Pure Wonder

Very Beautiful, floral, softly sweet, fresh, effortlessly feminine, radiant, elegant, sparkling, airy, clean, bubbly, bright, charming, whimsical Oh my this is ever so beautiful! Iced rosé buried in soft, white, twinkling snow. A sparkling winter wonderland with fresh, sweet jasmine and white amber. It’s so delicately sweet, fresh, floral, bubbly, clean, and feminine. I think there might be just a touch of raspberry too. Overall, I think it’s a wonderful fragrance! I think this is a rather unique scent, especially for something from B&BW. I feel like the scented lotion (or the mist, if you prefer) pairs very nicely with a lot of different fragrances. It’s just such a soft and beautiful scent. It has a very fresh, clean, and even icy feel to it. It does feel very wintery to me, like jasmine and rosè scented snow. However, it’s such a soft, subtly sweet, and versatile scent that I think it works well throughout the whole year. I get good performance with Pure Wonder, especially when I use the fragrance with the body care. The longevity is decent, it lasts at least 6-7 hours on me. The projection is between intimate and moderate, it projects within an arm’s length.

Pure Wonder is one of the best fragrances BBW has released in several years IMO. It is soft and feminine, and I can see it being worn in all seasons and as a signature scent for someone. The smell is very pretty and clean whilst at the same time being slightly floral and sweet. The jasmine really shines in this, as the blend between the jasmine and the iced rosé are beautiful together. If you are familiar with BBW scents, this one seems as if Champagne Toast and In the Stars had a love child. This fragrance is not necessarily new and unique but it is beautiful and feminine, and smells like a sexy grown woman. It is also not child like and it is not super mature smelling, I could still see anyone of any age wearing this scent and it seems very versatile as far as occasions to wear. It also reminds me of A Thousand Wishes by BBW. I can see how others think that this smells like Alien because the jasmine notes in here are in a similar composition as the jasmine notes in Alien, however, it's certainly not a dupe. I would say it's more like a third cousin of Alien. I am surprised this scent is not more popular.

Oh, B&BW knew what they were doing when they marked the price up for this one -- it's JUST THAT GOOD, you're going to begrudgingly buy it. Addictive, feminine, overall just super pretty. Get your cashmere sweater and dainty jewelry out! It's not really a gourmand, but my mind still jumps to "juicy gumdrop" whenever it comes near. A slight fruity (nectarine? tangerine?) laundry quality. I would consider this one a safe buy personally and could see myself wearing this 24/7 regardless of season or situation. Women of all ages could appreciate it. It's like a hug from mom, a romantic date, and a cozy Sunday at home all in one. It feels trendy and youthful but also timeless and well rounded. However - Mugler Alien is one of my favorite perfumes and this ain't it, Pure Wonder isn't daring at all and is very clean/cool/light. Even by B&BW standards, the jasmine in Twinkling Nights or amber in Sensual Amber are darker/smuttier/more "mature" than Pure Wonder.

This is my ultimate favorite BBW scent. Prior to this, my top one was A Thousand Wishes. But now this holds the top spot because I am so addicted to its scent. This is fresh clean scent with perfectly blended florals. I ordered several backup in the recent SAS sale because I know I will forever love this. This is perfect especially after shower because you smell squeaky clean. I also use the soap version of this. Btw, I noticed the soap bar really lasts a long time. I then layer this with the body cream. For me this fragrance is so good that it’s the only one that has a visible dent amongst all of my many collection. The scent alone makes me feel so good, warm, cozy and happy. This is the kind of scent that will make you want to hug yourself and feel all snuggly wuggly!

I LOVE THIS - if you like the mist the perfume is a must. I typically hate rose and prefer sweet heavy vanillic warm scents. But this is a bubbly feminine subtle rose with a lovey icy quality. it does not remind me of any if the similar frags instead I think its 50% unique and 50% reminiscent of a general high end classy floral fragrance. for the first minute or so it smells very "old lady" but after this transforms into a sophisticated icy Champagne rose with a subtle sweetness. the jasmine and amber are there but they are very much in the background and they ground the fragrance beautifully. Lasts around 3 hours on my skin with great silage and then becomes a softer skin scent for a further 3 hours. on clothes its a bit stronger I would say.

The jasmine in this is impeccable. You get a fruitiness in the opening, but the jasmine is so sweet and compliments it perfectly. The notes are wrong here: the top notes are not rose & ice, it's iced rosé, as in the wine, and that's where the bubbly fruitiness comes from. It's similar to champagne. If you're like me, you didn't enjoy this scent at first, but when I was gifted it for Christmas, I started enjoying it immensely. Good for every season and occasion. Very feminine and sweet.

This is for the body mist. The Iced Rose, Jasmine and Amber are simply wonderful together. The fragrance is on the light side but on our bodies last all day (everyone's body chemistry is different). Light and fresh but we (my husband and me) get lots of compliment's. Yes I have no problem with anyone wearing this as myself and husband have a wonderful rose garden every year and we both enjoy the smell of rose's. If you like light scent's then this is a must have.

This reminds me quite a bit of Mugler Alien Goddess Intense and I 💜 it!!! The body spray was $5.95 and I had 2 coupons for free lotion so I’m super proud of myself right now, LOL!! It lasts a bit longer than the usual B&BW spray and is definitely worth the $6 I spent.

A youthful and delicious way to do Jasmine and Rose! Normally a lot of whit florals smells a little too mature to me, but this is a beautiful take on it! It layers fantastic with jasmine and rose scents like Flowerbomb, Good Fortune and Good Girl Gone Bad!

Tested out the fragrance mist and I swear it smells exactly the same as Sarah Jessica Parker's Stash Unspoken. I don't think it's a coincidence that they have the same color palette and aesthetic with the packaging, too.

So refreshing in a floral way. My husband like this on me. Suitable for day and night. I'm a fan of amber, so I like it so much..

This is way better than I expected. So delicious. I kept wondering what smelled so good then I realised it was me.

i will be buried with a bottle of this

Full disclosure, I don’t normally care for Bath and Body Works perfumes and this is currently the only one I own. I bought this because my experience with the moisturizing body wash was absolutely heavenly. There is a woodsy note in the perfume that does not shine in the body wash making the perfume a bit of a darker scent then I expected. I find that the perfume is brighter and closer to the body wash when sprayed on clothing instead of skin. Overall it’s a nice fall winter sparkling fruit wine sort of scent balanced with a bit of an amber-ish woodsy note. I don’t smell any rose. Overall it’s quite nice for a winter everyday scent, especially for the price. If you own several more expensive perfumes I would recommend buying the small body spray which is about a third of the full body spray size and sells for about $6USD or so. It’s nice to have around but not so ground breaking that you need to spend anything more. I also recommend the body wash... honestly I recommend the body wash more highly than the perfume or body spray.

Looking at the scent notes, Pure Wonder honestly doesn't sound all that exciting... but somehow it smells SO much more luxurious. There's something about the way the amber and white florals come together that makes it smell incredibly elegant and expensive. Even though it's definitely floral, it never comes across as heavy or old-fashioned. I actually get a subtle fruity sweetness in the background that keeps everything feeling bright, soft, and feminine. It's one of those fragrances that's clean, classy, and effortlessly beautiful. It's perfect for everyday wear, but it also feels elegant enough for formal events or special occasions. Somehow it manages to be both polished and easy to wear at the same time. Def deserves to stay in BBW's permanent lineup!!

Going by the BL I really like this.. I can see the comparison slightly to alien (the jasmine woody combo) only PW is loads lighter..idk if the perfume is stronger. I also get a fresher quality from PW & mildly sweet in the dry down. I like this also because I don’t find it offensive at all and has just enough scent to let you know it’s there. Nice for cooler weather fall to spring anytime scent, also slightly reminds me of an earlier release of theirs “In the stars” which I also liked..but also find PW to be even more delicate then that, think this also is a scent that could layer well with a lot of floral woody scents, I’ve tried it with Gucci guilty so far..& beautiful! 😌👌🏼

This is a great layering piece since it vibes with Alien and DG's The Only One Intense due to the strong jasmine scent. It's not an exact dupe but reminiscent and similar. I don't get Valentino Donna Born in Roma at all, as VDBR is more of a woodsy, vanilla scent. Price is great, especially if you pick this up during one of BBW's many promotions. Sillage and longevity are moderate. I have the shimmer spray and while it's not as strong as the EDP version, it still lasts for an 8 hour work day. Around hour 4-5 it becomes a skin scent. I layered The Only One Intense with the shimmer spray and the combo was on point.

I keep trying to like this scent, but I must admit that it doesn't do anything for me. Is it unpleasant? No. It's a sweet, juicy (but not fruity) clean floral, very light and a bit bubbly. I think my scents need to have some element of fruit, vanilla, or woods in them. I can see this being agreeable for the person who doesn't like a strong fragrance. I have both the lotion and the body mist and the packaging is very beautiful with the etched pattern and rose gold motif. I will be selling or passing this along as my collection is too big to keep things that I have to try to convince myself to use/like.

This is a light and non-offensive offering from BBW. I don't understand the above comparisons either. On me, it's an icy rose with very slight amber nuances; it smells "snowy" if that makes sense. To me, it's nothing like Alien or Born in Roma; I own both and this smells nothing like either one. With all that being said, it's not bad. I almost get a Love's Baby Soft vibe from it, but this is more "icy". I think Pure Wonder is a good chillaxing scent but that's about it. It's soft on sillage and moderate on longevity.

Yesterday, on Resurrection Sunday, I went through my B&BW fragrance mists--I have close to 50 of them in my collection. I chose to wear Pure Wonder. It was my first time wearing this mist. I enjoyed it--to me it encapsulated the mood of Easter. It was feminine, easy-going, and uplifting. I wore it around the house--cooking, cleaning, and hanging with my dogs. To my nose, the rose and amber notes are most prevalent. Very appropriate fragrance mist to wear to church--it has that 'spiritual' vibe.

For B&BW this is a great fragrance. I originally purchased the Fairytale - but it did not work for me it had a weird woody vibe. I exchanged it for Pure Wonder since I already had the shower gel and lotion this completed the set. For an inexpensive perfume it is very good. A fresh amber fragrance that is great for everyday wear.

surprisingly pleasant and nice. doesn't smell how i thought it would, it has a vague similarity to a thousand wishes in my opinion. from the bottle seems unpleasant but once sprayed is lovely. i'm not sure how to describe it. I gave it a try after hearing positive reviews and i'm glad i did

This was a blind buy for me, but reading the notes, I could tell it was going to smell like an Alien (Thierry Mugler) flanker, and I was absolutely right. This is a lighter version of the same scent, so I would definitely pair them together.

I love this perfume! It's an amber, floral scent. It smells similar to Wild Rose by Coach, but this one is for the winter because of that ice note added. I get many compliments on this. Its long lasting with a moderate sillage.

Nice floral scent with a powdery dry down. I think this is going to be best in the Spring/Summer and during the day. I think you can wear it in an office setting without offending anyone.

This is actually fruity and nice, if a tad synthetic (I am using the lotion). However, the Bath & Body Works site lists the first note as "iced rosé" ... as in wine. NOT ice and roses.

I personally couldn't pick up any scent. If anything, maybe a very very very very light sparkling, roses, amber. Very light scent imo

Smelled like champagne gummy, like someone said. Nothing jasmine or rosy. amber is a maybe. Nice enough for a like.

This smells really similar to born in roma by valentino. It really smells good and possibly may be a dupe for it.

This is a night time/ bedtime fragrance for me. It’s very light and not over powering.

Similar to Juicy Couture Soiree. They are cousins

Perfect clean girl / office friendly scent.

I like this. It's a sweet, fizzy/powdery/spicy but very light grape-y jasmine. I've read and heard people say that jasmine can sometimes come off smelling like grape juice. This edp has one of those jasmines. In my experience, it stays for around 7 hours on skin and clothes, but within 30 minutes it becomes a skin scent rather than a projecting one. Best for staying cozy at home, even for going to bed since the jasmine in here is really light. Edit: The dry down of this is soooo good. Basically, the same scent but softened and a little creamy, it smells innocent to a point that is actually attractive. My husband who is usually not easily impressed by fragrances commented that this smells really good (after it's been on my shirt the entire day).

This smells like the inside of a Michael's/Hobby lobby to me. Like old off brand candles mixed with synthetic floral decorations and hot glue. The bottle I got was an already-used "gift" from my ex's mom who was a evangelical zealot. The fact that even she did not want it speaks a lot about this perfume.

Meh. I love the fragrance in the lotion form the most. The perfume smells different and not as good. For what it is and the quality, the price should be lower.

I've read reviews that compare this to Alien, but I couldn't disagree enough. I don't smell it whatsoever. This is a really, really sweet white floral, but it doesn't actually resemble true jasmine much at all. I was actually pretty hopeful that there might be a nice jasmine release from B&BW, but I find this very disappointing. The closest thing I can recall from B&BW to this is Pink Cashmere, which is also very sweet, a neo-amber. This has a cushy quality to it, but I find it too sugared to enjoy as a floral, and it's oddly heavy. I try to refrain from saying this about B&BW or VS fragrances, because of the price point (and it's unreasonable to expect relatively high quality) but this does actually smell "cheap" to me. I'm really sorry to report this, but I find this mildly unpleasant actually. It actually took me off guard. (Cross posted to other listing.)

If this is what they are calling an amber floral now a days then we are in big trouble. What I am wearing today, Jean Patou's Chaldee, now that is amber floral. Now I understand this is a budget line but back in the 90's and early 2000's you could buy a great amber floral on a budget at a store like this but not in 2021. This is a fruity, fresh, fake floral shower gel scent. Nothing Pure Wonder about it, it is purely predictable and fake smelling.

So disappointed. It smells nothing like I imagine based off the notes. I pick up a Peach note in the opening and I HATE Peach in perfume. So it’s going back for sure.

It's...I can't identify it. Received it as a gift, probably won't repurchase but it's OK.

This is a really lovely scent IMO! I don't usually love most of BBW's scents, but Pure Wonder is a really lovely, light, feminine scent. Sort of reminds me of BBW's Lovely Dreamer perfume from a few years ago. The rose/aquatic notes listed in it's Fragrantica description seem "off" to me though. It's a sweet-floral-musk but not too much floral at all, and doesn't seem at all aquatic to me either...which is a plus to me. I bought a purse size spray of this one immediately after smelling this one on my wrist....I will update if I get any other impressions wearing this one! Not really identifying anything that this one "smells like" right off hand...But a nice new scent I would recommend trying! I would say this one is also a safe gifting/generally crowd pleasing/ scent as well... Update: I do agree with others that this perfume is similar to Valentino's Born in Roma. I will have to sample each scent on my wrists and compare. It definitely smells more expensive and unique than the run of the mill BBW scents!

I agree with a few other reviewers, that my first impression of this is strawberry, even though there are no strawberry notes. And I LOVE it - because this is what I, personally, would like a strawberry perfume to smell like. I recently purchased BBW Strawberry Pound Cake and I LOVE it -- but I want to bring out more of the strawberry since the "pound cake" is the more prominent effect. But everything I've tried so far in the way of strawberry scents is way too sharp to blend in with this. My Burberry Her did blend nicely, but I found that it added creaminess instead of bringing out the fruit. Not that that's bad, it's not just what I was going for. I feel like the sweet "strawberry/rose" note in Pure Wonder is really what I was looking for. I wore them both last night and loved the effect. Now I have a full bottle of this on the way!

For the life of me, I do not understand comparisons to Alien. Or Born in Roma for that matter. Pure Wonder to me its a VERY light, sort of icy lightly sweetened rosy floral and I don't really smell amber AT ALL. Their hand cream has good projection because I had several coworkers smell it from few feet away but body spray which I also have is another story, its barely there. I think this is a good layering scent, especially their body care products. I have layered it with Miss Dior aka Miss Dior Cheri circa 2017 and I have never gotten more compliments from anyone as when I wore this combo.

I own the body spray and I love this scent. It is so classy and feminine in my opinion. It has beautiful floral notes on an amber base which makes it unique. A warm floral is what I describe it. Some powdery notes at the base which makes it smell like high end face creams. Beautiful scent and underrated in my opinion as it has a great performance (stays more than 5-6 hours on my clothes) , unique and beautiful bottle design.

Smelled like peonies to me. Although its got rose, not peonies. I think its the way the ice note has been blended into it to lend it a soft sweet smell. Also it doesn’t smell cheap to my nose probably because of the amber, so smell it before you dismiss it if you’re interested in it. Also I’d like to add that I think this is better for summer than the colder months. It has that Bright Crystal vibe.

My oldest daughter and granddaughter are very sensitive to most fragrances but they both love Pure Wonder. It’s not bold, not strong nor is it cloying. It sits close to the skin and it just smells so feminine, so pretty. This is also one of my favorite scents from BBW. I don’t normally have backup of any FFM or perfumes, but with Pure Wonder I have backups on the FFM, Body Cream & shower gel.

No no, it doesn’t smell like Born In Roma at all. It doesn’t have that rounded citrus kick. It smells very bubbly in the beginning but I get Alien in my skin in mid to dry down. Try the dry down, it smells 70% like Alien, not even kidding. I own both, and BIR’s my signature scent in summer. Not even close at least in my skin.

Beautiful classy scent. It’s a clean fresh floral that’s a bit sparkly due to the iced rosé. Sweet but not over bearing and has a warmth to it. I’ve heard this a dupe for Michael Kors Wonderlust so I’m sure they would pair great with one another.

This is one of my favourite bbw scents. Although there are no strawberry notes, it makes me feel like I’m in a dreamy fresh and powdery strawberry field. Very feminine and clean, it even comes in a glitter spray and sparkling body butter.

Pure champagne gummies. You ever had those rosé or prosecco gummy bears? Smells precisely like cracking open a bag. Sugary sweet, and the right amount of cozy florals.

Super, super light, summery and more crowd-pleasing version of Alien. I would stick to Alien, personally, but this may be alright to layer under.
