Mad About You

I really enjoy Mad About You. It's sweet but not as candylike as Be Enchanted, for example, hence it's more suitable for daytime/office wear. The peony blends well with a very realistic blackcurrant/strawberry accord. I like the blackcurrant because it's different from the usual fruits one finds in mainstream fruity-florals. The drydown is somewhat spicy with a tiny hint of musk, almost unisex, actually. I could see an adventurous man trying Mad About You. The trick to making this scent last is overspraying, and possibly layering with the other products in the line. The shimmering body cream, which comes in a can like whipped cream, is very nice indeed. I achieved a moderate/"long-lasting" longevity and a moderate sillage. Many people complemented me on my perfume, but no one said it was excessive.

Got this body fragrance last winter (2014) on a whim with my sister. We both had to get our own, such a beautiful scent. We also mainly got this because we heard a lot of guys had bought this for their gfs. We figured it must be good. What captured me was its inital juiciness with florals sparkling in the background. To me this scent screams confidence, expensive taste (spoil me) and a lovely date. I love to wear this on late nights and even during the day when I need to feel like "that chick" lol. I can also definitely pick up the strawberry, peony and pink jasmine notes. One thing about it, is it's a bit strong so I wouldn't put on too much and it has great staying power. Love it.

I'm a fragrance connoisseur and have purchased many niche and designer fragrances. However, Mad about you definitely still has that special in my heart. I first fell in love with this scent and have built so many great memories while wearing this fragrance. Since the perfume has been discontinued, I've tried to buy something similar like Mon Paris from YSL, but I find that so juvenile and lacking that sultriness that Mad about you has. Mad about you (I'm talking from body mist point of view as I've never smelled the perfume) is such a masterpiece and is one of a kind body mist. Please bring back the body mist and body shimmer mist!

I bought the small sample bottle back in February but did not give it more than a test whiff and set it aside. I'm not sure why I waited so long to give Mad About You a good try. Maybe it was because the weather was still so cold and this seems to be more of a spring/summer scent. Anyway, I have recently started wearing it and love it! So light, fresh, and fruity. Just an extra tip. Mad About You does not seem to last very long on the skin. I tend to also give my hair a good spritz of it. Seems to me the scent holds longer on my hair.

I bought a few sample bottles of this via mail from BBW last week and have to say I rather like it. I'm usually not crazy about black currant, but this is done tastefully. It mixes with my chemistry very nicely, and while the sillage isn't much, it does last a good while on the skin and longer on clothing and hair. For a BBW, I'd have to say that along with Forever Red and Amber Blush, this is a keeper.

I love it! I do not like vanilla anything and I detect none at all. More of a woodsy/amber scent which is my favorite. I have the lotion, bath gel and spray. Does not last a super long time, but is light enough to reapply without becoming overpowering. Give a spritz to my hair also. Inexpensive as well. I am over 40 and it is very becoming. Not just for the younger crowd!

I love this tartly sweet frag. Unfortunately, ill have to try to not get attached bc B&BW tends to discontinue a lot.....-_-. This fruitcholi is fresh and tart; not cloying at all. I smell sour strawberry and peony. Its not sophisticated but its flirty and femenine iin a fun way. More tart than sweet

I really miss this fragrance.😭😭😭 It's seriously so good! It mainly consists of big,plump,juicy,sweet strawberries and hearty patchouli! A touch of Sweetness. It's girly,gently seductive,and oh so pretty! It smells good enough to eat!

Usually not a huge floral person, but this one is great. Romantic. Reminds me of something kind of dated, but in a good way. I think the base of patchouli and amber makes this one for me. Unlike anything else.

The berries smell delicious in this!! A sweet and fruity fragrance, although I wished the silage was stronger for this :( Others still can’t smell it on me despite being very generous with the sprays!!

Lovely berry-influenced floral splash. Sweet, sweet, sweet, best in moderate doses! I have used it in my perfume rotation for over a year and still enjoy it thoroughly.

Very pretty smell, feminine, sweet but very bearable! Cute little bottle that's perfect to throw in your bag. I've gotten many compliments on this fragrance.

Love it madly! is definitely sweet enough to me! i also found some sour candy on it... it's sexy!

I find the patchouli in this to be very strong, and if people don't like patchouli, they might find that this smells dirty or weird. It is kind of a polarizing combo, the strawberry & patchouli, but it isn't the first time it's been done (Rihanna's Rebelle, but there are plenty of spicy notes and cacao and coffee to balance out the sweetness of the strawberry). I used to really like this one but might pass it on to someone else since I don't wear it much. I had it on my December Perfume Tray and touched it once. I remember first trying it and thinking it was addictive which lead me to buy it. It's similar to lots of Bath and Body Works floral fruity scents, but with that patchouli aspect. Does remind me of a rich girly girl in a way. Maybe I'll give it more chances in the spring before giving it away. Not mind-blowing, but a nice BBW scent. Not for everyone.

I've smelled Mad About You which is supposed to be in stores February 3rd. It's the Valentines collection, when I thought Velvet Sugar should of been for Valentines Day. It's very similar to Velvet Sugar. I can smell some differences though. I smell the White Patchouli ( which isn't overbearing ) It's acutally enjoyable for those who really don't like Patchouli much , Strawberry, Mint, Musk, Vanilla and Black Current. I think Mad About You is the mature version of Velvet Sugar aimed at a slighty older crowd, than Velvet Sugar is. Overall I give Mad About You a 7/10, because I'm not a huge fan of patchouli, it really depends on how well it goes together with the other notes like how Katy Perry Killer Queen is. I think this perfume is good for day, and night. This lasts between 4, and 6 hours on me, which is good for a EDT.

My sis just gave this to me for xmas. I finally had the courage to try it and it actually agrees with my skin! I like it a lot! Sweet but not cloying, nothing turning sour (like it sometimes does with BBW products when they combine too much sweet with too much musk). I should mention that I'm using the Diamond Shimmer Mist version, not the actual perfume. that's OK, the mini glitters are fun! I would say this is a nice balanced "warm pink" smell - the berries aren't overwhelming and I think the florals are well selected to blend it all together. I'm detecting cedar too, just a little, not too dry - must be the amber wood combined with the musk and peony (?) - I'm new at note detection. EDIT: Dang, I got tired of it quickly. Must be the musk. :( Gave it to teen daughter.

This is a unique scent for Bath and Bodyworks. Everything lately all smells the same and all of the good fragrances have been discontinued. To me it smells like how I think a bouquet of Peonies would smell. I can also smell the strawberry in it. Unfortunately it is not as strong or last nearly as long as I would hope it would and for $40 a bottle I'm not sure I would repurchase it. There are so many better stronger longer lasting fragrances on the market and the price is too steep for the quality. Don't fall for the cute bottles people!!! Its what's on the inside that counts :)

MaY starts delightfully with juicy, tart and sweet berries. Yes black currant is the star of the show, but you also get the strawberries and probably some raspberries as well. After a while some rosy florals peek in shyly. Overall MaY is a pleasant flirty fragrance that is not ground breaking but very wearable. The performance for the EDT is a little better than the mist, but in my opinion the slight improvement doesn’t justify the price difference.

Very fruity, as the main accords suggest! What I mostly get is the black currant. The peony tones down the fruity blast of the black currant and strawberry. Lasts a long time, but obviously since this is only available in the body spray now, and only during the Semi-Annual Sale, you have to spray a TON to get that lasting power (which I do anyway). It's very sweet and I think most people would like this.

To me, this one manages to break the Bath and Body Works mold a bit and has more character than so many of their releases. I really smell the berries and a little patchouli and musk. I didn't think I liked it after getting the trial bottle but I wore it around one day and went, "Ooh...I really like this." Of course I've been a BBW junkie since high school. Trying to break the habit. But I love this one.

idk if i'd like to have this in my collection again but i actually really loved this as a mist. although sometimes my guy friends would say that i smelled of strawberry vape (which was actually true) but in a nice way. inoffensive sweet juicy strawberry scent, white floral with a hint of patchoulli. love the musky vanilla drydown.

I bought a small bottle of this about a month and a half after it launched, and I have to say that I like it, but I'm not overly impressed by it. It smells sugary and fruity like so many other B&BW fragrances, and it is overall nothing special. I'll use up the sample bottle for sure, but I probably won't be re-purchasing.

I smelled this today at my local BBW. It's pretty, but it reminds me of Dark Kiss only a little more sweeter. I will eventually get this, but I'm not gonna pay full price for it. Usually there is a seller on eBay that sells legit BBW eau de toilette's a few months after they are relaesed and I will wait for that.

This is nice. The sales associate suggested I try it and she sprayed on a card that I carried around sniffing until I was hooked. Got the lotion and wouldn't mind the edt for my purse. Fruity but not overly sweet. It has a fresh spicy hint that makes it more enjoyable for me.

smells very pretty, shame it fades right away. Extremely poor staying power, had to return it to the store :c

Sweet floral blend, a good "around the house" or a run to the grocery store inexpensive scent.

Strawberries and light patchouli dominate this for me. It's also a bit fresh. I like it.

This had a wonderful strawberry and musk fragrance that I loved...briefly. I love BBW sometimes...but even I have a minimum with body sprays for longevity. I can't mess with things that last a mere 20 minutes. My husband couldn't detect anything after 20 minutes either (so it wasn't that I became nose blind). 1 hour of lasting power at least is needed before reapplying. I would like to try the lotion or EDP sometime, but the FFM is just impossibly light. I gave it away. It did have a pleasant aroma, much like Velvet Sugar, but VS sticks around for 2 hours. This doesn't.

smels like cherry blossom..so accurate ..no silage or longevity

As a guy who is very familiar with past Bath & Body Works fragrances, I've smelled and worn several that most men would never wear. I am wearing Mad About You now (the lotion), an old one I found, and I quickly remember WHY I stopped. One of the notes, cassis, is well-known for resembling cat pee... and, although it doesn't smell like cat pee to me, I suspect that is the note that doesn't blend well because SOMETHING in Mad About You is too harsh for my nose. I don't have any problems with black currant, peony, patchouli, or even strawberry... I really think it's the cassis that ruins the whole thing.

At first I really liked this one because it wasn't too sweet. After smelling it after an hour, the patchouli gave me a huge headache and made my nose hurt :( Thought this one would be my favorite at first but patchouli somehow doesn't agree with me

This is my husband's favorite scent; however, it's one of my least favorites. The patchouli is the main note I smell, followed by the peony and black currant. Patchouli smells like body odor on me, so this scent just doesn't work for me at all.

I know that not every nose is the same so don't jump on me. There is something about this one that turns my stomach. Ugh I can't even use this as air refresher.

Gosh, I wish I could handle the super sweetness of this! But I just can't. It's just getting me. So, I gave it away to someone who likes it. :)

Very sour strawberries, with spice . Dry down smells like stomach acid to me. I cannot handle this one. Sorry

the body lotion smells OK, but the body spray is mid. not bath and body works's proudest moment.

can’t speak to the edp but the body spray smells like tums

Again i Agree. I repeat so so Sour! Like rotten fruit

*cracks knuckles* This is one of my most hated fragrance EVER. I had this as a gift, at the time when I am not a collector and I did not care about fragrances. But oh boy boy boy... this is the fruitiest, most sour perfume that I have ever smelled. Really hate the artificial fruit and if you have a sour skin chemistry this is not for you. This smells super cheap and there is no payoff. It will remain sour till its drydown. It smells like strawberry champagne vomit or something it’s just gross. I never finished the whole bottle because it was so fruity.

This scent......this scent is what got me into fragrences. At the beginning of this year, hubby and I were in the mall and stopped by BBW because I was out of lotion and I have always loved BBWs triple moisture body creams and I hadn't had one in a while. After sniff testing I got warm vanilla sugar (which has been my go to since forever) and this one.......because it had patchouli as a note and I love patchouli. As I got home and wore the lotion I fell more and more in love with the scent and wanted the whole collection which lead me to reviews, which led.me to notes which led me to to a mild obsession and finally venturing out of bbw land. As for the fragrence. The strawberry, currant, and.peony are bright and right there. It's not sugar sweet like a lot of bbw scents. The patchouli in there, man adds a smoldering sexiness to these bright, cheery notes. My husband loves it on me and he hates patchouli. I also find the scent strangely comforting in a way. It great. I love it and hope it's never discontinued.

This fragrance and I have a good story lol. So, I am born and raised in Alaska. We did not have a bath and body works in our state until around 2017. This was the very first time I went into a store and got to smell all of the fragrances. I picked the Mad About You and Pink Cashmere. When I tell you I fell in LOVE and am still in love with this fragrance! I was a junior in High School at the time and Mad About You was chosen to be my spray that would be in my locker lol. So I would spray it in between every class, with the people around me getting very annoyed lol. So it takes me right back to those times but also becoming the B&BW fan I am now, this is still one of my all time favorites. It smells like a very juicy fruity berry mix with this kind of soft musk. It's very juicy black currant, sugar, mixed with a slight floral-herbal musk that you can't put your finger on if you tried. But this fragrance definitely got love from me!

Smells almost identical to another B&BW scent-Pink Chiffon.This one might be a touch sweeter,but one could easily interchange them,and no one but you would know. So,in that respect,I would say if you have one,no need for the other,unless you feel the need to own every B&BW scent ever made. As I explore new scents,and my tastes mature,I find this one to be redundant,and my irritation at the company grows with each new release.I agree wholeheartedly that they have taken old,and honestly boring fragrances,put them in prettier packaging,and passed it off as a "new" scent.Meanwhile,classics like Magnolia Blossom and Charmed Life get discontinued,much to our dismay.I say bring those beloved old scents back,and quit trying to fool us with big shiny pink packaging! It may work on the 12 year olds,but us grownups want something truly original.Perhaps it's time I gave up on B&BW,as I may be *gasp* too old for it now!

Sweet fruity floral scent by my favorite line Bath & Body Works. This is a pretty peony on me. It's a light floral but it has more than enough flowers to still smell like a floral perfume. A jasmine, smooth and silky, mingles with peony and white lilies. This is totally a girlish scent, despite the lack of gourmand notes. There is a very nice strawberry scent which is how it starts. The fruit topping also includes grape black currant and cassis so that it smells like a strawberry liquor or strawberry cocktail. It's delicious. The dry down is amber with a little touch of vanilla. It smells sweet, fruity, floral, and perfect for spring time. It's romantic, innocent, sweet and my kind of fragrance. I have the eau de parfum and body mist. The mist requires layering it with other scents or with a body lotion that has strawberry in it. Sweet sweet and tasty perfume.

oh not bad its actually sweet strawberries bright yet full its deep yet crisp its almost incensy its full of berries full of sweet memories its a night strawberry scent something u might also want to drink but not as refreshing its more of a strawberry jam scent a nice home made jam .. it dries to some deeper woodsy berries almost velvety almost sugary actually very sugary sweet as in candy sweet..good for layering still that candle waxy synthetic background accord lingers to annoy me ..what to do we have to embrace the new era of synthetics with a smile

The original juicy sweet strawberry note reminds me of the original Miss Dior Cherie. Then it calms down to flowers and more than a little bit of patchouli. That differentiates it from all the myriad frooty florals. But it doesn't have enough complexity to elevate it to a memorable fragrance. Like all body sprays, I use this as a refreshing cool spritz after a warm shower. It's a part of my fragrance ensemble, but not the main part. Just a little layer of fresh that dissipates, and my actual perfume takes center stage.

One of my Fall & Winter fragrance line up because of the deeper notes of amber, musk, and patchouli. The body lotion lasts all day. I was out shopping tonight and they had a tester of Vince Camuto Vince Camuto and it only took me a few seconds to figure out it was a stronger replica of this fragrance. Maybe B&BW copied V.Camuto? Either way, if you are fan of V.C. and want a cheaper price point, go with Mad About You. With all the money you'll save, who can be Mad About that? *wink

I used to have this a little while back but they discontinued it. I found it on their website under retired fragrances and ordered it. Just received it and I really love it. It smells a lot similar to Bath & Body Works Dark Kiss, which I also love. However, this one has a little bit of patchouli in it, where as Dark Kiss does not. There's something about this fragrance that smells super sexy. I want to order the matching body cream now. Good longevity & sillage. Fruity and sultry.

I like this scent . I smelled it in the shower gel and thought it was divine. I bought the spray which has a light fruity and fresh scent. I think I smell strawberry....and strong florals. It smells like a powerful fresh shower......like amazing soap or expensive salon shampoo. Unfortunately, it has very weak lasting power. You have to layer this if you want it to last or spray Ur hair. ..what I really like about this is that it is more mature of a scent.

I got this because it reminded me of Halle by Halle Berry (one of my favorite perfumes from 2009). I want it to smell amazing. I've had it since Valentines Day and worn it only three times. It's kind of overwhelming, and gives me a headache or makes me nauseous after a while. It's like after an hour or two my own scent makes me sick. I guess it doesn't match with my chemistry, because I end up smelling like Robitussin. Pass!

LOVE this! It's one of the newer ones in my collection, but I already know I love it. I bought the body cream a while back, and wore it almost every day through out the summer. It smelled almost florally, but not quite- I feel like carried away is a florally scent. This is more sweet. When I wear the perfume I could definitely smell the strawberries at first, then it settles into a nice warmer kind of scent. Love!
