Evil Queen

the SUPERIOR disney villain scent. i don’t think this line can hold a torch to the disney princess collection, but this scent is the saving grace of this collection. although i’m not smelling much vanilla, this fragrance is a perfect mix between apple and pear. i would totally wear this during the fall!

such a gorgeous dark apple scent that has quickly become my favourite from b&bw.

I like it a lot. It’s like the brooding younger sister to champagne apple and honey— it has a spicy element that is reminiscent of a more autumnally-inclined Eden Juicy Apple. this is actually what i WANTED eden juicy apple to be, but i still find both of these to be a little sugary for my taste. Also a little l’imperatrice vibes, which i think is the aquatic element. I still prefer champagne apple and honey (which ironically i used to layer w/ EJA back in the day). Honestly it smells a lot like ALIEN I disagree with the demeter apple blossom in the “smells like” category - as a loyal adherent to that scent, this smells nothing like it.

I had first smelled the maleficent one that made me physically recoil, so I think the whiplash I got from finding this scent actually bearable may have encouraged me to have a higher opinion of it initially. I like it, its fine. It is inoffensively apple (which is a feat in my mind) with a gentle vanilla undertone. I wish that it didn't fade so quickly, I'm new to fragrance so I don't have the words to describe it quite how I'd like, but the fruit notes fade first into a "vanilla with a slice of pear sparkling water sitting across the table from you" sort of scent

Nothing groundbreaking, but a nice fall juicy pome fruit and vanilla fall fragrance. I know B&BW’s fall scents are notorious for being reminiscent of candles to some, and I think this is the first time I get what people mean. It’s not sickeningly candle-like or anything, and totally wearable as a scent(I quite like it!), but there’s something there —and it’s very subtle— that makes me think of fall candles. The spray is nice and the body cream and body wash make for a great layering base for my other pear and apple scents. I like it!
