Snowflakes & Cashmere

Snowflakes and Cashmere is one of my most favourite scents from bath and body works. It means a lot to me. The first time I smelled it really touched my soul. It brings back nostalgia and happiness for me. To be fair it’s a scent that makes me want to cry out of happiness. As a child I was raised by my grandparents. And my grandmother had this amazing smelling perfume that she’d apply every night before bed, I don’t recall the name or brand at all, I’ve been trying to find it all this time. :( But me being a child I asked for some to be sprayed on myself every night. The smell was heavenly. I remember smiling and thinking that’s how it must feel to be a lady. And thus it became a part of our night routine, we wore the perfume every night before bed until the bottle was all dry. All until there was not one single drop left. I recall telling her to go buy another bottle since there was none left and I suppose that didn’t happen and she threw away the empty bottle. My grandma isn’t here anymore with us, but that scent still lingers in my mind and makes me want to cry. I would do anything to have it again, now it’s become a symbol of nostalgia of me & my grandmother and a beautiful memory from my childhood. The smell is so distinct I could never forget it so when I smelled this in the bath and body works store I nearly cried. I know for a fact this isn’t the exact perfume but it’s basically the same exact scent! I never bought a spray so fast and believe me I stocked up cause I have like 2 bottles and the body lotion of snowflakes and cashmere. I truly do hope bath and body works never discontinues this in the future cause personally I’ll be devastated, it means so much to me and hits really deep in my heart. 🫶🏼🤍

It has notes of vanilla cashmere cream, caramel woods and frosted clementine. First impression upon sniffing it was "milk candy". it smells like a creamy sweet milk candy. This is quite a unique scent, i can't put my words into what exactly it smells like. It's just a very soft scent, very well blended and the true definition of sweet and creamy. I do get the vanilla cashmere cream right from the moment the scent settles into my skin. The vanilla is creamy ( almost milk candy like) here and along with that cashmere note it gives a sophisticated silky warm touch to it. Combined with caramel woods gives this scent a sweet woody vanilla dry down. It's almost like a creamy vanilla batter topped with caramel drizzle. I don't notice any burst of frosted clementine or citrusy note here and even if it is present here then it adds onto enhancing the sweetness of this fragrance. I don't personally like cashmere notes in my fragrance cause idk it smells very old lady's sweater like to me , but somehow the vanilla note here saves the cashmere note from smelling too mature. It still has a warm sweater like vibe about it but that sweater smells creamy caramel like if that makes any sense 😅 Coming onto the projection of this, it is noticeable with this mist, it does create a scent bubble around you. Longevity is quite good on my skin, sticks up to 6 hours and then it becomes a lingering sweet skin scent. Even though it is targeted as a winter fragrance but i feel like you can easily wear this in spring or fall season too. It's appropriate for cuddling time or can be used as a bed time scent. It is an extremely soft & cozy scent that makes you smell innocent and huggable to the person who is smelling this on you.

Pretty, softly sweet, warm, woody, Ambery, creamy, musky, cozy, comforting Such a pretty and incredibly cozy scent! I really pick up on sweet vanilla, the golden warmth of the amber, the cozy caramely woodsy scent, some soft and comforting cashmere, and a bit of powdery musk. This is such a nice sweet scent, but in a soft and delicate way that’s not at all cloying. This is like being wrapped up in your softest and most comfortable blanket, and being all warm and super cozy while reading your favorite book. It’s such a pleasant scent that’s perfect for any age, works for day and night, and it’s a super easy reach. I think that it really shines during the cold of fall and winter, the warmth and coziness of it makes it just right. I do own it in the mist, lotion, and shower gel, but I use the lotion and shower gel the most. It pairs really nicely with a lot of the fall and winter vanilla perfumes in my collection. For reference, some of my favorite vanillas include Gold Sugar, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Nest Golden Nectar, Nest Vanilla Bourbon, Replica Afternoon Delight, Burberry Goddess Intense, Phlur Vanilla Skin, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Vanilla Romance I get very good performance with Snowflakes & Cashmere, especially when I use the lotion and shower gel with the mist. The longevity is really nice, especially for a body mist... it lasts the majority of the day on me. The projection is decent too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

So, I have been collecting fragrances since April this year, and I’ve been able to accumulate 100 full bottles, more or less, within that time frame. I’ve invested in some expensive designer and—even more expensive—niche fragrances. I’ve paid an arm and a leg for a couple of unicorns... ...But I’ve received my first ever compliment for...this. I got it on sale for about $5.95...I need to re-evaluate my collection and spending habits lol. It just goes to show: never underestimate Bath and Body Works, Victoria Secret and other affordable body sprays. If you want compliments, they are the most mass-appealing. This is a light and cozy vanilla. It took a bit from the Warm Vanilla Sugar DNA, and I also smell a drizzle of caramel in there, even though it’s not in the notes. It’s three drops of sweetness away from being cloying, but there is restraint. The effect is exactly like what the name describes: It feels like you’re looking through the window of your house or cottage, watching snow gently falling from the sky, and you’re snuggling up to a warm cashmere blanket in your bed or couch.

I found my love for the Snowflakes and Cashmere scent through the body wash. I've since tried the lotion and spay as well. The body wash is still my favorite because it brings out the citrus and really warms up the caramely scent from the amber in the hot water. The body wash's scent also lingers on skin for hours. The body spray is nice for layering or bedtime. I like to spay while getting ready for bed because of how cozy it smells. It opens with cashmere and there's something caramely yet citrus with a woody backing. It's somehow both fuzzy and creamy textured. I can't say I smell the tea note but it's probably balancing the other rich notes to keep it from being overwhelming. There's vanilla as well but it's not overly vanilla. The other notes keep it much more interesting than a plain vanilla scent. This spray lasts an hour or two unlike most body sprays. I also like layering this with perfumes that are all fruit/florals/citrus/etc. that lack any warm or gourmand notes. Layering this can round them out and dial down sharp or screechy notes.
