I am not really the frilly type of woman, if I have a choice between a frill and a straight seam, I'll almost always go for the straight seam (except with costumes, but that's a story for another time!). One of my few girly girl indulgences is bubble baths and scented lotions. And I'm very particular about them...no patchouli or musk for me, light floral scents all the way!
Bath and Body Works has been a favorite in the past, starting with Absolute Tulip, through to the original Honeysuckle, then Gardenia, then Water Blossom Ivy. You may notice a trend here....they are all gone from the stores now. It seems as though I no sooner settle on a new scent than it's being retired.
As though that weren't enough, now Crabtree and Evelyn, that stalwart of refined scents, has retired my favorite of their scents: Lily of the Valley. Great. I've gobbled up as much as I can of the shower gel and lotion that a local store has, but when it's gone, I have no idea what I'm going to do, because their new lily scent, "imaginatively" titled "Lily", is nowhere near as good as the Lily of the Valley. And none of the new Bath and Body Works scents are worth the price.
I am now boycotting Bath and Body Works. They are the ultimate teasers...they get you hooked on a scent and then make it impossible to get. I'm sure they are trembling in their collective corporate boots just praying that I don't go public with my dismissal of their wares!
