Fairytale

A gorgeous, sweet, enchanting, cozy, warm, and dreamy amber vanilla! I really love it! The pomegranate nectar gives it a sweet, juicy, and somewhat tangy scent that is really pretty with the fresh orange blossom. The vanilla bean and amber add a lovely sweet and creamy golden warmth. Although I don’t see any additional notes listed, it’s also got this fresh and elegant woodsy scent to it. An extremely pleasant fragrance that’s a very easy reach! I definitely see the similarities to YSL Libre line. While they really are similar fragrances, I still wouldn’t exactly call Fairytale a dupe. Probably the biggest difference is that this has no lavender, while lavender is a key component of Libre. Still though, this is an excellent option if Libre is a little too pricey for you. Also, I think Fairytale pairs beautifully with Libre, and I love using the body care products with it. This is one of my favorite fragrances from B&BW and I hope to always have it in my collection. I have it in the fragrance, body mist, lotion, body scrub, and body wash. I think that this divine scent works really well year round, is great for pretty much any occasion, and works well for layering. It also seems to be a pretty big crowd pleaser and a rather safe blind buy. I get great longevity with Fairytale, it lasts all day on me. The projection is nice as well, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. The performance is even better when I use the body care products with it.

It takes a lot for me to like a vanilla-dominant fragrance but Fairytale won me over. I first sampled it at my friend’s house a couple months ago and I could still smell the dreamy, ethereal goodness on my clothes 2 days later. It’s been on my wishlist ever since, just now I finally caved and got a full size, and I’m so glad I did. The body spray is a very smooth and long-lasting concoction that mixes well with any floral, fruity or gourmand perfume. I like spraying this on my clothing while wearing a more concentrated fragrance on my pulse points. Best B&BW scent by far next to Sweater Weather.

Fairytale is perhaps one of the most decent releases from BBW in a long time. I have the YSL Libre and Libre Intense, and I get the comparison, but Fairytale is the most wearable and inoffensive. I actually would reach for FT more than the other two. The orange blossom in this one isn't screechy, while the pomegranate adds freshness. Meanwhile, the amber and vanilla give it the right amount of smoothness. I haven't encountered a person who didn't like this, so it's a safe blind buy.

this scent is a compliment magnet! it could be easy to pass because of the floral body mist connotation but it offers a lot. the opening is reminiscent of Libre but the scent itself is a sweet floral that carries some depth. the cozy vanilla is coming from within without turning sickly sweet or boldly vanillic, but also takes away the possibility of the scent being a green fresh floral. i wear it after shower and i always get noticed for how nice i smell. lasts for 4-6 hours too!

Fairytale is not really much of a fairytale like how the title says. this smells borderline medicinal but then the vanilla comes in and makes it smell immaculate 🤩 the drydown is kind of synthetic and kind of relaxing at the same time... i recommend getting this as that small perfume spray/edp if you admire vanilla scents and old-timey vintage stuff. This perfume definitely has a vintage element to it somehow, and that’s why i appreciate it so much.
