I am SO DISAPPOINTED that Bath and Body Works discontinued this line!!! This scent (along with the frosting one) was to DIE FOR, a strong bourbony sweetness that lingered on and on all day! It works ok as a shampoo or bubble bath (nothing spectacular), but makes a very creamy body wash.

I really like this body wash/shampoo eventhough I only use it as the former. The smell is pleasant and not too strong. I think I love the name more than anything. It foams very well also. I purchased this for half price so I'm thrilled. BBW please bring back the Tempations line we beg of you.

Holy Bubble Bath, Batmam! This is by FAR my favorite Fall Temptation...

I used it as both a shower gel and shampoo today and can I just say YUM?

There isn't much of a scent linger in my bathroom (the most I have gotten is from the Spiced Apple Rapture). However, my skin and hair smell like HEAVEN. I smell vanilla mixed with a brown sugar caramel, with a slight nuttiness from the "Pecan", with some spices in the background.

I want to eat my hand right now!

I'm stocked up for a good long time, because sadly, all Temptations have been discontinued. At least I'll still be able to sniff this wonderful product!

This is supposed to smell like a slice of pecan pie but all I get is a perfume flowery scent to it. I'm really disappointed, I was hoping I would get at least a caramel note to it or something. I like it as a shampoo, because it does have a shampoo-ey smell (if that makes sense), and I did only pay $1.20 for it at the SAS. I would purchase 3-in-1s again in different scents. This one is just not that great.

I bought this after I realized I'm addicted to the lotion. I don't use it for shampoo, but it works wonderfully as a shower gel.

I am usually a fan of nutty fragrances. I will jump at any chance to purchase almonds, carmelized pralines, and the list goes on. In one word, this fragrance just left something to be desired. There is a very slight almost like sour milk under note that lingers in the background here. It is just off and I am happy that I only purchased the small 4 oz. tester bottle. If BBW can reformulate this fragrance with a little more pie crust, butter and in it and perhaps a little vanilla , and a little less brown sugar I think they would be on to something. I won't repurchase because the fragrance of this really turns me off.

The shower gel itself performs nicely with a great lather and is not drying so I am giving it an extra lippie based on that and not the fragrance.

This scent is out again this year because I just got one! BBW had a coupon promo going on so I picked this out for free. This is a yummy sweet foody scented body wash. It lathers up nicely and leaves my skin feeling nice and hydrated. This is a great fall scent.

I didn't care for the color or scent of this one. I do not care for brown body wash- this has the color of clay/mud. It had a burnt smell to me- burnt pecans.

i own the 3-and-1 and the lotion in pecan passion and i didn't think i'd like this scent at first because i generally stay away from food scents but i tried this one and i must admit, i love it! it doesn't really smell like pecans to me though, to me it's more cinnamon cookie smelling to my nostrils but i love this product nonetheless. will definitely try to scoop up more when they are on sale!

Claim to Fame: * The alluring and indulgent blend of rich brown sugar, warm pecan and whipped vanilla cream. * A body wash, bubble bath and shampoo all in one. * With conditioning pro-vitamin B5. Get Real: I can't actually smell the brown sugar, pecan and vanilla cream separately... but I was never good at that anyway. This smells suspiciously like cinnamon buns, or whatever treacly treats B+BW makes into body washes come Christmastime. Also, I'm actually glad it's full of chemicals because I'm allergic to any natural nut oil extracts. As with all B+BW, I'm wary with using this as a shampoo, and I never take baths so I'm not sure how it fares as a bubble bath. But as a body wash, it's pure decadence. I love using it to shave, too. The bottle lasts forever and I got it on sale for $6 after Christmas. Score!

I would have preferred if this had a more nutty scent to it...it is more of a general sweet bakery type scent. Not bad, but I don't feel inclined to repurchase ever really. It works well as a body wash and shampoo. I couldn't really tell the difference between this one and the other sweet scents that B&BW had out this winter.

Yummy!!! I am so glad they decided to rerelease this in the new line. I got the matching lotion back in November, but there was no 3 in 1 left. This smells like warm vanilla and toffee mixed together. It works nice as a shampoo, and body wash, ( I haven't tried it as a bubble bath.) I see this as a more winter/fall scent and will probably save it for them and use my fruity and floral scents for now, but I still totally recommend.

This product smells absolutely divine. I normally dislike food scented body products, but this is just too tasty to resist. It works great as a body wash, but I would not reccomend it as a bubble bath. I don't plan to use it as a shampoo, but if I do I will update my review. It's a LE so I sought it out on Ebay after using it at a friends. If you like pecan pie, give this a try!!

This smells so yummy, just like pecan pie! I love the fact that this doesn't have that artificial chemical smell like most cheap low quality body washes. This smells great and I use it both as a shampoo and body wash.

I really enjoy the fragrance of this 3 in 1, but I don't think it smells like pecan pie. It smells more like browned butter & burnt sugar. It lathers well and works great for body wash and even works well for shampoo. The soap itself is also quite pretty; it has a pearlescent shimmer to it.

I also use this to fill up my refillable decorative soap dispensers in my bathrooms. Although it is a bit pricey to use as hand soap, I enjoy it, it's a conversation piece for my guests, and kids just love it. The fun scents and pearlescent shimmer of these soaps encourage children to wash their hands regularly without having to resort to ruining your decor with tacky "Barbie Princess" and "Tickle Me Elmo" soap dispensers.

I enjoyed this one for about two showers. Then it smelled sickening to me. Of course in the meantime I had bought the lotion, the lip gloss, and some spray because I thought I loved the scent. It's weird because I often like sweet scents. There is something in this that smells buttery, and I think that is what turned me off.

HORRIBLE. I don't know if mine was rotten or what, but it smelled *good* in the bottle, when i poured it onto my hands to lather--OMG..nothing like pecan, but pure plastic. I am taking this back tomorrow. Smells soooo gross. I wanted to love this =(

Yummlicious!! To my nose, I can smell the brown sugar, creamy caramel, and sweet pecan in this bodywash. It's just sooo delicious in the shower! The formula is also moisturizing and lathers well, and the packaging is super cute. Generous amount as well for the price. Works well as a shampoo too (though too drying on a daily basis). Great stuff!

This smells exactly like Pecan Pie. Soooo yummmy! I've used it 3 ways - Bubble Bath, Body Wash & Shampoo. Bubble Bath it is okay not my fave but I usually don't take baths much, but makes the water smell nice and has a bit of lather and bubbles. Body Wash is my fave b/c it lathers really well and leaves a bit of lingering scent. Love! Shampoo is pretty good too but I try not to use it too often since I should probably use something better so my hair doesn't dry out, but it's really nice and makes my hair smell edible. Love! I would like to buy again, but I'm struggling to finish the 16oz bottle I have so I may get sick of it after I'm done, but I'm nowhere close to that.
