What’s That Smell?

By now, I’m sure you know that the Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is on. I’ve shied away from this sale for the past few years, because I found myself in serious smelly lotion overload.

I mean, it was GOOD smelly. But still. I don’t need 10 different scents taunting me each morning.

ANYWAY. I stopped in over the weekend to stock up on some more hand soap (which, by the way, they have lots of yummy scents for $2.50 and lots MORE for just $1.75. That’s my kind of sale!). On my way to the soap bin, I passed a pretty yellow bottle. What could THAT be, I thought?

Bath and Body Works Lemon Vanilla. Image from Amazon.com, but I'm willing to bet it was originally lifted from BathandBodyWorks.com. JUST A GUESS.

It’s Bath and Body Works Lemon Vanilla, and it is AWESOME. I sniffed it out, expecting to find something akin to lemon Pledge, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s sweet without smelling like a box of Fruity Pebbles, a little musky without smelling like a granny… I picked up a lotion, body wash and fragrance mist for under $10. I can smell it all day long (but not like WOAH), so the layering seems to be a good trick. HIGHLY recommend.

This particular scent isn’t available online, but be sure to check out your local store to see if they have it. Look for the 75% off signs, and have fun!

I am a recovering Bath and Body Works addict, and this selection may have been my gateway back into the dark side. Thanks a lot, Lemon Vanilla.
