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
🤣
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 😍
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! 🥰
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! One of my favorites!
I agree with you about cucumber melon
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
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.
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.
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 do
Time to throw out that toxic bin Bonnie. Unfortunately I would add Strawberry Poundcake to my toxic bin I can't stand it haha.
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!
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 :)
I love Beach Nights. :).. tfs
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 😊❤️❤️❤️
Such a fun video! Thanks for doing it! 😍🤩🙏🏻
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
Me watching you spray a scent cocktail of all the fragrances you don't like on your arms like 😑
😂😂
I, also, do not like laundry scents. Nor do I like fresh air scents. I fully agree with you.
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
Lol I worked at a bath and body and all my coworkers collectively disliked gingham. We all hated the packaging too
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!
@@sarahannsmith3129 ooooh I love You're the One! Thanks for the tip 🙂
I will definitely take that Pear crème brûlée off your hands! Love it!❤
I know I have 3 in backups! I love,love,love it!
Me too! My fave!
I'm surprised she doesn't like it, i could have sworn she said she did. I have 2 sets!
Thanks Bonnie! That was a fun post! Also kinda of a walk down memory lane too! 😆
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
White Tea and Sage is one of my favorites
Mine too!!
Hey Bonnie! Love your honesty. We aren’t going to like everything! And it’s okay. Happy New Year to ya 🎉🎊💕💕
Happy new year!!
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. 💙🖤💙
Love your honesty!! I love the florals and woodsy scents and hate anything foodie. We have opposite tastes but I love your reviews anyway! 😂❤
I hate foodie scents too. I don't want to smell like a cinnamon bun, donut, or pumpkin pie.
Berry waffle cone makes me nauseous too! And I love the candle go figure 😂
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!!
The toxic bin! So funny. I don’t know how you spray and go in for a sniff on so many for videos 🤪 that gives me a headache. Tfs
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 😳
Wow it’s so entertaining watching you hate on these scents 😂 I love your brutal honesty!!
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 ❤❤
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.
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!!!
Happy Wednesday Bonnie!!
Happy Wednesday!
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 🥰🥰 💙🙏💙
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’!
Bonnie, I love your videos and I enjoyed it ❤
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. 🫣🤪🥴
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💓✌
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.
Don’t worry Bonnie we all have our eww scents 😊 Love your vid’s
Thank you so much 😊❤️❤️❤️
I'm right there with you on the clean, linen scents that's meant for laundry detergent.
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.
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
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.
Bonnie, although I’m a Beach nights LOVER I certainly find interesting your take on it. ❤🎉
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 love Open Sky and Beach Nights but I agree with you on Cucumber Melon and Hibiscus Paradise.
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.
Omg I'm early!!! Love u bonnie!
bonnie, you are you thoughtful and sweet. i also find myself disliking the really popular scents and feel bad saying anything about it!
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. 🤣
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.
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
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.
We have the same taste. That's awesome because I can see what I will or won't like based on your reviews 😊
The content we need
I love your honesty Bonnie. There will always be somebody who doesn't agree. I tend to trust your scent opinions.
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!
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
Happy Wednesday!
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!!❤
Love hisbiscus paradise
I rocked that this past summer and if I overwhelmed anyone, oh dear, oh well...
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.
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...
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!
The problem with Berry Waffle Cone is that there's too much waffle and not enough berry.
THANKS FOR SHARING
I agree with you bonnie I also use fragrance free laundry detergent because I don't like scented laundry detergent
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 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 love rose and aquatics. Come on, spring and summer!
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. 😊💖
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!
I'm with you on laundry scents. I like the fresh scents like Sea Island Shores and Open Sky, but I can't do laundry, especially in candles. I use the All Free and Clear detergent too lol.
I live near San Francisco it’s a pretty bad storm! Lots of downed power lines and flooding My family is safe!❤️
i was waiting forrrr this gosh finally 🤣🤣
I find the berry waffle cone gel nauseating too!! I finished it, but really struggled through it!
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 been waiting for this so I can laugh 😃 😀 with you. when they finally bring back the bake shop how different will it be?
Bonnie I have the Live Fresh Seaside scent but I don’t know the notes of it either…I got it during an SAS probably 4 or 5 years ago lol I’m almost finished with it. I don’t love it but I like it enough that I wore it a lot last Summer when taking my walks outdoors.
I hate straight floral scents but I love Rose 🤷🏼♀️
The only scent I can think of that I hate is Dahlia. I’ve tried and tried to like it but I just can’t.
Fun video!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
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.
I totally agree about that bass sent. I was calling it an undertone. It's in Pumpkin cupcake too!!
pear crème brûlée for me reminds me of my tech school days when i was training in texas, holds a special memories
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!*
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.
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.
Pez candy also was powdery when you bit into it. Strawberry scent smelled like it also had baby powder in it.
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 🥰
I feel bad that you sprayed yourself with all the scents you don't like
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!!
Hello Beautiful, pear crème brûlée and pink tie dye my fave lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😊
should should do a cucumber sea salt and vanilla scent would be so good I think
Hey Bonnie! This was fun! I must agree Ivory Cashmere is so bad 😂 to me it smells like dollar store men’s cologne 😅
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 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
Hi Bonnie, just watching this for the first time. You're cracking me up!🤣🤣🤣 Cucumber Melon is not the best, but I love the Strawberry scent. Anything fresh and clean like laundry or linen or beachy, I just adore. I guess we are complete opposites on scents except for the Cucumber Melon, it just smells old to me. And my favorite is Berry Waffle Cone.😀 Catching up on lots of videos this holiday weekend, that I have missed in the past. Love your show so much!!💜😘
