This is my second review of this body spray because I discovered something great... (I think it is, anyway!)... I applied some of the BBW holiday classic Vanilla Bean Noel body lotion, then spritzed on the Brown Sugar & Fig body spray and... VOILA! Something magical happened! The buttery vanilla mingles with the peppery fig and the resulting scent is amazing and delicious! The "butter" subdues the bitterness, and the "pepper" tones down the somewhat over-the-top sweetness. It seems to bring out the maple and makes for a really lovely and cuddly Fall/Winter fragrance.
I FEEL PRETTY! :) If you have both, try it out and see what you think!
I love this scent in the lotion and body wash form. It's my go-to for trips because it's masculine enough to share with my boyfriend without hearing complaints of smelling too "girly". Also great on camping trips since it smells earthy and sweet without attracting unwanted insect attention!
I smell it too - rubber latex. Too bad. I can smell the coconut and fig but it's ruined by the quick onset of rubber. Either there are a lot of bad bottles out there or this frag has some seriously weird notes.
a nice day perfume. light and casual. a sweet perfume with mild woody and freesia notes. the fig is prominant. not too long lasting on me, just a couple of hours, but i don't mind that in a daywear scent.
Body spray review. I'm not sure if I have a bad bottler or if it is just my nose. I can smell the yummy fig and the carmel, but there is something in this that smells like rubber latex to me. My mom doesn't smell it. I really would never want to buy this again. It lasts about 3-4 hours with several sprays, and I think is best for fall and winter use.
The lotion smells yummy but the EDT spray has this weird, plastic smell almost like latex gloves. Good thing I only bought the mini perfume. The lotion is a nice, syrupy-sweet foody scent for cold weather. (It's too cloying for hot temperatures.) It's not my favorite but the fig makes this fragrance more interesting than Warm Vanilla Sugar IMO.
This is the only fig scent I have ever enjoyed. It's strong ties to caramel and vanilla explain why I probably found it enjoyable. Very nice warm and fuzzy fig scent that smelled almost edible.
This is a favorite; it's such a beautiful fragrance. I alternate between this and Sensual Amber in the fall and winter months, and I tend to pick this when I want something a bit cleaner and lighter along with being sexy and warm. It's exotic and unique, but still fresh and could definitely be worn in the spring and summer if you wanted, though as I said, I prefer this in the fall and winter.
I get a lot of earthy fig and coconut, along with a very soft vanilla and bright caramel. Just so pretty!
My mother used to make a rum enfused pound cake.... if I took that cake, topped it with caramelized brown sugar and dried figs, it would smell like this. YUMMY!
Nom nom! A very soft and sweet tropical fig fragrance! I had the lotion and body spray until my boyfriend jacked it! You'd think it was a female fragrance but with the natural musk in his chemistry it smells different. A lot of people say its discontinued in stores but they have the lotion, body wash and spray for $3 online! Think I'm going to stock up for him.
Think I must've been ripped off when I purchased this from an eBay seller because I can scarcely smell any fragrance from it at all. Maybe it is just an extremely subtle smell? I shall never know until I next make a trip State side.
This is a delicious Fall scent, in fact writing about it makes me want the season to already be here. I get a sort of sweet brown sugar/cinnamon combo with a really nice earthy fig. It's sweet and warm and somehow light compared to lots of other Autumn fragrances.
Just delicious! I took a chance and ordered online because I heard this body spray was a nice gourmand, and I was not disappointed. Infact I was very pleased with the longevity and sillage of this as well for a body spray. I LOVE the brown sugar scent on my skin, it smells so yummy. It is a shame you can no longer buy this in the store, but at least it is still available online :)
This parfume looks so delicious, as the other b&b works's parfume, but unfortunately in my country this brand it is not present. :(
Incredible edible!!
At one point, I was on an insane kick with this fragrance. I could not get enough of it. I used the shower gel, the lotion, and the body spray. EVERY DAY! And then I just kind of fell off of it and didn't wear it for about TWO YEARS. When I came back to it, it evoked wonderful memories, but something about it had changed to my nose. At the time it came out, B&BW was using a specific base--it was in Jap. Cherry Blossom and Exotic Coconut, too, to name a few--and for the first time, it bothered me. It's a prickly sort of essence that makes my throat feel scratchy and tight. Alas...I have my memories...
mouth watering, sweet and a spunky fruit spark to it...I love it cuz it is very "girly" and lasts all day. the caramel sugary notes are a winner for me, and the fig is a lot like spring time.
yummy!!!!!! it's so warm and sweet, great for the winter months. I love the soft smell of coconut, figs and a bit of browm sugar. just yummy
THis perfume smells so delicious. It almost smells like something you can eat I have the body spray as well as the perfume. I think I like the body spray better though there is something a little different about the spray
Brown Sugared Fig, Vanilla and Mapple ... Hummmm... Yummy!!!
Perfect scent for cold days but it is also comfortable in sunny and a little hot days... Good staying power: 7 - 8 Hours.
My favorite Bath and Body Works Scent!!!!
Bath & Body Works now has several of their "classic fragrances" on sale online (and at some stores). If you love this one as much as I do... time to stock up! It's more wearable in the cooler months because of it's heavy maple and vanilla base, but if you use it sparingly in hot weather it DOES attract a lot of male reaction! I always get complimented by men when I wear this warm fragrance! :)
Ive tested this one today. I like it very much. Its sweet and warm. Vanilla and fig a touch of coconut.very gourmand. NICE
I have this and it is OK but no big deal. What I have that I love, from BBW is Lush Fig Nectar, which has been discontinued. Apparently BBW has a bad habit of discontinuing really wonderful fragrances and keeping the ho-hum varieties. If you like fig and have a chance to get Lush Fig Nectar, I can say that the description is right on- it is lush and delicious.
Too sweet for me; very heavy-handed. It starts out with an almost sweet-and-sour smell (tangy!) which must be the fig. This wears down to the sweet fig, with muskiness, and I get caramel. There is something plastic or synthetic about it I can't place that is a turn-off. Warm & creamy, yes; if you're a "foodie" you might like it. Just overpowering for my nose.
its smells so very pleasantly weird. it might turn you off at first but as it develops on you, or for me anyways, it gets very nice to the point where it's almost edible.
sentual amber is better. butterfly flower is just a notch below. this is my sisters sig scent. i love it. but mine is better! lol
I can understand why it is so popular,it is very pleasant and yes it smells what it says..Basicly fig and brown sugar.Warm and not too sweet actually,i am not a big fan of gourmands but this isnt your typical gourmand.I like it a lot but of corse not to longlasting..
It's not too late to try this delectable fragrance experience. Not available in stores,but go online to Bath and Body Works' website and you can still find the entire line...sans the EDT. There is even a room fragrance (one of those plug in the wall things) in the line. Right now you can buy 3 get two free or buy 2 get one free. It's worth trying...not super expensive and great for these colder months!
One of my absolute favorites! Anything fig is splendid in my eyes and nose but this one is unique I think. It's simple yet complex. Right away I smell the Fig and Vanilla which is irresistable. Then, I get the Amber, Musk and Caramel. I don't really smell the flowers just the sweetness! It reminds me of plucking a ripe juicy fig off the fig bush and the juice dripping off my chin. Mouthwatering Delicious!
I like how this scent changes after hours. First i was expecting a bit more fig from it, because at first i just get vanilla and coconut milk out of it. Its not heavy sweet, just comforting. Then it changes into a light musky scent which reminds me on Burberry Brit, and thats what i really like here. I would recommend it for fall or winter. Its not thats strong but it lasts some hours, so nice done.
Brown Sugar And Fig is so yummy and mouth watering. I'm slowly but surely becoming a gourmand lover. It opens with a really sweet, fruity burst of figs and passionfruit. Then it become a hint floral, adding more depth and heightening its sweetness. When it dries down it gets really warm and creamy, all the while maintaining its sweetness, and becoming more sensual. Brown Sugar & Fig is a very, very, very deliciously exciting fragrance. It reminds me of a vanilla icecream cone topped with toasted almonds, drizzling with caramel, that doesn't need to have a cherry on top to finish it. This scent is very sensual and romantic and should only be worn for those intimate moments. It's warmth is better suited for the fall and winter, but its sensuality is tame enough to be worn under the hot summer sun.
i love this scent that's sad because i only have the lotion now i used to have it i totally detect the caramel in it it's so worm i would like to buy one and wear it in the winter while drinking hot cocoa
I am a fan of fig and this by far is amazing. I get compliments all the time from strangers and I only have the splash. It's warm, sensual, and sexy. Best B&B I have ever smelled. I knew I had to have it the minute I tested it...
I have some of this and love it. It is perfect for this time of year. It is a shame that it is being discontinued. Try Ebay - You may be able to still find some on there.
My favorite scent in the entire universe in brown sugar! I could just be doused in it daily and never tire of the smell. I was just telling my husband yesterday that I would love to find a perfume that smells like brown sugar, so I decided to check on here and came across this! But my happiness was short lived when I read this is being discontinued. Am I too late? *panics*
Brown Sugar and Fig really does live up to its name -- wonderful fig and sweet brown sugar meld together into a wonderful, "warming" fragrance... perfect for chilly December night, cuddling your special someone while sip hot cups of coffee in front of a fireplace. It is sweet, but not so sugary sweet that appeals to the younger set -- it is also sophisticated. It's one scent that I'll be keeping in my perfume stash for years (for as long as it does not get discontinued!!!). Love, love, love it :)
Brown Sugar & Fig is mouth-watering! It's a strangely sophisticated fruity/foody perfume. I love this very much, one of my favorite fragrances at Bath and Body Works besides Velvet Tuberose and Sensual Amber. If you're a fig lover, you will love this scent. Fig is my favorite fruit next to lychee, and I love the smell of brown sugar. It melds together perfectly. Unfortunately, this one is discontinuing which is what the sales lady said (unless she just said that to get me to buy it ;p). I get fig, vanilla, and a caramel/brown sugar note with some musk and maybe a hint of amber.
