I’ve been holding off reviewing Bath and Body Works Perfect in Pink Eau de Parfum because although it released for Holiday 2023 it’s such a perfect Spring and Valentine’s Day fragrance! I realize sales are at a high point during the Holiday season and that might be their logic behind launching it at that time but my opinion is this is a Valentine’s Day perfume! I mean, look at the bottle…! Bright, playful pink in color with a big old bow on tied around the cap! Yeah, it screams Spring, love, and romance!
Bath and Body Works Perfect in Pink is available in a host of different products. We got wallflowers, fragrance mists, body lotions, shower gels, etc…etc..! I ended up purchasing the large bottle of the EDP during one of the numerous Holiday sales Bath and Body Works had last month. I think I got it for 40% off when they had the 40% sitewide sale. I got the 3.4 oz bottle which is typically $70 and I’m going to throw it out there and say that’s WAY too expensive for a bottle of Bath and Body Works anything. I’m not shy about spending money on fragrance but Bath and Body Works perfumes are weak as hell and paying $70 dollars is obscene if it isn’t going last me all damn day. That being said who pays full-price for anything Bath and Body Works? They always have a good sale, deal, or coupons somewhere around the corner.
Anyway, now that we got the $70 elephant out of the way let’s chat about how this smells. This has notes of cherries, pink camellia and whipped almond crème. It’s fruity, it’s sweet, and it’s girly to the max. It smells pink! Like the color pink! It’s just really fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you like sweet and fruity you’ll adore this. Keep in mind this isn’t really a complex fragrance. It’s sort of a what you see is what you get fragrance. It opens with a blast of sweet cherries mixed with a soft camellia and it dries down to a soft cherry marzipan-like scent. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. And I’m ok with that. I think it’s playful, sweet, feminine, and girly! It’s a “I’m a pretty pony” type of scent and I’m ok with that as sometimes you just wanna feel cute and this is the type of fragrance that will make you feel that way!
I haven’t tried it yet but I think it’ll pair up great with Sweetheart Cherry. Speaking of which, I do think this smells a lot like Sweetheart Cherry but the floral note makes it a little less sweet. If Sweetheart Cherry was a little too sweet for you Perfect in Pink might do you better as the camellia softens the sweetness. And can we get a little applause for the bottle? Not only is the bottle adorable but it actually comes in a huge bow box which makes it perfect for gifting!
But most important, how’s the wear? Eh…! It’s ok. Layering is required. I’d recommend purchasing the body lotion to create a nice scent bubble and the fragrance does wear away fairly fast in my opinion. I can get about five or six mists in and it’ll last me about three to four hours before it disappears. Lotion does help extend that wear considerably.
I wouldn’t recommend dropping $70 on Bath and Body Works Perfect in Pink but if run across a sale or have a coupon it’s absolutely worth picking up! Or you can go a bit cheaper and just grab the fragrance mist.
Bath and Body Works Perfect in Pink is available now. I hope it sticks around! It’s a cute little fragrance!
