I always find it hilarious how your tastes are usually the exact opposite of mine 🤣 i actually love when reviewers are blunt and honest about what they don't like, even if i happen to love that thing
Love how you acknowledge the perfumers, chemists, and creators behind the scents. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the lab or in board meetings as well!
Happy Wednesday, Bonnie! I love strawberries 🍓, but I don’t want to smell like strawberry PEZ 😂😂!! I don’t like laundry scents either, only when it comes to my actual laundry… not in a body spray or perfume! Thanks for all your dislikes! It would be a boring world if we all liked the same things!
I love Beach Nights! It smells amazing to me! I hope they bring it back in 2023! I definitely agree with you on Cucumber Melon, Sea Island Shore, Open Sky, Snowy Peach Berry, Summertime Surf, Hello Beautiful, Autumn Drive, Golden Coast, Ivory Cashmere, Pink Tye-Dye, Rose, White Tea and Sage, and White T-Shirt I don't think I've tried Hibiscus Paradise, Honolulu Sun, Berry Waffle Cone, and Gingham Pear Creme Brulee was ok to me but not an absolute favorite.
That’s okay Bonnie I don’t like strawberry pound cake 😂 I appreciate the fact that you still try and review everything - scent is so individual it is fascinating
Loved this video, Bonnie! I like how you’re not scared to let us know what you don’t personally like 😂 Here’s my take on the ones you mentioned! - cucumber melon: so nostalgic! i like how soft and fresh this one smells - sea island shore: it’s definitely too suffocatingly “laundry” for me. i’d use it on laundry but not on myself 😂 (also, glad they changed it from the low-key racist “sea island cotton”) - strawberry 🍓: i actually really like this one but it does get too sweet too fast - open sky: n/a (i don’t remember how this smells but i grabbed the perfume because it was 75% off) - beach nights: i liked this one but i wasn’t blown away- i actually think the driftwood works to soften the marshmallow notes - sunrise sail ⛵️: this is a man cologne smell - honolulu sun: n/a - snowy peach berry: i love this one!!! it’s sweet but i don’t mind because peach 🍑 - summertime surf: n/a - misty morning: n/a (but those notes sound like they’d be too strong for me) - live fresh: n/a - hibiscus paradise: this smell was ass, i hate it too 😂 - hello beautiful: it’s alright, it’s a sweeter floral (i can’t do full floral) - ruby apple & rosewood: n/a (i don’t think it smelled unique to me in the stores, don’t remember it) - berry waffle cone: it’s okay in small doses for me but only in candle form; it’s too sweet for body care - ivory cashmere: n/a (but i probably wouldn’t like with those really perfume-ey notes) - pink tie dye: i like this one! apple scents are some of my faves - rose: i think this one smells so pretty!! - gingham: i love gingham and i’m not huge on florals at all but this one is light and slightly fruity enough for me to enjoy. it’s easy to wear - white tea & sage: i loved this one for a minute so when it came out in body care i was so excited but… it’s too strong in body care form for me - pear creme brûlée : NOOO THIS ONE IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES!! it smells the closest to toasted praline & pear which i love because it smells just like pandan waffles! i own 3 sets!! - white t-shirt: n/a It seems like you tend to avoid those beachy-themed scents that have cologne-y notes in them; cotton; super sweet fruit scents; anything too floral; and the one that traumatizes you (berry waffle cone 😂).
I do not like cotton/laundry scents either! I also do not like floral heavy scents. I KNEW cucumber melon would be on your list. 😂 I haven’t smelled it in years!
My "Strawberry" mist has expired within a year of having it and turned into a strong acetone/nail polish like fragrance so I exchanged it. I now got the "Strawberry Soda" mist and I notice it is also changing, this has only happened to me with this fragrance
I'm the type of person who, most times, either prefers a scent on my skin OR as home fragrance except for fruity scents, which I like for both. I looove Open Sky in body care but not in home fragrance. I like the linen scents in home fragrance but not in body care. I too share your hate of Berry Waffle Cone and I don't like Gingham at all.
No lavender (had a candle when I was pregnant and I associate lavender with morning sickness.) No cotton, no ocean, no laundry, no strong florals. I’m a foodie. But no pecan waffles.
Agree on cucumber melon, i enjoy the fruit and vegetables, but the combo was never a choice. I do enjoy the Rose one, in the shower gel. Don't know if i would enjoy it in the body spray. We'll see...
Hey Bonnie! I love cucumber melon, but I definitely agree they need to make more cucumber scents. I just came across my salted cucumber pocketbac last night! I think that would make a great ffm!!!
Waffle cone is sooooooo nauseating to me I was so sad that I couldn’t wear it… I like pear creme brûlée but I’ll never wear it… beach nights grew on me love your honesty
I can’t stand the mist to pear creme brûlée and I can’t stand beach front blanket . I know you love beachfront blanket. I love rose it’s my favorite scent note over all scents . I’m obsessed with viva la juicy rose perfume . I love open sky. At first I didn’t like it . I’m not a fresh air scent fan. I’m more of an aquatic girl. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this.
I remember when Japanese Cherry Blosssom, Warn Vanilla Sugar and Cucumber Melon was alllll the rage when I was growing up. It was my first introduction to B&BW, I wonder if cucumber mint would be good instead of cucumber melon.
Mostly agree with your list. Cucumber melon in the fragrance mist is a mold thing. Some days I like it…other days I hate it And Beach Nights….I like the scent of it, but it doesn’t smell like something that a person should smell like. Maybe as a room spray….not on the body though. I can’t even get myself to try it once And gingham….had great reviews so when it was 75% off I bought a spray and cream. I’m not in love with it though. Will use up what I have but then done..no more after that.
Yes, melon notes run the risk of a mold scent, in real fruit and in perfume scents. Cucumber works in real fresh food but not in a synthetic note. Combine those and *shudder!*
We had snow the other day and got maybe an inch...had most of the previous snow still left (8") for it to cover. It's barely made it above freezing since. Normal for the Denver metro. We get snow more often and more at a time then most but we do really love the snow here. It's tourism money that comes in. I have been fortunate to in my short time of "collecting" that I listen to reviews carefully for hints of things that may be of benefit to me. In store I always sniff test it. I have winged it a few times based on reviews from you and others and rely on the scent notes for online purchases for sure. Every person is so different on likes and dislikes. I love my style and appreciate other styles. I freaking love Hibiscus Paradise! See what I mean? Yet your recommendation on the Whipped Rose and Vanilla and the Blackberry and Basil made me grab them for sure...the latter becoming an instant fave. Thanks for all you do Bonnie. I appreciate all of your help in defining my style.
Yes! Same, I’m with you! So happy to have come across a video of yours that isn’t ‘raving’ about all their scents. Different perspective is cool. Do it more often-about ALL their products! :-) Thanks for being ‘Bonnie, the BBW lady’!
I really like the Open Sky in body lotion. I use it on my hands almost every night before I go to sleep. I just find it so relaxing almost like lavender effect. I would definitely repurchase this one.
Live Fresh came out in the summer in the collection with Beach Nights,Sweet Escape, and Get Happy. It was the "freah" cotton and some coconut, I think. I remember this collection it came out right when I started with the company
I'm in the Lansing, Michigan area-- after our ridiculous deep freeze and terrible storm for Christmas time we had, it's not terrible, it was actually 50 out today 😳
I love fruity scents the most and then my other favorite is woodsy/warm scents. Foodie/gourmet scents I like to except for waffle type scents. The two I can’t stand is blueberry sugar pancakes and berry waffle cone.
I'm not crazy about Gingham, but recently discovered the flanker, Gingham Love..... really like it.....reminds me a little of 'You're the One', and they layer well together!

I am wondering if you have an opinion on kaleidoscope? It is my all-time favorite scent, I realize that it is retired, but I never hear it talked about. I love your channel so much! Thank you for all the work that you put into it.
I love kaleidoscope and liked it so much I bought a second in the perfume ended up giving it to my son's picky girlfriend and was so happy she loves it and uses it💓✌
Awesome video, it’s refreshing to hear you speak about the scents you don’t like. Several of your No fragrances are my No fragrances too. Anything laundry, those weird cotton scent/ocean scents and definitely Beach Nights. I thought I was a lone wolf in not liking Beach nights; it makes me gag instantly.
I dislike all strawberry scents but sweet escape! For some reason that’s the only one I like. I don’t like overly sweet scents. Like pound cake or whipped berry. But love bb shortbread and hot cocoa and cream!! So tastes are very different for everyone and that’s okay!!❤
Happy Wednesday Bonnie ❤️ I'm with you on everything but I can't believe you don't like pumpkin pecan waffles 😳😅 that's my desert Island scent! lol 🥰🥰 💙🙏💙
I’m actually going out of my comfort zone and trying white t-shirt and fresh coconut and cotton this spring/summer! Hope all goes well…I only got the shower gel and body lotion!
Hi Bonnie! Happy New Year to you. 🥂🎊 I have a strong dislike for Lily & Green Tea. It's great for a bathroom spray though. 😉 I like Summertime Surf. ⛱️🏄♂️ Hibiscus Paradise is a no for me too. Lol I thought u liked Cotton Candy Clouds?! Tfs Bonnie! ♡
I'm so confused as to when Bonnie started hating Autumn Drive. Her first impression was that it was a good one. She put it as #3 when she ranked the fall scents. Lately she's been saying that she can't stand it, but I don't remember her mentioning why she changed her mind.
Here is one I don't like Champagne Toast I know a lot of people like it but it doesn't smell good on me. Also open sky and beautiful day gives me a headache 🤕 and any with honeysuckle to. Thanks for your video Bonnie. 😊💖
I’m so glad you did this video because the ones you picked except for one, are all the ones I can’t stand either. I don’t like fresh or laundry scents either and also use scent free laundry detergent! Way to go girl! I’ve decided I like the spring and summer scents also better then winter scents, which there are a few but that’s it. Blessings to you and your family ❤❤
I tend to spray my boys down with “Sea Lion Shore” after they get home from school. It covers their sweaty, lunch box b.o. fairly well. I’ll spray their clothes too before school in hopes of they won’t stink all day long. It never fails though. Boys just roll on the floor for no reason. 🫣🤪🥴
Hi Bonnie! Thank you for sharing your least favorite scents! You are so sweet how you approach scents that you don’t like and I admire you for that. 💙🖤💙
I love the fruity scent of Prismatic Stars. Used the shower gel and after my skin dried it such a strong floral smell it gave me a migraine. It didn't have any fruity smell at all.
I expected you to have fresh coconut and cotton on the list since you don’t like cotton scents. That was one that I didn’t think I would like since I’m not a fan of the linen scent either but I did like it. I agree I’ve always hated berry waffle cone from the second it came out. But I like that pear one.
I cant belve you hate my favorite scent, white tea and sage, I love bergamont, I even bought a back up, but we have diferent taste, the funny thing I look up ypur review before buying it, now I understand you gave a good review , and a neutral idea to your public. that help find something I really like, so Thanks for that.
So glad to see someone else who like 'Tea and Sage'! I got it back at summer SAS sale, and found that it is basically a dupe for 'Perry Ellis 360 ' perfume......I layer them together sometimes!
This video was fun! I agree with most of your list except for Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and Beach Nights. I think that my nose can't pick up the "fresh air" note in Beach Nights so all I smell is s'mores. If anyone says "Bonnie likes everything" I would tell them to go watch your Lemon Waves candle review!🤣
Scents are so personal. It's okay not to like everything! I love Rose. I love fresh floral scents for work because I get sweaty so I have to be careful with fragrances and what works for me.
Im in total agreement about these scents except..I like the fresh ones. But almost all of the ones that were somehow nausiating also affect me the same way. Thank you for the video!
Love to eat melons/cantaloupes, hate it in scents. Also don't like guava and hibiscus. If I see these in the ingredients, I usually don't bother trying. It's funny how our noses pick up different aspects of a scent and the same fragrance smells different to everyone. Beach Nights, to me, smells like a beach scent, no marshmallow, no sweetness. I think I'm anosmic to some of the base ingredients in their gourmand scents. Pumpkin Pecan Waffle, Raspberry Jam Donut, Toasted Pear Praline all smell like stale baked goods to me. Gingerbread Latte I thought I'd love. But it smells fishy. I don't know why :(
I pretty much have the same taste in scents as you except for original Gingham IDK why but I love love love it. I think it's still my absolute fave still 💙
Actually I just noticed my strawberry pound cake lip gloss tasted like strawberry pez. I agree with most of these. I don't lean towards fresh scents or beach scents. They just bore me and I don't reach for them. It's gourmand or fruity for me. The only ones I'll say I do personally love are pumpkin pecan waffles and autumn drive. I adore them!
Right with you on Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. It gives me a headache. It reminds me of Cheirosa 71 by Sol de Janeiro which I also find sickening. I like a lot of gourmand scents but not those.
I have In The Stars hand sanitizer and I used it for the first time 2 days ago and it made me gag. It smells like a mixture of BO mixed with perfume lol. Rose also smells horrible to me. The worst one yet was Perfect Summer. I got it in the 3 wick candle and threw it out after 10 mins of burn.
I'm with u on saying NO to, Sea Island Shore, Cucumber Melon, Open Sky, Beach Nights, Sunrise Sail, Honolulu Sun, Summertime Surf, Ruby Apple Rosewood, Golden Hour Coast, Ivory Cashmere,Rose, and GINGHAM! I dont hate them but they are definitely an easy pass for me.
I don’t like tropical scents, and then others I think were only meant to be body wash. Like things can pass for me as soap, but I’m not spraying myself with it.
I love cucumbers and I love honeydew and cantaloupe, but I absolutely HATE the scent of Cucumber Melon - LOL!! BTW, I ❤ your nail polish color! Will you share the brand and color name, please? Thanks Bonnie!!
😄 I love Rose. Hubby likes the White Tshirt. B&BW is hit or miss when it comes to a candle scent you love vs in body care🤷🏽♀️Like the scents don't match & smell awful, compared to the candle.
No laundry, No cotton, No driftwood, no ocean, no fresh air, no alcoholic scents... Unpopular opinion but I despise strawberry poundcake, Champagne toast, a thousand wishes, moonlight Path, Dark kiss...I realized last year I don't like most of the scents that BBW comes out with (in body care specifically), I guess I'm really picky. 😭
I love your honesty, lots of my favorites are in your dislike list. I’m more of a floral girl, but occasional foodie scents. I love your reviews, thanks for doing them.
Sleigh Ride and Snuggles🤢. That is when I realized I have a very different nose than Bonnie. I like Open Sky. How you get tackle box🤣😂🤣 I love driftwood scents. Reminds me of 1980’s 1990’s Southern California. Pretty much love all the beachie scents.
Lol I loved Pink Tie Dye. Was never too keen on Open Sky though. I liked Gingham at first but it started giving me a headache. But to be honest, I think I like about 85-90% of their scents.
I got a Bath and Body Works cucumber melon spray for a gift as a young teen. I liked it at first but it sat on my dresser for so long and just couldn't use it up or stand. finally I gave it to somebody who seemed to like it now I just don't want nothing to do with it.😝
We got absolutely dumped on with snow here in MN between yesterday and today -- I'm i the Twin Cities and we couldn't even get the cars out of the driveway this morning to shovel, and the plows didn't come by until almost 5:00pm on my street. We've gotten over a foot in the last day, and it's still been coming down off and on. At least it's been in the 30s...we were -30 with the windchill a week ago so at least we're over that! 😅 I do agree there is no comforting vanilla in Open Sky, but that is one of my favorites!!! 😂 I grew up fishing and don't get the tackle box smell with that, but I do agree there is a different smell to it -- I just can't place it. That said, I think that smell is sort of what I like about it. 😅 I am also not a fan of Gingham or Berry Waffle Cone, and generally hate rose and lavender scents in general (though I did like both the rose and the lavender scents in the Aromatherapy tea scents they did last year, weirdly enough). I'm also sort of hit and miss on bergamot -- I have Golden Ocean Pearl in the shower right now and that one is okay in the shower gel, but I've had some of the bergamot-heavy Aromatherapy scents and they're just way too strong for me.
Ivory Cashmere is one of my all time favs. I also really like white tshirt and thought beach nights was a pretty good scent. I find our tastes are almost exact opposites but I love the reviews because they're always informative and helpful.
Vile Cucumber Melon!!! LOL I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. However, it keeps popping up LOL I agree with most of your picks actually. I do like Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and especially in the shower gel. However, I'm not a fan of Strawberry Pound Cake which I know you love. To me it's too artificial. I do like Strawberry Snowflakes though. Everyone is different which is fine. Not everyone can be the same or else how boring things would be if everyone was the same.
I love eating cantaloupe, but I HATE the cucumber melon scent. I've hated it since it came out in the 90s. 😝 I also really loathe Pear Creme Brulee. I LOVE Beach Nights though. Just was wearing that last month. 🤣

Who else knew cucumber melon was making the list 😄
😅😆😂
#1 on mine😂
🤣 definitely top of the list
Lol yea I knew it was coming 🤣
I don’t feel bad for her because she keeps rebuying it. 🤡
I always find it hilarious how your tastes are usually the exact opposite of mine 🤣 i actually love when reviewers are blunt and honest about what they don't like, even if i happen to love that thing
🤣
You're so kind Bonnie. I do notice how, as a reviewer, you try to find the good in each product. I can respect that. 😊
👍🏻 Love how positive this channel is! 🥰
I walked into bbw one day. I overheard an employee say “They need to stop making berry waffle cone happen” I started cracking up 😂😂
That’s me with Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. Our store cannot sell the body care. It does really well in Home Fragrance.
I like it as a body wash, but I don't want to walk around smelling like cereal so I passed on the lotion and spray 😂
Omggggg its one of my faves 😆 literally just showed an empty mist in my empties video
@@JambolinasWorld It is on my use it up tray this month.
@@orangeblossom1769 oh very nice :D it's lovely 😍
Love how you acknowledge the perfumers, chemists, and creators behind the scents. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the lab or in board meetings as well!

I love Beach Nights! It smells amazing to me! I hope they bring it back in 2023!
I definitely agree with you on Cucumber Melon, Sea Island Shore, Open Sky, Snowy Peach Berry, Summertime Surf, Hello Beautiful, Autumn Drive, Golden Coast, Ivory Cashmere, Pink Tye-Dye, Rose, White Tea and Sage, and White T-Shirt
I don't think I've tried Hibiscus Paradise, Honolulu Sun, Berry Waffle Cone, and Gingham
Pear Creme Brulee was ok to me but not an absolute favorite.
That’s okay Bonnie I don’t like strawberry pound cake 😂 I appreciate the fact that you still try and review everything - scent is so individual it is fascinating
me neither! the candle is growing on me, so i smell the bodycare every time i go in just to make sure...and i almost gag every time! 😂
All of those scents are always too vanilla for me
FYI: LIVE FRESH. Top Notes, Coconut water Air accord Clementine peel Nectarine ; Heart Notes, Beach flowers Vanilla orchid Sugar cane ; Base Notes, Musk Sand Amber
Sounds nice. :)
@@orangeblossom1769 it does, it sounds super nice...
I LOVE this one. I think it’s intoxicating. I bought several backups when it came out.
I, also, do not like laundry scents. Nor do I like fresh air scents. I fully agree with you.
Time to throw out that toxic bin Bonnie. Unfortunately I would add Strawberry Poundcake to my toxic bin I can't stand it haha.
Loved this video, Bonnie! I like how you’re not scared to let us know what you don’t personally like 😂
Here’s my take on the ones you mentioned!
- cucumber melon: so nostalgic! i like how soft and fresh this one smells
- sea island shore: it’s definitely too suffocatingly “laundry” for me. i’d use it on laundry but not on myself 😂 (also, glad they changed it from the low-key racist “sea island cotton”)
- strawberry 🍓: i actually really like this one but it does get too sweet too fast
- open sky: n/a (i don’t remember how this smells but i grabbed the perfume because it was 75% off)
- beach nights: i liked this one but i wasn’t blown away- i actually think the driftwood works to soften the marshmallow notes
- sunrise sail ⛵️: this is a man cologne smell
- honolulu sun: n/a
- snowy peach berry: i love this one!!! it’s sweet but i don’t mind because peach 🍑
- summertime surf: n/a
- misty morning: n/a (but those notes sound like they’d be too strong for me)
- live fresh: n/a
- hibiscus paradise: this smell was ass, i hate it too 😂
- hello beautiful: it’s alright, it’s a sweeter floral (i can’t do full floral)
- ruby apple & rosewood: n/a (i don’t think it smelled unique to me in the stores, don’t remember it)
- berry waffle cone: it’s okay in small doses for me but only in candle form; it’s too sweet for body care
- ivory cashmere: n/a (but i probably wouldn’t like with those really perfume-ey notes)
- pink tie dye: i like this one! apple scents are some of my faves
- rose: i think this one smells so pretty!!
- gingham: i love gingham and i’m not huge on florals at all but this one is light and slightly fruity enough for me to enjoy. it’s easy to wear
- white tea & sage: i loved this one for a minute so when it came out in body care i was so excited but… it’s too strong in body care form for me
- pear creme brûlée : NOOO THIS ONE IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES!! it smells the closest to toasted praline & pear which i love because it smells just like pandan waffles! i own 3 sets!!
- white t-shirt: n/a
It seems like you tend to avoid those beachy-themed scents that have cologne-y notes in them; cotton; super sweet fruit scents; anything too floral; and the one that traumatizes you (berry waffle cone 😂).
Omg I love this!!! Thank you so much for sharing 😊❤️❤️❤️
I do not like cotton/laundry scents either! I also do not like floral heavy scents. I KNEW cucumber melon would be on your list. 😂 I haven’t smelled it in years!
I actually love white tea and sage! Anyone else??
Only on the candle and room spray (found a candle last sas that I’m saving for this spring).
I like it on rainy days.

I hate foodie scents too. I don't want to smell like a cinnamon bun, donut, or pumpkin pie.
Hey Bonnie! I love cucumber melon, but I definitely agree they need to make more cucumber scents. I just came across my salted cucumber pocketbac last night! I think that would make a great ffm!!!
Bonfire Bash, all I smell is smoke! 😂
Me too!
It is so one-note I have to layer it with strong rose or vanilla scents.
Yup me too...
Same! I was so disappointed!
I love bonfire bash
I just used up live fresh. I sprayed it in my shower each day before I got it. Took forever to use it up! Definitely not a repurchase EVER!
Waffle cone is sooooooo nauseating to me I was so sad that I couldn’t wear it… I like pear creme brûlée but I’ll never wear it… beach nights grew on me love your honesty
bonnie, you are you thoughtful and sweet. i also find myself disliking the really popular scents and feel bad saying anything about it!
I can’t stand the mist to pear creme brûlée and I can’t stand beach front blanket . I know you love beachfront blanket. I love rose it’s my favorite scent note over all scents .

Wow it’s so entertaining watching you hate on these scents 😂 I love your brutal honesty!!
I love your honesty Bonnie. There will always be somebody who doesn't agree. I tend to trust your scent opinions.
I learned that for 2023 I’m going to try and probably will love any scent you hate. That’s my experience given this video. L O L, but true

I am wondering if you have an opinion on kaleidoscope? It is my all-time favorite scent, I realize that it is retired, but I never hear it talked about. I love your channel so much! Thank you for all
the work that you put into it.
I love kaleidoscope and liked it so much I bought a second in the perfume ended up giving it to my son's picky girlfriend and was so happy she loves it and uses it💓✌
Berry waffle cone makes me nauseous too! And I love the candle go figure 😂
Awesome video, it’s refreshing to hear you speak about the scents you don’t like. Several of your No fragrances are my No fragrances too. Anything laundry, those weird cotton scent/ocean scents and definitely Beach Nights. I thought I was a lone wolf in not liking Beach nights; it makes me gag instantly.
I dislike all strawberry scents but sweet escape! For some reason that’s the only one I like. I don’t like overly sweet scents. Like pound cake or whipped berry. But love bb shortbread and hot cocoa and cream!! So tastes are very different for everyone and that’s okay!!❤
I agree with you bonnie I also use fragrance free laundry detergent because I don't like scented laundry detergent
Happy Wednesday Bonnie ❤️
I'm with you on everything but I can't believe you don't like pumpkin pecan waffles 😳😅 that's my desert Island scent!
lol 🥰🥰 💙🙏💙
I’m actually going out of my comfort zone and trying white t-shirt and fresh coconut and cotton this spring/summer! Hope all goes well…I only got the shower gel and body lotion!
I gasped when you said no to Hello Beautiful and no to Gingham….lol. I don’t like the laundry cotton scents either.
Ohhhh, same hahahah Hello Beautiful, I was like get out!!
Hi Bonnie!
Happy New Year to you. 🥂🎊
I have a strong dislike for Lily & Green Tea. It's great for a bathroom spray though. 😉
I like Summertime Surf. ⛱️🏄♂️
Hibiscus Paradise is a no for me too. Lol
I thought u liked Cotton Candy Clouds?!
Tfs Bonnie! ♡
I'm so confused as to when Bonnie started hating Autumn Drive. Her first impression was that it was a good one. She put it as #3 when she ranked the fall scents. Lately she's been saying that she can't stand it, but I don't remember her mentioning why she changed her mind.
I was wondering the same thing. I adore that scent, I knew she hated the yellow one, but not Autumn a drive. 🤷🏻♀️
I have the mist & I really like it -- although it's very light, however it is not a repurchase for me.
Happy Wednesday Bonnie! Perfect time for another video since i was just catching up on the other 2! Can't wait to hear your picks :)
Here is one I don't like Champagne Toast I know a lot of people like it but it doesn't smell good on me. Also open sky and beautiful day gives me a headache 🤕 and any with honeysuckle to. Thanks for your video Bonnie. 😊💖
I’m so glad you did this video because the ones you picked except for one, are all the ones I can’t stand either. I don’t like fresh or laundry scents either and also use scent free laundry detergent! Way to go girl! I’ve decided I like the spring and summer scents also better then winter scents, which there are a few but that’s it. Blessings to you and your family ❤❤
I tend to spray my boys down with “Sea Lion Shore” after they get home from school. It covers their sweaty, lunch box b.o. fairly well. I’ll spray their clothes too before school in hopes of they won’t stink all day long. It never fails though. Boys just roll on the floor for no reason. 🫣🤪🥴
You are a brave soul for you to not like all these and than spray each of them on your skin .
No girl,I would be miserable for the rest of the night 😂
I was thinking the same thing, I said, I bet she’s getting ready for her night shower?! Lol😂
@@AnnV918 I thought the same thing
Thanks Bonnie! That was a fun post! Also kinda of a walk down memory lane too! 😆
Bonnie, although I’m a Beach nights LOVER I certainly find interesting your take on it. ❤🎉
Me watching you spray a scent cocktail of all the fragrances you don't like on your arms like 😑
😂😂
Hey Bonnie! Love your honesty. We aren’t going to like everything! And it’s okay. Happy New Year to ya 🎉🎊💕💕
Happy new year!!
I'm so with you on the pumpkin pecan waffle. It's nauseating...i wanna like it but it's just a big 👎
Didn’t like it at first but now I love it 🥰
Don’t worry Bonnie we all have our eww scents 😊 Love your vid’s
Thank you so much 😊❤️❤️❤️
Such a fun video! Thanks for doing it! 😍🤩🙏🏻
Hi Bonnie! Thank you for sharing your least favorite scents! You are so sweet how you approach scents that you don’t like and I admire you for that. 💙🖤💙
I love the fruity scent of Prismatic Stars. Used the shower gel and after my skin dried it such a strong floral smell it gave me a migraine. It didn't have any fruity smell at all.
I live in north central Tennessee and it's a bit dreary here now but this afternoon was beautiful
I'm in east TN and same
I'm in west TN, and today was really pretty here too
I expected you to have fresh coconut and cotton on the list since you don’t like cotton scents. That was one that I didn’t think I would like since I’m not a fan of the linen scent either but I did like it. I agree I’ve always hated berry waffle cone from the second it came out. But I like that pear one.
Happy Wednesday Bonnie!!
Happy Wednesday!
I cant belve you hate my favorite scent, white tea and sage, I love bergamont, I even bought a back up, but we have diferent taste, the funny thing I look up ypur review before buying it, now I understand you gave a good review , and a neutral idea to your public. that help find something I really like, so Thanks for that.
Oh no!!!!
So glad to see someone else who like 'Tea and Sage'! I got it back at summer SAS sale, and found that it is basically a dupe for 'Perry Ellis 360 ' perfume......I layer them together sometimes!
I like it too and Autumn Drive
@@QueenoftheGirlGeeks dont worry love the review , it help me decide to try it, so its a credit to you
This video was fun! I agree with most of your list except for Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and Beach Nights. I think that my nose can't pick up the "fresh air" note in Beach Nights so all I smell is s'mores. If anyone says "Bonnie likes everything" I would tell them to go watch your Lemon Waves candle review!🤣
Beach Nights in the lotion is so lovely, airy and gourmand. I wish I had the FFM.
@@orangeblossom1769 The lotion is my favorite! Hopefully the fragrance makes a return.😊
I’m a vanilla LOVER but I hate Beach Night. It leaves me with a migraine every time I’ve tried it.
Scents are so personal. It's okay not to like everything! I love Rose. I love fresh floral scents for work because I get sweaty so I have to be careful with fragrances and what works for me.
Im in total agreement about these scents except..I like the fresh ones. But almost all of the ones that were somehow nausiating
also affect me the same way. Thank you for the video!
Love to eat melons/cantaloupes, hate it in scents. Also don't like guava and hibiscus. If I see these in the ingredients, I usually don't bother trying. It's funny how our noses pick up different aspects of a scent and the same fragrance smells different to everyone. Beach Nights, to me, smells like a beach scent, no marshmallow, no sweetness. I think I'm anosmic to some of the base ingredients in their gourmand scents.
Pumpkin Pecan Waffle, Raspberry Jam Donut, Toasted Pear Praline all smell like stale baked goods to me. Gingerbread Latte I thought I'd love. But it smells fishy. I don't know why :(
No!!!! Not my beach nights! Actually, it’s ok if you don’t like it, in fact tell the TH-cam world it’s no good! There’ll be more for me! Hehehe 😜
Same
I pretty much have the same taste in scents as you except for original Gingham IDK why but I love love love it. I think it's still my absolute fave still 💙
I love Beach Nights. :).. tfs
Actually I just noticed my strawberry pound cake lip gloss tasted like strawberry pez.
I agree with most of these. I don't lean towards fresh scents or beach scents. They just bore me and I don't reach for them. It's gourmand or fruity for me.
The only ones I'll say I do personally love are pumpkin pecan waffles and autumn drive. I adore them!
Right with you on Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. It gives me a headache. It reminds me of Cheirosa 71 by Sol de Janeiro which I also find sickening. I like a lot of gourmand scents but not those.
We have the same taste. That's awesome because I can see what I will or won't like based on your reviews 😊
I have In The Stars hand sanitizer and I used it for the first time 2 days ago and it made me gag. It smells like a mixture of BO mixed with perfume lol. Rose also smells horrible to me. The worst one yet was Perfect Summer. I got it in the 3 wick candle and threw it out after 10 mins of burn.
I live near San Francisco it’s a pretty bad storm! Lots of downed power lines and flooding My family is safe!❤️
I'm with u on saying NO to, Sea Island Shore, Cucumber Melon, Open Sky, Beach Nights, Sunrise Sail, Honolulu Sun, Summertime Surf, Ruby Apple Rosewood, Golden Hour Coast, Ivory Cashmere,Rose, and GINGHAM! I dont hate them but they are definitely an easy pass for me.
I don’t like tropical scents, and then others I think were only meant to be body wash. Like things can pass for me as soap, but I’m not spraying myself with it.
Pez candy also was powdery when you bit into it. Strawberry scent smelled like it also had baby powder in it.
I love cucumbers and I love honeydew and cantaloupe, but I absolutely HATE the scent of Cucumber Melon - LOL!! BTW, I ❤ your nail polish color! Will you share the brand and color name, please? Thanks Bonnie!!
😄 I love Rose. Hubby likes the White Tshirt. B&BW is hit or miss when it comes to a candle scent you love vs in body care🤷🏽♀️Like the scents don't match & smell awful, compared to the candle.
No laundry, No cotton, No driftwood, no ocean, no fresh air, no alcoholic scents... Unpopular opinion but I despise strawberry poundcake, Champagne toast, a thousand wishes, moonlight Path, Dark kiss...I realized last year I don't like most of the scents that BBW comes out with (in body care specifically), I guess I'm really picky. 😭
Same!!!
I love your honesty, lots of my favorites are in your dislike list. I’m more of a floral girl, but occasional foodie scents. I love your reviews, thanks for doing them.
Sleigh Ride and Snuggles🤢. That is when I realized I have a very different nose than Bonnie. I like Open Sky. How you get tackle box🤣😂🤣 I love driftwood scents. Reminds me of 1980’s 1990’s Southern California. Pretty much love all the beachie scents.
Yes, love the beachies.
I like At the Beach but it's not a repurchase for me
I totally agree about that bass sent. I was calling it an undertone. It's in Pumpkin cupcake too!!
Lol I loved Pink Tie Dye. Was never too keen on Open Sky though. I liked Gingham at first but it started giving me a headache. But to be honest, I think I like about 85-90% of their scents.
I got a Bath and Body Works cucumber melon spray for a gift as a young teen. I liked it at first but it sat on my dresser for so long and just couldn't use it up or stand. finally I gave it to somebody who seemed to like it now I just don't want nothing to do with it.😝
We got absolutely dumped on with snow here in MN between yesterday and today -- I'm i the Twin Cities and we couldn't even get the cars out of the driveway this morning to shovel, and the plows didn't come by until almost 5:00pm on my street. We've gotten over a foot in the last day, and it's still been coming down off and on. At least it's been in the 30s...we were -30 with the windchill a week ago so at least we're over that! 😅
I do agree there is no comforting vanilla in Open Sky, but that is one of my favorites!!! 😂 I grew up fishing and don't get the tackle box smell with that, but I do agree there is a different smell to it -- I just can't place it. That said, I think that smell is sort of what I like about it. 😅 I am also not a fan of Gingham or Berry Waffle Cone, and generally hate rose and lavender scents in general (though I did like both the rose and the lavender scents in the Aromatherapy tea scents they did last year, weirdly enough). I'm also sort of hit and miss on bergamot -- I have Golden Ocean Pearl in the shower right now and that one is okay in the shower gel, but I've had some of the bergamot-heavy Aromatherapy scents and they're just way too strong for me.
Ivory Cashmere is one of my all time favs. I also really like white tshirt and thought beach nights was a pretty good scent. I find our tastes are almost exact opposites but I love the reviews because they're always informative and helpful.
Vile Cucumber Melon!!! LOL I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. However, it keeps popping up LOL I agree with most of your picks actually. I do like Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and especially in the shower gel. However, I'm not a fan of Strawberry Pound Cake which I know you love. To me it's too artificial. I do like Strawberry Snowflakes though. Everyone is different which is fine. Not everyone can be the same or else how boring things would be if everyone was the same.
I love eating cantaloupe, but I HATE the cucumber melon scent. I've hated it since it came out in the 90s. 😝 I also really loathe Pear Creme Brulee.
I LOVE Beach Nights though. Just was wearing that last month. 🤣
