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.

*From the B&BW site..Top Notes: Wild Strawberries, White Nectarine, Pear Blossom, Apple Nectar •Mid Notes: Pink Jasmine, Golden Plum, Red Velvet Créme, Dewy Honeysuckle, Freesia •Dry Notes: Golden Amber, Vanilla , Tolu Balsam, Caramel, Baileys Créme, Sugared Musk I mainly smell the red velevet crème,amber,vanilla,caramel,sugared musk & Baileys crème. Its so yummy and long lasting,even more lasting when used with the matching shower gel,lotion/crème. I got the whole entire set for Christmas back in 2013 and am still in love with it!!! This perfume scent is one of my all time favorites EVER!!!!!!!!! *My husband absolutely loves it when I wear this perfume*

I love Strawberry as a note in fragrance and im always trying to find that perfect Strawberry scent...its harder than it seems because there arent a ton of perfumes with strawberry as the main note. crazy, right? you would think Strawberry would be in a ton of perfumes. Anyway "velvet sugar" is the best strawberry fragrance i own...right next to "Forever Red". I LOVE this stuff...smells like strawberry shortcake and its perfect! It works best when you use the shower gel, triple body moisture cream and body mist together for a stronger scent. Im waiting on the eud de parfum in the mail and it will be even stronger. I give Velvet sugar a 10.10

I've smelled Mad About You which is supposed to be in stores sometime this week. It's the Valentines collection, when I thought Velvet Sugar should of been for Valentines Day. It's very similar to Velvet Sugar. I can smell some differences though. I smell the white patchouli, and black current. I think Mad About You is the mature version of Velvet Sugar aimed at a slighty older crowd, than Velvet Sugar is. Overall I give Mad About You a 7/10, because I'm not a huge fan of patchouli, it really depends on how well it goes together with the other notes like how Katy Perry Killer Queen is.

Imagine strawberry cream cheese frosting, a sugary musk, and a faint background of warm caramel and saltwater taffy. What I like about Velvet Sugar is not only its sweetness, but how the warm background notes anchor the scent from being pure sugar. It smells like what I expected Pink Chiffon to smell like. I'm very impressed with this scent, and I'd recommend it to any sweet/candy lovers. On a side note, the "wild" strawberry seems to smell more like real fruit and less syrupy, but it's hard to say because of how sweet the other notes are. That could just be my wishful thinking X)

I love a sugar scent and this is no exception! I used to die for MOOD sweet cravings by Victoria secret, but is discontinued. This scent is not a warm as that scent, but more light and fruity with that sugary goodness that I love from it. It does dry down with a more warm musky amber scent that reminds me if that sweet craving I crave! I love this in a body spray and the perfume. The bottle is super cute to boot! I would definitely try this yummy B&B scent that actually competes with my other more luxurious perfumes! Velvet Sugar is definitely my signature B&B scent now!

This perfume reminds me vividly of my time as a young teenager in 2014-15 when the only thing important to me was my tumblr aesthetic. I would always get compliments on this perfume from the same girl in my classes. Such a sweet, simpler time, and I think that's a well representation of what the perfume smells like. It really is just sweet sugariness. Nothing too complex. While I don't wear it anymore and my original bottle has long been used up, this scent will always be near and dear to my heart as one of my favourite signature scents of my youth.

What a beautiful scent. Ive seen it compared to Pink Chiffon but I honestly think Pink Chiffon is such a fruiter, fluffier and with a sickely sweet girly scent, this one smells divine, almost a true sweet creamy dessert. I first bought this in body spray and the silliage was so weak, I literally had to douse myself in it and ran out under three weeks. Velvet Sugar lives up to its name, the edp is stronger in my opinion and you can pick out the scent, especially the coffee note. I hope they don't discontinued such a nice sweet fragrance.

Love this one! There are only a handful of B&B frags I admire, and this is one of them. The base is distinctly oriental, musk and benzoin-heavy; the fruit, floral, and sugar-notes are nicely-balanced against each other. I smell nectarine as stronger than the other fruits. Also, there are dark, wood-tones that add sophistication and maturity to this scent. (edit- just noticed balsam of tolu in the note-list- that's the "dark" note- lovely! also, I sense a hint of licorice...)

As someone who loves those sweet sugary fruity smells, my nose died and went to heaven. I absolutely adore it! It’s not overpowering and the notes compliment each other well. With the initial sniff, I mostly smell the pear and strawberries, with the sugar, whipped cream, floral, and a hint of caramel working together to make the perfect fruity gourmand scent. Might switch this to my signature scent with how absolutely intoxicating it is.

I have the body mist of this and it is just delicious. So fresh and sweet and yummy. I get strawberries and sugar and vanilla and caramel. Such a wonderful combo. The mist actually lasts for a really long time on me as well. I don't think it is anything like pink sugar it is much more fresh and fruity where as pink sugar is mostly just sweetness. But I do love both.

sugar sugar Sugar!!! super sweet but not suffocating. I bought this because a co-worker of mine wore it and I could smell it from a mile away! lasts and lingers (which i love) I usually don't like B&BW scents because they start to all smell the same and go bad really fast but this is an exception and one of my faves.

I love sweet sugary scents like this, so naturally when I was at B&BW, I was attracted to this. I love the strawberries and sugar scent that this gives off. I always get compliments for wearing this and I have stocked up on it in case B&BW decides to do what they always seem to do and discontinue my signature scent.

This perfume is so good on me. I received so many compliments and I really loved the scent. The longevity is exceptional and the projection is also. I didn't had any issues with the spraying cap. I fishined this bottle so fast 🤣 I haven't been able to get my hands on one again :(

I love the sweet simplicity of this fragrance. Its like a trip to a bakery on a rainy day. The rich strawberry and vanilla tones create a comforting feeling like your favorite soft blanket cuddly and safe........ it also reminds me of jelly doughnuts with powdered sugar!!!!

Light, Freshy, Fruity, Creamy ~Fresh Strawberries and Whipped Cream Addicted to this sugar bomb. A lovely fragrance that I've fallen out of love with. Silage is between Moderate <-> Strong Longevity is 3-4 Hours
