As a former massive collector of bath and body works, I always get a little feeling of delight when one of my favorite fragrance youtubers talks about them. The fragrance community very rarely brings up BBW because it's like it's own little niche. All that said, having smelled leather & brandy and coffee & whisky in store, I didn't, find them all that impressive, but then again i'm not a big fan of that style of fragrance.

Ordered this after watching Cubaknows review, and I must admit I was surprised. My daughters work at a local BBW and I have a lot of the men's line fragrances so I didn't have high expectations but this was no slouch. Very well rounded gourmand fragrance that's just in time for fall/winter seasons. Last 6-8 hours on my skin and I got at least 10 on my shirt. Got a few compliments at the office on a test wear. This will be in my fall/winter rotation without a doubt.

It took a few days to really get used to it, but after putting it through its paces I really grew to enjoy it and embrace it. Especially with the less is more philosophy, which is still too easy to ignore. But when you aren't lathered in it, that frozen candy-apple whiskey aura really shines through under your nose. I want to try all of the other fragrances you listed here, along with brandy and leather.
