Favorite Bath & Body Works Scent?

[cinmell]

My favorite Bath and Body Works scent is Freesia although it's been discontinued . I have seen twice in the store since it's been discontinued and bought what I could when I saw it.

Has anyone tried the new Peony yet? I got a coupon in the mail for a free one with any purchase. Is it worth the trip?

 

[IloveDMB]

The new Peony is very refreshing. All they had was sample sizes the other day, but I came home and the coupon was there, so when the full sizes come out, I am going to buy it.

The scent smells like my good friend's baby. That's what I thought when I smelled it. Reminded me of him.

I sampled it in the store last Sunday--trial sizes only then. I really liked it--my husband hated it. Men, go figure. . .

I have been using the White Tea & Ginger most of the winter and really like it. In spring/summer I prefer the flowery scents--Sweet Pea, Cotton Blossom, etc. I did buy some of the Coconut Lime Verbena last weekend. It smells like a great WDW vacation scent to me!

Just thought I would add my 2 cents to the BBW favorite list. I am currently working as a manager at our local BBW and thought I would let all of you know which scents are going soon. Within the next 6 months the following scents will be discontinued:
White Tea and Ginger
Country Apple
Night Blooming Jasmine
Pearberry
Green Clover and Aloe
Green Tea and Cucumber
Rice Flower and Shea
Plumeria
The company bases their decision to discontinue scents based on nationwide sales figures. Each store has a toll-free number that customers can call to ordered discontinued scents. I will get the number when I go to work tonight and will post it when I get home.
The new Peopny scent at this time is for a limited time only - so don't get too attached to it. The powers that be, may keep it as a permanent scent based again on nationwide sales.

Coconut lime verbena...smells just like Key Lime Pie!

OK EVERYBODY!!!
I am a Diser and happen to have a part-time night job at BBW. (Gotta pay off those student loans some kind of way!!)
Let me give you guys the run-down:

Discontinued, as I'm told:
Rice Flower and Shea (my personal favorite)
White Tea and Ginger
Green Clover and Aloe (another good one)
Creamy Coconut (discontinued last year)
Green Tea and Cucumber (not 100% sure, but pretty sure)
Crisp Citrus Basil (last year again)
Country Apple
Pearberry
Red Currant and Thyme
Night Blooming Jasmine
Coco Cabana comes out usually twice a year too in the larger bottles.

Also, I do not know if you have noticed, but the cabinets containing the regular Daily Beauty Ritual products like these are getting smaller and smaller. There is a rumor that BBW will gradually phase ALL of the scents out like that and concentrate on the home fragrance, aromatherapy, True Blue spa, and Pure Simplicity lines (which is FABULOUS), and possibly more.
If there is a scent you really want to get your hands on and its not in your stores, there is that 1-800 number to call to see if they have it to ship it to you.

I'm not trying to shoot the messenger, but... Aaaagh!!!!
I can't believe (actually I DO believe) they're discontinuing my two current favorites, Night Blooming Jasmine and White Tea and Ginger. My last two favorites ( Tangerine Spice and Orange Blossom) were discontinued a while ago.
I have noticed that the "regular" section is getting smaller and smaller. I would hate to see them phase that out completely. They seem to be following the trend, just like The Body Shop

I know MrsMud, I know, I know.
There are always customers coming in looking for scents we no longer have. IMHO, most of the ones we are keeping stink (I think Gardnia Lily Body Wash smells like DILL PICKLES!!!). I think getting rid of the Daily Beauty Rituals will end up being a big mistake, those are most of the sales.
Another rumor I've heard is in the long-run, spa services MAY be offered in the stores. The president of the company just left for a sister corporation and a new person is taking charge, so who only knows what will happen.

Oh, and Fire14, you are looking for Wallflowers. They are $12 for the starter kit and $12 for the refills (contain 2 each). You can find them on the base cabinet under each scent and there is also a cabinet devoted just to the Wallflowers. My personal favorite is Fresh Linen.
One more thing, I think we are coming out with Art Stuff wallflowers.

rice flower and shea

 

[Pig Pen]

Oh no! I just read the rest of the posts. No more rice flower and shea????

I will need to stock up big time.

 

[Judy from Boise]

I want them to bring back vetyver so i can buy it for DH !

I don't like the trend of less botanical/herb and more florals !

Freesia was my favorite too!! It's been gone a while, and I don't like any of the others... B&BW lost a customer when that happened...

 

[SoonerKate]

Of course they would get rid of the three that I love: Citrus Basil, Green Clover and Aloe and Green Tea and Cucumber.

Guess I'll go stock up.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Oh no, they are getting rid of rice flower and shea! I'd better go stock up on it today!

 

[Disneylvr]

My favorites are Juniper Breeze and Warm Vanilla Sugar. My mother-in-law and sister know just what to get me each Christmas and their gifts keep we well stocked all year!

 

[Blondie]

They'll lose a customer if they start phasing out all the great scents they have, like Coconut Lime Verbena.

One of the things that makes B&BW unique is their scents! Their some of the strongest around! It's almost like aromatherapy!

You can buy Kiwi-Lime, Apple, etc in other brands/stores, but none of them have the same B&BW quality!

 

[dcgrumpy]

My current favorite is Grapefruit jasmine, which was a special edition this past summer. Unfortunately I didn't stock up then

A close second would be Mango Mandarin and I like Coconut Lime Verbena on vacation

 

[MeanLaureen]

Freesia, Freesia, Freesia and Freesia!

Think I like Freesia??

I also like Sweet Pea and Cotton Blossom but nothing beats my Freesia!
