Champagne Toast

Sparkling Toast

Bath & Body Works 2016 Fragrance Mist

A classic for a reason. Sparkly, fruity, fresh, and a tad floral. Sipping mimosas with your girls. Although I know a lot of people fell in love with this scent as teenagers or younger, I think it holds up. I’d say it has typical lasting power for a Bath & Body Works body mist, in other words, not great, but it’ll last longer if you spray it on your clothes.

Im not a huge fan of bath and body works scents in a serious way, I typically can't find a signature scent for bath and body works as I find most scents there far too sweet, and chemically. But the one I always find myself buying there is Champagne Toast. If you like very sweet 2000s coded scents this is probably for you. smells exactly like candy and clouds. But again, kinda chemically. I don't adore the smell, but it is definitely something I like to buy at BBW.

I believe I have the first round of this scent from 2016, but I understand why it continues to be released and formulated into detergent, shampoo, car scents, etc. It's pleasant, and not so similar to candy scents that it's unbearable. The citrus cuts the sweetness enough, but I can't imagine many men feeling comfortable enough to wear this. Personally I'd say it's slightly feminine, but still universal. If you're not sure, start with a candle and see if it's "you" enough. The benefit of the body mist is that its light enough for work and kinder to coworkers with allergies and sensitivities. Don't shy away from wearing in winter, too. It was originally marketed as a New Years Eve scent. I do not recommend the shampoo and conditioner, though. It smells like Pepto Bismol for some reason.

Only the candle version is nice to me. Like a lot of B&BW scents, it reminds me of a room spray or car freshener, so I would never put this on my body or clothes personally. It's not terrible by any means but extremely overhyped and overused. I feel like I smell this same scent everywhere I go, and every woman I know that's 30 and up wears this religiously

The nostalgia is real with this one. Berries don't always smell good on me, but my skin eats this up. The first spritz is pure fruit punch. it makes me think of cherry squeeze-its for all my 80s and 90s kids. As it dries down, more of the citrus comes through: I get tangerine, grapefruit and a touch of canteloupe. There is a light tang of the boozy champagne note at the bottom. My only real critique is that the scent does not last terribly long (it's a spray, not an EDP, so not really a huge surprise here) and the sillage is very VERY subtle.

Pro tip: If you have Oakcha's Lemon Cake, layering with this one is simply delish!
