Twilight Woods at Peak

[Camay]

Just noticed Peak added a new fragrance, Twilight Woods (B&BW type).

Scent description:

A sweet, romantic Bath & Body Works type. This fragrance combines the scent of ripe forest berries and soft sensual musk, with middle notes of sweet mimosa flowers and apricots, along with subtle hints of oak and juniper.

Sounds good!

I LOVE the original from B&BW. I hope it's a close dupe.

[Faerywren]

And it's cheaper than WSP!

[Darbla]

Ooo ooo! Looks like time to buy another sampler pack! Pick up some Fall scents to try, too.

Now why couldn't they have had that when they had their sampler packs on sale recently?

[Meridith]

I got a free sample of this from Peak. I've never smelled it before so I can't say if its an exact dupe or not but OOB it has a nice light, clean smell.

[NewOrleansLady]

I got some from NG and OOB it's absolutely awesome. These will be hard to sell cause I think I'm gonna keep all the ones I make.

I'm wearing Twilight Woods right now! Damn, I just ordered from Peak too. They definitely didn't have it on there last week when I was browsing through their FO list for something new to try

I have only used the one from WSP and smelling it and smelling hand cream it is a dead on dupe.

The hand cream is BBW Twilight Woods

Is theirs an exact dupe?

[Darbla]

I didn't know NG had it too. PLEASE get some of the original from B&BW so you can tell us how close it is!!!

[CareBear]

And it's cheaper than WSP!

even when you take into account WSP's free shipping on FOs?

I got some from WSP but, if memory serves, I wasn't thrilled OOB. But now I cannot find the darned thing to reconfirm.

****

found it. OOB the WSP one is much frutier without that rich amber woodiness. I'm gonna put it in lotion tonight and see what I think. I'll soap it this weekend.

I just ordered some from NG, can't wait to get my order now.

I'd be getting other supplies from Peaks, too. So it's all good.

The Nature's Garden one doesn't sound like anything even remotely close to the B&BW product:

Natures Garden Twilight in the Woods Fragrance oil: As the night seeps into the Red Wood Forest, Misty Moss and Patchouli gently glide over the Sandal Trees as the White Musky Clouds dampen the Amber Glow of this eerie aura.

Top Notes: Mandarin Balm, Tangelo, Eucalyptus

Middle Notes: Jungle Moss, Patchouli Leaf, Sandal Tree

Base Notes: Red Wood Forest, Amber Glow, Musk

B&BW lotion description:

"a hypnotic fragrance inspired by a romantic walk in enchanted woods"

"Juicy Berry, Soft Mimosa, Apricot Nectar, Warm Woods"

B&BW candle description:

"Master perfumers have blended apricot nectar, mimosa petals, and Tuscan cypress to create this hypnotic fragrance, inspired by a romantic walk in enchanted woods."

Peak's version that Camay posted is closer but no cypress:

A sweet, romantic Bath & Body Works type. This fragrance combines the scent of ripe forest berries and soft sensual musk, with middle notes of sweet mimosa flowers and apricots, along with subtle hints of oak and juniper.

the descriptions are nice, but don't typically represent what I smell - and heck I work for a fragrance manufacturer and we write this stuff! When different individual write the descriptions they call out what they notice most or are most important, and that can vary from person to person.

also, I best like the fragrance in the BBW clear shower gel in the bottle. in lotion, no where near as much. I haven't been to a store - just browsed our product closet at work - so haven't seen the other formats.

You have a product closet at work? That is pretty cool. What else is in there?? Does B&BW send you the products, or do people at your work go out and get them?

[Darbla]

If I smell ANY eucalyptus at all in the NG one, and that's listed as one of the top notes, then it's nothing like 'Twilight Woods'.

By the way, B&BW candles suck. They hardly have any hot throw. I was burning a 'Twilight Woods' one this weekend and I couldn't smell it, and I know I shouldn't have candle nose against a scent I haven't even had in the house. If it were one of my FOs I've had around awhile and grown accustomed to, I could understand.

Oh yes we have a product closet. We have one of pretty much everything (of significance) on the market in the areas our creative center works on (fabric softeners, detergents, bar soaps, bodywashes, candles & other air care products, and cleaning products. Unfortunately the lotions and hair care stuff is done out of our NYC office, as well as fine fragrances, so I don't have many of those here.

We have to buy them, in most cases.

When I have spare time I go down the hall and smell everything I can get my hands on. I choose one product category and/or one brand at a time and get to know it. There's so much it's an endless cycle.

My focus is personal wash (bodywash and soap) and air care.

Now I'm going to have to go swipe one and burn it. We mostly evaluate candles cold unless there is a specific reason we need to get to know it better.

I made a candle with NG's its only been 2 days,..but the cold throw and OOB smell has NO eucalyptus smell to it at all. It has a soft ligt smell,..I smell amber & musk.

[CareBear]

well the lotion didn't cure out as rich as I would like. I am using it up in bath bombs but won't order more from WSP.

Did you get a pillar or container? Ever listened to what the sales people say about their pillars? They are mostly for show and decoration so the scent is not strong ... to quote what one told me.

[Darbla]

I got a container one.

[Scented]

Maybe they're doing the same thing with those now too lol.

[Darbla]

Just Scent has it now.
