Sexy, Warm Alluring!. I never liked bbw scents they mostly smell cheap but this is soooo yummy. It does not last as long as flowerbomb but for the price this is a keeper.

Love the scent and the price- but the scent fades after about an hour or so. I may purchase the body lotion and try layering the products for a more lasting affect. I do get many compliments on the scent after I first apply it.

I haven't been a big fan of BBW's products as I find most of the fragrances overpowering, but I do like the soaps and candles so I was investigating the SAS. First off, I love the packaging of several of the new products, including this EDT (OK, maybe it is just new to me :P). The look is classic without any cheesiness you might expect from mass produced goods. I sprayed this on a whim and could not stop smelling it. I left the store but had to go back and buy this since it was *very* reminiscent of one of my favorite fragrances, Flowerbomb. It is not an exact dupe, I find SA to be less flowery and sweeter, and not as strong or as long lasting. But, I can't afford F (which is around $100 a bottle I think) and this is a much more affordable substitute (less than $20 for a bottle). The smell is very comforting and definitely a success for BBW!

This is a nice EDT for the price. It does smell more sophisticated for a BBW frangrance as someone mentioned below. Doesn't last but it smells good when first sprayed on.

Good stuff! Totally agree that this smells like 'Flowerbomb'. My only gripe is that I wish this lasted longer. I will try layering to see if that helps. Definately worth purchasing as an alternative to the VERY expensive Flowerbomb!

As a now ex Bath and Body Works employee, this was one of my least favorite scents when I started working there. When I left, it was quite the opposite. I sprayed it on one day after I quit not really thinking about it and came home. My boyfriend instantly asked me what I was wearing as soon as I walked in the door. Now, this is my favorite scent, while Sweet Pea and Warm Vanilla Sugar move to my HATE list.

Oh, and a little secret about the sales associates, we're TOLD to say that everything is our favorite, and that we HATE nothing.

I love this scent, its much more sophisticated than other scents from B&B works. Nice and warm, with just a slight hint of sweetness. It's long lasting, and not too overpowering. The packaging is a step up as well.

I never bothered to sniff this one because I assumed because of the name it would probably be exactly like VS Amber Romance. I went through a period of loving that one only to get sick of it. VS fragrances are to heavy for me I have found out. Anyway, as I was picking up my brown sugar & fig, I sniffed the lotion on this one. So different from Amber Romance. So much better!! I like the caramely scent of this one much better. IMO, it's not as strong as a scent of AR but a sweeter softer scent. I picked up a gift set of the lotion and a full size edt off of ebay for about $8 so it's quite the steal. I'm really anxious to try the others in the Amber line. I hav e to say that when I layer the edt with the lotion it lasts almost all day on me. I have found so far that BBW edt & lotions are quite a steal pricewise.

at first i thought it smelled like dirt...honest! but then i waited for the dry down, and THAT smelled great!! its a very warm,comforting, yet sexy smell. I read somewhere that the bast fragrance to wear to bed with your lover (thats almost a direct quote,lol) is vanilla and amber. I've laways gravitated towards fruity,foody smells that are light. so this was a surprise to me when i found myself liking it! ive received so many compliments on this scent from both males and females. My best friend at work always rus up to me to give me a hug because she loves it on me but doesnt smell good on her.

Bought for $10 with a coupon

I'm really glad so many people found a scent they love that costs a reasonable amount: So many perfumes are outrageous. This one didn't really work for me, though. I can only wear certain ambers, and those I love (Ambre Russe, Ambre Sultan), but this one was a bit soapy and plain on me. It didn't do anything but lay there smelling sharp and a bit woody. It had the benefit of not being sour or cloying, however, so it gets points for that. Still, I have to give it a pass. By the number of perfect reviews below, however, I can see it won't shed any tears over my indifference. EDIT: Tried again after a couple of years and I get tons of fruit over soft incense and wood notes. Either my chemistry has changed or I got a better sample this time. There's no appreciable amber in it anywhere, but it's really pretty nevertheless!
