Gemini – The Zodiac Collection by Bath and Body Works
Gemini opens up with a sweet bright peach that is pleasant and complimented by the freshness of citrus. The dry down has a aquatic woody scent and it indeed is playful and outgoing but lacks in seductiveness and sensuality. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t smell good I just wouldn’t make this the scent for date night. Gemini women’s body mist is more suitable for a girls night out or a solo adventure. It is very vibrant and smells friendly and would probably appeal more to the ladies. It has a bit of longevity so that is a plus. It needs to dry down for you to really enjoy it.…

Darling Vanilla Jasmine Fragrance Mist
Darling Jasmine Vanilla Fragrance Mist is for the decadent and gourmand vanilla girlies that love creamy sweet treats like this top note of vanilla creme. In last years limited edition Valentine’s Day Collection they skipped on the vanilla scents altogether and chose a cute candy note (it sold out quickly) but this year they found a way to blend it with these floral delights. This one reminds me of a rich and creamy vanilla cake with hints of Jasmine to add some flair and elegance to its layers. This girlie is sweet and loves pink much like us all. I love a good pink even though I am not that…

Taurus – The Zodiac Collection by Bath and Body Works
Yea, if anybody asks, Taurus from The Zodiac Collection from Bath and Body Works smells nice and the silage is excellent. You can smell it a few feet away. If you ask me it should have been a candle and not body spray. This is the perfect scent to spruce up a room and brighten your day. I can’t tell you which is the better note, the sun-kissed bergamot, the golden pear or the sheer woods but they all work together. The opening scent to me is the best one because it is loud but it blends very quickly with the golden pear. The sheer woods soften them both but…

Lovely Berry Rose Fragrance Mist
Lovely Berry Rose Fragrance Mist is as alluring as it sounds. This is the boozy scent of the three. Lovely Berry Rose is definitely a naughty naughty girl. This one oozes sexiness and it means business. This is one that you could just drink up. It is reminiscent of last years Victoria’s Secret Valentine’s Day Collection Bubbles and Berries but with less alcohol. They once again got this one right with the scent to alcohol ratio. Of all the scents from this years Valentine’s Day Collection this one has the longest staying power and is the sexiest. The smell of real strawberries is what draws me in. The strawberry smells…

Sweet Sugared Violet Fragrance Mist
Sweet Sugared Violet Fragrance Mist is the sweetness we all covet in a floral fruity delight. It’s very soft and sweet and the violet is not too strong so it’s not like an old lady scent. Sweet Sugared Violet is elegantly sweet if you will. Gentle and delicate, and pleasant to the nose. This year they got it right with the scent to alcohol ratio because you can hardly smell any alcohol in the body mist, but because it is a body spray I still recommend spraying in on your garments for an all day lasting scent. This floral fruity women’s fragrance mist is good for any age because it…

Azzaro Most Wanted: Intense and Charismatic
Most Wanted is a bit newer than Wanted by Azzaro which doesn’t change a thing but they came in hot and sultry in 2021 as opposed to 2016. This scent has less staying power than it’s predecessor which was a huge let down because I loved it at first but after smelling the original I realized how muted it was. I wasn’t crazy over this but it does smell very good and I might notice it. I think that has to do with me being attracted to the super masculine and this scent could actually be unisex because it is nice and sweet but not for a feminine lady. The…

Vetiver: The Oil of Tranquility
Vetiver reminds you that through nature, everything becomes clear because it is unhurried, unrushed, and over time, unrelenting in its will. Let the beginning of this year be a gentle reminder that a mindful pause to gain peace and clarity is always welcomed in our lives when we have tumultuous moments. Vetiver, known as the oil of tranquility, is aged like a fine wine and was used in India’s ayurvedic and spiritual treatments but became popular in the use of fragrance around the 1980’s. Vetiver is often used in cologne as a base note, providing depth, stability and longevity to a fragrance. Because of vetivers earthy and woody qualities it is…

Azzaro: Wanted
If you want to be wanted by the ladies then Azzaro: Wanted is that men’s fragrance. Although Azzaro came out in 2016 it still stands the test of time as an upbeat, daring and wearable scent for men. It is a sophisticated scent that I think is addictive and very alluring. This scent is irresistible and fresh and undeniably for the pleasure seeker as you will be sought out by every available woman in the room. It makes you want to lean in and ask what are you wearing as it’s screaming to be known; not attention seeking but, rather the star in the room. This scent is masculine, confident…

Leo – The Zodiac Collection by Bath and Body Works
Again, another hit with Leo fine fragrance mist from The Zodiac Collection by Bath and Body Works. This fragrance opens up nice and sweet with a voluptuous smelling gilded berry that shines as a top note. I love that scent. Then it mellows down into a golden petal and even though I don’t know what it is I can smell it and it is nice and floral, I can almost see the color pink. It is a juicy bright pink flower in my opinion softened by a spirited musk which I find I like. It’s a soft cashmere like musk. I love the dry down here as it is very…

What is an Oriental/Amber Scent?
Oriental scents feature spices, resins, and soft florals, anchored by deep base notes like vanilla, musk, and oud and are derived from spices found in the Middle East, South and East Asia. The term Amber is also highly used today as opposed to Oriental because the term can sometimes be seen as culturally insensitive but we will continue to use Oriental as it will resonate as we continue to dive deeper into this warm, rich, scent family. Oriental Scents are thought to be rich, warm, long lasting and quite inviting. The slow evolution through dry down means the scent changes as you wear it so what starts as bold and…
