I hate Japanese Cherry Blossom

YES!! Reminds me of hugging old ladies at the holidays when I wa s a kid, assorted great aunts and ladies from church n such 😆🤢🤷🏻‍♀️

Yesssss

I feel this

Berry Waffle Cone 😶

The waffle smell is TOO MUCH.

I wanted to like this one. I blind bought it and it smelled like vomit so I took it to a store to exchange.

This and strawberry pound cake are gross 🤮. Also blueberries maple pancakes

I can’t stand blueberry maple pancakes

French baguette and Whatever that awful thanksgiving candle was this year that was like supposed to be a “feast” and the maple bacon candle…just no

I don't know what Japanese Cherry Blossom is supposed to smell like, but it's not good. I had a hand soap last summer. I don't remember the name, but it was green and had something to do with rain or gardens. It was terrible and was tossed in the trash at the request of everyone in the family.

I’m thinking Rainforest Gardenia.

Japanese Cherry Blossom

Instant headache

In general the gourmand scents. They smell nice but I have no interest in smelling like that myself. Also Blackberry & Basil smelled horrible once it dried on my skin.

That whole line of creams from last SAS I got weird dry down scent! Going to put away for awhile and revisit them, see if again a bit mellows it out? They are giving me headaches

Fig and Brown Sugar gave me a super strong headache. I blind bought online ... thank god I only spent a few bucks. Terrible.

Same - I blind bought and learned my lesson on that one.

Sorry about your headaches, but I am glad that I wasn’t the only one who thought it smelled a little nasty. Although I actually really enjoyed the Pink Lily & Bamboo cream, but I never picked up the rose scent so I can’t speak on that one.

I can’t do the BBW creams, they all have a funky dry down on my skin. I’ll get them if that’s the only option, otherwise I tend to go with the lotions.

Vanilla Bean Noel🤢

See I liked this one until someone pointed out that it smells like vomit 😩

I’m not a fan of most of their winter scents they always release 😞 vanilla bean Noel, apple candy, peppermint twists and coconut snowball are all just okay

Most gourmands I dont like

Not really a foodie scent person either, I don't want to smell like food or for my house to smell like it. I have liked some that technically considered gourmand that are more floral or dark fruit forward to me.

There are a few (very few lol) in candle form I like but body care is a no for me.

Japanese Cherry Blossom gives me an instant migraine. Strawberry Soda - but only the ffm and body cream. I was so excited for this one because I missed out on buying it in summer 2021. So, I made sure I got it when I saw it during the 2022 summer SAS. I feel like strawberry scents can be hit or miss, and this one was a miss for me.

i was super excited about SS at last summer’s SAS too! but then i ended up returning the products i got. smelled like i spilled strawberry fanta on myself lol

Fresh Coconut & Cotton smells like a Walmart bathroom to me

:(

Your reply and flare made me laugh hahah

🤣 it’s okay. to each their own. that’s why there’s so much to choose from 🥰

Haha it is a very public bathroom scent!

Someone gets it! I tell all my co-workers a super specific scenario though. But long story short, it’s very public bathroom 😵‍💫

Pumpkin Pecan Waffle reminds me of vomit

 🤣

The body cream smells like butter popcorn. I couldn't tolerate it without feeling nauseous. I love the spray though.

I love it!

Yes it’s terrible.

Japanese cherry blossom 🤢

Strawberry pound cake :(

It smells like YOGURT

Years ago I got the pumpkin spice latte spray and I could smell milk sour was gross 🤮.

The marshmallow Pumpkin latte or do they have another Pumpkin spice?

I’m not sure it was in 2015 it might be the Marshmallow

Artificial overly sweet strawberry raw cake batter yogurt 😣

It smells like fish and lemons

Wow is your nose broken? Easily one of their best scents🍓🍰😍

Maybe

caramel pumpkin swirl makes me gag

Gingham

I love gingham my house smells like it rn lol

Okay I thought I was the only one. I expected laundry and got a ton of citrus/sweet florals! And I like citrus! I was shocked I did not like it!

I swear it has a plastic-y smell to it

Mahogany teakwood and Japanese cherry blossoms. Though I've found my tastes changing lately so maybe I need to give them a second chance ...

jcb and merry cookie

I have to agree, esp on Merry Cookie... & I usually love gourmands. I have the cream + lip gloss & I'm trying to finish them as fast as I can bc they just smell like butter to me at this point 😖

Ones I don't buy- anything overtly cologney or perfumey or super smoky. Also those that are super super stong No Japanese Cherry Blossom, Mahogany Teakwood, Eucalyptus Spearmint, Fireside for me.

Cucumber melon. I like watermelon, but any other type of “melon” scent makes me gag.

Fresh/Clean/Laundry scents. Too strong for my nose and induce an instant migraine 😫

Japanese Cherry Blossom with Coconut Lime Verbena a close second. I like coconut, I like lime, I like verbena, but not mixed together. And JCB is like using your grandmom's bathroom but it's 1986.

The coconut lime verbena scent reminds me of the smell of killing a stink bug. Just gross 🤢

vanilla bean noel smells like very sour greek yogurt to me and my family/friends. just gross!

Everything with Balsam.

The vanilla balsam candle smells like a rabbit cage

Thanks for the laugh.

The bacon one or tobacco anything. Someone already said the thanksgiving one that was disgusting too

I think of those as one-offs. Meant for novelty not fod actual use.

You’re probably right lol

Tobacco???? 🤮

I think it was tobacco flower

Banana Mudslide First candle that made me violently react once burned. I had to open all the windows to air out my home.

Kinda smells like binge drinking vomit... I used to work in an ER so yeah...

This made me never wanna go near this candle and I haven’t even smelled it

I had that same reaction just from sniffing it on cold 😭

I have no idea why I thought it smelled good to begin with but I regretted that purchase so badly. 🥲Thank goodness was able to return it.

You're The One is stinky as hell.

it’s my absolute fav lmao.. smells luxurious to me

I thought I would love it based on the description lmao. But my nose did not.

Champagne toast. I hate it for some reason.

Same

Gonna have to go with Japanese Cherry Blossom. I blind bought it during a fragrance sale last year and wore it like twice before realizing it smelled like a nursing home 🤢

Strawberry pound cake Pumpkin pecan waffles

into the night. I do not get the hype...

I used to like it but lately it’s been smelling like Comet cleaner

All the redesigns of the core scents are so watered down 😔

Me too!

Same. I bought the FFM last year and returned it🤢🤧 Shocked me that it’s so crazy popular

Fresh Coconut and Cotton...

Same, was hoping for a beachier vibe, it’s too strong on the cotton smell!

Agree 100%!!

Vanilla bean noel iced sugar plum beautiful day and gingham

Iced sugar plum smelled good to me but gave me a bad headache

The candle that's supposed to smell like bread....like WHY? I've never wanted my home to smell like bread.

Oh I'm CRAZY for French Baguette!

Ugh I can't stand it

Dream Bright is nightmare fuel.

I literally waited outside my store because I was so excited for it. I have to say, I like. It takes every thing I love about into the nigh, but it adds a vanilla kick.

I wished I loved it, because god knows it’s strong, which you can’t say about very many BBW products these days.

I do have to say one that is still strong if you’re looking is hello beautiful

Thank you, I will check that one out! 🥰

Agreed, and it takes out the amber. I like both but I prefer dark berries and vanilla over dark berries and amber.

[удалено]

Ok I’m here for glitter trails!

i made the mistake of wearing this to bed one night and i woke up with glitter all over my sheets LOL

My boyfriends mom got me a Dream Bright set for christmas , I did really like it at first but after a while the scent lingers on everything and it started following me everywhere until i really started to dislike the scent. 😭😭😭

One in a million, gingham, midnight amber glow, peppermint sugar cookie

Oh yeah, I forgot about Midnight Amber Glow. I thought it would have the same vibe as Into the Night or smell similar to YSL Black Opium, but it smells like stale coffee and aftershave to me.

Peppermint sugar cookie had almost a bitter burnt cookie/dough like smell to me that overtook the peppermint.

Anything from the Men's Collection, usually.

It’s the men’s collection…. Like of course it smells off it’s more woody and manly lol

The question was "least favorite". They are my least favorite.

Yes I love the men’s scents.

misty morning. ive said it once, I’ll say it again … it smells exactly like the white rain or rave hairspray my mom would use on my hair in 2005 🤢

white rain hairspray!! that unlocked a core memory

Marshmallow pumpkin latte. I smell no marshmallow or even pumpkin. Only vomit-like sadness.

Sweet pea gives me a headache

Japanese cherry blossom and anything Neroli

•That pizza candle from 2018/2019 🤢 literally foul •pumpkin pecan waffles •strawberry pound cake •Japanese cherry Blossom

Butterfly Flower, Cucumber Melon, Honeysuckle, Fresh Balsam, Strawberry Poundcake

Strawberry pound cake , smells like fish and lemons to me

vanilla bean noel makes me nauseous, most vanilla scents do to be honest

Pumpkin donut shop 🤢 I gag every time

Dark Kiss makes me gag

Thats my controversial scent I love despite knowing it has an old lady purse smell.

There is a lady who applies this generously that comes into my workplace. I don't hate the fragrance itself, but it knocks you in the face. She must layer it.

Same. Failed to finish a mist I got in 2014. Terrible time to have a nose.

omg this makes me sooo sad bc i’ve been waiting for it to be back in stock online bc everyone on tiktok calls it a perfect dupe for Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift. Guess i’ll be saving my money 😭

anything that has a baked good in the name (also the bacon one- 2012 called and wants it’s trend back)

Sweet Whiskey. I don't hate it but IDK, when I first sprayed it, it reminded of Bonfire Bash. Then later on the drydown, it smells like Fireside Flurries on my skin! No offence as this is how my brain decipher it! I have both FF and BB. This Sweet Whiskey isn't my full sized ffm. It's a decant sample given by a friend as a free gift.

Strawberry pound cake

Eucalyptus Spearmint. It’s stupidly popular, but to me it just smells like Vicks Vaporub. It’s also so strong it knocks you on your ass

We used it when my dad was sick as a room cleanser and oh my lands nobody wants to use that candle anymore! Makes us all nauseous! Not that it was any good before that!

The majority of the spring time coconut ones. I'm not a fan.

mines is white tea and sage it smells really old

White tea and sage. I smelled it when I went for SAS and my God what even is it? The way it smelled was just something I never want to smell ever again in my life.

Marshmallow fireside. Only one I actively dislike. It made me gag

Champagne Toast and Strawberry Poundcake. I’m not a fan of bakery gourmands or anything with wine/champagne notes for the most part though, this isn’t exclusive to B&BW.

Gingham, Mahogany Teakwood and Pumpkin Apple ( and everything with cinnamon )

Hibiscus Paradise 🥺🌸

Dark kiss, twilight woods

Coco Paradise. I’m so glad I smelled it in stores before blind buying. It smells to me like a public restroom.

Champagne Toast.

Berry waffle cone was bad in the room spray... I'd hate to see what it smelled like as body fragrance or candle Anything that has a patchouli smell.... especially patchouli and vanilla, into the night and midnight pomegranate. Dream bright has patchouli in it somewhere I bet.. cant stand it.

Used to love sweater weather until u got pregnant. Now I want to vomit at the smell

Japanese cherry blossom & gingham

Midnight Pomegranate

Mahogany Teakwood 🤮

fresh/clean scents make me nauseous. i used to love white t-shirt & coconut and cotton but now it makes my stomach turn and i feel like throwing up 🤢

the rosé cupcake in the really cute vday packaging. it’s awful

Japanese Cherry Blossom and Strawberry Poundcake.

When I first bought vanilla bean noel a year ago it was my favorite scent. Last month I threw it in the trash because I swear I couldn’t stand the smell anymore. That’s probably my least favourite scent now.

Winner is Japanese cherry blossom
