"Romantic fragrance, Carried Away, is inspired by the way love sweeps you off your feet" Does this lotion make me feel like that? No. It's really strong and sometimes gives me a headache, and I only use that for my hands.
This lotion is supposed to have Lush Raspberries, White Jasmine and Whipped Vanilla. I can smell a lot of floral tones, a tiny bit of vanilla, but no raspberries! If there were more vanilla and raspberries, it would make this lotion my top favorites. I wished it was more fruity and light, and less floral. I guess I not much of a floral girl.
I probably should stop get lotions that are mainly floral if they always get negative reviews from me....

I really believe that some fragrances have unique chemical reactions with each person's skin. I've had lotions/perfumes that smelled delightful on others, but after a while of wearing it myself, the scent grew sour on me. Well, Carried Away loves my skin! When I smelled it from the bottle, it was fruity and florally - reminded me of candy for some reason, I didn't think too much of it, but when I put it on my skin, the scent was refreshing, and over time it turns into something very lovely and sweet. For some reason, I've received so many compliments from ppl when I wear this. I had one nice woman even stop me in a store, and ask me what my perfume was because she liked it. Also everytime I put it on, my boyfriend says how nice I smell. I've even had someone STEAL the lotion from my totebag! I've worn other fragrances, and never receive any compliments. Only this lotion does it. Personally it's my favorite. And the scent is pretty long lasting but not overwhelming. I've got a large size, and little travels I carry in my purse. :)

Bath&BodyWork's Carried Away Body Lotion's scent is inspired by the way love sweeps you off your feet. Bath&BodyWorks describes the scent as a romantic blend of raspberries, white jasmine, and whipped vanilla. Bath&BodyWorks lotion's feature a jojoba oil, vitamin e, and shea butter infused formula that's non-greasy and fast absorbing. They call it the perfect daily moisturizer. Bath&BodyWorks products are cruelty free and made in the USA. I purchased my 3fl oz bottle for $3.33 on a 3/$10 deal, but you can purchase a travel sized bottle individually for $5, or upsize to a 8fl oz bottle for $11.
Carried Away comes in a translucent, light blue plastic bottle in the same, usual, curvy shape of Signature Line products. The pop up cap is baby blue and seems to plug up easily. Carried Away's imagery is very pretty and feminine, but also abstract and whimsical. Flowers, made of smaller flowers, float upwards in a blue sky with light, fluffy white clouds in the background. Purple ribbons spell out Carried Away in cursive. The back label simply features the ingredient list.
Carried Away was released last year around Valentine's Day and has proven it's self quite popular. Despite it's popularity, make consider it a love it or leave it scent. Other's find it far too similar to current and past Signature Collection scents. Personally, I find it quite similar to both Charmed Life and Sweet Pea, both scents I'm quite fond of.

Because of the variety of scent notes, Carried Away is easy to match up with lots of other scents, I really like wearing it with Avon's long discontinued Plumeria, or their current Cherry Blossom.
The lotion is standard to Bath&BodyWorks; white, thin, fast to absorb, and non greasy. This lotion moisturizes adequately and leaves your skin feeling comfortable and healthy. The scent doesn't linger on the skin for more than an hour or two, which can easily be fixed by layering. But don't go too hard, of else you'll be a walking headache inducer. Carried Away is just that kind of scent.
I really like Carried Away and recommend it if you're a fan of Charmed Life, Sweet Pea, or raspberry yogurt. It's a sweet, girly, young scent that's fun to wear, but is very easy to go overboard on. It may not be the most wearable of Bath&BodyWorks' scents, but it's definitely the most playful. The name, imagery, and concept are adorable and suit the scent very well. This is a new favorite, and I plan to purchase the body spray next time I hit up B&BW.

I've been a BBW shopper for as long as I can remember, and while this scent didn't stink or set off my allergies, I just couldn't get over the fact that it was...well, boring. It smelled floral and a tad fruity, lathered up just like all the other body washes I've gotten, but the scent seemed like it had been done before, and it was nothing special. Not buying this again

The lotion smells exactly like the fragrance mist, floral, fruity and fresh. My sister really likes it, and so do I.

Tried on the lotion, it smells really nice in the bottle, light and fruity, a little like strawberries and flowers. Once I wore it, the sweet wore off and it was just light floral, which was alright, then the floral wore off and it was just soapy and really bland. It wasn't headache-inducing or particularly gross, but I didn't like it. Which is a shame, because if had smelled like it did straight out of the bottle, I would love it.

I got a sample bottle of this free from BBW and right off just loved the packaging. It is very girly and fun. The scent is very floral and not really what I was expecting. The name, Carried Away, made me think this would smell like a warm breeze on a spring day. This smells more like you are in a flower garden then anything else. It is a very sweet smell and can feel like a little too much. Overall it is not a bad lotion or scent and would be good to use when you are not planning on wearing any other scents. I would probably use it in the summer when perfume can feel like a little too much. This would be just right at that time.

Carried away is a nice scent, but it does howeever seem very forgettable and just overall plain. I do kind of agree with some people that have stated it kind of smells like yogurt. It's alright but not something I would buy again.

I actually have the Carried Away body wash, and I prefer it in the shower. I think it's too sweet to wear all day, but it just leaves a light dusting of fragrence after you shower and I love that!

I really love the smell of this lotion in the bottle - sweet with a very small floral undertone, and I personally despise floral. On my skin, it comes out maybe a little more floral than it does in the bottle, but it's still nice. I like the wear it without any perfume on anyway because the smell itself is light but strong enough that others notice and compliment it. The packaging on this is also gorgeous.

I was disappointed in this scent, and I really wanted to like it. I liked the way it smelled in the bottle--creamy, vanilla-infused raspberry and pear, but on me it just smelled bitter and cloying. I actually had people complain when I sat next to them at the theatre!

So, I returned this and got the old standby Warm Vanilla Sugar.

I got a card in the mail previewing this fragrance and a free travel size coupon. I went to the mall and picked up a free bottle of this scent, as it was new and smelled pretty in the bottle. Upon rubbing the lotion in, I pick up raspberry notes- sweet but not sickly, and as it dries a floral sweet smell lingers. I normally hate florals but this one is sweet- just not candy sweet, if that makes sense. Overall I do like it, but it is not something I am dying to buy again. If I had another coupon, I'd consider buying the full sizes.
