Velvet Sugar

Picked this one up just last week in the clearance bins at B&BW's Semi-Annual Sale. I'd seen the packaging a few years back but took a whiff to smell what it was all about, and wow! I wasn't entirely sure how I'd like it, but upon first smelling, I was hooked! I agree with the reviewer who stated that this was finally a scent that smelled of strawberry flavor, but without smelling synthetic in the unpleasant sense. I definitely get that sugared musk note coming through, which really factors into the good longevity on me. I also get a bit of that vanilla, though it is not as overpowering as some of the reformulated versions of B&BW scents (Warm Vanilla Sugar and Vanilla Bean Noel, as examples) can be. I don't get the honeysuckle note as much when I wear it, but some of my most favorite scents tend to have it, so perhaps it gets lost in all the other notes...which in this case isn't to its detriment. One thing I noted about this scent is that, in my opinion, this---like Paris Amour and possibly even Pink Chiffon---could easily double as a Victoria's Secret scent, and this is not a bad thing! It's very flirty and fun, a "strawberries and cream" with staying power type of fragrance. Definitely one of my new favorites and one of the B&BW standouts, in my view.

I love this scent. To me it smells like Strawberry Cake with a good amount of white chocolate on the side. Like if you were to make box strawberry cake by Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker. It smells delicious. It is a gourmand that is not "warm/heavy" and not "sickly" sweet. It is still sweet though. The sugared musk really rounds this fragrance out and keeps it from being too childish. If you like Fantasy by Britney Spears, you will appreciate this. They are not sisters, but cousins, as this one is heavy on the strawberry cake vibe. This is strong too. Even the lotion of this fragrance is enough on its own. This is the best of Bath and Body Works many strawberry themed fragrances to me. This is a 10/10. Great during fall and winter, and date nights.

My new favorite BBW scent next to the old Warm Vanilla Sugar! I've been wanting a strawberry perfume that doesn't smell overly synthetic and made for a middle schooler and this fits the bill perfectly! The strawberry and whipped cream notes in this are simply delicious! The longevity and sillage are average, as to be expected from BBW fragrances. I only have two real gripes about it though... the old fashioned atomizer spray bottle is more trouble than it's worth. I had to exchange it TWICE for one that wasn't defective. I also don't like how this company always crams cheap nasty musk into all their perfumes. The musk in this one smells SOMEWHAT better than most but still... the musk they use tends to be nasty.

I personally think the EDP, and the Mist smell a little bit different from each other. I've worn the mist since late November. You can smell more of the notes in the EDP verses the Mist. EDP the notes I can smell are: Coffee, Caramel, Green Apple, Strawberry, Musk, Vanilla, Sugar, Whipped Cream and Plum. In the Mist I smell: Green Apple, Strawberry, Musk, Sugar, Whipped Cream, Plum, and Vanilla. In the mist I can't smell the Caramel, or Coffee. I like both the smells the EDP, and the Mist. I don't know what one I like more since I just recently got the EDP. This is my favorite perfume that has come out from Bath and Body Works. This is one of my top favorite 5 perfumes. Overall I give this fragrance a 10/10.

This is one of my favorites from Bath and Body Works. It is a typical scent for Bath and Body Works. The lasting power isn't that great, but it's still worth the price. I can smell the passion fruit even though it's not listed in the notes, strawberries, and the musk sugar. I see this one they are keeping around, because there is a perfume of this as well. I really thought it was going to be a limited edition for valentines day, this scent reminds me of a romantic evening out. I'm really surprised with all the notes listed, because I can't smell all of them. I was curious for awhile what the notes were in this. Overall I give this scent a 10/10, but the lasting power is a 6/10.
