I saw many saying that "Lavender Luxe | Bath & Body Works" is a repackage of "No. 3 Mist - Lavender | Bath & Body Works" - but to me, they are different. Despite listing the same notes, it seems like...

There's been some debate online about whether this was a repackage of "Cotton Candy Clouds | Bath & Body Works" . Scent is of course subjective - but to me, "Macaron Cloud | Bath & Body Works" is a truly-new...

Bath & Body Works re-released "In The Sun | Bath & Body Works" this month for their Semi-Annual Sale (SAS) - and while there are some similarities, it unfortunately is not the same as the original formula. Comparing the two: **In The Sun (original...

This is delicious! The orange is almost candied, but not sickly sweet; still fresh. It actually leans more like a peach on my skin. The bourbon isn’t very smokey, but is still ambery and warm. The honey comes across...
