Gingham

It’s kind of confusing that there are two entries on this site for Gingham. Anyway, I’m reviewing the EDP and the fragrance mist. The EDP scores points right off the bat for having a sweet, mellow opening rather than a burst of sharp alcohol. I smell fruit for the first couple hours, but eventually it becomes predominantly floral and soapy. It’s a fresh soapy scent, not a stringent one. After four hours I can barely smell it, but it is still there. I can’t stress this enough: it’s a really beautiful scent. Groundbreaking? No, but there’s something special about this one, a certain je ne sais quoi that I think makes it truly ageless; anyone from 9-99 could pull this off. The body mist is nice, too, but is less orangey than the EDP. It’s really refreshing and perfect as an after shower mist or to take with you to the gym. It’s crisp, clean, and never cloying.

Such a gorgeous fresh floral scent!! It's appropriate for school and work and can be worn for casual events, too. This is very floral and citrusy. The perfume is so lovely but it doesn't last very long (on my skin, maybe 2 or 3 hours max or a solid 3 hours if sprayed on clothes). Layering the perfume with the Gingham body wash, mist, and especially lotion helps the sillage and wear a bit. I think the smell is gorgeous and still worth it, I just respray any time I use the restroom throughout the day. If you really like very fresh floral scents and don't mind layering up with the other products or reapplying throughout the day I think it's totally worth giving it a try, the scent is just that good.

As I was searching for a lighter and fresh scent, I stumbled upon this in BBW. It had that sweet floral scent with a touch of citrus. Just perfect for everyday use in my tropical country. I was pretty obsessed with this scent, and indulged myself in most of the line (fragrance mist, body wash, etc.) it was such a comforting scent that I even spray the fragrance mist on my sheets before going to sleep. I usually reach for this when it's sunny outside because the natural warmth brings out more of the citrus. It's definitely a scent that makes me happy. I find that it lasts longer on my clothes than skin. Clothes nearly 5 hours, where skin maybe 1-2 hours at most.

Sweet & clean. This is a very pretty and light scent that has good staying power. It remains sweet without losing its freshness. It's a perfect everyday scent to wear for any occasion day or night. My nose detects sweet powdery freshness. It smells like an expensive perfume, I wouldn't think its a body mist. Suitable for any age, but I see someone in their mid twenties and up rocking this as an everyday scent. This is a safe reach and will make you smell feminine and clean. 10/10

Gingham is a straightforward, happy, preppy scent. I love the mandarin and freesia combo, as it's a great balance and sweet without being cloying. Both primary notes smell authentic and clean. I have the mist as well as the edt. The edt perfumes better (of course) with moderate sillage and longevity. This scent is an immediate pick me up of the fresh variety. Definitely a great value if this is your cup of tea, and it is mine!

I'm not one for clean, fresh scents most days, but sometimes, I am, and this is my go to. This smells very bright and fresh, like clean linen, oranges, and violets, without smelling like laundry detergent (which I hate). This fragrance doesn't last too long on me, but neither does the higher-end designer versions of this. Good value for price, this is a safe blind buy if you're looking for a fresh fragrance.

Sweet (sugary kind of sweet) + citrusy (orange citrusy) + fresh (morning kind of fresh) + juicy (like a bit diluted sweet cordial drink). Smells like the sweet mandarin oranges you get during Chinese New Year made into juice. The dried down smells like a male perfume a bit to me maybe because it's unisex. Loved this. This is my review for the mist btw.

I'm reviewing the body cream! Oh my goodness. I'm in love? This is a cup of freshly squeezed clementine juice. So sweet and sugary and yummy. I was looking for something sweet and citrusy over the summer and have found it. Unsure if the fragrance mist smells the same, but I really want the whole set now.

Perfect clean girl scent. Great for the days I don't know what to wear or want something fresh & light. I own this in all of it forms from BBW & most of the flankers. Gingham is classic Bath & Body Works. A little bit fruity & a little dash of floral. Inoffensive scent for any occasion.

I collect most BBW perfumes and that is why I purchased this. I am very surprised by how much I like this! It is a clean scent, without any discernible notes, but pretty and fresh. It just smells like fresh shampoo in the best way.

Yesss it's floral with lil bit sweet which is that makes me fall in love. It's a light scent. Suitable for day time. Definitely for summer and spring. Not to girly, because it's airy and clean feel.. :)

beautiful scent for summer.. smells very clean and a little citrusy and aquatic..it smells exactly like an old oriflame perfume called northern lights that i used to weare for a long time

I love this scent, it smells like fresh clean laundry!!! It's citrusy & floral, a great fresh, clean scent. My only issue is that it barely lasts 2 hours, even though this is an EDP.

Gingham is a gentle but very good-smelling fresh scent. It's so well blended that I can't pick out any particular notes. Inoffensive and extremely wearable.

I smell a watered down MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 from this. I bought one for myself. A good performance body spray. Just right.

I love this fragrance. It has a beautiful feminine and sweet scent. One of my favorites.

perfect for everyday wear , feels more expensive without breaking the bank

I was longing to leave a review about this scent and completely missed that Fragrantica finally created a page for it :) I like this! I own the body spray, the shower gel, the moisturizing shower gel, the body cream, and the 7ml perfume. I got these at a very cheap price in store. Apart from the three notes listed the shower gel bottle mentions *white peach*, which is not listed here but is very detectable. It's a very nice fruity floral, very feminine and pleasant, and somewhat clean and juicy. I don't find this groundbreaking nor would I want to smell like this on a very important occasion, it's just a nice and safe perfume in my opinion. Perfect for those who like light fragrances; it's pleasant, safe, but not insanely incredible to me.

The thing I love most about Gingham is its opening. It starts off with such a happy, juicy, mouth watering clementine note. This note is well balanced between sweet and zesty and is quite refreshing and delightful. The heart is more on the soft feminine floral side with some hint of unlisted peach. I can detect easily a sharp white musk and probably some sandalwood in the base. The heart and base are quite lackluster after that bright opening and the overall performance is quite weak. But if you don’t mind respraying it is a nice pick me up scent for summer. However don’t pay full price for the EDP, the mist would be the better choice.

This is my all time favorite BBW fragrance. It is floral but sweet, not sugar like. This is the perfect Freesia and Violet scent. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't last. I only get a few hours of the scent on my skin. I have dry skin so you make get to the 4-6 hours with a proper moisturizer. But to be honest I don't care, BBW sales a cute travel spray of the perfume that fits easily in my wallet. This scent is so good for spring and summer I'll happily reapply.
