Fairytale
by Bath & Body Works
Fairytale by Bath & Body Works is a velvety, sweetly floral body mist that evokes a dreamlike elegance, with a prominent orange blossom and soft vanilla core. The opening features a bright pomegranate note that tapers quickly into a warm, radiant amber-woody base, creating a scent that feels polished and refined. While some note a fleeting resemblance to YSL Libre—particularly in the floral gauze and vanilla-amber warmth—many describe it as a distinct journey: initially fruity and flirty, it mellows into something deeply cozy and wearable. The projection is moderate with low sillage, making it ideal for close-wear and day wear, and the sensation on skin is soft and ethereal, often likened to a high-end perfume despite its mist format. It lasts across a full day on clothing and offers a satisfyingly lasting presence for a body mist, particularly when applied to heavier fabrics, though on skin, longevity tends to fade after four hours.
Pros
- +Elegant, high-end quality for a body mist—well-formulated, soft and luxurious.
- +Longevity on clothing is notably good, offering lasting scent beyond typical mist performance.
- +Feminine and versatile; suitable for work, nights out, or casual wear without being overpowering.
Cons
- −Variable longevity on skin—weak for most users, though extendable via clothing.
- −The vanilla and amber base can be cloying for sensitive noses; some find it overly sweet or gummy.
- −At times, the sudden shift from fruity opening to amber-heavy drydown may be overwhelming, causing irritation for some.
