Hey everyone, happy July! I hope your summer is treating you fabulously so far! I have been so busy, testing TONS of perfumes for future blog posts. I have SO many ideas for new posts and not even remotely enough time in a day to do all that I want to. Can you relate??
I have so many Bath & Body Works products to share with you guys. Seriously, enough products that I’m going to have to break it up into 4 blog posts and distribute them over the next few months. I’m starting today with a group of soaps that I tested over late spring into early summer. I wanted to post these in May but again, I’m so behind on everything right now. These fragrances are great anytime, though, so I definitely still want to share them. Thanks for bearing with me! 💞
Among the Clouds
- Notes: wild berry skies, whipped vanilla clouds
This pleasant scent features lots of ripe berries along with a musky note. It’s interesting because I also have this particular fragrance in their moisturizing body wash but don’t really get any muskiness in that product. But it’s definitely here in the hand wash. ‘Sweet, tangy berries with musk’ is the best way I can think of to describe this one. My hands smell like like I’ve been picking ripe berries off the vine after I’ve washed with this fragrance. Definitely a great summertime choice!

Bright Summer Days
- Notes: coconut milk, sunny starfruit, warm sands
This is a refreshing coconut water fragrance and a personal fave of mine. It’s a dead ringer for my favorite Guerlain Aqua Allegoria perfume, Coconut Fizz (sadly, a discontinued scent). It’s light and fresh, pretty but not ‘girly.’ Just a clean, gentle coconut water scent. In addition, it lingers a long time on my hands after washing, bonus! I wish B&BW carried this fragrance in more products; a perfume and lotion would be amazing and Coconut Fizz lovers would be all over it!
P.S. If you’re missing Coconut Fizz, be sure to check out Van Cleef & Arpels’ Santal Blanc, it is very similar to it! (you can try a decant of it here)

Chasing Daydreams
- Notes: bright orange zest, glowing magnolias, sparkling sun rays
Chasing Daydreams is a really beautiful magnolia scent with some light citrusy touches. It has a lovely, sparkling quality to it. This would layer beautifully with products from another B&BW scent, Magnolia Charm, and also Estée Lauder’s Beautiful Magnolia perfume. Overall, a clean, pretty floral fragrance that’s a must-try for magnolia lovers.

Moonflower Petals
- Notes: sparkling bergamot, moonlit bouquet, warm musk
This is a powdery floral lover’s dream come true! It features all of my favorite powdery flowers: heliotrope, mimosa, and violet. This fragrance is super soft and beautiful. I would love if B&BW decided to create perfume, lotion, and body wash in this scent, as well. I would buy all of them!

Neroli Blossom + Bergamot
- Notes: sweet neroli blossom, sparkling bergamot
I LOVE a good solar note in the summer; it’s great in a perfume and it’s equally great in this neroli soap. This fragrance’s super cozy solar vibe results in it smelling like summer captured in a bottle! The simple combo of clean, citrusy bergamot and lightly sweet neroli here is a very addictive scent for me!

Orange + Ginger
- Notes: orange oil, ginger oil
This fresh and lively fragrance makes a great kitchen scent. It reminds me a bit of the herbal and aromatic classic Lemon Zinger tea but with orange in place of the lemon. If you love invigorating and zingy scents that energize your day, this is the one for you!

Radiant Sky
- Notes: rays of sunshine, golden mango, juicy lychee
While we’re on the subject of zingy scents, Radiant Sky is a tart, refreshing, zesty, uplifting, and citrusy fragrance. I definitely get the mango and lychee here and I would venture to guess that the ‘rays of sunshine’ mentioned in the notes may include citron, lemon, and/or lime. This scent is not overly sweet but definitely fruity. Would make a fun alternative for someone who typically likes and chooses lemon soap for their kitchen but wants to mix it up a bit.
Bonus: I absolutely LOVE the geometric Bauhaus-esque artwork/graphics on the label!

Radiant Sky – cleansing gel hand soap 2-pack (at Amazon)
Sugared Jasmine
- Notes: jasmine petals, caramel, sea salt
This is a slightly mature, lightly powdery jasmine with a bit of a sandalwoody undertone. This is the perfect scent for people who really love both jasmine and sandalwood. Don’t be scared off by the caramel note or ‘sugared’ descriptor; it is a touch sweet but not overly so and definitely not sickly or gourmandish. The sea salt here is also quite subtle.

Vanilla Coconut
- Notes: whipped vanilla, peach blossom, & warm coconut
It’s hard to go wrong with this popular B&BW perennial fave. It’s the perfect vanilla/coconut combo with a pleasant solar vibe; not really sunscreen-like but more like a solar-floral feel. The peach blossom is most likely responsible for that light floral touch. A familiar scent that’s easy to love if you enjoy summery coconut fragrances.

Honorable Mention (trickier to find) – Toasted Honeycomb
- Notes: wild honey, almond milk, marshmallow
This is an honorable mention because it’s already sold out on B&BW’s website and not yet on Amazon but guys, it is SO. GOOD. I just have to talk about it. I love all of these notes and it has this perfect, slightly burnty honeycomb vibe plus that clean feel that I just love. It almost smells like honey bubblegum but the cleanness keeps it from being sickly to me. I really love this scent and wish they would bring it back soon and make other products in it. It’s fabulous enough that if you’re a major fan of honey fragrances, it might be worth trying your luck with a reputable-looking Mercari or eBay seller to find it (links below).
I also highly recommend their Golden Honeycomb Wallflower scent. Its fragrance is very similar to this soap and therefore, made my kitchen smell heavenly! It’s a must-try for fans of sweet honey fragrances.
