Mine is the body butter. The scent is not too bad. Not one of my favorites but I don't hate it either. Smells quiet fresh. The butter however fell below expectations. Not as moisturizing as I would have liked.

This scent is so fresh, light and citrusy. A nice summer scent for sure! I've only used the lotion, and I absolutely love it. Look around for sales and you can usually get these lotions super cheap.

I like this scent. It's very fresh and citrus-y and I find it is not too heavy. I have the body spray in this, and it's a very clean smell, and it is good if you like light, fruity smells. It's not my absolute favorite, but I probably will get this in an anti-bacterial hand gel as well.

I LOVE this smell!!! So fun and summery, it makes me happy. People comment on it a lot. I have the spray and the antibacterial gel, and I might get the EDT at some point. Highly recommend it if you want something light and summery that makes you feel like YOU are wearing the perfume and not the other way around!

I have the body wash and the body spray for this, and I really like it! The body wash foams nicely and leaves a really nice, refreshing scent. Definitely a mix of floral and citrus, and it smells very crisp and clean. I knocked off a lippy because I think the body spray is a bit too strong for me...but I'll most likely be buying the body wash & lotion again. continued >>

Love this.I love the scent "White Citrus" - which to me smells like a "geen" citrus - a light grassy/lemon-orange-grapefruit (general citrus) with a bamboo note and a soapy dry-down.

The lotionl is very good, but the body cream (butter) is even better - I like the thicker consistency. continued >>

To me, this smells clean and light. I'm very picky about fragrance and "perfumey" smells- I never really wear them anyway. Luckily, this one smells nice but the smell vanishes pretty quickly anyway, so I'm not worried about smelling strongly like "white citrus" all day. I woudlnt get it again, though, as the moisturizing-ness with this (as with all Bath and Body products, I've noticed) is unimpressive. I've used drugstore lotions that moisturize better at a cheaper price.

I find it funny how almost everybody says this is light or faint. My housemate uses this and I can smell it from another floor! In my experience, all bbw scents have this characteristic (or I may just be very sensitive) but I still use their other scents-- lightly.

Scent wise it is not my favorite. This may be because I am not a fan of citrus or that it really is a sharp scent. There are florals to round it out but it still kinda reminds me of household cleaners. As someone else said, I see this as a soap scent and not a whole body scent.

This is, much like the rest of BBW's line, a very simple fragrance. There's not much complexity here, but it's beautiful in its cleanliness, crispness, and freshness. It calls to mind lemon and grapefruit, but it's not sharp; rather, it's soft and rounded and subtle. I love wearing this with my favorite fragrances - Child and Chanel Cristalle Eau Verte - as it doesn't overpower.

Great moisture, great scent, pretty bottle. It's definitely a repurchase for me! But if you're not into the citrusy/floral scents then you probably won't like this.

I bought White Citrus unsniffed and based my decision from the reviews here. I wasn't disappointed with the scent. I'm actually not into citrusy fragrances, but i reach for them on summer. But this one is light and crisp, and Thank God it's not sharp like BBW Rainkissed Leaves which makes me sneeze a lot when I spray it. WC is perfectly balanced citrus scent and body spray lingers on my skin for long time.

Last summer, I smelled this on someone else and asked what she was wearing. I went immediately and bought it. I wasn't crazy about the scent in the bottle and neither was my boyfriend. He said it was awful! So I was a little hesitant about wearing it around him. When I finally did wear it around him, he asked what I was wearing. When I told him, he was so surprised and said it smelled wonderful! Whenever I wear it, I get sooo many compliments FROM MEN. I don't use it alot (I prefer my Simply Basic Vanilla Raspberry) but I might repurchase if I ran out.

I bought this in one of the trial lotion bottles right before the scent debuted last spring. I thought I liked it, but it's just too strong. Certainly citrusy, but irritatingly pervasive. Lots of grapefruit and lime, with a hint of coconut (really, it sounds like something I'd like), it would be nice if it were lighter. Also, not that this is a bad thing, but it actually smells like a men's scent...not something that I would really expect in the signature collection at BBW. Also, filled with chems and parabens, so not something I'll be using.

I have White Citrus Shower Gel and find it very grapefruity with an almost effervescent quality -- reminds me of crisp champagne. Nice, fresh, inoffensive.
I have White Citrus Body Lotion: The scent is very crisp, grapefruit, lemon and lime. The crispness fades and the scent becomes a softer version of itself with a very very subtle hint of warm ginger peeking through at the tail end. I really like the base notes of this fragrance -- like a very very soft and quiet version of White Tea & Ginger. Sadly, I get itchy every time I wear White Citrus lotion.
Overall, I think WC is a nice enough fragrance although I like the idea of the scent more than I like the actual scent. While there isn't anything I specifically dislike about the scent, I guess it just doesn't excite me enough. To me it seems like a citrus scent without much else. And I know that ginger flower note is in there, and maybe it's my nose not working right, but I can barely detect anything other than the citrus top notes so the entire thing ends up being pretty one dimensional for me.
I have tried the Splash and the EDT several times and they both faded quick on me and while they were nice and fresh, I wasn't enchanted or swept away by the scent. continued >>

I'm a fan of BBW lotions and creams, and their White Citrus scent is a winner. It's light enough that I can use it in the summer, a time when I usually don't like using scented products. The aroma is crisp and not too sweet. The scent lingers for quite awhile after I've applied it, especially if I use it after showering with the foaming body wash. It also moiturizes well.

Delicious fragrance. I smell oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, and musk. It is delicious and much more potent than most of the newer fragrances. The smell is so crisp and fresh and inviting. The lotion is creamy and is the most potent of the fragrances, so I bathe with the gel, use the lotion, and then spray. The smell lingers and changes throughout the day and night. I am so glad I found this fragrance.

SO clean and crisp. It has staying power and the scent does not change much as it wears. Paired with the splash is great for a summer clean scent. I wonder if it would be a good under layer for my Origins Ginger Essence EDT.
