Bath & Body Works Mahogany Teakwood Fine Fragrance Mist

Bath & Body Works Mahogany Teakwood Fine Fragrance Mist is my new favorite product of the entire year. The Bath & Body Works gods decided to finally gift us with a Mahogany Teakwood bath and body collection and I, for one, couldn’t be happier (ecstatic actually!).

Take a look!

We’ve had some version or another of Mahogany Teakwood in candle format for year’s now but never a bath and body collection with the fragrance so how delightful is that the scent has been made into an entire line of body products as well as a fragrance?

Problem….I WISH they had introduced an EDT (or better yet an EDP) in this formula because the fine fragrance mist without layering doesn’t last very long one me. I have some weird body chemistry because Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist is like misting myself with water. It lasts an hour tops on my skin before fading into the great beyond.

But ah the joy of Mahogany Teakwood while it does last!

This delightful blend is warm, gorgeous, and utterly unisex. It’s a very a masculine fragrance with notes of mahogany, teakwood, and oakmoss. There are softer herbal such as lavender and harder florals like geranium here too but I feel like the fragrance is dominated by the mahogany, teakwood, and oakmoss with a warm musky dry down. For me it smells like a generic men’s perfume maybe like Polo Sport or something. Don’t take this as being bad though! It just feels like a really warm, hard hug from a great smelling guy! It’s very much a manly fragrance…!

As a woman who likes girly girl sweet and fruity fragrances I do have moments where I actually like something unique and different and that’s exactly what Mahogany Teakwood delivers.

Unfortunately as I mentioned above this one is for layering because it has really poor linger. The throw is beautiful at first but it really wears away super fast. It is available in a shower gel, body lotion, and body cream but I’m not a big fan of Bath & Body Works body lotion as it is a bit sticky but layering is key here so the fragrance lasts longer.

Now if we could only get Bath & Body Works to introduce a Mahogany Teakwood perfume I would be a happy girl!

Bath & Body Works Mahogany Teakwood Fine Fragrance Mist is available now in stores or grab it online at www.bathandbodyworks.com.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Totally agree. I was ecstatic that they have the Mist and Triple Moisture in this scent but I’ve been using the spray since it arrived last week and it’s scent doesn’t last long at.all. </3

    • Isabella Muse

      sigh doesn’t it suck? It’s SO pretty but it won’t last on me at all 🙁

  • Len

    You are so right. I love the scent but I wish it stuck around. I really should get another bottle since its on sale and keep one in my purse for every hour sprays. LOL.

    • Isabella Muse

      that’s what I did! On decanted a small amount and just touch up through the day!

  • Carrie

    I was so happy when I clicked this and then I did a total 180 when I read about how the scent doesn’t last. This is my favorite scent, Bath and Body Works!! It should last longer!

    I love warm and masculine fragrances, especially at fall and winter…they make me feel sexy somehow? Anyway, I’m gonna have to try this! I didn’t know this was one of their new fragrances!

    • Isabella Muse

      yup, this peach Bellini and eucalyptus and spearmint are three new fragrances.

    Ohmigod I just found this last week! I’m always on the lookout for strong, unique fragrances from B&BW and I feel like over the years, they’ve gotten less substantial. I like noticeable scents like Dark Kiss, Midnight Pomegranate, Gardenia Lily, White Tea and Ginger (which they resurrected for the sale!!!!!!), etc…they lasted ALL DAY on me… Now I just feel like their scents are too light and disappear in 20 minutes. The only recent one that lasts for me is Madagascar Vanilla. Oh, and when I find one I like I buy the shower gel, body cream, and spray. I always layer.

    I bought this fragrance as a body wash two days ago and like it a lot too. I noticed BBW had lots of great ‘calming’ scents, like their ginger/tea and the eucalyptus/spearmint (both of which I picked up as well).
    HOWEVER, if you never picked up Philosophy’s Lemonade Stand trio this spring/summer I suggest you do. They have a ginger tea combo that smells Amazing! The whole set is really excellent! 🙂

    • Isabella Muse

      thanks Miss D! I haven’t so I guess I need it haha 😀 thanks!

  • Courtney

    Yay! I cant wait to try it – is it weird that I also wish they had a marshmallow fireside perfume?!? That is my favorite fall/winter scent!
