It gives me that safe feeling of snuggling my face into a giant wooly scarf as I walk around city streets in the evening...soft gold Christmas lights are twinkling and snow starts to softly fall all around me. It’s a “magical” fragrance. To me, it’s a little similar to Arianna Grande’s Cloud except it’s more buttery... it’s in the same ball park at least. This is likely due to the soft praline and whipped cream notes. Bath and Body Works have been coming out with so many bangers! I’m extremely impressed. This super affordable fragrance far surpasses many of the uninspiring fruity floral snore fest launches that designer houses have been pumping out lately (such as Armani My Way and Dior Joy).

One of my new favorites, I absolutely love Dahlia. Interestingly, I didn't care for it the first time I smelled it, but months later I gave it another try while I was in the store. The entire time I was shopping I kept getting whiffs of something delicious and realized it was this, so I bought the mist and body cream. I've been reapplying all day because it smells so pretty. A warm sweet floral, and it honestly doesn't smell foodie at all to me. I get mostly floral notes at first, then it becomes something extra warm and cozy on the dry down. A sexy fall/winter scent for sure. Someone compared it to Viva La Juicy, which is one of my signature fragrances, so maybe that's why I like this one so much. Also, I see a lot of people comparing it to CH Good Girl. When I stopped at the store today the cashier asked me if that's what I was wearing. Apparently she just got Good Girl herself and said I smelled just like it!

Definitely screams AUTUMN. When I bought this scent back in 2020, I was obsessed during the fall/winter months. Its floral, fresh, mature-smelling, with a touch of gourmand. There definitely is this "whipped" note in there -said to be whipped tonka bean! The "crisp pear" definitely comes through and adds that bit of fruity/freshness, which I love. Upon initial spray, the pear is the first thing I smell and its the note that made me fall in love with Dahlia. On my skin, this turns into a perfume-type scent, rather than a body mist. On clothing, it stays more fruity, but still floral, gourmand-ish, musky. Longevity, not that great but its a mist so my expectations aren't too crazy. You'll get compliments, but this doesn't project a crazy amount....maybe the parfum version would? Not sure, wouldn't spend that much on it unless there was a sale tbh.

My boyfriend and I went through Bath & Bodyworks for a date consisting of smelling the different scents in the store to find a scent for me and a scent for him. Narrowing down to the two scents we liked for me, I had Dahlia on one wrist and In the Stars on the other. Dahlia worked really well with my natural chemistry and has become a staple in my perfume selection. Not only does it smell great (my boyfriend compliments me often), but it is very affordable in comparison to my usual Estee and Aerin Lauder perfumes. I can wear it frequently and stock up easily. I hope Bath & Bodyworks continue to carry this great scent.

This smells almost EXACTLY like Jessica Simpson Fancy. It does not smell at all like CH Good girl. CHGG has a very heavy tuberose note and coffee, it smells like everything and is a heavy scent. Dahlia is a very light airy praline-caramel perfume with top notes of pear and airy florals. It is probably one of the best bath and body has came out with, and it is a less sweet/more woody version of Jessica Simpson Fancy. It layers well with Vanilla's and other Tonka Bean heavy scents. Its really good 9/10. I have the collection apart from the EDP and they all perform well and layer well.
