Black Amethyst from Bath & Body Works

It’s fall, and I had a free coupon for Fekkai* samples from Bath & Bodyworks, so I decided to take a trip down the street and check out the latest & greatest. I discovered the new signature scent – which WAS on sale, so I grabbed a oil to lather warming cream shower cleanser, and the super rich body cream in the new Black Amethyst scent.

The marketing language says it is� ‘a hypnotic scent inspired by chic, sensual and confident women’ (hey, that’s me!) and I do love the scent. It’s complex enough to be interesting and not your college-girl tutti fruitti scent, but yet not so overpowering that I feel like I doused in Dior in 6 layers…know what I mean?

The combo of the oil cleanser and body creme is much more age-friendly to my skin needs too. I’ve noticed in the last couple of years that Victoria’s Secret body line just isn’t working with my skin these days, but B&BW lotions contain avocado and sweet almond oils that help keep my skin stay non-dry.

Notes from the Black Amythest fragrance line contain:

Fragrance Top notes: Bergamot Italian Oprur, Juicy Mandarin, Sparkling Tangerine, Zesty Orange, Waterfruits, Crisp Melon

Fragrance mid notes: Lily of the Valley, Magnolia Blossom, Sheer Gardenia, Tuberose, Freesia, Peony Petals, Camellia

Fragrance base notes: Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Vanilla, Musk

quicknote: If you are a fan of the Bath and Bodyworks Brown Sugar & Fig line, you might want to stock up now because it’s being discontinued. It’s on sale too, if that’s any consolation lol.

* The Fekkai samples were teeny-tiny sample packets, nothing exciting. And not enough to really give it a more than single use application for a good trial run.
