Scents

I love fresh coconut colada
Pink champagne
Sweet pea
Pink pineapple sunrise

 

Some of my favorites from BBW are Pink Pineapple Sunrise & Pineapple Mango. I tend to do more tropical/citrusy for candles & household smells. For personal fragrance, I love coconuts & vanillas. At Christmas I love almost all the Christmasy scents, but definitely cinnamon in there somewhere!

 

I agree with @KimJ. No scents at all.

I even have to avoid the candle aisle in Wal-Mart. Too many scents that overload my system.

It is funny because in my 20's I had no problem with scents. I even had incense burning in my apartments with no problems. I wore perfume (loved Wind Song) but as my mother's emphysema got worse and she couldn't stand scents, I stopped wearing perfume. We didn't have candles burning in the house either. After she passed, I tried wearing perfume again and found that it bothered me. Now even being near someone wearing any scent at all gives me a headache.

 

The original Bath and Body Works Honeysuckle scent was may all time favorite, but it's been discontinued for a long time. I like tropical or fruity scents. I'll usually go for a coconut or vanilla. Same for my household scents. I love a blueberry cheesecake wax melt or blackberry vanilla.

 

Like @KimJ I'm fairly sensitive to scents but when I do choose them I prefer vanilla, coconut or fruity ones rather than strong perfume scents

 

I use Avon Night Magic ... I generally don't wear a lot of perfumes as a lot bother my breathing, but this is soft and light smelling. I have used it for years and really goes well with my body chemistry.

At home, hubby doesn't like scented candles etc in the house, but I can get away with a rose yankee candle which smells nice and is not overpowering.

 

I love coconut and vanilla smells best. They had a candle that was named coconut colada that is my favorite and I'm going to be so sad when it's gone because I haven't been able to find it again. The last body lotion I got from BBW was Vanilla Romance and I really liked that one. It's really the first vanilla lotion from them that I've liked. In the fall I also LOVE the Pumpkin Cupcake which is pretty close to a vanilla smell. I also love the Pumpkin Apple scent there too.

 

But coconut is like suntan lotion and I can pretend I'm at the beach! Yeah, I do like to eat coconut flavors too.

 

I'm not a perfume person but hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works are a must. (We go through a lot of hand san here and I cannot stand the generic rubbing alcohol scent after a while.) My brother loves hand san and foaming soaps from B&BW so he usually just throws a few extras into his order for me. He buys himself a lot of fruity/tropical ones and then gives me the ones he doesn't like. When I get to pick, I like whatever seasonal vanilla they have, the ones that are supposed to be beachy, evergreen, cinnamon, and I adore lavender. My MIL sent me a package of lavender-vanilla hand sanitizer for the holidays and I am so excited to have it.

Our hand soaps (tablets of foaming hand soap refills from Blueland in my brother's empty B&BW dispensers) are either lavender-eucalyptus, evergreen, or Pacific mist if I get to pick. If we get the multi-pack, then it's those 3 plus iris agave (in the guest bathroom) and Meyer lemon (in the kitchen only because I'm not a citrus person, despite living in FL)

 

Most scents give me a headache so I can’t wear them or be around them. I have to hold my breath when I walk past a Bath and Bodyworks store or the bath bombs section of other stores.

I can’t do florals of any kind or anything that is perfumey. I can handle some citrus and vanilla if it’s natural, but if it’s synthetic, I can’t.

All those fragrance chemicals have really messed up our bodies and disrupted our hormones. The older I get the more sensitive I have become. Like @KimJ I have a hard time with the smells from the products my girls use. If I buy it for them, it has to pass my smell test…

 

I was never a big perfume or scents user but when I do use them it has to be something light. Lately with vanilla notes. I like Eilish by Billie Eilish and 7 Summer by Dime Beauty.

 

I love Champagne Toast from Bath & Body as well as their lemon one for hand sanitizer; can't beat a fresh lemon scent! I also have a Scentsy Coconut Lemongrass room spray that I love that's tropical-ish. Citrus scents are usually my favorite but I also love pine and cinnamon scents during the winter holidays.

 

I love citrus and bergamot scents for candles and air fresheners. I'm currently using La Vie est Belle perfume when I remember to wear some. I worked so long at a scent-free place, that I forget to use it. Back in the day I remember using Love's Baby Soft, Wind Song, Avon's Odyssey, and then when I was married, my husband bought me Yves St. Laurent's Paris, which I loved.

 

I have to say I'm pretty much allergic to scents. I wasn't allergic to them before I contracted Lyme in 2007, but that changed everything.

 

Champagne Toast and Kitchen Lemon are my two "go-to" scents from B&BW. Our adult daughter is living with us and she is very into scents so I have a lot more around with her here. I am usually not a big scent person. I rarely wear perfume because it really starts to annoy me after a while but I do sometimes like a very "clean" scented perfume like Light Blue.

 

It's a sad day when B&BW discontinues one of your favorites! They used to have this bath oil that I LOVED but now it's gone and baths aren't the same . . . .
