one of my all time favorites, this was a favorite scent of from being 14 till now, it smells very fresh, relaxing, floral and powdery, sounds like an old lady scent but you'd be surprised, its very soft and relaxing. I wear this when Im about to go to bed
I think Its such a romantic scent,it's so light and delicate and isn't overpowering its a mix of beautiful flower petals and a little bit of powder. I think that if you spray too much on yourself it could make you and everyone around you sick, but one or two sprays and you are left with a nice soft smell that lasts all day.
Such a soothing scent. I know a lot of people think this is an "old lady scent" and I could see that if someone bathed in it, but only then and fortunately I haven't experienced that yet. I also like this so much because I had a Spice Girls barbie, I had Scary Spice and her hair smelled just like this :)
This scent smells SO much like shaving cream, its weird. I would like it if it didnt remind me of shaving cream so much!
I love it! Sweet and powdery, right up my alley <3
Very fresh.
I very much prefer the EDT over the body mist. The body mist is heavier on the musk note and makes it more sour. The edt is pure sweet powder heaven and is surprisingly well blended. I highly recommend. Great value too. I'm floating on a cloud right now
*thanks melbritt24 for the mini :D
For some reason this scent smelled more powdery-fresh than floral to me, but maybe that's because I love lilacs, which don't smell like most flowers. The recent formulation is much less balanced and seems heavier on the lavender, which is too overpowering for me.
MMMMM, powdery, purpley, smooth, warm fuzzy sweater goodness. So soft and calming. Not a loud or harsh fragrance by any means. Smells clean and fresh without being soapy. This is a "cuddle up under the covers and take a nap" fragrance...and by that I do not mean that it is boring, but that it relaxes and rocks your nose to sleep.
Oh, my what a lovely fragrance. This is affordable and delightful to the senses. It smells so incredibly feminine and fresh, with a sensual undertone of floral bliss. I'm a man but I would never be unhappy to smell this on a woman- pure heaven!
i once thought a co-worker had just gotten a fresh perm on her hair. nope, it was her new lotion : Moonlight Path. in a fit of insanity, i tried it on, myself, at the shop and it was fresh perm solution all over again. crazy!
Smells like someone is trying to cover up the scent of some rotting thing by spraying a whole can of powdery air freshener. I cringe when I smell this.
Smells nothing like Chanel No. 5 - don't know why people compare it to the iconic fragrance. It's okay on its own merits, but cannot hold a candle to the real thing.
The best thing about Moonlight Path is that it gives me a feel of wearing Chanel No. 5. Moonlight Path may be lighter than that of Chanel, but it has almost the same exact intense powdery scent. Therefore, without splurging over $100.00, I can just hop into my car, go to Bath and Body Works, and get my Moonlight Path. Likewise, I now gave more thought to Moonlight Path's sister fragrance, Warm Vanilla Sugar, also in the cuddler section, and it gives me a lighter feel of, if not exactly, the vanilla scent Chanel's sister fragrance, Shalimar. Like Chanel and Shalimar in the perfume world, Moonlight Path and Warm Vanilla Sugar have been originals at Bath and Body Works, and are amongst the most irreplaceable fragrances, where many come and go. Bath and Body Works is a wonderful place to get various fragrances for the right price, and their perfumes give you feels of more expensive perfumes, and it has been working well for me.
Smells like an old lady. It's just too powdery for me.
A classic musk. I don't really like or dislike it, but I've found that men really respond to it! Not sure why, but they just seem to love it.
I still own the original glass flower shaped perfume bottle of this scent and it smells as wonderful on me now as it did then! Real staying power and a lovely, powdery scent. So relaxing. I think, next to the original Cotton Blossom, I love this scent the best!
I used to wear this all the time and I still own it. However, as I have gotten older, I prefer more oriental/spicy scents over the powdery ones. That being said, I still like this one. I have other "powdery" scents like Heavenly Stardust and Fancy, which prove to be romantic and soft like Moonlight Path. This is one of those either-you-like-it or you don't scents. I prefer to wear it in the cooler months; warmer weather is too much for the powdery aroma. Overall, it's fresh, clean and yes, powdery. If you're not sure, try before you buy. :)
I used to love this scent but now it literally smells like plastic on me-so disappointing.It might just be me as I used to wear it all the time about 10 years ago:(
I don't like lavender in anything so perhaps that's why I disliked it. I sampled it on numerous occassions in BBW and the result was the same-cool sharp smelling soapy scent. Drydown is very musky and smells like cheap mens aftershave. Yikes! I sprayed it on the paper and that's what it smelled like. I also owned small body spray and the result was identical. Tuberose, rose, jasmine, violet-where are all these flowers because I can't smell any of it. Top notes overwhelm everything here. I also realized that I smelled it on numerous people and I used to think "what soap are they using that it smells so sharp and strong?"lol. Not for me. If it works for you, great but I can't stomach it
Rainydays said it smelled like men's shaving cream, yeah, I totally agree with that
So, I must say that this is a perfume that I always come back to. After struggling about which perfume to wear on my wedding day, I decided this has to be it. It's comforting, pretty, fresh, and sexy at the same time. My husband loves it and I got many compliments on it that day. Whenever I wear it in school (work), other teachers tell me smell "yummy." My students LOVE this scent! One time they argued whether or not it was my natural scent or not!! Haha. I just really love it- and I think you may need to smell it on others to realize how great it is. Pair it with the lotion- even better!
For those who think it smells too powdery, my husband hates powdery scents and somehow described this as fresh and clean!
I love my little Moonlight Path,and I hope one day you get to enjoy it, too- not too many of you, though! ;)
I really don't like this one. I've given it multiple tries, the concept sounds nice, but it just doesn't work for me. I don't understand how people get lavender out of this, it doesn't smell like real lavender at ALL. It would smell nicer if it did. All I smell is soap and baby powder, and not in a fresh or pleasant way, it just smells kind of old and stale.
Ick, ick, ick!! All I smell is baby powder. It literally makes me cringe.
Wonderful for relieving stress, or after a nighttime bubble bath! However, I usually just wear this one at home.
I find this too powdery and soapy/ shampoo-y for my taste.
I love this perfume! It is very soft and romantic. I really like that this perfume smells the same on me as it does in the bottle. I didn't notice that it changes through out the day either. I have a freind who doesn't like perfumes AT ALL but does like this one and always tells me I smell nice when I wear it.
This is a must for my perfume shelf!
I'm a big fan of powdery fragrances.Moonlight Path is liquid moonlight in the bottle.:) This is a very comfortable relaxing scent, great bedtime fragrance.It's working very well with my skin chemistry. The lavender, violet, bergamott and musk absolutely detectable in the scent but in the soft, calming way.It's stays close to my skin about 4 hours.
For romantic girls only!:)
I find that half of people will like this and the other half will not. I like this however not enough to buy it but my mom got me the shower gel and I think it smells good just does not stand out amongst my other perfumes.

Don't get me wrong, I love baby powder scents, but this is VERY powdery. Actually, a little overpowering. The only note I smell in this is powdery cotton. Maybe I just purchased a bad bottle?
i use it everytime i go to bed..and my kids perfume
This is one of the heaviest powdery scents that I own and I absolutely adore it. To me it is delicate and romantic <3 I like to wear this one to bed sometimes as it can also be very comforting and calming. Synthetic or not this beauty is a must have!
Smells like hairspray.
Have I ever written that I love confort, powdery scent? Maybe a thousand time... :) This is another confort scent that I usually wear with so pleasure in spring. I found it on ebay...sadly Bath & body works isn't available in Italy...why??!!! Anyway, I bought it unsniffed, and I'm not disappointed! I don't smell many floral notes in this fragrance, mayble only the rose, mixed soooo well with the musk and the heliotrope. The result is a romantic, floral-powdery fragrance, that works so well with my skin! I also have the body spray, but I think it's a little different, muskier that the edt...IMO, the body spray is similar to Avon Soft musk, while the edt has a more complex and original smell. Anyway, I like the body spray too! :)
I like how this in this perfume, you can smell hints of lavender in it; which is one of my favorite scents. One of my favorite B&B perfumes
Yes, it does smell like "If you need to be babyied". It is good for that! I tried this today and it smells very young. Maybe for you teens looking for your first scent? Not for a middle aged women. It doesnt smell bad - just young.
I like most B&BW fragrances for their simplicity and easy-wear. I've never found any of them offensive... except this one. I walked by somebody while wearing it and they said "Hm, something smells like really strong men's shaving cream." I just said "Uh, yeah, I smell it too. Weird." And I immediately ran off to scrub away Moonlight Path. Fast forward a few months and the fragrance comes up in a conversation with about four others. Everybody chimed in about what a strange, heavy, sickly sharp smell it was. Not good. It really does smell overwhelmingly of men's shaving cream! Not what I want to smell like, personally.
I have this as a Wallflower in my room after smelling it once at BBW. I love it in my room and I always catch a whif of it when I walk in my room. Since I love the wallflower I decided to go to BBW today and spray the EDT on my wrist to see the lasting power and to see how the scent smelled with my chemistry. I sprayed it on at 12 this afternoon and it is now 11 pm at night and it still smells amazing! It's almost like a soft powder which I love. I love soft scents, this is a perfect perfume for those who love soft scents. I prefer soft scents over heavy ones. I also used the lotion while I was there and it smells just as good. I will be going back and purchasing very soon. I think this will become my signature scent!
Love this one. It is so soft and sensual. I really love this fragrance.
I used to wear this in middle and high school. I remember when it first came out, it feels like a cashmere sweater. Literally the smell is soft and comforting. I was able to get the "old packaging" EDT for $7 today and do was very excited. I would say that lavender is the strongest note here for me and consider this aromatherapy. This has some sweetness, but a floral one, not a sugary one. Moonlight path can be worn in any season. Im so happy to have a new bottle if this treasure!
Powder, powder, powder, with a touch more powder. I am not sure where all the complexity is supposed to be (the description sounds like a garden.) To me, it is a light and dusty. Smells clean, at least. When first on, I get the some sweet white florals & some lavender, but this quickly fades into...plastic powdered flowers. Only vaguely reminiscent of Anais Anais (for comparison - it's in the fam.), you're much better off with that one! In this case, ya'll, stick with the classics.
Later note: Okay, this does remind me of the lavender baby products I used on my cubs when they were babies, and when I need to be babied, I pull this out. It's good for that.
I smelled the updated version of this yesterday in the new bottle and it is yummmmmmmy! I have to get a bottle of this!
I love this scent, it's indeed addictive. Something I can wear anywhere and anytime of the day. Light and fresh...hmmmmm..
the name speaks for itself.i find this scent so light and sweet.
moonlight path is addictive...ilove it...and the person who wears it!
Wow, snobbery runs rampant when it comes to perfumes. Moonlight Path is not a breakthrough in fragrances, BUT it doesn't take away from the fact that it is very wearable. It's creamy, musky and soft. I don't smell any patchouli or vanilla, or anything but musk and flowers, really. Those who are used to rich, heavy perfumes may not go for this, but those who like fuzzy, comfy scents will.
I recently purchased inexpensive small body lotions in this and several other B&BW scents, after first trying them on. Frankly all B&BW stuff smells more than a bit synthetic, since it is. However, at least in cold weather, i didn't find this too objectionable.
None of the B&BW fragrances can compete with quality fine perfumes in structure, composition, or quality of ingredients. But then again, not everyone can afford the good expensive stuff, and some don't appreciate it.
So this and a few other B&BW scents are a bit more sophisticated than their usual fare.
While i agree that there are hints of that horrible hideous vile old cheap ubiquitous pervasive Jovan Musk (and what sillage THAT had :) i didn't find Moonlight Path overpowering.
I confess i only tried the body lotion and not the eau de toilette or shimmer mist. Either or both may have subtle (or not so subtle) differences.
Something about this gives me a terrible headache, and I've never actually had it on my skin. A woman I work with used the lotion and every time I have to back away from her with a searing migraine. The smell isn't bad, but there's a note in it that's pervasive and unavoidable. In the end, it's pretty, but rather rudely intrusive. Smaller application doses might solve this.
I love Moonlight Path. It is a very mellow fragrance, with lavender and rose(and you can tell from my other reviews that I love a good rose scent.)I used to wear it to bed but my husband hated it and ask me not to wear it. I can't figure why, I thought it lovely. He hated Anais-Anais as well. So give it a try, It is one of B&B nicest scents.
At first smell, I think this is quite harsh. The lavender is too overpowering. It does, however, fade away to reveal a beautiful rosy scent which, to me, makes the scent worth purchasing.
This is a Romantic Blend of Floral Musk and it suits my skin perfectly. I love this. It reminds me of true love and pure romance. I will layer this w/the lotion but could be worn alone and will last all day.. This is a great scent from Bath and Body Works...
i fell in love with this scent the first time i smelled it. I dont even know how to describe it The scent is so beautiful & soft.
Its so romantic light and delicate and isn't overpowering its a mix of beautiful flower petals and powder.
Its so calming delicate and comforting.
Ive been using this for years and will continue buying it.It will always be a part of my perfume collection- its a must have!
Last year i bought moonlight path shimmer mist it was soo pretty -i didnt see it this year :-(
has anyone tried the creamy body wash?
I love Moonlight Path. I feel like I stepped into an English Garden. Makes me feel great,especially now that Winter is upon us in New York. I think you ladies should give it a try.
It's so hard to find exactly the right word. Terrible? Awful? Perhaps what came out in 2007 was a reformulation, a terrible, awful, stinky reformulation. All I could smell was synthetics and cheap musk. Horrible! That's the word, just horrible. The horror of something that smells like Jovan Musk and will not wash off. It's hard for me to emphasize strongly enough just how bad I found this perfume, and deeply I regretted having sprayed myself with it.
The body creams by the way may not be as scary.
