Today I wended my way into the local Bath and Body Works to see what I could see and if anything struck my fancy among the new offerings. I tend to prefer their older scents and have not had much luck with the new pretties, but today I found two that were very enjoyable and more in keeping with their "classics".
Being fond of green scents, I was first I was drawn to Rainkissed Leaves. Just as the name suggests this one is leaves. The site says "watercress" supply the leaves in question but the effect is more outdoorsy than salady. I would hazard a guess that there are more leaves involved or maybe a generic "green note" and the site claims muguet (lily of the valley) and woods, but these are rather unobtrusive. A naturalist wonder, you'll smell like you spent the day pruning in the conservatory.
Next on the list is Butterfly Flower. The notes from the site are tea, tangerine, cyclamen, banana leaf , orchid, syringa , mimosa, coconut milk, and musk so I guess "fruity floral" springs to mind, but I did not really notice the tangerine or for that matter the coconut in Butterfly Flower. I did get a rush from this one. I am not able to discern which note was so startling to me but it reminded me of a flower I smelled long ago but hadn't smelled lately and I am assuming it is the cyclamen. My grandmother grew them and I remember them being lush and lovely but not sunny. I remember her removing caterpillars from the plants and I guess these did turn into butterflies! Butterfly food. Anyway a charming and old-fashioned pretty girl floral scent!
As always, both come in a full range of bath and body products. The Butterfly Flower is longer lasting than the Rainkissed Leaves and both can be had at a great sale price.
