    I have ZERO interest in any of the “new” scents for body care day, including this one. I just don’t understand these scents for body care day before Christmas. But I’m sure they have their market research to inform their decisions. Imagine if they’d brought back Wrapped In Vanilla instead, or a new gourmand like the Pistachio & Toasted Vanilla that we were hoping for.

    Mary...I love your reviews and thank you for being so honest. I like the fact that you don't like everything and it's perfectly fine not to like everything BBW releases. I live in a colder climate so I will pass on this collection. Just want to enjoy the seasons and focusing on the holiday fragrances. Besides, I'm tired of the coconut and pineapple scents which I already have in my collection. I'm wearing Gingham Vibrant today. I want to use the spring/summer fragrances I already have. Yesterday was wearing Golden Mango Lagoon as I wanted a pick me up from the snow. I may just get Cucumber Melon though as I do like this scent for spring even though I have the 25th anniversary full sized mist for my collection.

    When I smelled this in the store, my mind told me this is a repackage of HIBISCUS PARADISE. It came out a few years ago. I was stunned because the scent notes on the package didn't match what I was smelling. Hibiscus Paradise notes are PINK HIBISCUS, JUICY GUAVA, & COCONUT.

    • @mind-of-neo
      @mind-of-neo 7 месяцев назад

      Yes! Not only are some places warmer than others, the fact that some places are hot or cold for longer periods of the year affects how the average person comes to feel about hot and cold. For instance, in the south where I live, it does get really cold in the winter, but not nearly as cold or for as long as it does in Ohio, so Ohioans on average are probably more likely to enjoy the cold and fall/winter culture because of getting more time with it each year.

    I’m excited to smell it, though I can almost guarantee I’d hate it. BBW has never come out with a pineapple scent I’ve liked. Whipped Coconut Milkshake on the other hand… 👀 I hope they bring that back. (And keep it the same scent as summer ‘23)
