Twisted Peppermint

Pretty, festive Minty, sweet, fresh, fun, cheerful, playful, wintery, balsamic, cool, creamy, bright, frosty, yummy, nostalgic Such a fun and sweet fragrance! It’s absolutely perfect for the festive holiday season, but also nice for winter! The name Twisted Peppermint is perfectly accurate considering its overall sweet candy cane scent! I do notice a soft, pretty, and creamy vanilla scent as well as just a whisper of fresh balsam too! The notes all combine together to create the perfect festive and wintertime treat! I love to pair this with vanilla fragrances. I especially love B&BW Vanilla Bean Noel, which creates a lovely sweet and creamy peppermint vanilla frosting scent. VS Bare Vanilla Frosted is another perfect scent to pair the lotion with. I also really love using the Twisted Peppermint body lotion with the original Billie Eilish. It pairs well with the vanilla, and it brings out the soft mint scent that I’ve always picked up in the Billie Eilish fragrance for some reason. It’s a surprisingly nice combination. Twisted Peppermint unfortunately isn’t something that I reach for too often. At least for me it feels best suited for the holiday season, so I don’t consider it to be very versatile. I do occasionally also wear it during the wintertime in general (usually as a lotion with a vanilla fragrance) because it gives such a pretty, frosty, and minty scent that works well with the cold weather. It’s also interesting to get that cooling/tingling sensation whenever I apply the lotion. I do get great performance with Twisted Peppermint, especially when I use the body care products along with the mist. I get really good longevity with it, it lasts the majority of the day on me before becoming just a skin scent. The projection is really nice too, it radiates out a few feet from me. As an extra note - I think this scent has a kind of calming effect which is really nice, especially since I struggle with severe anxiety. Maybe I should consider using this as an aromatherapy treatment sometimes.

Notes on bottle: cool peppermint, sugared snow, fresh balsam, vanilla buttercream Green, vanilla, sweet, aromatic, fresh spicy, powdery, fresh, cool, refreshing, feminine, flirty, playful, charming, whimsical, delightful, sparkling, cheerful, joyful, uplifting, inviting, cozy, comforting, nostalgic This is such a pretty, uplifting, inviting, comforting, nostalgic scent for winter, and especially, during the holidays! It’s such a sweet and refreshing peppermint candy cane, swirled with vanilla buttercream, and a touch of fresh balsam dusted with cool, sparkling snow. The opening is more refreshingly minty, and the dry down is a more minty vanilla buttercream sprinkled with sugar dusted balsam. Overall, it’s a lovely candy cane scent! The only thing that I have in my collection that this is even remotely similar to is VS Bare Vanilla Frosted, which is a super pretty minty vanilla that I love wear in the winter. I do love pairing the Twisted Peppermint body care with Bare Vanilla Frosted.

Finally!!! I have been waiting forever for this to be put in the database. It's soooo good! It's really one of the few BBW scents I actually like. I really hate mint, like HATE IT pretty much in anything (except toothpaste), but this scent is awesome. It reminds me of those fluffy butter mints that look like little pillows. It's sweet and creamy and vanilla-y and a tad powdery. The best mint scent ever. It does not smell herbal like actual mint (the plant). It smells like an artificially flavored mint and vanilla candy, and I can't get enough when the weather gets cold. I have this in a body spray (I don't think it comes in EDP or EDT) and I have to spray a million times because it doesn't last, but it's pretty inexpensive so whatever. EDIT: Well well 2020, thanks for everything lol.... so at least I have discovered the Twisted Peppermint hand sanitizer! OMG it smells amazing and the scent lasts even longer than the body spray. I need like 5 gallons of this stuff. It's that good. I also bought the shower gel and it did not disappoint. Bonus- the shower gel does NOT make me feel cold! (You know how minty soaps make you feel cold??? I hate that!) So I can use this in the dead of winter. It is snowing out and I'm freezing but I'm still loving this shower gel. Just layered it with the body spray. Yum! Wish they had an EDP of this.

This stupid little body spray makes me so darn happy. I've been without for about 10 years (I'm sure I could use a forwarding service but I can't justify paying all those fees just for a body spray!) but Next UK now carries B&BW!!! Trekked all the way into the city even whilst knowing foot traffic would be sky-high due to Christmas shoppers, juuuust to buy a bottle of this lol. It's not even anything revolutionary but I just LOVE IT. Twisted Peppermint is vanilla and mint, but laced with a sugary sweetness that stops it from feeling "cold", herbaceous or aromatic. It's actually quite gourmand. VERY much like eating a peppermint candy. 10/10 ETA: unfortunately the other reviews are correct, the longevity is abysmal. About 30-60 minutes on skin, a couple of hours on clothes. It won't stop me from buying again bc I adore the scent but... yeah. It's bad.
