General scents:

Vanilla Bean Noel: Honestly, I think this scent is okay. It is not amazing and definitely toward the bottom of my list. This one is overstated and I’m honestly tired of the basic vanilla scent.
Sweater Weather: This scent is one of my favorites. It is a nice comforting scent that isn’t overwhelming and smells amazing. It’s a ‘cool’ scent that I enjoy using. I recommend it.
Frosted Coconut Snowball: This scent is one of the worst scents to exist. It doesn’t only have vanilla but also coconut. I don’t like coconut or vanilla scents and BOTH are in this scent. I’ve only bought this scent once, and I’m pretty sure I eventually threw it out. The scent is somewhat overwhelming and in general not great. If you like coconut and vanilla scents, you can have this scent because I’ll pass.

Gingham / Gingham Love: These scents are similar, although Gingham Love smells a bit sweeter compared to Gingham. Overall, I LOVE these scents and I proudly own both of these in my collection of Bath & Body Works. I highly recommend using either of these!!
Warm Vanilla Sugar: In general, I hate any vanilla scent, this one included. This scent is overwhelming and gives me a headache. Plus, the scent itself isn’t even as good as people make it out to be and I never buy this.

Strawberry Pound Cake: In my opinion, this scent is one of my least favorites. It doesn’t smell like strawberry pound cake and even less like strawberries. If they remade the scent maybe i’d like it more, but as of right now, it’s not so great.

Butterfly: As of now, this is supposedly a “new” scent, although I’m pretty sure it’s just the original Sweet Pea scent but renamed. Now, the Sweet Pea scent is much different from what it used to be, and not as good as it was. Butterfly is a new favorite of mine because it’s Sweet Pea’s original scent. As described in the name, it is a sweet-smelling body mist that will always be one of my favorites.
Japanese Cherry Blossom: This scent was good, but I’ve eventually gotten tired of smelling it. It’s way too overrated and now there is everything from hand sanitizer to shampoo in this scent. When Japanese Cherry Blossom first came out, it was one of my favorites but now it’s quite low on the list of scents that I like. I will use the scent but preferably not.


Men’s Scents:

Bourbon: I love all of the men’s scents. Though, this one is my favorite out of all of them. It’s hard to describe what the men’s scents smell like, but all you need to know is that they smell immaculate. I highly recommend this scent.
Ocean: This one is another amazing men’s scent. As I’ve said before, the men’s scents are unique and hard to describe but they all smell good. This one is my favorite men’s scent and I highly recommend it. According to 7th grader, Duaa K., “I like this scent because it reminds me of vacation.”
