    I’m 50 and remember in my 20’s being gifted a mini spray set that included Plumeria and Juniper Breeze among a few others. That’s my first memory of Bath & Body Works. I so wish I would have saved everything. I really miss the square-ish shaped perfume bottles so much. I do still have one (Carried Away). I just got Plumeria again this Summer for nostalgia’s sake and it still smells like bubblegum to me.🥰

    I remember having the Art Stuff in middle school! I had Blazin Blueberry and Charmin Cherry in the swirled lotion and the glittery body wash. I think I had the roller ball glitters too. Wow. Brings me back!
    Whenever anyone talks about their Bath & Body Works collection, I always think of these. I wish I still had some old things, but after my mom died my dad ended up throwing pretty much everything away. I was thankful when they brought back Juniper Breeze so I can spray it around when I miss my mom.
    Amazing what the memory of a scent can do.

    • @MelissaC
      @MelissaC  Год назад

    Ah, I miss the 90's! My first BBW scent was Plumeria in 1996. I remember when Moonlight Path came out. I was 19 and I wanted it because it seemed so womanly and mature at the time.

    • @MelissaC
      @MelissaC  Год назад +2

      Yes! My mom told me a story of one of her earlier BBW memories. It was somewhere between 1998-2002 that this happened. She and one of her friends went together to shop, and her friend stocked up on a bunch of Plumeria and only that. 🤣 My mom was like "Girl there's so many scents why you only do that one" 😂 My mom and I often talk about how hard it is to narrow down and choose when shopping at BBW, because there's just too many good ones!
      Do you remember what year Moonlight Path came out? Online it says 2007, but that must've been when it was repackaged? I feel like it's been around longer than that. I had a Calgon body splash of Moon Petal Musk as a kid in the 90s/00s. I feel like it literally was Moonlight Path. 😋

    OMG Melissa.....thank you sooooo much for this video it is absolutely amazing to see some vintage BBW for a Chang and it is definitely taking me back🥰!!! I so miss my BBW products from yester-year lol....I am definitely yearning and pining for my Temptations Line to make a come back hopefully one day and my Isle de Tahiti-Tatau 😥!!! I seriously think that an online petition should be created for @bathandbodyworks to bring back our NOSTALGIC AND MOST BELOVED FRAGRANCES AND PRODUCTS.... It's very sad that they will not re-release ANY OF OUR VINTAGE COLLECTIONS!!! Thank you for this trip down memory lane I can literally close my eyes and smell the "ORIGINAL" TUTTI DOLCI COLLECTION🥰 AND NOTHING THEY'VE MADE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS CAN EVEN COMPARE OR COME CLOSE AND MOST DEFINITELY NOT THAT SAD RE-MAKE OF IT!!!

    • @MelissaC
      @MelissaC  Год назад +1

      Hi, I was hoping you'd see this video come out because I remember our conversations about vintage products from before! 🤗 I am always looking online for people sharing pictures of their vintage collections and while I've found some, there sure aren't many, so I'm glad to contribute my collection to the "time capsule" that the internet has become! 😂 I would love to see some of the Temptations collection return, as I totally missed out on all of them during me and my mom's Avon spell. 🤦‍♀️ Fools, LOL! While I know it may be unlikely they will bring any of the vintage stuff we miss back, and extremely unlikely that it's back in it's original form, I still haven't lost complete hope. I do know that BBW likes to repeat fragrances and even has done a handful of nods to the past in the last 5 or so years. 🤞🤞
      Agreed, I didn't even like any of the new "Tutti Dolci" scents they made because my standard was set too high from the OGs...but like I said, I appreciated the acknowledgement to the past that they did. Sometimes I resent that they don't even act like the Art Stuff, American Girl, Temptations, etc even happened! 😣

    I love this!! I started shopping at BBW right when they opened one in our mall around 1990. I shopped off and on for years and then took a break and came back hard core during Covid and when everything shut down.
    I totally remember the kids art collection because my daughter was born in 1990. I found one of those old style lotion bottles with the sun burst logo when I was cleaning out some stuff a few years ago 😂
    Ahhhh yes scents can defiantly take your right back in time.
    Thanks for sharing and can’t wait until your next video! 😊
    The true blue spa was one of my all time favorite collections. There was a scent that came out in 2000-01 that I loved but I can’t remember what it was. I would know if I smelled it lol

    • @MelissaC
      @MelissaC  Год назад +1

      Wow, that would have been one of the earliest stores! 😍 Do you remember what it looked like at all? That makes sense, I know a lot of people started or restarted their BBW collections during COVID lockdown. Aww, yes the Art Stuff was so cute and fun for kids during the 90s! Ooh nice find! Hahaha
      Aw man! Do you remember what the bottle looked like or what kind of scent it had? It always bothers me when I can't remember! 😅

    • @juliemudd2985
      @juliemudd2985 Год назад

      @@MelissaC I’m pretty sure the 90’s store had the red gingham outside of the store and for some reason it seemed bigger than our store now but that could be because they didn’t offer as many products as they do now. I can’t even remember when candles were introduced? I would buy their candles from time to time but I didn’t become a hard core BBW candle person until probably 4 or 5 years ago. It started with candle day haha 😂 For the most part I do think their candles are some of the best around. I’ve tried ALOT of different brands.
      I know it makes me crazy I can’t remember that true blue spa scent. The packaging was mainly blue and white and I only had the lotion or body cream…I think it was body cream but it was amazing! So many people loved that collection!

    @kristipatterson9952 Год назад +5

    My earliest memory of a BBW scent was in 1993 (I was 32 years old) and I received a gift container (rattan?) of "Plumeria". It was definitely super strong then, and when I purchased it a few years ago (for the memory), it was STILL too strong, but the memory was definitely still there.

    • @MelissaC
      @MelissaC  Год назад +1

      Oh yeah! I think it was later than '93 but my mom had a couple of giftsets from BBW that were from at latest early 2000s and they were like rattan wicker baskets too. I don't remember what scents she got in them though. Aww that's great you remember those details! Even if the scents weren't my all time favorites, I'm glad they have a line of some of their original scents like Plumeria, Country Apple, Cucumber Melon, etc! 🥰 Thanks for sharing your memories!

    • @kristipatterson9952
      @kristipatterson9952 Год назад +1

      @@MelissaC It was either 1993 or 1994 as the gift was from my boyfriend's parents as we had just moved in together. I just tried googling when it was launched and all it said was the 90's. I can still picture the big rattan thing it came in, I also believe it came with some type of BIG loofah sponge. Oh my gosh, the memories are flooding back. I just wish I had enjoyed the scent more as I didn't realize back then that I could exchange. lol This is going to be a fun series. I didn't become a BBW fan until 2007 or so, but it's so much fun having these memories. Scents and the memories they provoke are AMAZING.

I hope they bring back or acknowledge the Art Stuff and Tutti Dolci lines again one day! I know they did with the Tutti Dolci like mentioned, and very briefly with the roll on glitter I think 2 Christmases ago but it wasn't enough! 😫 I need more! I sadly missed out on the Temptations line, and I don't really know why because seeing all of the packaging for it, it's definitely something my mom and I would have gone crazy for. We kind of went through an Avon phase when I was in late elementary school - junior high, so we might have missed out because we were distracted with that! LOL!
      Aww the chocolate souffle hahaha my TD stuff is a bit ripe, but I'd never use them since their keepsakes now anyway so it's alright with me. 😂 Poor things!

      @MelissaC  Год назад

      Okay so I have a question maybe you can answer for me! 😊 I've read various summaries and articles but find it hard to wrap my head around all of the business jargon. So my understanding is that Limited Brands was buying all sorts of other brands, including BBW, and Express at the time like you mentioned. So because of this, did it make them able to sell products in stores of the other brands they owned? Do you remember what years you were buying BBW products in Express? Do you suppose that they were using their other brands' storefronts as a test run for BBW products? Any memories or info you have as someone who was there is appreciated, and if you don't know, that's okay too! 🤣 I just have so many questions and wish I could time travel to figure it all out!

I remember Express, the Limited and iirc correctly Victoria’s Secret all being part of the same company and we were able to use credit cards interchangeably. Hth!..it’s the best I can do!

    • @MelissaC
      @MelissaC  Год назад

      Hi there! Unfortunately right now since there have been recently a lot of changes to the exchange and return policy, there's a chance that not every store will be on the same page. Some may honor the exchange while others may be stricter and say no. Personally, if it were me and you had the receipt, I would honor it. Best bet at this point until all of the employees and stores know what they are doing is to call the store in advance and ask them. 😊
