Star anise/licorice not listed, but prevalent
There are lovely elements to this fragrance - something fruity/berry-like, slightly creamy, and "sparkling" (the prosecco).

But to my nose (even while not listed), there is unfortunately also a star anise or licorice that seems to choke out the rest of the notes.

I'm not a star anise/licorice fan - but if you love that, you might enjoy this; as it does give the blend more depth and "oomph". Not a safe blind buy, IMO.

Fruity Red Berries & Divinely Sweet, Warm Dry Down
This review is for the shower gel, body spray, and body creme used in conjunction.

Top Notes: Champagne, Carambola (Star Fruit), and Quince.

Heart Notes: Peony and Freesia.

Base Notes: Amber, Almond Creme, Sugar, Sandalwood, and Musk. (this fragrance really shines in the base notes!)

I was looking for something new at B&BW the other day, and the SA suggested A Thousand Wishes. Neither the name nor the packaging particularly impressed me, but I was happy to sniff it on card. I immediately thought it smelt similar to Amber Blush as I could detect the champagne note in it. I already own Amber Blush shower gel, body spray, and lotion, and whilst I liked A Thousand Wishes well enough, I did not want to purchase something that might be essentially the same fragrance as Amber Blush.

I checked the notes on-line for Amber Blush and A Thousand Wishes and saw that they shared some notes, most notably champagne but also amber, sandalwood, and musk. However, other notes were quiet different. Amber Blush contains raspberry, apricot, suede, mandarin orange, magnolia, star anise, gardenia, jasmine, and bergamot whilst A Thousand Wishes has none of these latter notes. The bergamot and mandarin orange in Amber Blush give it a much more citrusy top whilst the champagne gives it a good deal of champagne fizziness throughout. A Thousand Wishes has neither the citrusy top nor the persistent fizziness of Amber Blush. Hence, whilst they are perceived as having some slight family resemblance, overall they are different enough to be distinguished from one another.

I was inspired by the promise of a creamy almond note in A Thousand Wishes as I love nutty notes, so I purchased the body spray, shower gel, and the body creme. I believe layering gives the best projection, sillage, and longevity. I am happy to say that A Thousand Wishes fulfilled my hope that it would be full size bottle worthy.

Whilst A Thousand Wishes is similar to Amber Blush, it is different enough to stand on its own as a unique fragrance. Firstly, it is not as strong of a fragrance as is Amber Blush. I found it is much softer, and the champagne note is not as pronounced. In the deep dry down there is a creamy almond note and a warm amber note along with a nice woody sandalwood and a hint of musk that blended perfectly with the persistent but soft champagne note. The almond note is soft but quite nice, and combined with the amber and sandalwood in the base, it makes for a very warm and snuggly fragrance.

A Thousand Wishes smells quite seductively sweet and alluring given the base notes, and I think it would make a very nice year round scent. I think the fruit and florals will be more noticeable during the warm weather months, and the base notes will really shine on crisp, cold days. A Thousand Wishes is very nice, and I am very surprised as I did not expect it to be this nice. I would not say it is terribly "special," but as such fruity-floral fragrances go, it is far nicer than most I have sniffed. I am so glad the SA suggested it because I probably never would have tried it had she not done.

I like the dry down best. If I concentrate and inhale deeply, I am able to detect all of the base notes, and they do smell wonderful! This is a well blended fragrance. I think anyone who wears these base notes well can wear this fragrance well. As with all of my B&BW fragrances, projection, sillage, and longevity are excellent whence the matching products are layered with the body spray and/or the EdT.

These scores are within the B&BW family of scents. They are not meant to be compared to the same type of scored given to a Guerlain or a Chanel for example.

Fragrance: 8.5/10

Projection: 8/10

Sillage: 8/10

Longevity: 9/10

I wish… hmm… what’s on my wish list?
1000 wishes. Who wouldn’t want that? Just imagine all the things you could wish for. Of course, I’m sure you all would quickly use up those 1000 wishes, wouldn’t you?

I mean, 500 wishes would already go just for fragrances, after all, you all have well-stocked WISH lists here (not to mention the wish lists!). And the remaining 500 wishes would go for wishes like “Oh, I wish this scent would last longer!” and similar things. But of course, no one thinks about world peace and prosperity for all!! :DD
Unless, of course, you want to be the Parfumo queen… um, I meant the beauty queen :D

So, come on, what would you all like to wish for here? Endless cats and fragrance samples? Yes… NOW it’s clear that we’re on Parfumo here… :D

That you could live in the real Star Wars universe? Yes,… and NOW it’s clear that it’s yet another comment from this freak DonJuanDeCat!...

That this DonJuanDeCat never publishes one of his stupid comments again? Yes,… NOW you’re breaking my heart… *sigh* :DD

Well, let’s see how the fragrance smells:

The scent:
Hmm, at the beginning it smells, as Serafina already mentioned in her statement, like gummy bears. Actually nice, but it also smells a bit too “childish” somehow. Then the scent becomes fruity, and you can actually smell the listed quince, which in my opinion is an interesting fragrance note that you rarely get to smell.
It quickly becomes floral-sweet, with the sweetness still reminding of candies, but now it comes across as less childish and rather cute.
I can’t identify the floral notes, but it’s probably the freesias that give it a slightly stuffy scent. Some of the sweetness also has a slightly jasmine-like scent.
Later, the fragrance has a slightly woody background. It’s soft and creamy with a lightly intense almond note. The musk fits in well too, even though it should make the scent slightly heavier. Amber is not present, I think. In the later base, the previously described fragrance notes smell slightly more intense, but the initial, slightly loose fruity notes disappear along with the gummy candies (which had already disappeared before). It still seems a bit girly, but it’s nonetheless a nice, simple scent!

The sillage and longevity:
The projection is above average, so the scent will probably be quite noticeable both up close and when passing by.
The longevity is also quite okay, lasting about eight hours before it becomes too weak.

The bottle:
The bottle is shaped like a deodorant can, tinted red but transparent, and has lots of glittery stars on it, at least drawn on the bottle; they are not really glittering stars. There also seems to be a bottle variant that actually looks like a real bottle, rectangular, even with a nice bow on it, which looks very pretty, but I think it’s probably only available in a gift set or something, not exactly sure. My rating here is for the rather simple deodorant form.

Hmm… the scent isn’t actually that bad. Yes, it does come across as somewhat girly, and it’s definitely a great gift for younger girls, but you can also check out the scent yourself if you don’t expect too much but also don’t mind sweet, floral, colorful fragrances. Because in terms of scent, it really doesn’t smell bad and, in my opinion, is even good for going out/partying and being sweet and, um… you know what I usually write :D

Moreover, it’s neither heavy nor too light, making it usable as an all-rounder. You’re not missing out on anything if you don’t know the scent, but it wouldn’t hurt to test it out :)

Well then, I WISH you all a lovely evening :)

May the meow be with you! :DD

Zesty fruity-sweet start. Becomes creamier, stays sweet, and gets a slight marzipan note with a soft woody accompaniment.

Gummy bears and a bit of marzipan. If you wish for 1000 calories in a scent, this delivers! Perfect for a night in alone!
