Omg!! This smells like pink lemonade.. Its just so yummy, fresh and bubbly. I get compliments everywhere I go. My best friend even said that whenever she smells it she just starts craving lemon cookies. I highly recommend this to anyone, and I would gladly buy it again.

This scent is yummy sweet like pink sugar without the burned smell. I really like it initially but it's not something I can endure wearing every day. The cheapness starts creeping in when it dries down to a strong synthetic room deodorizer. Smells great from the bottle though

It's just alright. Not a strong smell. I liked it at first but after a week or two I was REALLY sick of it and couldn't stand it anymore! This smell gets old easily.

Sweet on Paris is the clear winner in the Paris line. I wasn't too fond of Paris in Bloom, and both Paris Amore & Paris Nights were nice but nothing special. I tend to gravitate toward gourmand scents anyway, so it's no wonder I picked up Sweet on Paris. The first note I smell is a cross between lemon and blackberry -- it's not tart enough to be a true lemon nor rich enough to be pure blackberry...it's just sort of a sweet blend of the two. It dries down softly to a flaky, delicate pastry, which gives it its sweetness. I just wish it was a tad stronger! Otherwise, beautiful scent. Wish it was a permanent.

this one is one of my all time favorites from BBW-it smells like meringue with sugar and fruit on top. I absolutely love it and wish it was permanent because I would love to have edt in this as well. I have regular Paris Amour also but these two are very different as Paris Amour has more floral notes.
I used up half of my bottles of lotion and spray so what am I going to do when I am out?:(

I love this scent. It smells like berry flavored cotton candy! The packaging is sooo cute. I wish it wasn't limited edition.

I'm trying to move away from super sweet gourmands (or at least from the ones that just have one or two generic notes), but I couldn't resist this one. Initially, Sweet on Paris smells like cotton candy, and, as the description says, lemon meringue and blackberries (the blackberry note is evident when you smell the lotion from the bottle; not as much with the mist). This all dries down to the curious scent of sweet pastries in a bakery. The lotion is a little strong, but the fine fragrance mist is perfect, and both of them have awesome staying power. I only wish that this line was part of BBW's permanent collection!

[BATH & BODY WORKS SERIES PREQUEL] I’m a closet Francophile, and I do quite like B&BW’s original Paris Amour, so I was fairly happy when its three spinoff scents were launched. I bought this one in the sample size body lotion, thinking it had done the most right, especially with the lemon meringue notes--huge fan of anything lemony, and they sell a C.O. Bigelow lemon perfume in the same store that‘s the 100% diggity--but once it had cooked into my skin for a while it was just plain…rank. Like the fruit in it had spoiled, which is a hazard with fruity scents and me, sadly. But in this case it’s not just my specific chemistry, because I bought one for my mom, too--who has a much easier time smelling edible than I do--and pretty much forgot about it until I was driving her to her PT appointment one day and thought, “Dude, where is that STANK coming from?” Not wanting to be a d*ck, I asked her what perfume she had on, and she was like, “It’s that French Dessert stuff you gave me.” Pardon? “From Bath & Body Works, in the little green bottle.” Oh, right. No wonder, then.

Very girly lemony vanilla scent. I have the body mist and I like it (not as much as Paris amour though!). The bottle looks cute on my vanity. It being a LE and all wouldn't give me the opportunity to repurchase but I don't think I would given the chance. The scent is nice but other BBW scents are better in my opinion.

Gorgeous bottle, smells AMAZING, and I receive compliments every single time I wear it! I LOVE that the product is glittery. And the glitter stays on my skin all day. Love this product so much and will definitely have to stock up on it before it is discontinued.

I have the original Paris Amore, and I like it ... But it's not anything special, in my opinion. I'll gladly use up the products I own in this fragrance, but I definitely won't repurchase.

I was overall underwhelmed by the Paris in Love line. None of the three fragrances smell bad, but I thought that Paris in Bloom was a really standard (but soft and not unpleasant) floral that didn't have much personality, and I thought that Paris Nights was too much like the original Paris Amore to justify buying it. Sweet on Paris is by far my favorite of the three!

Sweet on Paris is probably the best gourmand that Bath and Body Works has released in quite a while. It's definitely sweet and dessert-like, but it's not overpowering at all. It's a very feminine gourmand. If I had to describe it, I would honestly say that it's a dessert version of Country Chic. BBW's website doesn't have any floral notes listed for this, but I definitely smell a hint of some, because there's a slight powdery softness in this. That softness mixed with the lemon meringue makes me think of Country Chic! It's a nice blend!

I'd say that Sweet on Paris is good for almost the entire year. I think it's warm and sweet enough for Fall and Winter, and I think it's soft and delicate enough for Spring. It might be too much for the Summer, but I think it can be pulled off if you don't spray yourself liberally with it.

Overall, I'd really like for this to become a part of the permanent line, but BBW usually discontinues everything *I* like. Haha. I guess I have to stock up!

Oh my goodness. This scent is wonderful! Since a lot of my bath and body works favorites have been discontinued. I finally found a scent I really like!
I gave it 4 lippies out of 5 because I know this won't be a permanent addition.
It's really sweet. I can smell vanilla, lemon and some other goodies. It kind of reminds me of the lemon vanilla. (Sad to see it go) If you like sweet smells, this one is for you. At least try to go into the store and smell it, you won't be disappointed! :)
I'm defiantely going to most likely hoard this one cause it smells oh so GOOD!

This is how you do a gourmand/bakery scent!! I truly cannot believe how much I love this since I go for more oriental/spciy/woodsy perfumes. If you don't typically like sweet scents, you might want to try this, it's very delicate and complex...not that "knock you out vanilla" BBW likes to use, nor it is super sweet like a cupcake. This is very delicate, like a lemon cookie you might enjoy with a cup of tea. BBW has really amazed me with this one:)

Scent description reads "enticing medley of juicy blackberry, lemon meringue and creamy vanilla, inspired by the sweet temptations of a Parisian patisserie."
All 3 ritual products blend together well and I enjoy using them all, which is rare. There is usually one that smells off or the notes vary so much that it doesn't seem to go with the other 2 items. .


Shower gel: I definitely get more of the blackberry in this. It's very refreshing and a good wake-up scent for your AM shower.
Lotion: The lemon really stands out in this...it's definitely lemon meringue. no one is going to mistake this lotion for lemon household cleanser, it's more complex than that.
Fine Fragrance Mist: smells like a raspberry lemonade the first 10 minutes, but then it dries down to a lovely, soft warm lemon cookie scent. Not too vanilla-ish, not super cupcake sweet.


I'd previously tried Be Enchanted and liked it in lotion, but when using the body spray it became too sugary smelling and gave me a headache. This is a step up from that sort of ripe fruit/sweet blend of Be Enchanted. This is truly a refreshing yet comforting and fun scent. The pacakging is absoutely adorable. I am not your typical "girly girl" so for me to call something adorable means I that I am crazy about it...which I am! I believe this will be limited edition, so definitely stock up while you can!
