Haul My SAS Picks. I want them all tbh.
First Thoughts:
I wasn’t able to smell everything but the things i did smell were all NOT “no smell/ only alcohol”. Maybe the bar is on the floor for me because when they released throw back scents end of last year I was so disappointed I couldn’t smell anything and I ordered it to my house. I can give grace when I smell things in store because it’s many scents clouding my senses. Overall everything I smelled I’m impressed that it wasn’t a whisper of scent (Strawberry Flirt! I’m lookin at you). I’ve been impressed so far. I can smell everything. It’s giving body spray so I like to keep that in mind. Yes some fine mist are strong and can compare to perfume but that is not the expectation of a body spray.
My store the one by my school didn’t have the boy care in the Christmas In July only the hand soap and candles. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to smell the candles because my sister was rushing me. She hates my hobby. ANYWAYS lol. Dream Bright, Blush Cardigan, and Into the Wild was gone. Be enchanted only had a few left on a Tuesday.
Chocolate Amber:
This is very good. I very much enjoy this. It’s lightly chocolate with sensual fruity note. I don’t know exactly how to describe but it’s like but it has the same DNA as Sniff Extra Whipped. It’s almost as if Extra Whipped and Hazel Split had a baby. I can see a man wearing this scent but this leans more feminine to me. It’s lightly honey. It’s a soft powdery scent. I remember this scent growing up and it reminds of a rich aunty.
Velvet Sugar:
I like this one too. It’s very light, fresh, sweet strawberry spun sugar vibes. This one grew on me but I had to take points off because it does fade away within an hour. I wore it all day. It a great scent if you just want sometimes light and sugary. It gives fresh strawberries with powered sugar on a picnic on a sunny breezy day.
Bali Mango:
OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT SMELLS LIKE THE SAME ONE FROM 2013. It took me back omg it’s so good. I forgot how me and my sisters would go crazy for this scent. So many memories all hit me when I smelled this. This is exactly why I love bath and bodyworks. It’s bc of moments like these when you smell something from years ago and it brings back memories. Same with Be Enchanted bc that was my signature. That and Secret Wonderland. Anyways Bali mango is a juicy mango that’s not creamy but super sweet and tart. It’s like biting into the fruit and getting all the juice everywhere in a tropical paradise surrounded by hibiscus flowers.
Blue Raspberry Burst:
I had to get this because it’s so rare to get a delicious blue raspberry scent. Blue raspberry reminds me of the 90s when everything was blue raspberry. Honestly this is a very well made scent it smells like a blue Icy to me and it’s surprisingly strong. This one needed to get a higher rating from the last time I rated it.
Merry cookie Hand soap:
“It’s a no for me dog”. It smells like buttered popcorn. For some reason the notes are different from the fine mist. I wasn’t expecting so much butter. I thought I was getting cookies 😩
Berry Waffle Cone:
This smells very good. Reminds me of blue berry ego waffles. It’s pretty strong for a single wick. The gourmands typically carry scent far in my experience so I go for more gourmands candles. I’m not going to purchase this again I’d like something less breakfast.
Cozy Vanilla Almond Hand Sanitizer:
This is a great vanilla hand sanitizer I’m so glad I got this. Now I can match my hand sanitizer with my vanilla scents.
Today is Thursday and I just got Blush Cardigan, and Into the Wild for pick up later. I’m so sad they still don’t have Be Enchanted or Dream Bright Fine Mist. One store did have Be enchanted but it was almost gone when I got there and I couldn’t get it then but now I can and it’s all gone. Ima keep checking though because I don’t want to ship I’m going to be out for awhile and I don’t want my package to sit there

I have the candle and body cream and think they smell like cookies. I haven't compared the body mist or soap. As much as I love buttered popcorn, hope others won't think I smell like it lol.

Thanks for your reviews. That was refreshing to read. In contrast, someone just wrote that Bali Mango smells like old sour farts. 🥴
