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.

Did you pick up Strawberry Soda?

Love it?

Do share your thoughts.

    I picked it up last week and I love it. As I�ve gotten older a lot of their stuff has started to make me sick because it has a musky smell to it. But not Strawberry Soda! I�m excited.

  • Stacey Damiano

    I loved strawberry soda! The cherry limeade was a bit disappointing for me bc I was really looking forward to it but the strawberry is amazing to me! Also hauled coconut colada which is awesome! Stay Cool and Be Safe!

    • Isabella Muse

      Yay! I’m glad you got it. It was delicious! I was impressed! You too my dear!

  • kel b.

    • Isabella Muse

  • MiMi

    I DID! I caved after seeing it in a few places. it is amazing! I sprayed myself DOWN yesterday! ^_^
    the store I went to only had 1 of the ultra body cream left and I should have gotten it but I have this thing about buying the last of something. so I got the body spray ^_^

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL oh my god so do I! I always feel like it’s used or something!

  • Sara

    I bought strawberry soda and I�m in love with it- I had to go back for more. 4 lotions, 2 shower gels and one body mist later I�m kinda sad I didn�t buy more before it sold out in my store. Lol to me it smells like a strawberry mentos tastes. I�ll put it on until my stash runs out and hope they bring it back again!

    • Isabella Muse

      YAYYYYY! Totally worth backups! It’s gorgeous! IT DOES! oh my god yes! You’re right!

    I live in Canada and ordered Strawberry Soda and 2 other body mists.and waited almost a month. I absolutely love it. At first spray it is pure strawberry. And after an hour , it is a dry down that reminds me of fresh strawberries on a dessert , not cloying and not too intense. Well worth the wait.

    • Isabella Muse

      Yay! Glad you got them! I thought it was amazing. really a great scent! Bath and Body Works needs to do more like this ;-D

      • Tanya J

        I sure hope so too. I have about 30 or more different scents. I absolutely am unable to stop purchasing. Living in Canada , online shopping is a bit much , but worth it. Do you have any idea if and when they’re putting Strawberry Soda , Coastal Hydrangeas and Fresh Coconut Colada back In stock ? Just wondering because I can’t seem to find a yay or nay.
        Thank you for responding so quickly.

        • Isabella Muse

          Aw the sale ends very soon so I doubt it! I hate to disappoint you but I don’t see them restocking.

          • Tanya J

            Ok. That is what I was worried about. I’m glad i bought them when I did. Thank you.

  • Hanna

    Do you have any thoughts on the Ultimate Hydration Body Cream versus the Ultra Shea Body Cream formulas? Have you had a chance to try the new formula?

    • Isabella Muse

      Hi Hanna! Sadly haven’t tried the new formula yet! So can’t compare!

  • Justine

    I love it, I was supposed to give it as a gift but I used it instead. The scent stays long and people complimented me over it.
