Bath & Body Works New Vanilla Romance! Is It Bonfire Bash?

[@emadinah]

WHY repackage Bonfire Bash with a different name? It’s EXTREMELY misleading to the consumers who want something NEW!!

[@Sufferingsassafrass]

Agreed! 😤

[@JB-ge7vc]

Agree! And it’s also misleading to those who have been wanting Bonfire Bash and are used to that name. Imo there isn’t anything romantic about the Bonfire Bash scent so the new name is odd. I loved the og name.

[@AngelaBrown-jf3vc]

Does it have the same staying power as the old one? Bonfire bash is my favorite scent. That's what made me start shopping at BBW. Bodycology has a dupe, cozy fireside smore's that's pretty good since they discontinued bonfire bash.

[@Mindy-r2s]

@@JB-ge7vc I love everything about Bonfire Bash. The scent, the name and the packaging. Why would they do this to us? Luckily, Phlur came out with Vanilla Skin which is almost identical. I have 5 bottles of the mist and the perfume. Have you tried it?

[@DaenerysGOT18]

I love bonfire bash but I was so hoping it was a new scent. Why not just name it Bonfire Bash?!!

[@andreaflowers8527]

Your sentiments are echoed as well 😔, wanted something new as well.

[@LatchKeyKid_78]

Because many people have BB and won’t buy it for that reason so they change the name to fool people into buying it because it’s “New”

I tried the hand cream of the new vanilla romance in the store I didn't get any bonfire bash vibes from that I don't feel like it's a repackage. I don't have the mist yet or the lotion. Sometimes they're all different.. I'm still looking forward to ghoul friend and I really like the new vanilla romance one just even trying the hand cream. ❤

[@nolasalazar]

I got to smell the hand cream then the mist and the hand cream was different than the mist in my opinion. I liked the hand cream more, it was richer and more vanilla. I like the mist but I really liked the hand cream.

[@heidihunny4890]

I agree I have experienced it in all the forms and I absolutely do not get bonfire bash at all. The cardamom is very heavy in vanilla romance and there is zero cardamom in bonfire bash

I just want to say thank you for making this video! I have been waiting and wondering where my favorite scent has gone (bonfire bash) and I guess this is the next best thing. I also think the name was great as it was but people probably thought it was too "hippie-ish" and I'm sure the name vanilla romance sells better, which is ridiculous, but I digress! I am going to buy some immediately! Thank you so much for doing the research!

[@suzanslifestyle]

Hi Bonnie thanks for info and compare with Bonfire bash . But base on scent notes ,they are completely diffferent . Because new one has cardamom note , and l am not fun of that scent notes . Also musk , l love musk but new one doesn’t have musk notes . So for me different scents just base on scent information you gave us . I definitely prefer Bonfire bash scent notes , l don’t have one , l would get . But this vanilla , l will skip it.

It's so annoying that BABW and VS both repackage scents . Seriously makes me mad. So many people miss the chance to purchase what could be their fave scent but not even know that it's back on the shelf cause they use some new name . WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF DOING THIS..... STTOOOOPPPP

[@crafting_after_midnight4154]

Hi Bonnie! From the scent notes they sounded like Together Weather to me which I was not a fan of. I will have to smell this one in person. If it's Bonfire Bash I'm purchasing 2 mists as I miss Bonfire Bash so much. I have none left in the body wash and in the mist. I have a similar mist from VS which is Vanilla Amber Bourbon. I kind of compare it to Cozy Vanilla Bourbon,, but WAY better. Vanilla Romance is supposed to be a full signature fragrance.

Keke has the cream & she said it's very similar to Together Weather. I thought it may be too when I saw the cardamom in it. Hmmm 🤔

[@jennifermonroe8147]

Exactly

[@nolasalazar]

I smelled the hand cream and the mist, it’s definitely NOT Together Weather! Vanilla Romance is way better. Together Weather makes me nauseous, especially after the dry down. I like Vanilla Romance. I think the hand cream smells different from the mist, it’s richer. The mist has more of a floral feel in the opening but it dries down a bit spicy. It’s a pretty scent. I don’t understand why people keep saying Together Weather, is it the cardamom? That’s the only similarity.

[@shelbylou02]

@nolasalazar Together Weather is coming back soon so that solves that question. Does it smell like Bonfire though ?

[@OctoberRust1973]

Tried it out a few mins ago. Sprayed it into the air in my living room, stepped out and a few mins later entered my living room and it smelled exactly like Bonfire Bash to me. Might smell different on my skin. Since they didn’t bring back BB I’m glad to have this.🥰

[@shelbylou02]

Hi Bonnie! You seem really unsure. I've been watching u for years & you're not 100% convinced. 🤔 Keke reviewed Candy Apple Cauldron & mentioned she has Vanilla Romance body cream. This is 4 days ago, and she says it smells like Together Weather. None of the notes are even similar to Bonfire Bash. Together Weather has cardamom, so I figured it was a repackage of that. Bonfire Bash is my ride or die scent and I'd love it if you're right! 🤞 Tfs ❤️

[@nolasalazar]

It’s not Together Weather. I got to smell the hand cream and the mist. I feel they smell different, the hand cream was richer and I really liked it. The mist is nice. The opening almost has a little floral note to it but the dry down is more spicy. I’m smelling the dry down of Together Weather right now and I can tell you that they are very different. It’s not even close in my opinion, maybe a little of the cardamom but that’s it.

[@shelbylou02]

@nolasalazar I didn't purchase Together Weather. I am only stating what Keke said. I'm only interested in VR if it's Bonfire Bash. Bonfire Bash has zero floral in it.

[@nolasalazar]

My guess is that the Bonfire Bash name may give off smokey ala By the Fireplace vibes, so customers won't even try it -- that's probably what happened with me. But, the Vanilla Romance name will catch a wider net of customers who will smell it --and then purchase. B&BW does some wonderful vanillas!
