Frosted Coconut Snowball
by Bath & Body Works
A sweet, creamy, and cool coconut-vanilla gourmand with a subtle fruity-fresh undertone, Frosted Coconut Snowball evokes the feeling of snowy tropical island ice cream. It opens with an instant burst of frosted freesia and sweetened coconut, which quickly softens into a warm, milky vanilla base with a faint woodsy and icy floral presence. The dry-down reveals a gentle, lingering sweetness, with a surprisingly well-blended coconut note that avoids the greasy or oily quality found in some other Bath & Body Works scents. While sillage is modest and longevity is moderate—best achieved through layering with the matching lotion—it offers a clean, bright, and almost flirtatious scent that feels whimsical yet wearable year-round. It appeals most to lovers of soft, dessert-like fragrances with a cool, subtle freshness rather than a bold, dominant coconut character.
Pros

- +The scent is remarkably wearable year-round, particularly for those who appreciate light, sweet, and clean gourmands.
Cons
- −The coconut note, while present, is often described as faint or dry—some find it barely perceptible or too light to be satisfying.
- −Longevity and sillage are moderate at best, requiring frequent reapplication or layering with the lotion to maintain presence.
- −A few users report sensitivity to the freesia or overall sweetness, finding it too sugary, artificial, or overwhelming.
