Meet Me In Miami

Notes listed on the bottle: Breezy palm trees, cabana coladas, suntan days I’m so thrilled that I finally got my hands on this one as I had missed out on the original launch. Yesterday I picked up the mist and body cream during their $5.95 sale, and I’m still so excited about it! This is the perfect beachy/coconut bronzed sun tan lotion scent! I also get the piña colada scent softly intertwined, and just a delicate touch of breezy palm trees that adds a subtle freshness. It definitely gives this gorgeous luxe sun tan lotion/monoi oil vibe which I really love! The notes and packaging certainly give the perfect vibe for this! Definitely one of my favorite beachy scents from B&BW! For me, it’s quite reminiscent of scents like BBW Coco Paradise, Oahu Coconut Sunset, Honolulu Sun, Bali Black Coconut Sands, Copper Coconut Sands, Honolulu Sun, At the Beach, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Phlur Beach Skin, Ellis Brooklyn Sand, VS Bombshell Bronze. I would never consider it a dupe of any of the fragrances that I mentioned, but definitely similar, and having the same vibe. I think it’s most similar to Coco Paradise, although that’s more monoi oil centered. Even though I do get a monoi oil scent here, this one has the addition of cabana coladas which gives the impression of creamy coconut with some tropical pineapple. They really launched some excellent scents this summer at BBW, like more than usual imo! I also picked up Cotton Candy Clouds (super thankful it’s back!), Love Unleashed (BBW version of Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy, and it’s amazing!), and Neapolitan Ice Cream in the mists and body creams! I’m also really enjoying the new Coastal Shores! I’m super excited for the SAS so I can finally get Wrapped in Vanilla (I’ve always heard really great things!), as well as more Cashmere Glow and Black Amethyst! I can only imagine what they may release for the Halloween and fall seasons later!

Notes on my bottle: breezy palm trees, cabana coladas, suntan days Beachy, sweet, coconut, tropical, fruity, ozonic, aquatic, vibrant, radiant, sunny, feminine, sensual, flirty, playful, alluring, inviting, comforting, nostalgic After having this and wearing it for a bit now, I thought I’d write a more in depth review. This is coconut banana sunscreen-y scent, with tropical drinks/piña coladas, and a breezy palm tree note that reads as slightly green and ozonic. I also get some juicy tangerine and aquatic coconut water. The packaging is extremely fitting for this fragrance. As another reviewer with the same 80s pink and blue pool with a flamingo floaty 🌊🦩packaging mentioned “it smells like the picture” and I absolutely 💯 agree with that! If you want a Sun tan lotion kind of scent, then this is your girl! I’m a huge fan of beachy/coconut fragrances, and own quite a few of them. I have a bunch of them in these FFM and other body care. This happens to be one of my faves from B&BW along with other similar ones like Coco Paradise (my fave! MMM was actually recommended to me from a fellow fragrance lover because of CP), At the Beach, Oahu Coconut Sunset, Honolulu Sun, Bali Black Coconut Sands, and Copper Coconut Sands. This is actually very reminiscent of Vacation EDP, it’s the closest scent to this that I’ve come across. MMM even has a slight plastic-y scent in the dry down, although it’s not quite as prominent as the one in Vacation. However, I do actually prefer MMM. Both are excellent for those who are looking for a sun tan lotion kind of vibe though, especially considering that Vacation EDP was originally just the scent of a sunscreen. If you’re looking for other beachy/coconut scents, some that I highly recommend are Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, Bobbi Brown Beach, Alien Goddess, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, Maldives in a Bottle, JHAG Lust For Sun, Vanilla Vibes, Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt, Sand, Phlur Beach Skin For reference, some of my favorite fragrances include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, The Wedding Silk Santal, Yum Pistachio Gelato, Kilian LDBS, Princess, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, PdM Oriana, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Summer Fridays Sunkit Vanilla, LSF Secret Crush, Vanilla Twirl, Coach Dreams Starlight, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Queen’s Caramel, Vanilla Salt, Phlur Honey Moon, Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, SDJ Summer é Amor, 62, 39, 71, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Beach Nights, Cotton Candy Clouds, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Love Unleashed, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries, Coastal Dreaming

I wrote about my whole gripe with BBW economy in my Waikiki Beach review so i won’t get into all that here, but when it’s good-it’s good and ill own my truth. BBW does beach-y scents pretty well, and this might be one of the best. I have At The Beach, Summertime Surf and now Waikiki Beach and Meet Me In Miami. This one is all Miami beach- all heat, humidity, no aquatics, no salt marine air. It’s warm sand, hot sun and a bit of coconut in the background. The use of driftwood is magnificent. Not sure what these listed notes are but there’s definitely no citrus. On the bottle it says: breezy palm trees, cabana coladas and suntanned days. Id say it’s driftwood, sand, solar notes and coconut. Im wearing it today on a cold rainy dark Monday, and keep catching wiffs and feeling warm and sunny on the inside. The quality is shockingly good for BBW standards (im so use to them watering down what once was great) its going strong for about 3 hours with decent projection. If you’re like me and have given up on BBW but still crave a cheap thrill, this one is actually worth it. Perfect for the summer or when you just want to feel like summer.

I don't get anything citrusy in this fragrance. Don't let the listed notes fool you. This is a warm, full-bodied white floral smelling like tuberose and jasmine. It is somewhat similar to the tropical vibes in Aerin Hibiscus Palm, but it is not a dupe. Many white floral fragrances are alike in this respect. This scent is close to L'Interdit, My Way or Chloe Nomad Nuit d'Egypte, but this one has that BBW coconut similar to the one in At the Beach. It is a lot more complex fragrance than At the Beach, creamy and very feminine. I get loads of compliments on this one. After Copper Coconut Sands it is my favorite summer scent from the brand.

To me and my nose, this is a summer-coconuty version of YSL Libre!! I absolutely LOVE IT and I layer it with my Libre perfume to give it a new life for spring and summer. Honestly it’s a must have, I don’t see how anyone would not like this scent. It is a super summery but also a little bit more refined than what BBW usually does for sweet summery scents.

This is so unique Smells somehow like soft ice cream/vanilla strawberry mix, yummi Suntan Miami beach days under the sun Cool music in the distance The scent is so calming and beautiful Suntan coconut flower cocktail sweetness I tried coconut water in Saigon This brings so many good feelings Backup and hording worthy Love it

Oh wow, this is the perfect unique but not too unique summer scent. I get coconut, cotton candy, and a hint of banana! A very comforting yet playful scent. I think this would be perfect for someone who is looking for a summer FFM that doesn’t smell like typical coconut, and for people who don’t like the sunscreen note!

I was born in Miami and this is every bit of fabulous. Every bit of true to its name. No fake ocean vibes. Reminiscent of a stroll through Creed/Byredo/TF perfumes at bayside as in smelling the tropics and salty sexy fragrance at once. I don't even like BBW. But I am in love with this.

Sweet, salty, fruity, sunscreen on the boardwalk. There's a certain packaging that I have for this that has an image of a neon pink and blue 80s-era Miami pool with palm trees and a flamingo floaty, and when I tried it I said "it smells like the picture".

I came here to leave a review of how much I adore this scent, but ended up being completely enraptured by the poetic reviews left by my fellow fragranticans. You are all so lovely and I'm happy to be here :D

I do not like coconutty scents. But this? It was love at first sniff. I was instantly transported to an island vacation. So beautiful!

Such a nice sweet sun tan scent that linger nicely. Very Similar to Coco Paradise mixed with something sweet and bright.

smells like a piña colada with a hint of sunscreen, i loveeee

Perfect salty coconut beachy scent!

Suntan lotion. That's the vibe I'm going for these days so this is my go-to body spray. Performs like all of their other sprays. If you really smell it you get something a little fresh underneath the coconut.

very sunscreen-y, but also very watery, almost? has a coconutty, sweet dry down which is nice! much sweeter than most b&bw tropical/non-bakery coconut scents, honestly.

It's a fresh coconut water mist it's really simple and refreshing though not really longlasting on me personally but still one of my favorite bodymists

Sweet tarts combined with sunscreen. Girly sweet nice yay

When I first tried this in the store, I really liked it. On the dry down I get a slight plastic baby doll head smell, but it is still likable and I found it to be nostalgic. It also has a slight banana note which I wished was stronger. Pretty standard sunny day at the beach type of body spray. It is a mix between a fruity tropical drink and a sunscreen scent. I know some will really like this. But after wearing this a few times, I found the pina colada note in this to smell cheep. Like there is too much ice and not enough rum. I also prefer sunscreen scents that smell like sun warmed skin, which is lacking in this body spray. After wearing this over and over the plastic note became more prominent and I could not ignore it. I did layer this with the tree hut pineapple lotion and Lattafa Perfumes Bade’e Al Oud Honor and Glory. I smelled like a fruity crème brulee served at a luxury beach resort, that was my favorite way of wearing this. This is just not a love for me. I just got bored and lost my desire to keep wearing this. There are other body sprays in this scent family that are smoother and more enjoyable. 4/10

Meet Me in Miami pulls like a fresh green coconut sunscreen fragrance on my skin - no sweetness sadly. I wore it on a very hot & humid summer day and the scent lasted about 3.5 hours until I had to re-up for the rest of the work day. I then layered it with Harajuku Lovers 'G' Wicked Style and these two worked beautifully together with the fruity 'G' adding sweetness to MMIM and the longevity of the two was approximately 5 hours. I also tried layering MMIM with Qaed Al Fursan but it disappears as the QAF developed into a very strong pineapple musk on my skin and despite overspraying, I got no hint of MMIM on the dry down. I plan to continue trying different layering options with other fruit and coconut heavy perfumes & body sprays for the rest of the summer and hope to get another great combo. Since I have other Bath & Body Works coconut scents, I'm one & done with this one.

It is definitely long-lasting—I sprayed it on a top, and the scent was still noticeable until washing. Initially, it smells nice, but it dries down to a prominent suntan lotion scent. I’ve set it aside to return or exchange the next time I visit Bath & Body Works. For me, it’s just too reminiscent of suntan lotion. However, it could make a great gift for a teenage girl, especially if her birthday is in spring or summer.

To me this is THE dolls head scent. It’s sweet and tropical but the coconut adds the powdered plastic note that makes it that memorable childhood scent.

I'm a coconut lover but this one is not it for me. I purchased by accident. After smelling a bunch of scents at BBW I fell in love with one of the scents and, thinking it was Meet me in Miami, I purchased it. I gave mine away. Way too sweet and not coconutty. I see people saying it smells of banana.....I guess?? I don't get any one note out of this, just blah. There are so many better tropical scents at BBW and elsewhere.

Not as balsamic and sugary-sweet as Coco Paradise, but it does have the same vein and I sense a watery palm green note in this which I like. It's reminiscent of Fresh Jungle Rain which smells like coconut to me at first, even if it doesn't contain any, and which also has the palm tree note too "rain-kissed palms" - well minus the obnoxious weird smelling dragonfruit of Fresh Jungle Rain. It's worth having it in your collection if you like green scents, palm trees and coconut. At first it's sugary sweet like coco paradise, but they are different, like I said coco paradise is VERY balsamic and syrupy to me and it's much heavier with the sandalwood. Both great creations and to me it's worth having both. 'Experienced noses" can detect they're different scents. I also detect a bubblegum sweetness to it like tuberose, this is the trait that elevates it for me and sets it apart, it must be some type of white flower. I like coconut paired with flowers and this is kinda better than the orchid in copper coconut sands, another favorite of mine. Then the drydown smells intensely like gardenia (esp in the lotion). The coconut is sweet and the palm note renders it a bit green as I said (like Fresh jungle rain) but this is very unique imo because it's not just a green coconut scent, it has a rich floral base. I'd say along with Copper Fields - a fav of mine- (reminiscent of Copper Coconut Sands, minus the coconut) this is my new favorite. The coconut is complementing the other notes and it's not the main focus.

I LOVE meet me in Miami, smells exactly like a virgin pina colada, I am so excited to wear this for a holiday. It’s fruity, creamy coconut, a little bit of sunscreen thrown in there, smells like a sexy beach babe. The lotion is also stunningggg I’m going to be getting a couple bottles of the lotion because I refuse to run out of this pina colada yumminess. Btw if this was a perfume I’d cry tears of joy, I’ve been searching for a real perfume that smells like this and can’t find anything that’s as nice as this. Edit: about the notes I really don’t think they’re accurate, to my nose it’s coconut crème, pineapple, and little lotus

Meet me in Miami is essentially a fruitier, day time rendition of coco paradise. The notes listed here are inaccurate & the true notes are breezy palm trees, cabana coladas & sun tanned days. So essentially we have possible air notes, greenery notes, pineapple & ccoconut notes, and suntan lotion notes. I pick up on a nice combination of them all, with pineapple being the hardest to pick up on. It smells a lot like banana, coconut candy mixed with suntan lotion. I love this scent & got a few backups because I anticipate flying through this set when the weather heats up. I imagine this scent being so refreshing for a summers day.

The opening is very tender coconut-ty, light airy florals with slightly sweetness to it. It’s super beachy which also reminds me of Waikiki beach coconut, both fragrances have some similarity. I am wearing it right now and as I started to get whiffs I’m suddenly like what!!! It has crazy resemblance with YSL LIBRE. I instantly looked up to Fragrantica to check if anyone else thinks the same, and girl “Gourmandivi” you are absolutely right here 💯 YSL Libre is airy and light already, Miami is airier and lighter version of Libre. 🌬️

They’re retiring this scent after SAS in a few weeks... stock up if you love it like I do 😕 Edit: post sas me here. I now have 5 backups mists & 2 backup lotions. This is my favorite summer scent yet.

I would say it has that perfect aquatic smell that hits the spot. I love how it actually does remind me of the tropics. It’s strong for a body spritz too. This is keeper vibes lol.

I was looking for Hawaiian tropic sunscreen smell. And I found it Banana coconut sunscreen and it’s fresh , not sticky sweet🥥🍌🌴 Can layer with any coconut perfume

Extra sweet warm summer scent. - For the price it's amazing performance. - If you like *super* sweet, it's a 10/10 - Can be considered a playful/evening scent

Smells so so so perfect BRING IT BACK PLZZZ. Someone said banana sunscreen YEP, that and pina colada. And it’s so strong I love this for summer

Idk why it says it smells like citrus at the main accords, it’s a summery coconut body mist. Smells sorta like rio radiance

Queen Helene lotion for the beach. It's an upgrade but it's still Queen Helene heavy so I dislike it.

Heavily obsessed with this one; I get banana sunscreen. It's perfection.
