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.

I used to have this in EDT, and now that it has been discontinued, I'm scouring Ebay for my second bottle. This is a good summer to fall transition fragrance, and one of the best that BBW had to offer. (They always discontinue the good ones). Forever Sunshine has a strong Vanilla note, tempered by citrus and made a little nutty by Praline. Overall a bright, delicious and rounded fragrance. Forever Sunshine reminds me of lemon squares topped with praline, almonds and other nuts. I love this. Lasting power is good, but layer the EDT with the lotion and you'll get a good 10 hours of this delicious scent. PS.Summer Vanillas Lemon Vanilla from BBW is similar to this, albeit a poor copy, and it sucks that they don't have Summer Vanillas Lemon Vanilla in EDT.

Apricot, citrus, peonies, and praline are the notes I pick up the most in Forever Sunshine ... And it smells wonderful! To me, this does smell like sunshine. It's a very happy and Summery fragrance that could make any day brighter just by smelling it. It's a great "pick me up" fragrance during the Summer. I can see people pulling this fragrance off all year round, but I personally only wear this during the really hot months of the year. There have been worries of this being discontinued, but I read on Bath and Body Works' Twitter account that it will just become an online exclusive. Man, all of the scents I love from this company are either discontinued or becoming online-only. No wonder I haven't set foot in one of their stores in a while!

I bought the body wash and lotion at the local BBW recently. After all the rainy, dreary weather we've been having, I needed something that smelled "happy". When they came out with this, I had never smelled it. So far, I really like it; it's sweet and citrusy, but a casual scent at that. I'll have to agree with everyone about the "creamsicle-vanilla" aroma, which is a nice aroma by the way. I don't really notice any similarities with Viva La Juicy though; I have it and to me, this doesn't smell anything like it IMO. Fun, flirty, sunny and happy, Forever Sunshine is a mood booster in a bottle. It's a nice casual scent that will put a smile on your face.

Mmmm Yummy. I love this. Creamy, bright and juicy oranges and apricots on first application then sweet, warm and creamier vanilla and praline when it dries down. This is a lovely gourmand. I agree with those that say it's a happy sort of scent. The name fits it very well. A kinda scent you'd wear on a beautiful sunny day when you're in the sunniest of moods. The vanilla is prominent in this but I don't think it's too heavy or cakey enough that this fragrance can't be worn in the summer. It's a good all rounder. I layer thus with the lotion which smells exactly the same and it lasts around 3 hours before I have to top it up.

I bought this during the Winter semi annual sale. Forever Sunshine is a pleasant surprise. I never paid much attention to it years ago. In my opinion this scent is constructed very well. I smell very little gourmand. My nose detects more citrus and floral with a touch of smokiness. Very elegant but casual.It is versatile enough for day time use. I have mixed Forever Sunshine with one of my Avon favorites. If any of you are Topaze fans, Forever Sunshine mingles well with it. I do love the packaging. Simple but pretty. Happy I purchased it,and will be one I reach for.

Pretty, bright, sweet, joyful, sunny, warm, creamy, happy, fresh, and fruity. Such a 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! I pick up on the apricot, berries, gardenia, vanilla, and sandalwood the most, but I do notice some of a really nice creamsicle smell too. This is just such a great fragrance and I’ve loved it for many years. I really hope B&BW will bring this back permanently because I don’t ever want to run out!

Ok, so I'm one of the few who don't really like this one. I don't hate it, though. I generally like vanilla smells but it's just too much in this one. Gave me a headache. I think it kind of smells like Twilight Woods but a sunnier, happier version. I even get a whiff of marshmallows. I like Twilight Woods better. Gave it to my friend. UPDATE: Well, it grew on me. I took it back from my friend LOL. It's been raining a lot here in my country and I haven't seen the sun in weeks so I use this for a little sunshine :D

This scent was truly lovely and makes me think of my senior year of high school. Perfect cozy sweet creeeeamy orange scent - not headache inducing like some citrus perfumes can be. It reminds me of being young and going to late-night bonfires and autumn and cozy blankets. I desperately wish they'd rerelease this one. The girls who get it get it and the ones who don't complain about the smell of tobacco smoke.

Apricots, Vanilla, Peonies, and Praline.. this is what i get.. and i love it so much.. i can't believe its being discontinued.. this is my "IT" Scent. Sweet and dreamy with a sexy apricot.. im not sure where im going with this.. but the description is it.. it notes the perfect blend of summer to fall.. i spray this on when i want to be cozy <3 i love it every season every day. :'(

The product description from BBW says the main notes are apricot, peony, and praline - so I think it must be the praline that accounts for that creaminess many reviewers are describing. Other people have already described the scent in detail, so I'll just say that whenever I wear this, I get LOTS of compliments from strangers, male and female.

This is one of my favorite scents BBW has released. I love the mix of citrus and cream. Maybe I'm tainted by the description, but when I smell it, I really do think of warm summer evenings, driving with friends, blasting good music, and getting ready for a fire pit night. If you can ever get this scent during a sale, I would highly recommend.

I love this scent, so fruity and bright it really hit a nice note for me when I sprayed it. However, on my skin it changed for the worse. So many people went out of their way to casually drop that it smelled like a grandma and to try something else. I wore it at home until the bottle emptied.

On me this fragrance starts off as pure orange Creamsicle. Then I get warm sugar and powdery notes along with the faintest hint of something close to gardenia that barely comes through in the background. I find it a lot more sweet than sunny. Pleasant though. It takes me to a happy place.

To me, it's a softer, summer version of Sensual Amber. I would also call it a gormand version of Clinique Happy. Wearable year-round, especially during spring and fall when the weather begins to change. It makes me feel carefree and romantic.

I love this scent! I bought the shower gel, lotion, and spray and when layered, the scent stays on me all day. It smells amazing, perfect for spring/summer. It reminds me a lot of Viva La Juicy, ecept with orange/tangerine in the mix. :)

I adore this. It's citrus and sunshine. If you could put happiness in a bottle, this would be it. This is yummy and citrus, not overpoweringly sweet, just a very uplifting fragrance.

Love the scent. Takes me on a tropical vacation everytime I wear it. I've gotten compliments on it too.

Around this time of year I start looking forward to being able to wear warmer fragrances again every once in a while. While placing an order online recently I was looking for something to round out my order and decided to give Forever Sunshine another try. When I first tried it I wrote it off as just another sweet scent. My verdict - yes, Forever Sunshine is sweet. I find it youthful and warm, definitely gourmand. I don't get the creamsicle references, personally - at least not for the mist. For the body cream, which I also purchased, I can understand why people would make that comparison. I do get the citrus notes in conjunction with the vanilla, which is creamy, but not exactly a creamsicle... More like a warm dessert with citrus accents. I like it much more now than I used to. It's definitely not one I would choose to wear every day. For the warmer B&BW offerings I would probably choose Twilight Woods or Warm Vanilla Sugar, but Forever Sunshine is very nice. It reminds me of a more bearable version of Katy Perry Meow with the orange and vanilla notes. Long story short, I am glad I gave Forever Sunshine another try. I don't think it will ever be a favorite, but I think it will be a good scent to wear to herald in the fall when the summer months are coming to an end :)

Hmmmm, well I don't agree with the Circus Fantasy reference but everyone smells things differently. For me this starts out like a creamsicle someone spilled flowerbomb on. The first time I smelled it a co-worker had just put the hand lotion on man was it strong (filled the room)! BUT it smelled wonderful. I didn't pick up the creamsicle at that point. It smelled so good I ordered a perfume/hand lotion set for myself, that's when I realized there was a fair amount of orange in the notes, but still really wonderful. So basically creamsicle meets flowerbomb for the opening and middle notes on me. Good sillage, good staying power. Then it quiets down to more of a vanilla like scent, which also smells good and lasts for a long time but the sillage goes away. I'm often worried about purchasing BBW scents because they don't seem to last, however Forever Sunshine is a worthy investment from them, and I love the hand lotion!

I just may have passed on this one if buying for myself but I received this for a gift. I had tried it a few times and really liked it so I was happy to get it. All the good reviews are correct. I don't seem to get the actual scent of a baked cake or creamsicle but I sure get that same warmth and creamy feel in my mouth which attracted me to it more than once. This shouldn't be passed if you've any interest, you just might regret it! I think you can wear this all year around but my personal preference is during summer. I love the bottle design but I still hate them gawky ugly tops! I love children's drawings and art. This scent has a childlike quality to it and they captured that in the design. I'm very happy I got this and would purchase a second time.

I purchased a shampoo called L'Oreal re-nutrition (the yellow one) yesterday because I would like to try it for my hair since it's dry and the shampoo is intended for dry hair. Just awhile ago I took my shower and when I put on the shampoo in the palm of my hand I was like "oh my goodness...this is so Forever sunshine lol"....It's very similar scent! I kept sniffing the shampoo and I laughed a bit because it was a pleasant surprise! Now I want the conditioner because I love the scent and I love Forever Sunshine..I don't care if it smells like shampoo...it's very fresh scent and I love fresh, citrusy sweet kinda scents. Hands down it's one of the best BBW scent! Love it!

Delicious! The top notes are fresh orange juice and apricot tarts for breakfast on the sun porch. The middle threatens to become that awful, musky, headachy juice that makes all BBW products smell the same (to me)....but thankfully it's really quick. The drydown is what sold me. Sitting by the fireplace, wrapped in a soft blanket while wafts of tobacco, vanilla, and dried apricots surround me. Mmmm! Tobacco isn't even listed as a note, but I really smelled it & notice others did, too. I found this at a BBW outlet store, and it is available online as well. P.S. The lotion & body cream seem to last longer than the edt.

This reminds me most of scents like SJP NYC, Betsey Johnson or fruity Escadas like Ocean Lounge - sweet sweet fruit candy over woods. This is a decent fragrance, if not unique. If you want a cheaper version of the above fragrances mentioned, this is just as good, although it does have a little less staying power. I do really like the drydown - a nice vanilla comes out and it loses the initial in-your-face fruity tang. There is something about this frag that reminds me of Coty's Exclamation, which I wore regularly for a couple of years. This is definitely less potent! I don't see it sticking around for long.

Ile De Tahiti coconut vanille (the original) and Warm Milk and Honey, Brown Sugar and Fig, and this all have something in them that smells alike to me. They don't smell the same at all, they just have a hint of the same thing that I crave. It's a very warm homey scent that almost tastes like warm pudding in your mouth. I like this one the least of them all but it's still better than most of what they've had lately. The few scents I've loved they don't keep and they have had too many that aren't really good enough to purchase. I keep checking though! This is good but not good enough to buy.

Forever Sunshine opens with a delicious burst of tangerine. It is full of sweet juicy apricot and citruses, soft gardenia, and creamy, buttery praline and sandalwood. The citrus notes make this scent bright, sunny and playful...at the same time the sandalwood/praline base gives it a warm and cuddly feeling. This is a happy, mood-lifting scent. I layer it with the body cream, which makes it last better. Sillage is surprisingly good for a BBW perfume. I'll get a heavenly whiff of this scent every once in a while when I'm wearing it, and it's wonderful.

I wanted this one for so long, had tested it many times and now that I finally have it I feel as though a grave mistake was made! o.O Forever Sunshine suddenly smells uber synthetic on my skin and all the caramel like goodness seems to have vanished! Guess my skin is on strike...? Oh no! All that is noticeable now is a plastic smell that another reviewer mentioned. DOn't know what happened but this one isn't liked anymore. ;'( Oh well, on to the next one! ;'D

Not a review, just letting people know that when I looked at the BBW website just now, absolutely NO products available for Forever Sunshine....sad! :( I never had the perfume, but the lotion and shower gel have long been staples for me and I really loved the scent. I had just picked up a couple of lotions earlier in the year, noticing that the shower gel was no longer an option. Why, oh why, do they get rid of the great ones?!

I really like this scent. It's very dozy and soft. You can really smell the vanilla and the fruity hints in it too. The potion is great too they smell very similar. Which I like because some smell totally different when they're in spray or other forms! It also has a very nice citrus hint to it. I smell oranges and peaches in the mixture too!

Smells fruity and sweet like a spicy orange creamsicle. It's cute and it would be fun to use casually. ;') Seems to have more character than Dark Kiss as well. Update: think I am gonna have to get a bottle!! The drydown is a delicious spicy and warm vanilla. The opening is also very appealing and it has lasted forever on the tester card.

I love this scent. It's my favorite from Bath and Body Works. It's sweet and comforting. It starts of smelling citrusy. To me it reminds me of sweet orange juice. Then you smell the vanilla mixed in. It's a wonderful fragrance. I waited a long time to buy this EDT. The scent is great; the silage is not. Don't expect this to last.

I have the body spray and the body lotion and it is yummy. You have the cozy sweeetness of the vanilla and the pretty floral from the freesia and poeny and the fruit from the mandarin. I really like even though it may be a tad too sweet for 98 degree heat. Delish!

This is really pretty-it smells just like one of my faves:BS Circus Fantasy so I didn't get it as I already have 2 bottles of the BS scent:P

wow! I wanna try this one...the bottle is gorgeous and I think it smells fresh and a bit sweet coz of the fruits and vanilla...luvhet!

Really nice, sweet scent for the Summer, Spring, or even Fall!

just my 2 cents, I really don't like this one. Smells just like oranges, old flowers and Most of all old men's tobacco or cigars. Why such a strong tobacco smell.?not cool ( and not the nice yummy cherry pipe tobacco ) I do not want to smell like citrus and Redman chewing tobacco , Creamsicle popsicles and tobacco... Yuck! Sorry Ya'll...

I don't think this scent is anything special. I've tried this in the lotion and body spray. This scent is too citrusy for me and is very similar to Bath and Body Works' discontinued Orange Sapphire.

Extremely sweet. If that's you scent style, then this is a wonderful find. I can't handle it personally but my baby sister loved it. A bottle of sunshine and candy, every little girl's dream.

Smells like sweet lemonade! Considering buying it.... EDIT 3/16/2012: I ended up buying it and returned it soon after...it was too sweet even for me (and I love sweet scents).

I love almost all bbw scents but this one is so overpowering and kinda smells like bug spray. Gonna definitely give this one away.

Was so excited for this and I hate it. It smells like White Diamonds 💎 by Elizabeth Taylor. It’s a very very mature old church lady scent and headache inducing because it’s so powdery and musky. It doesn’t match the packaging it comes in which is very summery, bright and youthful. I don’t see many young people wanting to smell like a 75 year old woman. I purchased it for my 23 year old and she hated it and this is coming from a young lady who absolutely loves floral scents. This purchase will be going back this weekend.

After the citrus opening and florals peeking through, this becomes straight up incense on me. I cannot wait to get home to wash it off and throw it away.

i have the body wash, lotion and body mist and they all smell a little different. first of all i love packaging and the idea....of Forever Sunshine the body wash smells the best in my opinion...you can really smell the citrus and vanilla. the triple moisture body cream has this weird smoky note to it....i dont like anything weird in my frangrances....no spiciness or smokiness....i like just pure sugar freshness and sweetness so i was disapointed with the body cream i barely use it.] the body mist is very light i can barely smell it even when i bathe myself in it,...and again there was that weird inapropriate smoke smell that i hate. i was so disapointed because i read some really postive stuff about forever sunshine....i follow a youtube guru that i admire on You tube and she was going on and on about how good it smelled but that was the body wash....the bodywash was does smell really good....i wish the body cream and body mist macthed the body wash! 5.10 maybe it will grow on me PS maybe bath and body works can remake this one without that horrible smoky note

This smells very early 2010's, I could imagine it being one of those perfumes they had by the checkouts at rue21. The EDT packaging pictured above does a good job at representing what it smells like. I will say that this is the first B&BW fragrance I've tried that translates poorly to the lotion form, I put some lotion on in the store and the scent reminded me of lemon Pledge. I love the FFM though, I'm not sure where people are getting this mythical tobacco scent from. I'm surprised that the comparison to Jessica Simpson Fancy is so downvoted because they smell very similar to me, with Fancy being a touch deeper and more gourmand. They both have an element to them that makes me think of some kind of vanilla ice cream/caramel/apricot dessert.

Love this fragrance. Luckily it is still available in the fragrance mist, but I stocked up before it was discontinued in the EDT. It does smell like orange creamcicles; soft, orange, not a biting orange but a pleasing creamy orange. I wear this often and I always spray my bedding with the fragrance mist. I wish BB&W would reconsider some of the fragrances they have discontinued in the EDT, such as Sensual Amber and Vanilla Noir. I do not know if they have done so in other countries, but here in the U.S., they did. I even went so far as to write the company, but alas my little email did not have am impact on their decision. Again, Sensual Amber is still available in fragrance mist as is Forever Sunshine.

Forever Sunshine was in line with the trend that year of "sunshine scents". The sunshine scents were all variations of a creamsicle-type fragrance that suddenly appeared everywhere. It seemed to saturate the whole market at once, from fragrances, to lotions, to candles, to room sprays, to hair products. Some brands/products were better than others. Forever Sunshine *almost* was good, but like so many other people have noted, it has a discordant, unwelcome smokiness. Suave came out with shampoos/conditioners called Everlasting Sunshine back then, and that scent is YUMMY. Smells way more expensive than a dollar. Amazing, bright, creamsicle vanilla. I wish B&BW would have bottled that scent instead.
