Gingham Glow

Sweet, aromatic, balsamic, woody, herbal, powdery, fresh spicy, floral, fruity, feminine, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, cheerful, joyful, uplifting, cozy, comforting, nostalgic This is such a delightful fragrance! It has this really lovely golden feel to it, like that golden hour in the evening. You feel the warmth of the Sun on your shoulders as you gaze out over a field of marigolds, sunflowers, and wildflowers. Such a bright, whimsical, and joyful feeling that just makes you smile. There’s almost a nostalgic feeling to this one that I thoroughly enjoy! It really does have the perfect vibe for a seamless transition from summer to autumn! There’s a sweet, floral, and almost this kind of dusty quality (in a good way) from the marigold. I also get the creamy sandalwood adding a nice woody depth, and sweet and juicy nectarine adding some fruity sweetness. It does give almost a white floral Solar vibe as well somehow. I haven’t tried many of the Gingham scents, but this is by far my favorite of them that I have tried, and likely even the ones I haven’t from reading their notes. I do think it’s quite similar to Copper Fields (which I also really enjoy), and has the same sunny late summer and early fall vibe which is really nice. I also get the comparisons to Tom Ford Soleil Blanc because I kind of get that too in a way.

Very pretty, Happy, floral, warm, sunny, delicately sweet, uplifting, bright, cozy, woody, cheerful, feminine, whimsical, joyful, and charming. It’s such a delightful fragrance! It has this really lovely golden feel to it, like that golden hour in the evening. You feel the warmth of the Sun on your shoulders as you gaze out over a field of marigolds, sunflowers, and wildflowers. Such a bright, whimsical, and joyful feeling that just makes you smile. There’s almost a nostalgic feeling to this one that I thoroughly enjoy. Gingham Glow is a such lovely, warm, and sunny golden floral scent with a delicately sweet honeyed nectar dripping through it, and the slightly sweet and creamy, aromatic woody warmth of sandalwood. I feel like there’s also got to be some syrupy orange blossom in here adding to the sweetness as well as some vanilla and amber because it has such a warm and golden feel to it. There’s also just a touch of something sun tan lotion like. This is such a perfect fragrance for summer, fall, and especially that transitional period between the two. I think the packaging is very fitting and that it’s very aptly named Gingham Glow because it really does give this overall beautiful feel of a golden warmth. I do find this to be somewhat similar to B&BW Copper Fields and oddly enough, even a bit like Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. I get good performance with Gingham Glow, especially when I’m using the shower gel, lotion, and mist together. The longevity is really nice, it lasts throughout the whole day on me. The projection is decent too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. Out of this year’s B&BW Fall and Halloween fragrances I bought the Gingham Glow gift set (mist, lotion, shower gel, hand cream), and the mist, lotion, and shower gel of Vanilla Romance (sooo incredible!), Dark Kiss, Wicked Vanilla Woods, and just the lotion Candy Apple Cauldron. Overall, I was even more impressed with my order (a blind buy) than I’d expected to be! I’m enjoying everything, but Vanilla Romance and Wicked Vanilla Woods are definitely my favorites (I’m a major vanilla fan!)! I also ended up placing a 2nd order for Blueberry Bundt Cake, Autumn Drive, Champagne Apple & Honey, Together Weather, and more Cozy Vanilla Bourbon... all of which are amazing!

I was late to the game so I only managed to get my hands on the body wash and body butter but I can't stop sniffing myself! I grow marigolds in my garden but can't detect them in this. To me this smells more like powdery orange blossom with some yellow florals like frangipani and ylang ylang, giving it a sunny, fluffy, solar feel. There's a touch of sweetness but nothing heavy or cloying. How I wish I could get my hands on the body spray of this! It's one of my favourite BBW scents along with Guilty as Fig. I'll layer this with Aerin Hibiscus Palm and JPG Cabaret. Maybe Kilian's Love Don't be Shy would be nice with it too. Update: I managed to get the body mist as well as more of the body care range and wow, I love this so much! The sweet, fluffy marshmallowy goodness with the solar florals is chef's kiss 💋 I got a compliment from a friend while wearing this, she said I smell delicious. I just wish it projected more but anyway. When I wear the beast that is Sintra I use this to layer it and I enjoy that a lot.

It smells like marigolds. To my nose at least. Already bought a backup bottle if they discontinue. IT IS AMAZING. It smell like exactly like what nectarine would smell like. Imagine orange flowers like marigolds and yellow green flowers in field, you’re surrounded by flowers bees refuse to leave alone. It’s summer time, in the dry down you get the GLOW. Slightly sweet, herbal balsamic. I don’t know why it would be compared to soliel blanc, to my nose it smells nothing like soliel blanc by Tom ford. At the beach smells more like soliel blanc by TF. It’s beautiful I don’t mind spraying it on all the time, I like it in the air, I love it on myself in my sheets even my hair. It’s lovely. Edit: updated I LOVE IT. It is the BEST bbw mist. I’ll buy the perfume too soon. It smells like nectar, THE SUN, marigolds the colour orange. (Not the fruit not the flower) maybe I have synesthesia but this smells like the colour orange. It’s brilliant I hope they never discontinue.

This is such a solar scent for me. So warm and luminous, but not bright and uplifting or like a beachy profile...it’s more like a cozy late summer (August) to early fall (September) transition scent. I see residual rays of light over sunflower fields during sunset, and the autumn air slowly entering the scene. I guess Marigold would be the main note. It’s a note I’m not as familiar with, but I know how the other notes smell like, so it was the one that stuck out to me the most and what has made this so unique compared to other Bath and Body Works scents I’ve tested. There’s a longing or yearning quality about it, something bittersweet and nostalgic. It almost wants to lean vintage, but it has a modern edginess to it. I tried Penhaligon’s Solaris, and I can say that, while this is not a dupe for it, it definitely gives me that same glowy vibe, and it’s a way affordable alternative. We’re talking one $ sign vs $$$.

A mi me recuerda un poco🤏 a Longing by coty. Esperate Esperate.....dejame explicar, este web nos dice que Glow como notas tiene : Golden nectar, marigold petals,sandalwood. Para mi - LA BASE DE ESTE body splash ES MUY PARECIDA A LONGING SI TUVIERA ESTE BODY SPLASH GLOW. "ORAGE, VILETAS Y MUSK" BOMMMM LA PEGABA ♥️ SIENTO QUE ESO ES LO QUE LE FALTA PARA ACER QUE ESTE SPLASH SE PARESCA TOTAL MENTE. Las notas de LONGING by coty eran Violet, Mimosa, Rose,Orange Vanilla, Musk, Oakmoss, Ambar, Sandalwood and Marigold. Cuando me pongo este Splash siento esa calides que aportan las Maderas Ambar y Marigold muy sensual. Que pena que hoy dia no exista Longing 😭by coty por que era un perfumazo completo sensual,fresco dulce polvoso. Este esplash de GinghamGlow lo combinó con varios perfumes en especial con perfumes cítricos .

I love this scent! It's the best B&BW Gingham scent by far. I can't believe it's been discontinued. It's like liquid sunshine in a bottle. It's summery, but not sunscreen-like or tropical at all. I almost feel warmth radiating from this scent, like you can smell that they mixed and bottled this outside on a sunny day. While it is a floral fragrance, it has a syrupy kind of sweetness to it that almost reminds me of custard or flan. It's sweet and bright in such a lovely way. Oddly, I had the hand cream first, and I think it smells better than the fragrance mist. The hand cream smells a bit more creamy, and the mist sadly doesn't last as long as I would like. However, it is still a beautiful, sunny fragrance, and I would highly recommend it.

When I first smelled Gingham Glow, I thought I was smelling orange blossom. I guess I don’t know what marigold smells like. What started out as a decent like for me, is becoming a true love. I’ve been wearing this a lot for the past couple of months, and the more I wear it, the more I like it. Gingham Glow is a warm spicy floral, almost venturing into vintage territory. I think it’s suitable for day or night, casual or a bit dressed up, and works for almost any season, and any occasion. It’s that versatile. The only downside is that it doesn’t last long, as expected for a body spray. I never get tired of this, no matter how often I wear it. What a gem and how sad that, like so many BBW scents, it seems discontinued already.

I think it's a creamy and sweet fragrance, it smells like a peach marshmallow, and as time goes by it takes on a slightly more intense and slightly floral and festive base. My mom gave it to me as a gift because she thought it was cloying, when we smelled it in the store it was more like a very juicy and fresh peach, so I don't recommend buying it blindly, but personally I think it's very adorable and pretty for an autumn morning. ૮꒰ྀི∩ ́ ᴗ `∩꒱ྀིა

I just layered this with Guerlain’s Samsara, and the combo is absolutely magical. The sandalwood in both marry together perfectly, and the sweetness of Gingham Glow elevates the combo perfectly. By itself, Gingham Glow is quite enjoyable. It’s a perfect little summer fragrance that doesn’t smell too floral or sweet, and doesn’t come off as suntan lotion-y which it might have done were it not for the creamy sandalwood.

This smells like a summer sunset. I love the marigold note mixed with the sandalwood. For being a body mist, I find the longevity to be quite good as well. I agree with other reviewers as well stating that this is a good transition scent from summer to fall. I’m very sad that this was discontinued, as this is probably my favorite gingham flanker! 🌅☀️🌻

This perfume is warm, sunny, and a little sweet. It smells slightly of sunscreen. If I didn't know any better, I would think it has solar notes. This fragrance is also one that my husband complimented unprompted, which was a pleasant surprise as it's a favorite body mist of mine. It's the perfect thing to wear to a pool party on a hot summer day.

I adore this fragrance!!! When I spray it on my skin it opens up as a bright marigold scent, as it sits on my skin a solar note comes through. The dry down smells like a sunny bright, slightly fresh sandalwood with a hint of lotion or sunscreen. THIS SCENT NEEDS A COMEBACK!!!

Wow this is soooo good! It reminds me so much of summer and the beach. To me, it kinda smell like a really really good sunscreen or tanning oil... something like that. anyways it's soo yummy.

I love it. I think it smells exactly like Prada paradox which I own as well. I love it it, and it last surprisingly long.

im so surprised by this. it lasted the whole night? and it smells soo good? when has a body mist ever done this for me?

A summery scent that you can get away with in the fall if that makes sense?

this is as stunning as the sunset in late summer - early fall, when the weather is still warm but not in a tropical or overly hot way. the kind of warm weather that still lets you wear shorts while enjoying the slowly turning yellow leaves at the same time smells like the sunset... but as i said not the tropical, summery one; the warm, nostalgic, golden hour with a little breeze one i get nostalgic when i smell this. when you mix the 70s and the country chic aesthetic i think you’d get this. i actually might back this up

A sweetish creamy scent that really reminds me of Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. White flowers and creamy sunscreen. Lasted over an hour on my skin. Didn’t test it on clothing. If you’re looking for something that’s along this line you should give this a try, esp. when it goes on sale!

I stopped into BBW on a whim, and picked up a bottle of the body spray to test it. Immediately I recognized the scent and bought it. Ladies and gentlemen, this is absolutely a dupe of Alien Goddess by Mugler!!! Perfect to layer as a body mist with the OG.
