Charmed Life Bath and Body Works for women

It smells too busy. Not like a simple, yummy, but sophisticated layered scent, but a jumbled mess of overwhelming notes. I think this is why they discontinued it, I hate it. I think they were trying something new, but it didn't work out. Exchanging all the products I got for this. Going to get some of the scents they're good for...plain coconut and vanilla perfumes.

This was easily one of my favorite BBW scents. I was so disapointed when it was discontinued... I still have the lotion though. I love the vanilla and pear!

Very yummy, I dont smell guava but I get lots of vanilla coconuts berries and JASMINE. it is a lovely perfume. I really love this one. Dont underestimate BBW, trust me.

I would never have tried this out by myself but my mom had picked up a small bottle of it so i started using it. the perfume its self is quite strong, but clams down shortly. however i do wish the scent would last longer. (4-5hrs.) other than that, its a verrryy creamy, flirty scent; perfect for you young ladies!

I agree with Mandashell on the comparison to Charmed Life being similar to a fruity version of VS Heavenly Stardust, I like Charmed Life better though. It's lighter, more feminine, and I would definitely wear this more. I really like the fruity creamy vanilla vibe it has. Good sillage and staying power, mellow and enjoyable, glad to have it.

Charmed Life is one of those versatile fragrances that I really enjoy. There are so many different notes that I find I am able to mix this with almost any lotion and/or perfume and it works well. My review is based solely on the body mist as I tried the perfume and found it overwhelming. It was pleaseant and all but led to one too many headaches. I did still like the scent so I tried just the body mist and, on me, that seems to be more that enough. On me, I detect strong tropical flowers, coconut and vanilla and nothing else. And i'm okay with that. It blends well with my chemstry and lasts a long time on me. Lately, i've been mixing the Charmed Life mist with the Vanillatini body lotion adn that smells awesome!!! Thumbs up and I highly recommend this.

Exotic. Juicy. Sweet. Creamy.
I really enjoyed this. First it smells like luscious juicy Gauva's which reminds me of being on holiday in the Caribbean, I can smell a bit of the pear too. It then develops into a creamy warmer but yet still a tropical scent as the Guava lingers. The coconut and the vanilla adds to the creaminess.

This is a pretty great all rounder. It's tropical and fruity enough for the warmer months yet warm and sweet enough for the colder ones. Lovely.

A fruity vanilla. Starts off with a lot of sweet fruits and a fair dose of vanilla. After it settles, I get mainly a warm creamy vanilla scent, not much fruit or florals. I like this because it's not as sugary as some other fruity vanilla scents, while the pear and guava provide a different fruitiness than the berries I usually wear. I find this to be a warm cuddly scent, good for colder weather.

Not too floral, not too sweet, not too fruity - it's of creamy but mild scent which reminds me of young, clean, yet sophisticated woman. It's quite a unique scent-I hardly remember having smelled this scent on street. I also found that if you apply layers of body lotion, bath gel together with the perfume - the scent will change into something else - kind of fun!

However, this scent is not anything that will blend you down if to be worn in summer or in tropical places as it will stand you out, unlike burning or spicy vanilla, you'll smell like a melting cup cake with fruity milky cream - it's a messy-creamy kind of smells.

I bought the bodyspray, lotion and shower gel for 75% off each!!! This is alot more wearable 4 me than say Dark Kiss or Sweet Pea... I find CL chic and understatedly sexy :)

Fruity, creamy, sweet and not much else. Charmed Life is a cute scent that smells nice but I don't like it enough to actually wear it. It truly reminds me of a lighter Jessica Simpson Fancy and a fruitier Victoria's Secret Heavenly Stardust. And since I have owned and worn both of those, I find this one to be rather boring. :( I like the opening notes since they are juicy and bright but that lasts only a few seconds and then, all I am left with is that same creamy and sweet nuance that I've grown accustomed to.

If you don't own the two fragrances that I previously mentioned then this would be a good deal. :) Charmed Life lasts a good 6hrs on my skin with a nice sillage. I also only paid $12 for my 2.5oz Edt since it has been discontinued. But, if you own either of the aforementioned fragrances then you aren't missing anything at all! Those similarities are quite distinct and that may be the biggest reason Charmed Life didn't sell well. Been there, done that, pass!

P.S. This definitely isn't better than Be Enchanted ( my current fave)! Not even close! o.O

i really liked this scent, despite of the bad reviews, the good thing was that they put it on clearence and i got me another bottle. i live bbw but lately they've been mixing the good scents to create "new ones"... i wonder if the new scent will be just another mix of twilight woods, dark kiss and forever sunshine ...?

I smelled this recently and wasn't too impressed. I really don't smell all these interesting notes in it which has been my experience with BBW-great notes, "meh" fragrance. This is sort of creamy sweet scent with powder notes, fruit I only smell in the very beginning. Its not a bad scent but nothing to get excited about. I'm sure there are people who liked it but I didn't think it was interesting enough for me(even at 50% off which is what they have as of now)

I smelled this at the store it smells okay, but it smells like others I have smelled. It is being discontinued after many bad reviews so I am guessing its not such a great unique smell. : /

CHANGED MY MIND! I LOVE IT!

This scent has a big launch a few months ago and is now being put on clearance. Wonder what that means in terms of likeability. Paris Amour, Forever Sunshine, Dark Kiss, even Sea Island Cotton and Twilight Woods are just better. Everyone likes different things and that makes the perfume world go 'round, but this was just the Guava bandwagon. There was a pommegranate bandwagon, and a pear, strawberry. For some reason I received several forms of this as gifts, anything I couldn't exchange, I gave away. The young relations said "big yuck" and wanted Sweet Pea, Dark Kiss, Paris Amour and Twilight Woods. Get it while you can, it is a great buy, there was a ton of stock when I went in recently, but at any price, it is still "meh".

Smells amazing! I got it for half off, B&BW was having a sale, so I got it and it smells AMAZING. So sweet, simple, and awesome. For the winter I put the mini lotion in my purse for when my hands get dry. Can't get enough of the scent!

This is a perfect first perfume for a lovely little girl :)

Terrible! All I smelled was strong baby powder after I applied this product and it gave me a bad headache. It does not at all have any fruit notes that I can detect. I only smell the heavy, heavy musk and strong powdery notes. This fragrance seems very mature considering the packaging denotes that it's for a younger audience. I'm hoping this will stay limited edition, retire, and become replaced with a new fragrance. I highly do not recommend.

Charmed Life is not really a gourmand (Country Chic has more gourmand quality than this) and is actually more interesting than Be Enchanted. It starts out very generic sweet fruity and champagney then it becomes a pleasantly smooth creamy white floral with sandalwood kick. It stays strong by not obnoxiously loud. I'm surprised to see this on a huge sale at the outlet store so soon!

Most of the scents are pretty generic to my nose as of lately. Forever Sunshine was nice and I'm glad I have it but this one is even twice as good and I would defintely tell someone, YES! buy it! It's perfect for just about any time of year but this scent makes me want to put on a big ol' fluffy sweater and spray this under it. I'm loving this scent! I think if you like BS Fantasy, you'd love this! I may be wrong but I think this is the best in the last few years from Bath and Body Works! It's not THAT different than many scents out there but it's sure one of the best when it comes to a budget and affordability! Twenty dollars with a coupon, great buy and terrific gift! This should be popular with young girls and elegant enough for anyone over that age! I'm very impressed with this creamy, sweet, and proper scent for the masses!

I got this as a free gift with an online order before it came out. It's ok smelling; bright, a little flirtatious, and sparkling. It kind of puts me in mind of a Paris Hilton perfume. I like it, but I don't love it. I think you could wear it year round and it seems to be a non-offensive frag, so it would probably be safe for work too. I've noticed that it's got some of the same notes as Britney Spears' Believe, though to me, the pralines aren't as predominant in Charmed Life as they are in Believe nor does it last as long. Honestly, if it hadn't been a free gift, I probably would have skipped it, but what can I say, it was free.
