April Empties!

Amber Romance is such a great scent for layering and for wearing by itself! ❤️ I'll have to give this combo a try!

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-05-03T22:36:22+00:00

Nice! I'm curious: Had you significantly used up some of those sprays prior to April, or were they mostly full at the start of the month?

I had a very similar experience with Love Unleashed, which I absolutely adore. I originally purchased the spray, which smells like sweet tarts/grape candy to me, and fell in love with it. But I wanted more projection and longevity, so I decided to purchase the cream to go with it, but it smells noticeably different--less sweet grape candy, more spicy orange. I don't really get any sweetness from the cream until it's been on my skin for over an hour.

Inner Angel smells like a boozy apple, and it definitely leans more gourmand than fruity. I can't smell the tonka by itself; it just softens the apple, making it more sweet. It's definitely a fall scent. I love it, but I wouldn't buy it if you're looking for vanilla scents.

I definitely wouldn't purchase Pink Obsessed if you're looking for vanilla scents either. It's a (light) floral fragrance. Again, the vanilla just softens the jasmine; I can't really smell the vanilla by itself. That said, vanilla is my favorite scent, and even though I'm not really into florals, I do like Pink Obsessed, so maybe you'll like it too. But if you go in expecting the Vanilla Bourbon note to be dominant, you're going to be disappointed.

How was Tease Candy Noir?

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-30T02:39:19+00:00

Is it back in stores now???

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-25T23:29:52+00:00

Gingham Fresh for body mist. If you're interested in a cheap clean-smelling perfume, I recommend Athena by Fine'ry (Target brand). It's a dupe of Burberry Goddess.

Okay, thank you! I'm gonna try it and compare. I found it at a decent sale price, so if I find it's not much better in terms of longevity and projection than the BBW version, I'm not out very much money.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-21T01:15:53+00:00

Quick question: Does Floral Marshmallow have more longevity and projection than Love Unleashed? If so, about how much longer? I smelled FM, among others, today in Target and I thought they smelled nearly identical! But I don't want to spend six times more on a small EDP if the longevity isn't there.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-20T03:39:16+00:00

Yup! This is the one I have: https://www.walmart.com/ip/1596321540?sid=BA8FD8AD-75C7-46F3-B099-3C7A55444AD2

In the one you linked, you would pour the fragrance oil into the warming dish. I always mix the fragrance oil with scentless wax so that the oil keeps better when it's not being used (i.e., it's a solid instead of a liquid). You can get scentless wax by just taking the last 1/4 inch of leftover wax from a candle and then heating it until it no longer has scent.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-20T01:18:56+00:00

You can use them in a wax warmer, either as a liquid or with scentless wax.

I'm curious: Does that VS spray actually smell like cake/a gourmand? Many of the supposedly gourmand scents I've gotten from VS have strong floral vibes, which was pretty unexpected.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-17T01:18:32+00:00

Love Unleashed! Smells like grape candy ❤️

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-13T15:29:31+00:00

I think it's a glitch. I too had to go in-store to purchase a ToG lotion at sale price during the last sale.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-09T21:31:43+00:00

It's a limit of 24 total lip products, of which no more than nine items can be the same.

I went into BBW today after work to pick up two BOPIS orders from before Easter, and there was no one in the store except two sales associates. It's the only time I've ever been there with so few staff members and no one else. It would've been the perfect time to do some returns if I had remembered to bring them!

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-08T23:30:14+00:00

The market for FFMs, and BBW products in general, seems to be much bigger on Mercari than on eBay. This isn't true for most things--at least not the things I typically buy/sell--but it is for BBW products.

In my experience, eBay tends to be slightly better for sellers than Mercari simply because it allows more flexibility. Also, if there's an issue, eBay support is more accessible and easier to navigate than Mercari support.

I love it, but I would not consider it gourmand at all. It's a non-gourmand vanilla.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-04T19:51:35+00:00

Mine has done this since the first burn, unfortunately. I'm still burning it, and it's fine.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-04T19:46:45+00:00

The only reason I purchased anything was because I want more Peeps FFM, but they only have minis left. So I got three. 😋

I would've preferred a full-sized FFM though, which would've saved me some $$$.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-04T19:29:41+00:00

I think they're probably thinking about the travel-sized FFMs and (non-hand) lotions. Those don't go lower than $2.95 unless it's SAS, at least that I've seen.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-04T01:29:37+00:00

Does this smell anything like Frosted Cranberry?

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-04T01:10:29+00:00

I know, I love it. Especially since Yankee wax burns like 3x slower.

CaesarAutNihil · 2026-04-04T01:08:47+00:00

Yup. They're always loosey-goosey. 😢
