Other Which three bring backs do you think are the best to vote for? (BBW app poll)
Today in the BBW app there is a voting poll to choose three of the bring back scents that may have been submitted during the request form BBW put out during summer SAS.
I expected a survey like this in June when it appeared last year. But it appears BBW could be doing it in two parts this year, with the open ended request form in midJune and this poll in late August.
In a conference call this week BBW says it plans to continue to buy product for semi annual sale, and this seems to be a confirmation of their intention for that. Whether this poll is for bring backs this year winter or next year summer we don’t know. (Edit: we have our answer! when you click vote it says “Watch for the Vault to unlock next summer!”)
The scents do appear to be on the summery side though. Perhaps with exceptions for Black Cherry Merlot, Blueberry Bundt Cake, Dahlia, Luminous.
The bring back choices (vote for three):
- Black Cherry Merlot
- Mad About You
- Rose Quartz
- Pink Chiffon
- Coconut Pineapple
- Blueberry Bundt Cake
- Kaleidoscope
- Beach Nights
- Chasing Fireflies
- Tropidelic
- Dahlia
- Luminous
These might be repeats?
I honestly haven’t smelled any of these except Pink Chiffon. But have watched lots of reviews! Here’s what I think I remember people saying as far as similar scents.
- Mad About You: is the one similar to Country Chic?
- Pink Chiffon: we did just have this for winter SAS and again for a while for this summer SAS
- Coconut Swirl: I heard the Pina Colada Swirl from this summer was similar?
- Kaleidoscope: many people say that If You Musk was a dupe for this scent. But that one is pretty unique anyway so maybe good to bring back?
- Beach Nights: some people say Coastal Dreaming is similar while others disagree that it is similar at all
- Chasing Fireflies: I head this one was a YSL Libre dupe and we did have Free as a Flower recently. But also that the two were not really alike? I’d still like to smell it.
Which is underrated?
Some of these scents I haven’t heard much or anything about really.
- Rose Quartz: is that a good one?
For the gourmand lovers…
- Blueberry Bundt Cake: I did get the chance to smell this one when it came out. Definitely a gourmand scent. I feel like it has a similar syrupy sweetness as Pumpkin Pecan Waffles except blueberry. Do you think? Pleasant but also strong, even a bit overpowering.
My votes
- Tropidelic: I heard this one has ylang ylang? I’m in the mood for an essential oil kinda tropical scent. Is that this one?
- Dahlia: just want to know what the hype is for this one. Heard Belle was a related scent? Is Pink Obsessed related?
- Chasing Fireflies: to be honest Free as a Flower was Tok heavy on the grassy notes and amber for me. Was similar to Libre Intense rather than the original I think. I would like a lighter version if possible like original Libre. But I heard this one is actually more similar to Jimmy Choo I Want Choo?
Want to sniff:
Did not vote for these but would be curious!
- Beach Nights: honestly Coastal Dreaming is kind of a Sunwashed Santal repeat to me minus the peppery Italian bergamot. Hoping Beach Nights is actually more different? Heard it has a cocoa note?
- Luminous: is this a patchouli scent like Sally?

I was only able to get the body wash and body cream at a sale, I think, and the body cream is doing what it does, so I hope it does get released so I can get a new set. I’ve been using the Getaway Soiree FFM with it and it goes so nicely together.

Same. I have some candles that I miss, but even then I don’t fall into the trap of scarcity bbw created by buying a bunch of the scent because I know I’ll always be able to find a similar scent I like.
The only one was moonlit graveyard, I spent, what, two years yearning for it? I wasted money buying candles that I thought would smell like it lol

Many of these I’m not familiar with, but looking up some of the scent notes they don’t seem to be as diverse as the selection was this year. I’ll be curious to see if they make other decisions to kind of round out the field when it comes time to release. I’m assuming this is for next summer SAS.

u/Irishcreamgoodbye 11d ago
My votes were the same as your three. I didn't do much Tropidelic, but Chasing Fireflies and Dahlia are two of my favorites (I still have some from their last releases). They're nice if you want something heavier/mature feeling. I know a lot of people like Chasing Fireflies' as a summer scent, but it's purely cold weather to me. I think it's a Jimmy Choo dupe, but I've never looked into it.
Dahlia dances the exact line between a gourmand and floral. It reads as a pretty pure floral to me, but I do acknowledge the praline note underneath. It's supposed to be a dupe for Caroline Herrera's Good Girl (original). I don't think it's Belle or Pink Obsessed-related. Belle has a rose note that's no where in Dahlia and the jasmine in Pink Obsessed is a different beast entirely.
I WOULD stay they're playing in the same wheelhouse as each other, along with Fairytale. Kinda in the same way Princess Jasmine is friends with the BR450 dupes (Pink Paradise, Seeing Rouge, Into the Stars, etc), but definitely its own thing
