Hi Melissa! I picked up Platinum in the mist during the last $5.95 mist sale. To me Platinum is like as if Dream Bright and Into The Night had a baby to make Platinum. I also get elements of Luminous and tiny touches of Confetti Daydream. I like Platinum, but I don't feel the need to get a perfume or any other forms of it. I'm happy with the two full sized mists I picked up during the sale.
I do not like Platinum by itself. I'm not into patchouli at all. But an employee told me she likes to layer it with Vanilla Romance, bc she doesn't like it alone either. Game changer!! It smelled so delicious paired with Vanilla Romance! Next mist sale I'm gonna have to pick one up!
I will have to try that scent combo and see if I like it! Vanilla Romance was another one of those scents I normally would have enjoyed but it ended up way too musky on my skin! 🤦♀️ I most definitely am going to try them together to see if they bring out the best in each other on me! 😁
Thanks for the vlog Melissa ☺️ - haven't had a chance to get into the store for awhile, but I look forward to going in to experience some of the new stuff. From your description of Platinum I don't think that I'll be a fan either, I don't like A thousand Wishes or generally scents like it , so we'll have to see. Great choices on your employee gratis, very warm and cozy perfect for Fall. Really happy that the spray hand sanitizer is back, on the laundry products, so far up here in Canada I've only seen a much smaller selection of them, but probably wouldn't be willing to pay the asking price 😅 - Though the scent boosters sound sort of interesting.
Thank you! You'll have to let me know what you think of Platinum once you get a chance to visit in store next time. Sounds like the reviews are fairly mixed, a lot of people like it and a lot of people don't! 😅 I agree, it's great to have the spray sanitizers back. Even though they are smaller I actually think the size is super convenient for packing away in the car or my bag on the go. And I also agree on that; the laundry products are a bit more expensive than I'm willing to regularly purchase. Now if they made a scent that I can't resist, like Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte (a girl can hope for next Fall anyway lol) then I'd be willing to buy on sale. 🫧
Haha I know, it must be one of those things when you smell something familiar, your brain autocorrects the other scents in ith it that it normally smells at the same time! 😅 Magazine ink in this case!
Hey Melissa, nice Gratis. I picked up the Platinum body wash as a freebie, I like the scent. I've been using Pineapple Mango laundry detergent and the trick is to use less since its ULTRA concentrated so you won't get that film on your clothes including socks. I mentioned this to an employee here and he appreciated the insight. I've bought a few single wick candles like Chocolate Covered Orange and Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow and have yet to use them. I'll get them at their cheapest throughout the year. I'm currently using the Vampire Blood foaming hand soap aka raspberry and plum scent which is really nice and festive for this month and now burning the Happy Diwali Patchouli & Rosewood (have it in room spray form) candle, quite strong here in the bedroom and YC's discontinued medium single wick 2019 jar Pumpkin Apple Parfait. I recently bought 13 Christmas room sprays and unfortunately missed the foaming hand soap sale where I could've bought the new Christmas soaps. I might get Winter and Platinum single wick jars pretty soon. I have Brown Sugar Coconut and the rest of the Trailblazer collection. Interesting collection, the Mango one is my favorite. Happy product using and candle burning.
I love 9 of the ten Everyday Luxuries (not a Santel fan). I pair them with either an unscented lotion or one from BBW or VS that carries similar vibes.
First, love the shirt! I have been reignited in my Twilight obsession this past month. 😆🧛 I never wanted to watch Stranger Things because I don't really like creepy things and that flower looking thing with the teeth creeps me out. I use the hand sanitizer sprays on surfaces too! It's really handy on classroom podiums when I move from room to room not knowing who else has used the computer and desk.
I do like Oh Cherry! I also picked up Pink Obsessed because I have the Donna Born in Roma perfume and it’s one of my favorites! Yes I wish the luxury came in a lotion and shower gel. I like Platinum surprisingly. I got it during a sale. Thanks Melissa!!
Yeah, I think Oh Cherry was the best for me, although you're the second person that's given Pink Obsessed a thumbs up, so I may need to try that one on my skin again and see what I think! 😁🎀 I'm glad you're enjoying Platinum too! 🩶
Nice Gratus hall,😊 I like platinum but don't love it but my Daughter does and I know when we went into the store to smell it and she smelled it first and said oh I like it, I knew I wasn't going to love it 😀 we have opposite taste in smells 😂 I am waiting for perfect pink 🎀 I hope I like it. Thanks Melissa for sharing your products. 😊💕
Haha isn't it funny how we all have different taste in scents? I have a coworker like that...if they like the scent, I usually don't, and if I like it, they usually don't either! We are just opposites that way! 😅 I like Perfect in Pink much better than Platinum personally. We just set up the table for it last night, so you'll have to pop in store sometime to give it a try! 🩷
Hi Melissa, I appreciate your honesty about the detergents. I was wondering what you think of the Bath and Body shampoos? A co- worker likes Japanese Cherry Blossom. What four products would you give in this line for a holiday gift. Not sure if I should give the shampoo.
What a nice haul! Was cool to see what they've been including from your floorsets. But also since when did you have a twilight shirt?? Maybe it's been a while and I've just never noticed 🤷
Hi Melissa, I love that shirt! I was wondering, do you think B&BW has limited the Luxury collection to the mists only because they want it to stand apart from the regular mists? Maybe make it seem more like actual perfume that stands alone w/o additional body care? I really wish they would add different forms, I love the Floral Fantasy one better than its "inspiration." I remember taking a customer survey where they did ask about my preference for buying these scents in add'l forms, so I guess they have thought about it at least.
I asked someone (whose opinion I value on how I smell) what they thought of Platinum and the response I got was not favorable. He said it smells like an old woman who hadn’t bathed recently and was wearing a really bad old perfume. 😳 It only got worse on my skin… He said it gave off nursing home vibes. Needless to say I won’t be wearing it. The funny thing is, I know someone who will love this scent, so I will be gifting it to someone as a birthday gift. I have tried the laundry products. For me I have found I prefer to use Tide free with the Bath & Body Works scent boosters. I like the more fruity fun fragrances, so Champagne Toast is one I have repurposed a couple times now. I also have them in Ocean for Mike. The fragrance left behind is not overwhelming or anything, it’s light, but there. I look forward to hearing what you think after you’ve tried the scent boosters. Thank you for sharing all your goodies with us! 😊
@@PodieM18 When he said it to me, this is literally someone who has only told me one scent didn’t smell good on me once in 18+ years, I was shocked by his response. I mean I didn’t like it, but my mind didn’t go that far down the rabbit hole! 😂 I did think, maybe this is a more mature scent, but I didn’t in my mind think “nursing home.” Unfortunately, I can sort of see where he was coming from the more I smell it in paper. I guess this is why scent is subjective. I’m sure there are people who will love it. ☺️
@@Nicole_0421 did you like Dream Bright and Luminous, I liked both of those but don't like A Thousand Wishes or Into the Stars, both too overpowering and mature for my liking....
Good morning! It's smart to shop with a buddy when trying new scents so that way they can give you an honest opinion about body chemistry. My coworkers and I always compare what the new scents smell like on each other. Usually there is one of us that it smells amazing on, and on another person, it smells terrible! In this case, I had a coworker try Platinum on and it almost smelled like grapes because of the fruity notes being pulled. It smelled so much better on them than it did on me! 😅 I'm glad you're enjoying the scent boosters, I think they smell so good in the bottle so I can't wait to try. I'm just finishing up some already opened up laundry products before I dip into my BBW ones! 🫧
@@MelissaC I've heard about the grape smell from others on reddit. lol It doesn't smell like grapes on me but I like it! Then again, I like Dream Bright and Into the Night (moisturizers/candles - I don't wear their body mists) so maybe I'm part of the core audience they were going for. lol
I haven't tried any of the laundry products. In fact, my free sample from when they were about to launch is still sitting with the rest of our laundry detergent. Lol I'm not a Stranger Things fan, either, so I didn't look at any of the products. I also don't watch Emily in Paris, but I am more interested in that collection when it comes out, based on the scent notes. If they're going to keep doing collaborations with Netflix shows, I'd love to see a Sweet Magnolias collection. My mom and I watch it, and I think they could do some nice fragrances inspired by the show/characters.
Hahaha aw man, my laundry sample sat around for a long time too. I've been starting to hear about the Emily in Paris collab and again, never heard or seen it before. The scents do sound a little more up my alley in comparison to the Stranger Things collab like you said too! I've not heard of Sweet Magnolias either. I personally would enjoy if BBW stuck closer to more wholesome and charming things to collaborate with! 😅
I'm not loving BBW trying to keep up with Tik Tok trends. I prefer old school 2015, 2018 like you said Melissa. The only one I liked was If You Musk because I have been patiently waiting for Kaleidoscope to come back for ever and they are the same. Platinum is so crazy to me because first time I smelled it I got Pure Wonder dna then the next day it smelled like Dream Bright to me. When my daughter wore it, it smelled Like Valentino on her so idk. Its a chameleon haha never saw a fragrance be compared to so many diff perfumes lol I'm so jelly everytime you show your gratis. I worked pt seasonal for bbw holiday 2019 and I never got anything like what you get. Do you think full time employees get more gratis or did I work for a crappy store lol
Yeah, I think it's just me getting older but I just don't get excited when I see things like "now trending" or "viral" when used as marketing for BBW...I want the bright colors, and whimsical or cartoony imagery. I like scents that are more straight forward and for-fun like Pumpkin Cupcake, Apple Harvest, or like at Christmastime; Sugar Plum, Christmas Cookies, etc. I'm not as into the fancier, curated blends for my own personal usage. But that's okay...I know BBW well enough that they always have fun ideas and tricks up their sleeves with constant new releases, so I know I'll love other things they release later! I agree! Platinum is oddly familiar, and kept reminding me of other BBW scents I've tried, yet still difficult to place my finger on! I also noticed its similarities to Dream Bright! Yeah, the management team does get a few more things than the rest of the staff for gratis. They should probably have been printing out the gratis sheet so everyone can see what they were eligible for rather than going by word of mouth. They've upgraded their online database so now all employees can see what gratis they are eligible when they log in, and can even log in from home, which was not a thing in 2019. I know that with seasonal hires sometimes it's hard to get them their gratis within the window if they don't work very often since we do have to redeem them at a certain time, so I wonder if you accidentally missed out on some that way? 😦
Toothpaste!! Oh boy I need to smell it now that I've heard that one! It's sounding like everyone is having a very different experience with Platinum, some good and some less than good! 😅🪥
I just use the scent booster for the first time the other day, and the scent on the clean clothes was not that impressive. On sale, it’s probably worth it, but they’re not the best product
I think you're great and love your style of videos, but as a testament that each nose is different, I find Platinum to be entirely different than A thousand wishes. So different in fact that I really enjoy one and dislike the other. It's just very odd how our individual scent perceptions work....😊
Same here. I really don't like A Thousand Wishes but I do like Platinum (at least in the moisturizers). There are just too many notes I dislike in A Thousand Wishes that stand out in an unfavorable way (to my nose/brain).
Thank you, I totally understand that. Everyone perceives things differently when it comes to scents. I think between nose, brain, preference, and body chemistry; a scent can be completely different from person to person! 🩶
I hear ya, none of them smelled amazing to me. I appreciate their scents and can see them working for other people, they just aren't what I like to wear! 😌
Hi Melissa! I picked up Platinum in the mist during the last $5.95 mist sale. To me Platinum is like as if Dream Bright and Into The Night had a baby to make Platinum.

Your so pretty 😊

That would have been neat! 😌

I think because the mist are so strong scented on there own that they didn’t see a need to bring creams or lotions
Yes, I think you're right about that. Since they are supposed to be like perfumes, I think they wanted them to be like main characters! ✨
Are they ever going to bring back You're the One permenantly??? I miss it 💔😓
I saw that we got some in shipment the other day in the form of room sprays! I haven't heard any word of it's official return otherwise though! 🌹
