Forever Sunshine

Beautiful, bright, sweet, cheerful, sunny, warm, creamy, charming, feminine, flirty, joyful, fresh, clean, citrusy, juicy, fruity and floral. Such an effortlessly pretty, happy, and bright fruity floral vanilla! One of my all time top faves from B&BW... I love it! The packaging really has the right look to match the fragrance! It has such a lovely, warm, sweet, and sunshiny feel to it. If happiness could be bottled into a scent then this would be it! I pick up on the citrus, apricot, berries, peony, freesia, vanilla, and musk the most. It starts off bright, fresh, citrusy, and juicy as the fruits take center stage here with touches of fragrant peony and fresh and clean freesia. As it dries down you start becoming more enveloped by the warm and creamy vanilla as well as the soft musk and a bit of sandalwood. It becomes more of a sweet, creamy, and warm vanilla with the bright fruits and fresh florals still lingering throughout beautifully, only now somewhat more subtle. I get something similar to a really pretty creamsicle like scent. This is just such a great fragrance and I’ve loved it for many years! I think overall it’s a fairly versatile fragrance. I tend to reach for it the most during the summer and fall, but I do think it can really be worn year round. It’s a very easy reach, something that just puts a smile on my face when I smell it! I think it works well for all age groups as well as most occasions. I really hope B&BW will bring this back permanently because I don’t ever want to run out! I also have this in the lotion which I love to pair with a couple other fragrances besides the matching fragrance itself. Some of my other favorites to pair the lotion with are Burberry Goddess, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, Viva La Juicy Sucré, Viva La Juicy Gold, SDJ 40, and VS Tease Creme Cloud.

To me, the bottle is a pretty good visual representation of how the fragrance unfolds. At the top it is bright, citrusy and sweet - think freshly squeezed oranges and zest. I have actually been craving this scent to wake me up in the morning. It's wonderful in the winter for a pick-me-up... As the fragrance settles (like the colors on the bottle shift to richer tones), soft musk, sandalwood and creamy vanilla appear. They mingle with the bright citrus scent making it cozy, delicious and addictive. (Though it had me at citrus, these notes are just heavenly.) Lastly, the bottom hues of the bottle are dark jewel tones, representing the dusky dry-down. This is a direct portal back to my childhood. One of the notes, tonka bean, is a replica of the tobacco my dad smoked in his pipe - sweet, nutty and comforting. It takes a while to warm up and fully blossom, but there is no denying its earthy sweet presence. I few years ago I loved BBW's sublimely bright and simple pink grapefruit scent, but abandoned it because I grew bored. It needed warmth, vanilla, praline or something complex to hold my interest. THIS scent has that and more. Seriously SO glad I found this before it was all gone...

Forever Sunshine is just a general crowd pleaser of a fragrance. Warm and summery, great for transitioning into fall. Some say it smells like an orange creamsickle and I get that from it too in a certain light. I've often read people think of it as a yummy Viva La Juicy dupe. It just makes me think of melted ice cream cones with summer citrus fruits somewhere on the side. On my skin I defiantly get the vanilla, sandalwood, musk but it's gentle. The cozy elements really work with the fruity ones that it's not just a plain old "boring" kind of vanilla at all. Its pure summer in a bottle to me. I'll always be at a loss as to why this was essentially discontiuned. I can only imagine they were scared that the names would compete too much with "Forever Red". Personally, I think Forever Sunshine is absolutley a much better fragrence than Forever Red ever could be. There are limited choices of it online, but the EDT is no longer advailable, which I think was the best formulation of Forever Sunshine. Booo. Bring it back.

This is absolutely gorgeous...my mum bought herself and me one, she sprayed it in her room and my father and brother came in sniffing the air wondeing what smelled so good...then I went home and my hubby and his father were looking around trying to find out what smelled so good..lol. On initial spray, there is a definate burst of manderin..I wasn't sure I would like this because I usually detest citrusy scented fragrances, but a few minutes after spraying, there came this beautiful scent of what I can only describe as a creamsicle, but not cloying at all. I really can smell the apricot and vanilla in this one, and the initial citrus dries down into this creamy, warm, sunshiney scent. It turns heads and it is beautiful...I think it is good for any time of the year, specifically spring, summer and fall. Will definately be repurchacing.

just purchased a small travel size set of it and its really quite nice based on the name, i was expecting a citrus scent but nothing could be further from the truth-this is fruity gourmand scent that would fall into same category as Viva la Juicy. I get a little bit of zesty fruit on the first spray and some berries with cream, then it turns into sweet creamy cakey scent that reminds me of lemon cake with cream and fruit on top. I think its the praline note that give it that extra sweetness. Lasting power is ok, body spray lasts couple of hours but it has to be layered with lotion. Still not bad. I like the scent a lot but i hate the ugly drawings on the bottle that looks very crude and childlike. BBW is really slipping lately with their bottle design.
