French Lavender & Honey

Yeah, yeah - it's not really a Lavender or a honey scent.... But once you look past that, boy, is this not just the prettiest scent. I picture little bows and butterflies and soft breezes when I wear this. It makes me want to skip. Literally. I nearly skipped into the office this morning looking like an imbecile. Lol. It's more of a skin scent and the silage isn't huge. So I've layered the perfume with the body cream and the body spray and that's the only way to go. I also have a small spritzer that I filled so that I can touch up a couple of times during the day. It's great for work! I wouldn't suggest it for a night out - way too light for that. It's also fantastic for layering. If you want a Lavender vibe - layer it with a Lavender oil! It smells divine, or maybe a warm honeyed body cream? In fact it's soft enough to play with. Layer this baby! It doesn't smell like the run of the mill scents that are doing the the rounds lately that all smell so similar. It also won't get you noticed in a big way. It's for neck nuzzling and cuddling and it's great to wear when you need a break from something heavier.

They need to bring this back. I've been waiting for B&BW to return this retired scent. Mine is empty, and I need to restock. I noticed that B&BW sometimes returns some of their retired scents, so I'm hoping they would return or consider this one. For me, this is one of their safe scents to blind buy. It's fresh, fruity, and a little bit floral. If you don't like lavender, don't worry because the lavender here is weak; you can't barely detect or smell it, but it's still there in the background. I also find this scent to be unisex for some reason, maybe because of the lavender. Most scents with lavender tend to be unisex-leaning; I don't know, maybe it's only me.

I love this spray. I smell the lavender, although it's not strong but it is in there. It's a clean scent and sweet as well. It wears off in about four hours for me. I don't really smell the honey, but then again honey can smell different depending on the type of flower. I've gotten numerous compliments from men and women whenever I put this on. Btw it says French lavender & honey -meaning France Lavender which they are known to grow in southern France.

Love this perfume, the lavender is very faint and beautiful smell. Not grassy or sharp. I has a fruity blend with the sweetness of honeydew melons . Draws lots of compliments. I hope the keep it around I do think they drew me in with that beautiful bottle though ! lol This is exactly the same as BBW Lavender and Spring Apricot.. just diff.package.

This is a nice, clean smell that I enjoy after a hot shower. I don't really smell lavender, but I do smell the honey notes. I don't think I would wear this to the office or on a date, since it's not a very noticeable scent, but I love wearing this around the house.

This smell Sooooo delicious!!! Yummy!!! Soooo juicy I mean it is true that I can't smell any lavender note but well, in that case, they just should change the name and that's all!!! I'm in love with this fragrance!!! <3

I love this scent for the very hot, sticky, and humid summer days here. It smells so clean, fresh, and crisp. I have no problem picking up on the lavender and honey. This will be my go to summer perfume.

This is a pretty nice fragrance in my opinion. I’ve gotten many compliments with this. I’m not a fan of lavender, but the sweetness from the other notes makes me enjoy this.

An absolute favorite! Smells like innocent childhood bubblebaths. The shower gel is very surprisingly long lasting on the skin.

Smells like dryer sheets. Pleasant scent.

“Honeydew melons🍈 and Soap” 🧼 would have been a more appropriate name! “French Lavender and Honey” raised the bar of expectations given the name. It turned out as a disappointment for most reviewers here, not because it’s bad, but because it almost doesn’t have any lavender and not much honey. It starts out with very sweet melons (and maybe some nectarines) drizzled with honey- that just adds to the sweetness. It could have used some tanginess at this stage to balance the sweetness. You can also smell some smooth powdery florals (could be violets but not their leaves as listed). Violet leaves would have been very interesting if you could smell them, but alas. Not to mention no detectable lavender, not French, not English or any other nationality 😂. In the back ground there is a clean soapy musk that does a pretty decent job trying to balance out the sweetness and adds some freshness. Overall FL&H is a pleasant FFM that should have been named differently.

This is nice. This is also generic. I smell some lavender, but it's so sweetened that it's hard to recognize. I get the honey, definitely...but this does NOT smell like the lavender fields of Avignon, with their rows and rows of lavender and the beehives that sometimes adorn them. Of course, I hardly expected that from a BBW fragrance, but that's what this really SHOULD smell like. I also get quite a bit of cool fruit from this - melon and plum. There's not much sharpness from the blackberry or mandarin orange. In fact, there really isn't anything citrusy about this at all. It's quite sweet, and very smooth. It doesn't last very long at all, but during the drydown I get a bit of something lovely and floral...it's not either of the floral notes I see listed, more of something lemony - not citrus, like I said before, that's absent. More of a "lemony" white flower, maybe magnolia? Nice for a sundress and...I don't know, housework or something. 3/10

Maybe one of the most misleadingly named perfumes ever. French? Um, no. Honey? Not sure I smell any, unless it's providing the sweetness? Lavender? Nope. No, wait, I think I smell a slight waft of it now that this perfume has been on my skin for a few hours... So, if you remove the expectations of honey and lavender and actually smell the perfume, it's rather nice. It's a sweet melon berry cocktail concoction that, although not groundbreaking or stunning, is nice on a warm summer day or as a casual office or school scent. Another plus is that doesn't have that typical B&BW base that annoys me in so many of their other scents.

I usually don't gravitate towards lavender scents at all because I think lavender smells harsh but this scent isn't too bad. I think I probably like this scent for the same reason that most people on here don't like it (because of the very light lavender scent). If you aren't a fan of lavender then you might like this but if you are a hardcore lover of lavender then you might be disappointed by this. My only complaint about this scent that it kinda smells boring and that it doesn't stand out for me.

Even though there's not much Lavender I honestly don't care as it tends to be too strong for me. The first thing I can smell is Violet and Melon a delicious combination that reminds me of Violet candy that I used to eat when I was a kid. Once it dries down, Lily, sweet honey, and musk begin to linger. It all smells so romantic and beautiful. It's a very nice sweet clean floral scent that doesn't smell too old-ladyish. Definitely one of my faves from B&BW.

For a fragrance called French Lavender & Honey,I'd expect to smell SOME of either Lavender or Honey. Not so much. This is a pretty basic BBW scent,fruity and floral with no hugely individual notes to my nose.I was really hoping for a nice strong lavender and they failed to deliver. I like it,don't love it,won't be purchasing again.

Nothing groundbreaking, but I find this to be soft and comforting. Not overly sweet or fruity, it’s kind of a combination of breezy/grassy fresh with sweet melon, and a warm comforting powder-musk. I get the laundry detergent vibe, but it just feels cozy to me. It’s a nice fresh everyday scent that’s not trying too hard.

The lotion is great. i love it, sweet and clean. The mist SHOULD be good, but it leaves a weird "dusty" after-smell. I thought I was being dramatic when I first noticed it on myself, but I walked by a girl that definitely wore this scent and noticed the dust. I only layer this perfume now hahaha

I have the older plastic bottle body mist version of this. Bath & body works loves to discontinue and reformulate their good perfumes. This one is another sweet melon-y perfume perfect for the spring. It does get a bit sickening depending on your mood. Overall worth it though.

this is my moms favorite b&bw fragrance ever, is it actually discontinued? i always seem to have a bottle at my house lol. i really like this fragrance, it smells like a lavender italian soda. so delicious and fresh.
