Gingham

Gingham by Bath & Body Works presents a light, fresh, and feminine floral-citrus scent with dominant clementine, freesia, and violet notes. It evokes clean laundry, crisp linen, and juicy citrus, with a sweet, powdery dry-down that many describe as pleasantly safe and non-intimidating. The fragrance feels geared toward everyday wear, particularly in spring and summer, and is widely seen as a reliable, clean-scented option for casual or office environments. Some appreciate its easy-to-wear nature and elegant simplicity, likening it to a soft skin scent or layering base that complements other perfumes. However, its performance is generally weak—most users report only moderate longevity, often lasting 2 to 3 hours on skin and up to 5 on clothes. While some users detect an unexpectedly musky or cologne-like quality in the dry-down, others describe it as a bright, zesty, and uplifting scent reminiscent of orange juice or fresh summer days. The scent is undeniably pleasant for those who favor clean, fresh fragrances, but lacks a distinctive character or memorable impact for those seeking depth, originality, or long-lasting wear.
