  1. It has a peculiar but not unpleasant scent, sweet woody and rather mature, which as soon as I smelled it reminded me a lot of Midnight Bloom from VS but in a less sweet version. I’d say it could work for layering with Cloud or a similar style dupe. Longevity and sillage are average, 2-3 hours! I didn’t love it but if you like fragrances like Cloud, Midnight Bloom or the Baccarat Rouge 540 dupes it would be amazing

  2. I have it and I have Cloud and I have BR540 and my nose finds nothing similar to any of the previous ones. This is a sweet, fresh and lovely scent but nowhere near BR540.

  3. I absolutely love it!! On me it has good longevity and projection. It’s much simpler than BR but still very lovely. I use it to complement. I love it.

  4. It’s a very peculiar body mist, it has a delicious sweet and woody scent. I’ve tried almost all the BMs from Victoria’s Secret as well as those from Bath and Body’s and this one is very distinctive with those smells that give an expensive perfume vibe. I’d say it’s similar to Cloud by Ariana, but not the same, you could use it for layering with the latter. It’s a shame it’s so unique because its longevity on the body is almost nil, 1 hour after putting it on I can no longer smell any of its scent on my body.

    Sweet, earthy, citrusy and creamy. It has good longevity and good sillage. It’s in the style of the overused BR540 and Cloud (still not a clone), but without that note that makes them annoying to some because of a dirty odour or one similar to urine.

  6. Delicious for winter outings!! I smell it and it reminds me of when I used to go to the shopping centre to buy Christmas gifts, pretty strong scent with a lot of sillage for a body mist and I just love it, I’d wear it during the day for daily outings or at night to just chill, it’s just delicious!!

    it’s not the worst body mist, but I don’t get the hype. it doesn’t resemble Baccarat Rouge at all. it smells fresh, a little sweet. I feel like it smells like a cheap body mist

    It reminds me a lot of when I go shopping at the shopping centre, it’s a little sweet but not annoying at all, it smells clean, overall I liked it

  9. It smells delicious, like sugar with sandalwood and wood. But I hardly ever use it because it doesn’t last at all, its scent is quite faint and it feels like water.

  10. I have lots of body mists, from Natura, from Victoria’s Secret, from Avon and yet this is the first one I have from this brand and the only one that transports me to a very expensive and unique perfume. Honestly my first impression was like wow!, this is not something I’m used to (almost all my choices are more gourmand). This one is more woody, ambery with a touch of bitter orange and it even seems unisex to me but it has something seductive that I find fascinating. Now I urgently need to find perfumes that smell similar because I love it and I would never want to miss out on this scent which by the way, when layered is brilliant 🔥

    Excellent Body Mist. Quite a lot of amber at first and the woods quickly come through giving lots of “body” to the fragrance. It feels sweet but it’s not “edible.” It smells like an expensive perfume, good projection and sillage. It lasts well and it’s better than so many perfumes I’ve used. It doesn’t remind me of Cloud which I use a lot but you could use the cream and do “layering” and it’s really lovely.

    It smells a lot like Cloud but you know what? Cloud smells a lot like In the stars! It’s woodier, more sensual, more unisex, more mature, more attractive, longer-lasting (and that’s only a body splash)…

  13. I find it really sweet, but with a very pronounced unisex touch. Its lasting power and sillage are high for a body mist. It smells expensive.

  14. I really like it, for a body mist it has quite good quality and I can layer it with other fragrances. It feels to me like sugar crystals lightly dusted with citrus and resins, in the dry-down it feels woody and a man could easily wear it. It lasts about 3 hours on me, if I layer it with other fragrances in that same vein it can last up to 5 hours.

  15. I love it, it’s so lovely, plus it lasts quite well on skin for a body splash, 2 to 3 hours is perfect, I bought three fragrances from the brand and I don’t like the other two as much as this one, honestly I would buy it again without hesitation, and regarding those who say it’s unisex, not at all, it’s very feminine, sweet like oranges with caramel and a touch of woods.

    I find it very woody and I’m not entirely convinced. It’s a fragrance I consider unisex and elegant, yet I find its masculinity a bit conflicting.

  17. I didn’t think I was going to like it, the notes didn’t catch my attention, I smelt it and didn’t hesitate to buy it. It’s a beauty of a scent, addictive, it’s an exquisite sweet embrace.

    I love this body mist because it behaves like a perfume, it lasts and projects a lot and it’s ideal for layering with perfumes from the same line, BR540 dupes. Yes, it’s very woody and has that medicinal touch that puts many people off, but with love you manage to decipher it… and that sugary, fluffy dry-down, very Cloud-style, I just adore it.

  19. It’s a spicy and woody fragrance and I get something similar to Burberry Her. It doesn’t smell like just any body mist, but it’s too soft on the skin and has very poor longevity. I don’t dislike it and I’ll keep using it but I don’t think I’ll repurchase it.

  20. It’s strange what happens to me with this body mist, I bought it blind and I don’t dare use it, this smells like wound antiseptic with a perfume in the background 😬. It gives me a bad feeling to smell it, it lasted ages on my skin but I don’t think I’ll use it any more, the bottle is almost full because I can’t stand its smell 😒

  21. It’s true that this fragrance can feel somewhat masculine as the woody notes really come through in the dry down whilst still staying warm. I love it! On my skin it performs excellently, every time I wear it I feel fresh and elegant. It’s the body mist that lasts and projects the most on me

  22. This scent is delicious, it makes me think of something fresh and bright at the same time, I loved it

  23. It’s very powerful and long-lasting, but a bit too masculine for my taste, fresh but at the same time woody and ambery. Try before you buy, don’t just go by the reviews,

  24. This is definitely a lotion you either love or hate, there’s no in between. I like fresh and woody scents but I can’t with this lotion, its woody notes stand out too much and are very strong. That said, it will last you all day both on skin and especially on clothes. You have to try it before buying it, I bought it blind because there are no BBW shops in my city and I’ve only used it twice but it gives me a headache and makes me feel sick.

    It’s true that perfumes aren’t that affordable, this is one of the best affordable versions for everyday use. It’s a strong, original scent, citrusy at the opening but over time it becomes woody. It’s really good, it’s my favourite, if you apply the lotion and then the perfume it lasts up to 2 days, and it has more sillage than a high-end perfume. It’s funny that they always ask me what perfume it is and when I wear the others they don’t. It’s not a common smell, you can tell it apart but you don’t smell it on anyone else, in the end you keep wondering how it smells woody over time.
