Bath & Body Works Review: CASHMERE GLOW

Bath & Body Works Cashmere Glow review


Bath & Body Works Review: Cashmere Glow Ultra Shea Body Cream


Bath & Body Works Description:  "Wrap yourself in Cashmere! Cashmere Glow envelops you in the warmth of vanilla & golden peach layered with luxurious cashmere musk."
Fragrance Notes: Vanilla, Golden Peach, Cashmere Musk

On cold sniff, this is nice. I'm not really sure what I'm smelling. Without looking at the fragrance notes, I smell musk, vanilla, light fruit & possibly a green floral note.

Upon application:  I can no longer smell the vanilla. It's ALL fruit & musk, This oddly reminds me of perfumes like TM Angel, which smells terrible on me. So many people love this type of fragrance but anything with "musk" in it can and will smell different on you, based on body chemistry. When I wear this, the musk turns into a new, sour soap smell, which is NOT what it smelled like on cold sniff. The vanilla is practically non-existant and the green note I thought I smelled on cold sniff is quite piercing. It's abrasive to my nose. I bought this based on it's 4.6/5 star review. Lots of people love it. Unfortunately, like Angel, this just doesn't smell good on me. I got 2 bottles because of the great reviews. I gave my extra one to my Aunt for Easter. I know it will smell good on HER. It just doesn't work on me. Still an excellent product that moisturizes well, goes on smooth, and absorbs into my skin quickly. IF the scent works with your body chemistry, it will last for approx 2 hours, or until you wash your hands again.

YANKEE CANDLE WEBSITE REVIEWS


  • Good smell but no throw

"while I love meadow showers, and this also has a clean fresh smell it has almost no throw. I can barely smell it. But, I have ordered nearly $2000 of products since just before Christmas with very few disappointments.The smell is terrific it just hard to smell. I am keeping because I don't the trouble of sending back but would not order this scent again."
   
  • My favorite!

"Summer Wish is a delicate, clean fragrance that fits anywhere in the house. It is my all-time favorite!"

  • Beautiful Scent!

"I first purchased Summer Wish when a friend's son sold Yankee Candles for a school fundraiser. Ever since then, I've been hooked! Fresh, lightly floral, clean. Makes my entire home smell amazing!"

  • Basically unscented

"I purchased this candle based on previewing the scent in one of the scented Yankee Candle catalogs. The smell is wonderful. Fresh, clean & pleasant. However the actual candle was a huge disappointment. I burned it for several hours in multiple environments and was never able to smell anything - AT ALL. I've been a Yankee customer for 20 years and this is the first time something was so bad I had to return it. I gave this candle 3 stars however because returning it was an absolute breeze. The store employee coudn't possibly have been any nicer. It's nice to see a company that stands behind it's products with a TRUE 100% money back guarantee. The employee said that this is one of their "lighter" scents. Maybe someone with a more sensitive nose will love this candle but I truly couldn't smell anything."

  • VERY Light scent

"This candle smells great! The problem is just that it has a minimal throw and really doesn't fill up a room. If lighter scented candles are your thing, then this is a great choice. I just prefer a little stronger of a scent than this particular candle gives."

  • what i hoped for

"although not as strong a scent as I prefer I do like this one".

  • Wishful Summer

"This is the first candle I bought. If you like a clean flower scent this is a great way to kick off a wishful summer! I did not think that the scent filled the room as strong as it did in the jar itself, I think if it was a little stronger scent in the air as it was lit, then I think it would make for an even better candle. (Try in a large, instead of medium) Otherwise I liked it! Great scent for in between spring and summer :D".

My closing thoughts: 
I got the heads up this fragrance will be retired this year, so get it while you can.
This candle seems to have a light throw...It still sounds like it would be a fun fragrance to try. What do "childhood memories" smell like? If it reminds me of growing up as a country kid, running around in the sunshine, climbing trees, and picking berries, being barefoot 24/7... I would like to try this. It seems the affordable way to do so is to buy a tart or votive off Amazon or Ebay.
Should I get to try this, I will post my review at a later date.



*Summer Wish was released in Jars, Votives, and Wax Tarts.
