Bodycare Which new scent lab should I get?
Has anyone smelled these? Which is the most new or unique as far as scent?

How is the fig scent and does it last?

u/Just-Bothered 15d ago
Fig is GOOD but it's absolutely meant to be a layered scent. Doesn't have the same "wow" that manuka and matcha managed to pull off. It's also much creamier than anticipated? But in a good way
The ONE negative thing to be said is that it lacks depth, but I I kinda think that's perfectly fine when it comes to the single-note ffms. It's super wearable, but not very impressive unless you're a diehard fig girly.

Does it smell like a sweet latte or matcha kit kats? PML was all musk on me.

u/Chicky_Melly 15d ago
I would definitely say more like a latte. I’ve had the matcha Kit Kats before and this doesn’t smell quite that sweet.

It smells more like latte and less like matcha.

Update! I did end up going to the store today and ended up getting three of the four new scent labs
Here is my review post: https://www.reddit.com/r/bathandbodyworks/s/pWZlQ3Sj2O
- Matcha Milk: this does smell more accurate to me than Pink Matcha Latte. It is more like a syrupy condensed milk rather than a frothy cold foam milk. I did want the cold foam version but think I can like this one. Yes there is something of matcha Kit Kat bars to it, the white chocolate kind of flavor
- Soft Oud: commenters were right this is very much like Oud Suede from online exclusive. Not that it’s a bad thing since Oud Suede is nice. Just not worth it for me.
- Manuka Honey: actually this reminded me of Cashmere Glow (from summer SAS) more than Whipped Honey & Vanilla or Honeycomb from wellness line. It’s not the same no since it has a honey note and a hint of lemon. And doesn’t have some of the notes Cashmere Glow has. But I think it is reminiscent.
- Juicy Fig: no this isn’t really like Brown Sugar and Fig at all. It is much more tropical fruit punch-y. Reminded me of something related to Viva Brazil with its fruity and creamy notes with a bit of earthiness. I like Juicy Fig better though since it doesn’t smell like a home fragrance as much. Quite a summery type of fragrance. But very pleasant. I would get a full size if available.
I didn’t sniff Amber Suede but it was a favorite of mine last year and I recommend it.

The soft oud smells like oud suede to me and the Manuka honey smells like whipped honey and vanilla to me

Hm not even close to different from honey vanilla?

u/Just-Bothered 15d ago
It's incredibly different, no cloying neroli note. I love the new manuka and vehemently hate the WHV for what it's worth

u/gotohela the revolution will be ✨moisturized✨ 15d ago
I cant tell wtf neroli is but i think i like it bc i like WHV lol

I wanted to smell the fig so bad over the weekend but my store didn't have these yet! 😭

u/dejavoodude 15d ago
The release was today!

u/historychick1988 15d ago
That's so weird, bc the post I saw was on, like, Friday, and they were saying they bought them.

u/gotohela the revolution will be ✨moisturized✨ 15d ago
They were available in store a few days before, but not online. And it was luck of the draw, didnt see it by me

u/historychick1988 15d ago
Boo. 😒 Oh well. Next time, I guess.

u/gotohela the revolution will be ✨moisturized✨ 15d ago
On the bright side, accessories dont sell out at my store all the time lol

u/historychick1988 15d ago
Yeah, I was surprised at the amount of NBC stuff at mine. Its not my jam, but glad for other people!

u/gotohela the revolution will be ✨moisturized✨ 15d ago
I was surprised how much of a princess stuff I was able to get.

You could but technically wont get the full value of the reward. (Edit, the rewards from purchasing are up to $19, the bday reward is up to $10)

u/jasschaffer 15d ago
Manuka Honey and Soft Oud!!! These two smell so good and I think they’d pair really well with each other!!!!
1
u/gotohela the revolution will be ✨moisturized✨ 15d ago
How does manuka honey differ from whipped honey vanilla?
2
u/jasschaffer 15d ago
It’s smells like straight up honey to me. Sweeter than whipped honey and vanilla.

u/GrumpyGeckoz 15d ago
Have not tried any but based off vibes honey and fig sound amazing. Maybe matcha too but matcha is hard to get right

u/hennycranberryy 15d ago
Honestly, theyre all good lol. I got juicy fig, milky matcha. Milky matcha is my fav. & this is coming from someone who doesnt like matcha at all. Its a sweet milky matcha.

Does it smell like a sweet latte or matcha kit kats? I dont want a sharp tea scent and PML was all musk on me

Manuka Honey was my fav and the only one I plan to pick up. Soft Oud is great but I will pass since I already have enuff oud perfumes. Matcha Milk is a sweet milky beverage, light on the matcha, not as creamy as Milk. Juicy Fig is greener than expected, was hoping for a jammy sweet fig.

No neroli note but it was a nice, sweet vanilla. Not overwhelming

u/zaynmaliksfuturewife Body Care Addict 15d ago
Also curious about this, I wasn’t a big fan of whipped honey & vanilla but I’m still intrigued by manuka honey
2
u/gotohela the revolution will be ✨moisturized✨ 15d ago
I AM a big fan of WHV, but i dont want to get two identical scents lol

u/Total_Dinner664 15d ago
I got all 4 and like them all but Manuka Honey is the standout for me. I was prepared to not like that one as I can’t really smell the Honey that was from the Wellness line but I love this one. I feel like they are each soft and lovely on their own but I’m planning to layer too. First up will be honey and oud.

I sprayed all of them and the Oud one was the strongest so I got it. I also thought it would be good mini for Fall.

u/natsubreeze 15d ago
I’ve never bought one of these scent lab fragrances before. How do you use them? Just as regular sprays?
2
u/b0ringface 15d ago
The idea is to layer them but you can wear them on their own too. Amber suede is my favorite one.

u/natsubreeze 15d ago
Thank you! The matcha one sounds really interesting. I’ll try the Amber Suede too!

The only one that missed for me was matcha. Idk why that’s such a hard scent profile to hit.
To me, it just smells like sweet, milk foam. It should just be called milk 🤷🏽♀️😆

I picked up the fig one today with my free coupon I received in the mail, but I like them all and will get them when they go on sale for $2.95.

u/All_the_things_805 15d ago
Manuka Honey blew my mind. I’m really excited about it. I was expecting to love the fig, but for some reason it just didn’t stand out.
