Forever Red

I'd almost completely given up on Bath & Body works for skin products other than their body lotion and anti-bacterial soap, however..... I Really Really like this one. Which definately suprises me. There are so many scents from BBW that I thought they could have blown out of the water with their concepts but they never seem to deliver. Every scent always smells the same. Sweet and overbearing. All with that same BBW smell that you just can't get past. Forever Red was definately different. I actually bought it with an order online in the sample size because I thought what the heck if it doesn't work out I'm only out $5. I wasn't sure what to expect when it arrived because the notes were so different. I sprayed a few sprays in the air...decided it was safe to put on my skin and was pleasantly surpised it actually smelled kind of...well...fantastic! After a couple of hours I could still smell the sweet (but not cloying) vanilla-y, rum-y, fruit-y scent that quickly reminded me of something. CHRISTMAS!! This scent is Christmas!!! That's exactly what Christmas should smell like in a perfume. I know that sounds weird, and of course I'm not talking about the spicy, cinnamon, pine tree Christmas smell that embodies Christmas, but as a perfume, if I wanted to smell the Christmas this would definately be it. It's definately, feminine, sweet, and gives you a warm feeling. It's more a winter scent to me..not daring enough to be called a sexy scent, but also not little girl cute, or young in any way. It's also not a food-ish type scent despite the vanilla rum. It's just a nice, sweet (but not headache make you sick sweet)pretty, feminine scent that makes you feel warm and fuzzy and Christmasy all over!!! Maybe not my all time favorite, but I definately like this enough that I went back and bought a full sized bottle and I've been wearing it just about every day since. Maybe that won't last when Christmas is over, but if you want a fun wintery scent this may just be for you! :)

FINALLY! Bath & Body Works has truly stepped up their game with this new fragrance. No more scents for your tween daughter, this scent is for a real WOMAN. Forever RED. What do you think of when you see red? I think: passion, confidence, and of course...sexy! Red heels, red lipstick, that red dress, & so on. The color red is a STATEMENT and so is this fragrance. When you smell this on paper in stores, it is unbelievably mouthwatering. The first impression is a burst of fruit. Luscious fruit blended with soft florals so its not some nasty fruit smoothie, its a beautiful beginning. Then, my favorite part, the vanilla rum and oakwood behind this scent give it a certain edge, a special touch of richness and dare I say masculinity that gives this fragrance depth and character. On my skin, I have noticed it dries rather quickly. Luckily I bought the mini perfumes so I can keep it in my pocket and respray as I go. But now, they only sell the big bottles and if you're lucky they will still have the perfume roll-ons or wands in stores. I recommend layering the scent, with shower, lotion, and then perfume, so it stays longer & stronger. It's their priciest fragrance for Bath & Body Works, but still cheap compared to designer department perfumes. It however does not smell cheap by any means, it smells luxurious, and its a very classy and subtle statement of sexy. A lot of you mentioned it smells like Christmas, I agree, however this may just be cause of marketing, the red packaging etc. This scent is warm, delicious, and oozing with confidence.....its perfect for anytime of the year. However I do not beleive its an everyday scent (arguable) In my opinion, its better as a going out scent....parties...dates...intimate sessions with your man....this scent smells THAT GOOD. Go for it. Bath & Body has a 100% guarantee so you can TRY IT, and if ya don't love it, you bring it right back. Sincerely, The Boy Next Door

I liked Forever Red a lot more than I expected to. I was a fan of the now-discontinued Midnight Pomegranate, except the harsh tobacco note, and I find this a somewhat better alternative. Forever Red in many ways lives up to how B&BW have advertised it, in that they've taken care to make it classier and more unique than a lot of their recent generic releases. It lasts longer than most of their collection, but is still recognizable to many with that fruit and vanilla core. It is a warm, sexy, rum-dominated scent, sweet but not in a candy-like or girlish way. It walks the line between bright and youthful versus mature and sexy, and body chemistry will probably decide which for many people. The nice thing about it is that it can be whichever you want. It carries the warm, boozy note of rum throughout, while the rest evolves from fruity to creamy. I don't think it will overpower anyone but it won't go un-noticed by admirers either. Overall I think this is a very pleasing, well-constructed fragrance that is suitable for many occasions. It does strike me as special enough to not be counted as an everyday scent, but I think it serves well for dates, nights out, and maybe cold nights in. I'll certainly be using this to keep cozy, fun, and confident through the winter.

Forever Red has to be one of my favorite fragrances. Period. I love the burst of pomegranate when it's first sprayed and how it becomes more rounded during its dry down with the floral and woody notes. It reminds me of Christmas because it almost smells like a warm house with baked goods in the kitchen. The warm sweetness is definitely the marshmallow shining through. With this being said, I'll find it difficult to only wear this fragrance during the winter because I love it so much. I think the fruity notes makes it versatile enough to be worn year round (unless it's 100 degrees). Not only does it smell amazing, but on me, this fragrance lasts a really long time. I love how it lingers beautifully throughout the day and night. This is one of the reasons why I don't think it's overpriced. A lot of people complain about the price, but I think it's reasonable considering the high quality of the fragrance. I think it's the only Eau de Parfum spray made by Bath and Body Works, so the difference in price seems logical. Overall, I give this fragrance an A plus. I hope B&BW keeps selling this one.

Absolutely LOVE this scent! I can't stop smelling my arms, I'm typically only a fan of extremely sexy sultry scents that drives the boys wild, and I gotta tell ya this is one of them! If you like Vampire by body fantasies you will love this perfume, amd in my opinion they smell quite similar, however, forever red is deffintatly a more "sophisticated" and developed scent. This is a perfume that reaches its full potential during the holidays and in cold wintery weather, but I wouldn't be one to reject the idea of wearing it durning the summer. This scent is more appropriate for winter and something you would expect to smell on someone during a colder season. But as I said this perfume is still a doable scent for spring and summer time because what some people would consider to be "over powering" is a chance for you this perfume to become your sing nature scent. In other words, this is not a perfume you would expect to smell on someone during summer and the notes are deep and memorable hence sniff sniff OH that's Melany I can smell that perfume she always wears. Deffintatly gunna buy this
