Forever Red

For the holiday season Bath and Body Works has introduced a new scent, Forever Red. It is divine. 

One of my absolutely favorite scents from Bath and Body Works is Midnight Pomegranate and this one may have taken its place! The sample shown above is .25 fl oz/7 ml and retails for $10. Normally, I am allergic to an type of perfume. And I mean any!!! I become itchy, hives appear the whole shebang but this, amazingly, does not trouble me. 

The scent is light and crisp but it has some warm undertones which I feel makes it suitable for the colder months. According the product page on Bath and Body Works website it has top notes, mild notes and dry notes. Tops notes are fiery pomegranate, rare french peach and luminous apple. Mild notes are red peony, night marigold, red osmanthus. Dry notes are rich vanilla rum, velvety marshmallow, oak wood. 

When I first apply this after I shower or right before I leave for work the smell is just intoxicating! I can smell the apple and pomegranate hit me and envelop me and then the marshmallow and rum linger. At least to me, I cannot distinguish the flowery scents. Maybe too mild for my nose? The one thing I did find with this is that it does not last with me. With some scents and perfumes, they can last up to 4 and even 5 hours on me, especially in my hair. But with this, it doesn't linger long and doesn't leave a lasting impression on me for many to notice which is kind of saddening because I want to share this smell with the world and not like a crazy perfume person in the mall asking if you want to "try a sample" as they aim for your mouth!

Overall, I am kind of in love with this because I try not to spray it so much because it is so expensive. A full size bottle of the Eau de Parfum is $44.50! I am not sure I am willing to shell out that kind of cash. Maybe I'll try the lotion next and see how that fairs. This gets 4.5 out of 5 stars for me. I just wish it would last longer!  


Let me know what you think or if there is any other scent out there worth discussing!

Thanks!
