Same. I have nothing against wicked vanilla woods, but it's on the neutral side and I was expecting all of the ballet collection scents to be more feminine.
@@ShopandMorewithKimberlyNSantos Yeah there's this entire "genre" of "dark heavy" scents they have and they almost always have patchouli. Into the Night, In the Stars, Little Black Party Dress, dark kiss, etc they alll have Patch in there somewhere, whether they list it or not. Come to think of it though, I really should have expected Ballet Nights to be one of their "patch scents" as i call them, given their usual conceptualization of night scents as those.
I think ballet nights is not a repackage of WVW! Its definitely giving those vibes as WVW but its not a repackage to my nose. Ballet nights doesnt have a pepper note like wicked vanilla woods but it does give off a sultry/patchouli vibes which i do not like. Its definitely a date night type of scent. It was an easy pass for me! Now satin slippers is pretty! It smells like the OG Rose like the DNA of it but my nose is picking up more jasmine coming thru (prominent note) than the rose. The rose is a background note. Its a very pretty scent n you have to like florals to like this one. Its strong, perfumy, projects, and creates a beautiful scent bubble. I love it!! Definitely want to get back ups!
I don’t think so. I like wicked vanilla woods a lot but I do not like ballet nights. To me it smells more warm, browned gourmand than wicked vanilla woods.
I adore Wicked Vanilla Woods so definitely picking this one up. I don't think I will like the other scent and I passed on the original Pink Suede and will do so again. Halloween packaging for WVW was amazing 😊
its so interesting how different everyone’s smell is! i personally thought it smelled pretty different from wicked vanilla woods and i could smell the spiced plum note in a fruity way! definitely something you may wanna smell before u buy because it seems like everyone has a different take on it! a good scent tho in my opinion!
Yes I agree with you Bonnie on the Vanilla! That is exactly what I got on my first impression. It is a dupe to me for WVW, but the packaging is gorgeous! I am glad they brought it back because a lot of people were bummed it didn’t come back for Halloween.
Picked up Ballet Nights today. I don’t think it smells like Wicked Vanilla Woods at all. If anything I would say it’s a fruitier version of Into The Night. I like it but wish it lasted longer.
I can confirm that it smells nothing like Wicked Vanilla Woods 😕. Distant cousin, maybe. But even that's a reach. Back to the resale apps it is for me to find Wicked Vanilla Woods.
To me this is the love child of all the good things from Everlasting Magic and Dark Kiss. I love Ballet Nights so much. It's so good. The plum is deep and dark, there's some smokey incense note and a strong Everlasting Magic note. I disliked Dark Kiss a lot, it smelled like Toilet Air Refreshner, but the incense note was so unique. Glad to find it now in Ballet Nights. This is an absolute gem!
Oh my , that is too funny. To me , the 2 smell nothing alike. I hate Wicked Vanilla Woods as it makes me sneeze. A lot. Ballet Nights is so different to me. It's warm , fruity and sweet. I absolutely love it. ❤🇨🇦
Probably cuz WVW has that pepper note🤷🏼♀️ I don't not like the added pepper note, it makes it way to spicy for me! Almost smells like patchouli to me, and I do not like patchouli 🤮🤢
I was so bummed WVW didn’t return so I’m ecstatic about this! But..I’m sad about the packaging. I love the packaging of WVW. I’m getting EVERYTHING! 😊😊
This is good for me. I was one click and a half second from paying $30 yesterday on Mercari for a 75% full bottle of Wicked Vanilla Woods in the mist and cream, but a little voice told me to hold off because a better deal is around the corner. I didn't expect this though!
Hi Bonnie! NO FREAKEN WAY!!!! I LOVE Wicked Vanilla Woods!!! I did get a back up last year in the mist. I was tempted to go into my local store tonight after work, but with the messy weather I passed on it. I may go into my local store tomorrow after work. I want to pick up a candle. The stores here are open all week long as our Thanksgiving was in early October. Not a holiday here, but Black Friday sales are happening. I will see if my local store here in Canada has Hot Cocoa & Cream as well in the mini. It's not listed online here I don't think. I will have to smell Ballet Nights in person myself to see if this is one I will pick up. Something tells me this one I will like. I love Into The Night as well which is one of my favorites BBW fragrances, so I'm guessing it may be part of the same family. The shower gel in WVW was grey as well LOL I heard Satin Slippers is a lighter version of A Thousand Wishes.
Well there's 2 down for me 😅😂 - I really didn't like Wicked Vanilla Woods or Pink Suede, maybe Satin Slippers ( Silliest name of the bunch 😅) will be my Jam. Not that I need a jam as I'm totally obsessed with Snowflakes and Cashmere, and Golden Berry Mistletoe, have stocked up strongly on both, and wearing the H E double LL with both of them, so I'm a happy camper...
I agree. I stopped in my local store today and thought that Ballet Nights smelled familiar. IMO it’s a slightly subdued version of Wicked Vanilla Woods. Also, Ballet Slippers sort of reminds me of the Rose scent which has now become an online only item.
I think they're gonna end up removing colors from all the actual products. Shower gel, mists, everything. That sucks to me, I've never had any issues with dyes and the colored stuff looks nice.
It means they are having financial issues. Many manufacturers try to cut production costs by removing unnecessary materials such as dyes and label colours and textures. It happens a lot in Latin America. The most shocking example is Venezuela, where cereal boxes practically have no colours and their finish is matte. Here in Mexico, many brands started following such a strategy some years ago. Bottled water brands have already removed the colours from their labels. They use eco-friendliness as a marketing excuse, but the truth is that they're in trouble. Their sales are decreasing because of the increase in their prices but they can't lower the price anymore without reducing manufacturing costs. 😢
I just got a dozen new BBW body mists a week ago and I'm working my way through trying them all. Today was Ballet Nights, and then I saw your video right after. I never smelt Wicked Vanilla Woods so I can't compare the two. But I immediately loved Ballet Nights. The first thing I smelt in it was the plum. And for me I can still smell it all the way through. It really does have a fairly strong plum note to my nose. And I'm just crazy about the scent of plum.
Hi Bonnie, if this is Wicked Vanilla Woods repackaged than I definitely need this scent ! Still don't get why they just didn't bring back that scent as WVW for Halloween, lol. Now we need Bonfire Bash back. Ty for the great review. 🤗🩶💜🩶
I was going to try it, but I’m going to be honest and tell you I’m pretty disappointed in the holiday/winter body care this year. I bought dahlia, strawberry snowflakes, and vanilla bean Noel when they had their big 5.95 sale a few weeks ago and none of them are strong. I bought the body cream(which is typically the strongest), body wash(even the moisturizing ones), and the mist, they’re all much weaker than the years past. I returned the strawberry and sadly the dahlia scents because I knew I wouldn’t use them since I couldn’t smell them. Even my husband said he didn’t think they were up to par for bath and body works.
I smelled the new ballet collection in person and found that Ballet Nights was the only one that interested me much. The other two feel like they've just been done too many times. I don't really blame B&BW for the fact that many of their scents smell similar, mostly due to how long they've been around and how many scents they have put out. I haven't smelled Wicked Vanilla Woods so I can't compare the two, myself, but do find the plum to be prominent in Ballet Nights. I have to say I'm impressed with Ballet nights because it has a good amount of scent that actually is still detectable after several hours, unlike many of their fragrances in recent years. And it's priced at $16.95, more reasonable than some others, and is in the price range for redeeming a reward (which is how I got it!)
Wicked Vanilla Woods has an amazing smokiness that Ballet Nights doesn't have. I can totally smell the fruity plum in BN, also. They might be cousins, but definitely aren't twins in my nose.
I don't reach 4 any of those scents often enough to buy anymore of the same however I will purchase 1 set at the SAS bc the packaging is so pretty but it's not stockup worth, tfs.
I had wicked vanilla and ballet nights smells different to my nose. I love ballet nights because of that sharp note. I’m assuming the sharp note is plum. I enjoyed wicked vanilla but I love ballet night. Thanks for the video.
Oh now that I know it's wicked vanilla woods I kimd of want it. I still have my one bottle at home though so if there isn't a really good sale going on soon I'll pass.
Nooo!! Im hoping it doesn't smell like wicked vanilla woods! Its too peppery for my nose, so im hoping n praying it smells different!!🤞🏻 The pepper note gives off a patchouli vibe to me!🤢🤮
@jillpodurgiel8593 I smelled it yesterday in store and it does smell like patchouli 🤢🤮 such a bummer! I wanted to love this one because of the amber and tonka bean!😭
I don’t agree but both smell great
I did not expect Ballet Nights to smell like wicked vanilla woods. that's a disappointment for me.
I guess it explains why I didn’t like Ballet Nights when I tried it in the store. 😄
Same. I have nothing against wicked vanilla woods, but it's on the neutral side and I was expecting all of the ballet collection scents to be more feminine.
I didn't like it either! I smell patchouli even tho it's not listed as a scent note!🤮🤢

I love Wicked Vanilla Woods so I am happy about this as I need the body lotion for sure!

I’m so glad I researched and found this video. I was about to buy Wicked Vanilla Woods but I already have Ballet Nights!
I think it smells just like black currant snd vanilla. Almost spot on. Obsessed with it and this entire scent family of patchouli vanilla amber scents
Picked up Ballet Nights today. I don’t think it smells like Wicked Vanilla Woods at all. If anything I would say it’s a fruitier version of Into The Night. I like it but wish it lasted longer.

Should have DONE a SUGARPLUM🩰🧚🏼♀️❄️ FAIRY! or maybe, Arabian Nights,Snow, etc..thee songs from the Ballet♡
Yes!! I agree! I had said that too❤
Oh my , that is too funny. To me , the 2 smell nothing alike. I hate Wicked Vanilla Woods as it makes me sneeze. A lot. Ballet Nights is so different to me. It's warm , fruity and sweet. I absolutely love it. ❤🇨🇦
Maybe it's the plum note in Ballet Nights that makes it a little different.
Probably cuz WVW has that pepper note🤷🏼♀️ I don't not like the added pepper note, it makes it way to spicy for me! Almost smells like patchouli to me, and I do not like patchouli 🤮🤢
I was so bummed WVW didn’t return so I’m ecstatic about this! But..I’m sad about the packaging. I love the packaging of WVW. I’m getting EVERYTHING! 😊😊
I just did the same test and YES! I love WVW!
This is good for me. I was one click and a half second from paying $30 yesterday on Mercari for a 75% full bottle of Wicked Vanilla Woods in the mist and cream, but a little voice told me to hold off because a better deal is around the corner. I didn't expect this though!

Wow really I hadn't heard that about Satin Slippers...a lighter version of A Thousand Wishes? Did you get a chance to try it??
I don’t think they smell alike 🤷🏻♀️

Love Snowflakes and Cashmere! One of my favorites!
Great to know because I can’t stand wicked vanilla woods lol thanks for saving me money!!

Same i love colored products
Why would they remove colors, what's the purpose behind that? 😂

@juliemcdaniel499 They are trying to be less toxic but keep the scent quality
I absolutely LOVE all the fun colors too!
This is the best B&BW news all year.
Yes!!!
Interesting. I do love wicked vanilla woods. I test it out next time I’m in the store.
Wicked Vanilla Woods=Magical Vanilla, Glowing Amberwood, Enchanted Pink Pepper
I just got a dozen new BBW body mists a week ago and I'm working my way through trying them all.
Today was Ballet Nights, and then I saw your video right after.

It's official. We are being played.

I do love Wicked vanilla Woods and would love a new set that's not Halloween themed so I ain't too mad at it 😅

They have new candles online. Wish they were available in store.

WVW is one of my favorites! I'm so happy. I really missed it this Halloween

Really?!? Wicked Vanilla Woods? That’s awesome!❤
If so ,then stop renaming it! Say exactly what it is or close too. It's not like we won't figure it out. BBW ,please do better!
My thoughts exactly 💯
This makes me so happy because I love WVW!
I have never smelled Wicked Vanilla Woods but I did pick up all three of the mist in the ballet collection with rewards.
They don't even smell the same.. in my opinion. Smells more similar to Sweet Whiskey to me.
Oh, ok🙂
I'm hoping so!!🤞🏻 I'd rather it smell like sweet whiskey than WVW🤮🤢😂
I HATE SW. I love BN! It's not WVW but it's good!
"i know rose because i dont like rose" ehehehe 😊
I love this one!!! It smells sooooooo good!!! Im gone wear Kayali Vanilla 28 with it🎉🎉
Satin slippers smells exactly like rose to me. I sprayed them side by side and it’s exact. I love rose but super disappointed.
I still have two of the Wicked Vanilla Woods.
I have got to take my granddaughter and let her smell it. She loves wicked vanilla woods.
Now I have to get Ballet Nights!!!
I have both and I don’t get the comparison at all. Wicked vanilla woods collects dust in my collection…I hate it. ballet nights is so different to me.
Getting some on my vacation ❤❤
Awesome 👏 I LOVE WVW ❤ I’m excited to get it!
Where is Greg 🤷🏻♀️
They don’t smell alike at all in my opinion.
Oh now that I know it's wicked vanilla woods I kimd of want it. I still have my one bottle at home though so if there isn't a really good sale going on soon I'll pass.
everybody was asking for it, weren't they, during Halloween😂😂!?
It’s totally different
I hope so!
Yeah I don’t detect any vanilla or pepper that Bonnie is smelling.
What happen to Greg?
Nooo!! Im hoping it doesn't smell like wicked vanilla woods! Its too peppery for my nose, so im hoping n praying it smells different!!🤞🏻 The pepper note gives off a patchouli vibe to me!🤢🤮
You may not like it then. The dry down has that sharp patchouli scent, but it’s not strong. Upon initial spray it’s a sweet, fruity amber.
@jillpodurgiel8593 I smelled it yesterday in store and it does smell like patchouli 🤢🤮 such a bummer! I wanted to love this one because of the amber and tonka bean!😭
I thought ballet nights smelled familiar…😊
Well I was complaining a few months ago that I had wished that wicked vanilla woods had come back. It came true. Lol. Yay ❤😂
Yes!!!!
I would rather shower gel be clear than grey.
I think this is a dupe for Dream Bright.
To me it’s kind similar to starlit
Fragrance is so subjective. I don't think they smell the same. Lol.
NO WAY WOW SAME SCENT DIFFERENT PACKAGING
Im a ho for wvw.....i have 4 back ups so im very very interested in giving this a sniff. I think datin slippers is a repackage of rose
❤
I didn't like any of these 3. So sad the packaging is so pretty ❤😊
Repackages…😒
