In The Sun

I randomly thought about this scent a couple of months ago and reminisced about how much I LOVED it when it came out. I was truly obsessed with this fragrance and was working at BBW during its release. While my coworkers were going bonkers for At The Beach, I was busy drooling over this one. This has got to be one of the best uses of Neroli that I have ever come across, and I’m a huge Neroli fan and have smelled many. The touch of orange blossom and sandalwood just help to ground the neroli note and make it shine even more. At times, it’s reminiscent of a gorgeous tiare flower, but that’s also because tiare is in a similar category to these types of white florals. It’s sexy, it’s fun, it’s giving tanned sparkling skin in the sun, it’s giving golden hour goddess, and it’s giving summer hottie. I have no idea why BBW discontinued this one and left that basic ass At The Beach. The nutjob in me hunted down a bottle of the body spray and I was able to get one for a good price off eBay. Part of me wants to secure any decently priced bottle that I can find because it’s just that delicious. If BBW was to bring any one of their scents back, I think it should be this one for sure.

Thank you so much for adding this one to the database! In the Sun features a convincing and natural smelling green neroli accord bound to a flat innocuous and diluted orange-aid fruity heart anchored by a hint of synthetic salty wood. As B&BW scents go, this one smells more natural and higher quality than average. It’s nothing outstanding but it’s very pleasant especially when it’s a zillion degrees outside and you’re in the mood for something very casual and summery. It’s also a good transition fragrance out of the realm of BB&W and into true quality neroli fragrances like Zagara from Santa Maria Novella.

BRING THIS BACK!!!! This is the most unique, underrated, sophisticated and longest lasting scent I’ve ever bought from bath and body works. Every time I see someone reselling it for a fair price I try to pick it up. If you want a SUMMER sandalwood scent, THIS IS IT. It smells like a sexy beach day wrapped in delicate flower bushes. Like a Malibu Barbie but much better. Part of me wants to gate keep this absolute summer dream scent but part of me also knows the world deserves the perfect summer fragrance. Bath and body works.... just bring it back already!

My mother got this as a gift on her birthday pre covid 19. Its been lying here at home for a while now and I never bothered spraying it and by gosh I've been sitting on a gem of a fragrance. Its got this 🍊 orange/tangerine vibe when it starts off then it becomes a beautiful white floral scent. I like layering this with Hindi oud. It gives the rather harsh oud a touch of cleanliness ans poise that it lacks.

I can with confidence say that this is one of the only B&BW scents that I consider worth the money buying. Three simple notes that smell high-quality, summer-ready and not teeny bopper-ish. A well-balanced fragrance that could pass off as "real perfume". But of course, this was discontinued. I think it's funny that B&BW takes down gems, but hangs onto Japanese Cherry Blossom for dear life.
