Bath & Body Works Strawberry Soda Fragrance Mist Really Is Middle School All Over Again
I caved! I purchased Bath & Body Strawberry Soda Fragrance Mist and Body Lotion and I REGRET NOTHING! Nothing I TELL YOU! Bath & Body Works Strawberry Soda Fragrance Mist released for the Semi-Annual Sale 2021. Bath & Body Works is sort of weird with these exclusive sale scents. They started doing these about a two years ago or so….they would say “fan favorites” and “retired scents” would be available but also, they’d throw in these scents they’ve never done before and right out for the gate they would me marked down and sort of a sale exclusive. I don’t hate this at all! I think it’s great because the sale sucks so hard that I’m actually grateful to see something brand new and on sale.
As you know I did place myself on a ban but the price on these dropped for under $4 bucks at which point I was like screw this I need to just go do a haul already!
Strawberry Soda is actually one of the very few Bath & Body Works scents that actually smells like its name! I’m talking to you Pumpkin Cupcake! You smell NOTHING LIKE Pumpkin Cupcake damn you!
Seriously though, have you had that weird Bath & Body Works phenomenon happen to you? They’ll name something “Chocolate Chip Cookies” and it ends up smelling nothing at all like cookies or chocolate anything. It’s so damn annoying.
You have no worries with Strawberry Soda! It literally smells just like strawberry soda.
When I was a kid one of my favorite things to do was let a Fla-Vor-Ice melt down so I could drink the juice. I swear Bath & Body Works Strawberry Soda smells just like a Fla-Vor-Ice or a strawberry ice pop of some kind. First mist is a sweet, fruity strawberry note that’s incredibly realistic to some sort of candy, ice pop, or strawberry gum. It’s not a true strawberry scent but more a generic one but still very, very pleasant.
It’s no effervescent or fizzy like say Champagne Toast but it does have a sort of cool, refreshing note to it. Some of the initial sweetness wears away as it dries down and you’re left with a pretty layer of strawberry.
It’s a little immature and juvenile but very fun and very pretty. It brings back middle school days for sure! But I don’t mind in the least as sometimes you just have to embrace being a kid again and I have no problems doing just that.
