Fireside Flurries

Sweet, woody, floral, warm, powdery, musky, aromatic, balsamic, fresh spicy, smoky, feminine, sensual, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, inviting, soothing, calming, cozy, comforting The epitome of everything cozy and comforting, and so very delightful! This is hands down one of the best fragrances that B&BW has ever done! It’s very well balanced and blended. Sweet, fluffy, and powdery toasted marshmallow, woody and musky cashmere woods, and soothing and aromatic lavender. I get the lavender more in the opening, the dry down has just a whisper of it. It’s about equal parts sweet and gooey toasted marshmallows and cozy cashmere woods, so it gets more yummy as it dries down. It’s like wrapping yourself up in your coziest sweater as you sit near a fire and toast marshmallows. This is such a perfect scent for fall and winter, especially when you want something sweet, woody, and cozy. It also would make a lovely bedtime scent for those who use them. Personally, I usually prefer either Warm Milk & Honey or Honey Vanilla Dream, both from the B&BW Aromatherapy Sleep line because. I use them strictly for bedtime, whereas I enjoy Fireside Flurries too much to only use it then, and want what I use at bedtime to be something that my mind relates with only that, and not other occasions/times. In comparison to other similar scents: Cozy Vanilla Bourbon - Probably the most similar imo. Even though this has no lavender, they still smell quite similar. This does have a more rich vanilla scent to it, but it’s the closest thing I can think of to Fireside Flurries. Skylar Caramel Alps - Definitely the most similar perfume. They share the same sweet marshmallow, soothing lavender, and woody notes. Caramel Alps has other notes, but those are the most prominent as well as a soft caramel accord. Imo they’re almost identical. Replica Coffee Break - This does have somewhat of a similarity with its vanilla, lavender, and cedar. However, it also has additional notes like coffee, patchouli, milk, ect. There’s a similar vibe and scent to a degree though. Bonfire Bash - They do have similar vibes, although this has no lavender, and the addition of sandalwood making it a bit more woody. There’s also less of a marshmallow vibe here, but I do still somewhat get one. However, I definitely prefer Fireside Flurries. Replica By the Fireplace - Much stronger, more unisex, and more realistic. There’s less marshmallow-y vanilla, and no lavender. This is an excellent fragrance to pair with Fireside Flurries, especially with the body care. Commodity Milk - This is marshmallowy and woody, but doesn’t have the lavender, and is much more lactonic.

Sweet, floral, woody, warm, powdery, fluffy, musky, aromatic, feminine, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, soothing, calming, inviting, delightful, cozy, comforting I’m so thrilled to have finally snagged this one! I got it along with Bonfire Bash, and to my surprise this was my favorite of the 2! I do love everything marshmallow, so I knew it would be something I would really enjoy! I really love the combination of sweet, powdery, and fluffy marshmallows, aromatic and floral lavender, and the woody and cozy cashmere wood. Overall, it’s a softly sweet fluffy and powdery marshmallow with lavender and cashmere wood adding a comforting and cozy depth, and keeping it from being too sweet. It’s gorgeous! To my surprise this reminds me quite a bit of another BBW favorite of mine, Cozy Vanilla Bourbon. However, this has lavender and cashmere wood, while Cozy Vanilla Bourbon has more vanilla to it (which I also get in Fireside Flurries), and is a little sweeter. For reference, some of my other favorites from BBW include Coco Paradise, At the Beach, Oahu Coconut Sunset, Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Forever Sunshine, Cashmere Glow, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Cozy Vanilla Bourbon, Vanilla Romance, Aspen Caramel Woods, Pistachio Glaze, Touch of Gold, Bonfire Bash, Fairytale, Wicked Vanilla Woods, Everlasting Magic, Vermont Honey Apple, Almond Blossom, Fresh Vanilla Blossoms

I blind bought this because I read that it was a good dupe for fans of Bonfire Bash, but also because of the fragrance notes and the glowing reviews of it online. I am more than halfway through my bottle of Bonfire Bash so I had to find something to fulfill my marshmallow dreams. This is one of the only additions to the Christmas collection that I am a fan of, for Bath and Body seems to have watered down and ruined most of that collection. I love this one, but I wish it was stronger. It does tend to linger in my clothes even after it quickly fades from my skin. While she is a dupe for BF, she is still very different. Bonfire Bash smells more edible in my opinion, while Fireside Flurries is sweet but floral. The lavender note ties the marshmallow sweetness together very beautifully. There is a hint of smoke, but not as prominent as the smoke in BF. The outcome is an elegant and unique, pillow soft cloud of sugary goodness that envelopes your shoulders. She's very light but lovely, nevertheless. Don't let the lavender intimidate you. There is only a very subtle hint of Lavender. I promise you aren't going to be walking around smelling like essential oils lol. 💜

So Glad this is finally in Fragrantica! After smelling this when it launched on 2021 for the first time, I fell deeply in love with it. I bought like 4 backups of this, and 3 shower gels of the same scent, as I was very scared this would be a one-time launch and it would never come back again. So I was patiently waiting for winter this year to see if BBW would bring it back and almost cried of joy when I saw they did (even though they changed the packaging this year, but hopefully not the scent!). To me this smells very similar to R.E.M. from Ariana Grande, but the lavender is toned wayyy down, and it is a sweeter scent. This also gives me the same vibe as Milk Expressive by Commodity, and even though they don't smell exactly the same, they layer perfectly well together! (Try it if you haven't!). Hopefully this gets to be part of the permanent winter collection at BBW and they keep bringing this every year. This is my 2nd Favorite fragrance from BBW. Oh, and also I almost forgot! This layers amazing as well with Zadig & Voltaire This is Her!

If you are a gourmand lover, you should definitely get your hands on this. It is sweet, woody, fluffy, and smoky (not in a bad way) at the same time. The combination of Toasted Marshmallow and Pink Lavender gives a warm comfort to my nose, and the Cashmere Wood gives a slight saltiness and muskiness. Although the prominent note is the Toasted Marshmallow, you'd still get that relaxing and floral aroma that the Lavender has. This smells like Ariana Grande's R.E.M but without that “Sweet-Cancelling” salt note. If you're looking for an R.E.M dupe that performs like a perfume, then you should definitely try this one out. Note: Fireside Flurries is much sweeter, dense, and thicker compared to R.E.M. Performance: Didn't expect for the longevity to last for like 4-5 hours since this is a body mist and the projection is just enough for others to smell it. I recommend you guys to wear it during cold days (or nighttime), not on EXTREMELY hot days, or do otherwise if you want to smell like burnt fancy marshmallows.
