One of B&BW's best
I've had this in different forms now throughout the years. Fine fragrance mists, body lotion, hand cream and shower gel. I've seen a couple of comments and such about how this is weaker now, and the only reason I think it would be is if you compare this to the actual perfume (if you were lucky enough to grab it).

There's been a lot of reformulations with B&BW scents, but I just personally don't feel like this has taken a hit at all, it's still strong and the notes are all intact. I can't tell a difference between older and newer bottles.

It's sparkling and has that special BR540 magic that Cloud, 7 Summers, Her and other spinoff/dupe fragrances have. Despite how insanely ubiquitous this has become, the scent profile is still as special and gripping to me as ever. I don't care how many people wear stuff like this, I'll always find it intoxicating. Not everyone smells or detects the sparkles , but if you're fortunate enough to...this is an absolute no-brainer. It's so, so affordable, and smells FAR more expensive than it is.

It's such a clean oud and delicious citrus, I find this more enjoyable than Cloud (but I do love that too), this is my runner up for BR540. Although this is one of the less expensive dupes, I think it's classier, it's better than 7 Summers to my nose. BR540 itself still has more undeniable woody elegance and saffron; this is more gummy and less bougie overall, but it's still fantastic. I can see why some people think it's masculine, but honestly....it's so glamorous that it just seems like it's made for women who feel like going all out

Some days I wash my hair with the shower gel (the men's 2-in-1 stuff is marketed as shampoo/body wash and it's the same formula...so...) and the fragrance will last in my hair for at least 24 hours. It makes my entire bathroom smell ridiculous Or, sometimes I'll just just a dab of hand cream and it projects like crazy. The fragrance mist operates nearly like an EDP, and this is definitely one of the heavier hitters from B&BW. I gave away a backup bottle because I truly don't believe I'll ever need it.

This style isn't for everyone, but if you love it, you love it. In the Stars makes my eyes roll back...

My Favorite Fragrance Mist
This is without a doubt my favorite body mist from BBW. It's a perfect compliment to crisp, cool, Fall weather and reminds me of spending time outdoors walking through crunchy leaves. This gets compared a lot to BR 540 and Cloud, which I would say this is in the same realm however,I don't find them to be super close. I get a touch of sweetness and almost a "bubbly" feeling almost like aldehydes, along with a woodiness that tips this fragrance ever so slightly masculine. To be honest, I think this would smell lovely on a man. Every so often, BBW releases some great fragrances and this is definitely one of them! I hope they never discontinue this line because that would be, well, tragic. (Okay, that was a bit overdramatic). :P

Better as a mist
I bought the EDP knowing I love this scent but found that the higher intensity didn't do much. This is a sweet, citrusy, musky, woody and spicy fragrance that I think absolutely shines in the light body spray formula. I do not see any similarities between with is BR540, so I think this is best enjoyed as it's own fragrance. I can see this being someone's gateway into perfumes from the world of BBW, this smells much more complex than what I expect from the brand.

Don’t ignore low cost fragrances
I can’t understand all excitement about “Baccarat Rouge 540” by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. In my opinion it can’t last on me for few hours. I have to reapply several times. I was no different then everybody else, I honestly tried and can’t believe it when I came accidentally across “In the stars”, fine fragrance mist, made by Bath and body works. This dupe is excellent! Not to mention that it lasts almost all day, it is so close to “Cloud” by Ariana Grande. Costs nearly $15. I layered “In the stars” with my cashmere fragrances and it smells divine!!! It performs better in cold, Autumn days. I stocked with this mist and now I want to try perfume version. Try it and see if that works for you too.

Smells as sparkly as its bottle. My first and ultimate love from Bath and Body Works. Not too sweet and slightly peppery.

Although I absolutely love the gentle oud vibe in this, I can't see the similarities to Cloud or BR540. That being said, she's still gorgeous.

My holy grail of body sprays. I searched for the EDP everywhere until they finally brought it back! Airy, amber-y, sparkly. It's everything!
