Mediterranean Mirage

Not sure why this has such a low star rating and mixed reviews, this is one of my most complimented scents that I reach for, by both men and women! I get asked by at least one person what I'm wearing any time I wear this out of the house. I get asked at work frequently what I'm wearing when I put this on. It's just so good. When I tested it in store I was pleasantly surprised. It's warm, woody, and clean. Very strong, very unisex. Even though I got the body spray it lasts for a decent amount of time - I noticed it started to fade slightly after four hours but can still catch whiffs of it throughout the day or throughout a shift. Some people say it's too masculine and I can understand that if you're used to wearing sweeter/floral scents, but I find it to be perfectly unisex. It's more of a cozy, fall/winter fragrance IMO but I've been wearing it through August and September with no issues. No pickle juice like some reviews state, no funky alcohol smell. Get your hands on this, you wont regret it! 10/10 will continue to repurchase! Edit: I have to add that I finally made an account on here solely to review this fragrance. Pick it up during one of their $5.95 sales!!!

This is literally so good?? I was honestly shocked when I peeked into B&BW for a moment yesterday, wanting to buy a nice fall scent. I noticed they had a new one for their dupes collection, and one spray of this had me floored in the best way. To me, it smells soo expensive but that must be the musk. It's like an aqua, musky smell that I probably wouldn't have tried based solely on the description. I also agree with other reviewers that this is a unisex smell, which I love, because I've bought and worn colognes before. I tried the body spray, but I really wanted this one to last, so I got the travel size perfume of it. I was walking around the mall with it on, and I could still smell it the whole time, even in the sephora perfume isle, like ughh its so good. Go and get you this one.

I've tried lots of FFMs from B&BW but this one is a monster in its own right. It's woody, aquatic, clean, expensive, and masculine. This is so potent that I can smell it ever so strongly on my skin the entire time I'm outside, no kidding. I even make my husband wear this. It smells so good on him. Definitely not for people with sensitive noses as it may trigger sneezing. It smells like an expensive men's EDP disguised as an FFM. Worth more than the 5 bucks, that's for sure. It can be worn all year-round, like at any time of the day, any day. Avoid spraying too much, though. Its sillage is quite loud, and the longevity is a bonus.

Sweet Amber and dark aquatic scent. I imagine a dark tropical paradise night club near a beautiful waterfall with ambience, lighting, and the air smelling like tropical drinks, and tropical flowers. It’s dark and sensual. I love it. It’s super strong. I do get something vanilla almost. I like it with vanilla perfumes but it’s great in its own. Last for ever and all night. You will wake up with it if spray it on your pjs before bed. You will smell it in extreme heat, you will smell it in the cold. It just lingers all day long. When I say I want a long lasting body spray 🗣️THIS IS WHAT I WANNA SEE *death drop*

Yes, it smells like Erba Pura, but it also smells like rubbing alcohol? I dunno, maybe it’s the bergamot? Don’t get me wrong, the dry down is gorgeous and I love the note of bergamot, but that opening is like sucking on a lemon. Personally, I think the body cream is so much closer! I LOVE the body cream and I will own it as long as they make it. I will say, this lasts shockingly long for a body mist, I’m quite mystified by it, lol. All in all, definitely worth a try and if you love this dna, go ahead and get the body cream and shower gel too. The three of them together really take it to the next level.

Oh xerjoff is either paying people to write bad reviews or some of yall got bad batches because this is hands down my favourite in the everyday luxury line, alongside guilty as fig. This is so easily wearable and beautifully blended, I don’t find it cloying or overpowering at all. I got compliments from 3 different coworkers today, even though we work in a heavily fragranced room. My manager even told me this was the best I’ve ever smelt. Sweet, fruity, juicy, musky, cologne-y expensive smelling goodness

I know there’s no sort of woody notes listed. But this comes off very woody on me! Unisex scent. Talked to a B&BW associate and she agreed that some of her team members also agreed with my statement. Definitely will use this in cooler weather. Edit:8/21/25 okay, this has changed on my body chemistry. Turned very musky. Went from unsure to a love. First spraying the MIST in store, it just came off woody. Had me so confused but I have the mini perfume and after wearing it for a few days, it’s musky.

I have no idea nor care what its duping nor personally know of anything similar. I just only know that I love it. I have a small travel size perfume spray. The perfume is perfect when I want something clean, and musky. I bought it to hopefully replace the BBW discontinued Aqua Hour which is a big favorite of mine, and it is not the same as I had hoped, but still very good in its own way. It is very strong so not much is needed, and lasts a long time too!!

Fyi this is supposed to be inspired by Erba Pura and I say that with 100% confidence, smells soooooo good and can’t wait for next summer to wear it. Shame they released it heading into fall, bought the lotion and shower gel to supplement the real deal when I wear it, the body spray and Parfum were nice but the performance couldn’t hold a candle to the real deal so I’d personally skip those if you have Erba Pura or a decent dupe parfum already

This is probably the strongest body mist I’ve ever owned! It literally lasts for 12 hours on my clothes and skin. The bergamot here is really bright and strong but in the deep dry down the amber and musk really come through and shine! It’s almost like a molecular fragrance, like ambroxan must be in here or something! BBW nailed this!!! Love it so much.

This is one of the best smelling and performing cologne they have put out! As a man I feel like it's unisex enough for me to buy a handful of the travel sprays 😆. I hope they drop a full size bottle. To me most of there colognes are like room sprays. I use a lot for the car this is the first one I use as intended as a cologne great stuff 👍

Sooo sexy on both genders. The scent leans more masculine but I didn't mind. I honestly think it can be worn anywhere anytime but especially winter nights. The mini perfume spray (which I got) is very long-lasting and strong. Don't buy it if you're more of a Gingham Gorgeous or Butterfly girl. 8.75/10

This used to be my signature scent and I’m so sad it was discontinued :( if you get your hands on it though, I would recommend it for lovers of strong, resinous scents. If you’re prone to headaches or can’t wear strong fragrances for work, I would pass on this.

God, it's my new obsession. This literally smells like a high end perfume, it's so tasty and sexy on the skin that I can't get enough. Usually I go for sweeter scent, but the musk in this one is HEAVENLY and I simply can't get enough. Literally smells DIVINE.

Strong scent. I recognized the scent from the many people who have over sprayed and walked around in a cloud, choking our people in their wake. Needs to be mixed with a sweet scent to take it into the feminine range.

Wow this is a 10/10, need to stock up. My new favourite soap. Takes me back to Capri, mediterranean but also musky. Beautiful and slightly male leaning

Last for hours! Even after wash my clothes the fragrance is still on them. A pretty good dupe for Erba Pura Xerjoff

I tried this in store and thought, wow, this is lovely. Definitely not Light Blue as some had assumed before it came out. About an hour later I sniffed my arm and was shocked to smell Juliette has a Gun Not a Perfume (maybe even the superdose version). Yes. That is what the dry down smells like on me. I have JHAG and this dry down is 100% that. I don't think I'll purchase this mist as I don't need the dupe, but may go back and get the lotion.

Holy shot is this stuff STRONG. But I love it because it’s basically JHAG Not a Perfume, just slightly sharper.

This is probably the strongest smelling and longest lasting BBW mist that I own. I wore the mist one day, and it was just too much for me, and I like strong scents. I have the body wash, and even that leaves a strong scent on me that lasts most of the day, which is unheard of from a body wash. I don't have the lotion, so I can't speak on that, but I'd expect similar strength and longevity. This stuff is beast mode. They'll smell you across a room.
