Sweet Pea

I am not particularly a fan of BBW - too many fruity-sweety and/or cupcake dessert teenager scents. This, however, I may be in love with. First of all, my grandmother had the body spray of this in her medicine cabinet when I was little, though as far as I know, never used it. I used to secretly spray it on myself after a bath when I'd spend the night at my grandparents', though since I sprayed it generously, I doubt it was as much of a secret as I hoped. Once she ran out, I forgot all about it until recently. I stopped into a BBW for some soap (their kitchen lemon is pretty nice), and, seeing the bottle, decided to spray some on, for old time's sake. I walked out with both the EDP and the shimmer body spray. To me, this smells like a curly headed little blonde girl around five years old, who gets out of the bathtub one fine spring morning to be snuggled into a big, fluffy towel by her mom. Mom puts a yellow seersucker dress on her and a bow in her hair, and they go out for a walk in the park with their happy-go-lucky golden retriever under the trees in the warming sunshine. Everything is beautiful, and all is right with the world. This scent is so innocent, so sweet and springy and fresh, but not cloying or overly fruity, and there is not a hint of dessert to he found. As far as notes go, I get a lot of raspberry, freesia, and yes, sweet pea. One of my favorite things to do with this is to layer it with Elizabeth Arden Green Tea when I first get out of the shower on a summer night. Nice for a date night outside in the warm night air, or simply for going to bed and dreaming sweet, innocent dreams. If anyone has these two scents, I strongly recommend trying them layered. It is absolutely lovely, layered or by itself. 7/10

I'm usually not a big fan of sweet perfumes (sometimes they smell too cloying on my skin) but somehow Sweet Pea works really well with my body chemistry. I kept passing by it at the BBW store since I usually aim for green/fresh perfumes however one day I decided to give it a chance. And I find myself going back to it :) It is sweet yes but not gourmand nor tarty....it has just a right amount of floral freshness to make it wearable. Sillage and longevity is pretty good for a BBW scent! Lasts about 4 hours on my skin. (Since BBW's body care line is pretty cheap, I bought the whole Sweet Pea set including shower gel/body mist/lotion...so that I can layer them and make the scent lasts longer). This is one of my favorite BBW scents so far I think..as it doesnt dissapear quickly nor smell 'thin'. Very cheerful, pretty, young fragrance...great for sexy summer nights when its cooler :) as it might be too sweet for hot days...p.s. I find that boys like these kinda scents :p

The bottle attracted me at first. The perfume itself smelled amazingly on the tester paper(reminded me of flower scents I smelled at night when Id take a stroll at my Greek country town by the sea). It lasted on the paper for 5 days till I threw it away! On my skin smells great but differently. It lasts for at least 5 hours. I do smell the dry down of it right away though, but its pleasant. The body mist smells like the watered down version of the perfume and it doesn't represent it well. This is a scent I def don't have in my collection. Paris Amour=smelled like sweet baby food to me. Velvet Sugar=smells like a candle, yuck - interesting dry down tho and Forever Red is boring and repetitive to me(smelled it on my waitress for the first time). Sweet pea is the winner!

I think Sweet Pea is an awesome fragrance, but as a guy, I could never get away with wearing it to work, etc., because it's so unique, and every other woman is familiar with it. So somebody would say, "Aren't you wearing Sweet Pea from Bath & Body Works?", and I would have to admit it! But still, take away the pink packaging and remove the word "sweet" from the name, and it's a wonderful, vegetal scent that smells exactly like green peas and sugar. Too bad it wasn't marketed as unisex: maybe in a dark green bottle, and with a different name.... such as "Eau de Vegetal" or something similar. Yes, it's very sugary, but so are many men's fragrances.

The classic scent of Sweet Pea never ceases to tire my nose. I'm not one for florals, but this one always captivates me. Maybe it is the sweet memory of my 16th birthday when I first received it, or maybe it's because my mother and I always had it in stock within our collection. The scent is a memory, a reminder of growing up, growing from a young woman to a lady. The clean, rounded scent is music to my nose. I don't sense any fruity notes in it, but can sense traces of musk. Overall though, just sweet, beautiful sweet peas! I'd recommend to those who usually don't go for florals, but want to give them a try.

I am a lover of all things BBW but this scent is one of those that I really love! I had the body mist so they do smell the same except the EDT is a little stronger on the nose. I love the raspberry and freesia note in this scent. I can detect a little bit of pear which is nice as well. This scent is very playful and sweet. I don't have the body mist anymore because I overused it, haha. I will repurchase in the future, maybe even decide to purchase the EDT instead of the body mist. I can't say what the longevity is for the EDT but the body mist didn't have much. Maybe an hour or two for me.

Sweet pea really works with my skin chemistry!! Every time I wear sweet pea I get SOOO many compliments and surprisingly everyone asks what I'm wearing. It smells just like gummy bears on me! My skin really doesn't really pick up the Floral scents like it does the fruit but I LOVE it!! I tried sweet pea lotion in the sixth grade and I am almost 25 and always go back to it!!!

This is one of the most 'simple' of all of B&BW's scents but it's one of my favorites.Just girly and soft-completely unoffensive.It just smells very clean to me and is a nice break from so many of the more complicated scents out there-I'd wear this over most of their new stuff any day.It's pretty much a single note scent on me but sometimes less is better:)

All I can really smell is, well, sweet pea. No complaints here. It's adorable and beautiful. Lifts my mood and takes me to the inside of the wings of a pink bird I call "God." I feel safe and happy and beautiful wearing this. Not complex at all, but I don't personally care. This soothes me. Perfect for Spring.

My first ever body mist back in elementary school, absolutely love it for the nostalgic values, less so for the actual fragrance which I felt has changed formulas over the years; it used to be sharper and sneeze-inducing, now it has been reduced down to its bubblegummy version

I really like Sweet Pea. A little student of mine wore the lotion and made my classroom smell so lovely. The bubble bath is WONDERFUL. I enjoy Sweet Pea, and it's not the typical kind of fragrance I'd like. Try it...it may surprise you.

This is a sweet scent perfect for all ages. I wore it as a teenager and still wear it into my 20's. It's light, not overbearing, and delicately floral.

My signature scent from BBW. This mixes well with Pink Chiffon or with Black Raspberry Vanilla body lotion or body cream. A Sweet and happy scent.

One of the only, if not THE only B&BW scents I like. I use the body lotion which smells like some kind of berries. Nice for the summer.

I am 58 years old and love this scent. Really fell for it when smelling it on one of my precious little 3rd grade students ❤️

Very sweet. Smells like a strawberry lollipop. So damn good..... It's one off those scents that you wish was actual food.

great go-to summer scent. Just watch for bees:) lol I will always love sweet pea

This is a very happy scent. A whiff of it gives you contentment. Love it.

This is such a nostalgic scent, I'll never not love it for that <3 To me, this is a clean sort of sweet. The sweet pea, freesia and peony all create a rather soapy accord and it keeps this from being *just* sweet. I keep saying this, but I'm a sucker for raspberry. Something about that ketone scent just sets raspberry apart from other fruits. It's a indescribable tartness. The raspberry in here is sweeter and more ripe, but it still adds to offset things a bit. Overall, this is incredibly youthful while not necessarily being juvenile (debatable I suppose, but I feel comfortable in it in my 30s). I enjoy the body care, and it's easy to share with my daughters. *update* I've destashed this because I'm planning on giving my bottle of spray and lotion to my younger sister. She always had this growing up (I had Cucumber Melon and Black Raspberry Vanilla), and I think it would be a hoot to give it to her for her upcoming birthday! <3<3 **update of an update** Was gifted a bottle of this and now have it again. Funny how the universe works.

Once upon a time, way back when this fragrance was relatively new, I used to really love it. It's pretty, flirty, and sweet, and there seems to be a current of violets in there--and I do enjoy the scent of violets. I kept the body spray in the refrigerator for an extra cooling spritz, and I used it often. As the years went by, a lovely family member gifted me with the edt, at least 2 bottles of the body spray, and a wallflower. And...I burned out on Sweet Pea. I now found it less refreshing and more cloying, as if Kool-Ade had created a floral version of their drink. I will always treasure my bottle of edt, as a reminder of the wonderful friend who gave it to me, and of a particular time in my life. I hope to use up more of the body spray, but I doubt that I will repurchase. I would recommend it to others, because it is pink and frilly and fun. But I would also caution them to use it sparingly, because sometimes too much of a good thing is just too much.
