Air - Elements Collection

My second place in this collection, but once again I don't feel like it fits the element on the label. I have a feeling that if you could switch the scents for Earth and Air, they would fit better.
I don't get a lot of the mandarin but I'm loving the eucalyptus and lavender! This will probably replace my Sleep - Lavender and Cedarwood when I eventually (sadly) run out of it. 😭

Scent notes: Lavender, eucalyptus, spearmint, mandarin

Seasons: Aromatherapy

Very calming, simple. Not too much, not too little. 4/5

Water - Elements Collection

When I first smelled this out of the box, I knew I recognized it from somewhere before. Couldn't place my finger on it then, but it smells just like makeup remover wipes! That's my only hang-up on this one. 😅 I think it fits very well with water, but I don't see it being a scent I reach for often.

Scent notes: Bergamot, lemongrass, juniper

Seasons: Aromatherapy

Very soft and relaxing, a little summery. 3.5/5

Earth - Elements Collection

This is probably my least favorite of the line, which saddens me because, as an earth sign, I was hoping to enjoy it. Its very light and powdery which to me doesn't seem to fit with this element.
None of the scents in the collection are bad - some just don't fit with the element they were assigned to. This needed something to ground it, maybe some petrichor, or more of the pepper.

Scent notes: Sandalwood, vetiver, pine, black pepper

Seasons: Aromatherapy

Nice, but not what I expected. Very light/soft, an average lotion scent. 3/5

At The Beach

This one is very out of my ordinary. I usually don't go for beachy, sunscreen-y scents, but I had to get this when it came out with the pride packaging! I didn't even smell it in the store because I knew it wasn't up my ally, but when I got it home I was surprised to enjoy it! I don't reach for it often but its very nice when I'm in the mood.

Scent notes: White frangipani blossoms, toasted coconut, bergamot waters, sea salt breeze, sunkissed musk

Seasons: Summer

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Very light, floral, and summery. 3.5/5

Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin

One of my all-time favorites! The pumpkin and vanilla give it a fruity sweetness, while the cinnamon and ginger snap give it a spiciness that I love! I wear this all the time in the warm fall months.

Scent notes: Heirloom pumpkin, autumn cinnamon, ginger snap, whipped vanilla

Seasons: Fall, maybe late summer

A little sweet, little spicy. Very fall. 4.5/5

Sweater Weather

I love wearing this when I'm craving an apple scent. Its what I imagine walking through an apple orchard would smell like. Very fall, but sometimes I reach for it in springtime when I want to be fruity but not super sweet. I didn't get it for the longest time because I thought it would smell like the Sweater Weather candle. 😅

Scent notes: Sun-crisped apple, autumn leaves, orchard woods

Seasons: Fall, maybe spring, maybe early winter

Pretty soft, not very sweet, but very apple orchard-y. 4/5

Brown Sugar & Fig

This is one of my favorites, especially lately. Fig is not a fruit I see in scents very often, and I love how it smells. The brown sugar sort of deepens it without making it super sweet.

Scent notes: Fresh fig, coconut milk, caramelized brown sugar

Seasons: Spring and summer, maybe mid winter

Pretty simple, not super sweet, very fruity! 4/5

Papaya Paradise Cove

I really like this one when I'm feeling fruity and summery. Very nice on a summer day, and pretty soft.

Scent notes: Fresh papaya, starfruit water, honeysuckle, passion flower, amber

Seasons: Maybe late spring, summer

Not very floral, not super sweet, but very fruity and light. 3.5/5

Gingham

I initially thought Gingham would be too floral for me to enjoy, but I just had to get it because its pretty much the poster child for everything Bath & Body Works. It borders on too powdery for me, but its sweet enough to pull through. I usually wear this when I'm not feeling foodie.

Scent notes: Blue freesia, white peach, fresh clementine, violet & clean musk

Seasons: Mid spring to mid summer, possibly late summer

Its nice and clean. Not too floral for me to hate, and sweet enough for me to enjoy. 3.5/5

Strawberry Pound Cake

A very foodie-fruity scent, the strawberry is very powerful while the cake brings in some softness. My husband is not a fan of super-sweet b...
