After spraying it on for the first time, I quickly smelled that play dough smell and was disappointed. I thought I wasted my money. But once it dried down, it completely went away and got something unexpected. The dry-down has a soft creamy scent that's comforting and gentle without smelling like cheap perfume. This scent is a light, casual smell and never overpowering. It's smells really good that I spray it on myself at home just so I can get a constant whiff! My boyfriend likes it too, and I could safely say this scent is guy approved, based on others reviews too. I will repurchase for sure. I'm only giving this a 4 because of the lasting power, and that they really should sell this in-store.

It's sort of like a warm floral play-dough scent. I really love it! Haven been through 2 bottles and have two more in my stash

It's a lot like Dior Hypnotic Poison or one of the Kenzo perfumes... mostly the Dior perfume. I think this came out at BBW around the same time as the Dior, so they may or may not be a copy. The scent just reminds me of the late 90's or early 2000's. It's soft, warm, cozy, and inviting.. something is a little food-like rice pudding perhaps.

This is easily one of the best subtle scents BBW has. It reminds me of the old Warm Vanilla Sugar (before the formula change), but without the sugar. It's a soft scent that's not too sweet or too strong, and still manages to be far from boring. It's probably not the kind of scent you'd wear as perfume or anything, just as a pleasant everyday scent. Definitely one of my favorites out of the Classics line.

One of my favorites. I find it very warm and comforting... a light vanilla, not too musky, relaxing but doesn't make me drowsy. A lighter version of "warm vanilla sugar", which sometimes gives me a headache and smells too heavy on a hot day.
My husband loves this one on me, and once went out to get a new bottle for me when it wasn't on sale haha. I don't really get a "play-doh" scent... my young daughter doesn't smell that either.

I purchased this sight-unsniffed solely based on the reviews here and I am beyond pleased with this product. The fragrance is nearly identical to milk and honey scented bath products -but with a little citrus kick and not cloying as I find all milk & honey bath products terribly sickening. It's a sweet, doughy or starchy, skin scent that warms up into an airy Egyptian musk. I don't think it smells of Play Doh. I have little girls and thus tons of Play Doh in the house! I prefer the Classics packaging to the new Signature packaging. I also purchased the body cream and it is identical to the fragrance. I wear musks and chypres almost exclusively. This is a nice 'cleanse the palate' kinda fragrance. Will definitely repurchase.

The name doesn't exaclty sound interesting, so I don't know if they've had this before and I just never smelled it, but I found this at the bottom of the one of the bins during the semi annual sale and I like it, but I think reading the reviews of it ruined it for me! When I got it I loved it, but after people said it smelled like Playdoh, now that's all I think about when I wear it lol. It's not a bad scent, and i don't think it smells EXACTLY like playdoh but there is a resemblance. To me it actually has a salty note to it (like playdoh) and reminds me more of a 'beach in a bottle' than a scent like Seaspray that is supposed to resemble the beach! I guess the creaminess in the scent reminds me of suntan lotion a tiny bit and that mixed with the playdoh smell reminds me of sand and laying at the beach.
It's not crazily strong (especially if you don't spray alot) so I'd recommend trying it if you like to have alot of things in your fragrance collection.

This is one of my absolute favorite B&BW scents! Its not overly sweet, just enough, and smells amazing once it warms to your skin. I would describe it as similar to Kenzo Amour, but without the overpowering incense notes - just the lovely rice pudding element (which I vastly prefer :) It's a sweet, comforting scent that I love for fall and winter. Hopefully they never discontinue this one!

I think this is another one that b&bw brings in occasionally and then hides it for a while lol. I like this because it's not over powering, just a nice light smell. I tend to wear this more in the summer time, just because it's so light I dont get chased by any bugs (Fl summers mean bugs!).

This gets a 3 because although I do not like it, I dont find it assaulting.
It is pure play-doh. Nothing more...nothing less.

I love this fragrance! Unlike many of bbw other fragrances, which smell cheap and/or overwhelming, this one is light and rather sophisticated. Very good if you like subtly sweet scents.

I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE! I often get migraines from fragrances, and I was so excited that I was able to find something that I could wear. It is quite a bargain as it only $4 at the semiannual sale. I plan on going back to buy a couple of more, as I find myself wearing this every day.

This by far is my favorite BBW scent. It's a warm smell, a sort of vanilla-ish smell. It is not too strong, too young or too overwhelming, just a nice, stay at home, sit and read a book on the couch with hot chocolate scent. My old roommate said the lotion smelled like play-doh to her, and I do have to agree a little.

Yummo! I love this fragrance. It is very warm, but I enjoy it even on the hottest of days. It reminds me a lot of Kenzo Amour due to the steamed rice notes, but this has little or no floral notes; it is all about the rice. I have also heard comparisons to Casmir by Chopard but I don't see the resemblance. It has a quality very remniscent of Play-Doh, but a good non-plasticky Play-Doh. It dries down to a warm vanilla musk similar to that of WVS but with a touch of coconut. This is second only to Japanese Cherry Blossom in lasting power: it is still by BBW so it is not very good, but it is way better than most.

I really like this as a basic everyday scent. I was so thrilled when I saw it at the semi annual sale, so I stocked up then. This is so clean and classy to me. Great neutral smell. The shea is lovely. I don't think this smells like play doh at all. I love it!

I don't like most B&BW scents because they're too sweet. The ones I like best are the Japanese Cherry Blossom and Sensual Amber. I got this in the annual sale and I love it. It's a light smell that's kinda vanilla-ish and creamy and just a little sweet. It has decent staying power, I still smell it a little 3 hours later.

It's nice, not extraordinary...a little more sweet/vanilla-ish/creamy than I expected from the reviews. I didn't smell x-treme Play Doh; rather, it's a soft, calm, basic sugary scent, quite relaxing, but not the best thing you've ever smelled...and of course the smell doesn't last from any of the products. That's okay, though; the splash is cheap enough to spray frequently. This is a "nice" fragrance, but nothing better.

This is one of my favorite BBW scents and I'm sad to see it go. It's a very nice Vanilla/Nutty/Creamy fragrance, very soft without being powdery or too cloying/sweet. Hopefully they'll bring it back (otherwise I'm scouring ebay for it!!)
