This post is Scooby Doo Porn Parodypart of Mashable's You're Old Week. Break through the haze of nostalgia with us and see what holds up, what disappoints, and what got better with time.
Perhaps it was a body spray you kept stashed in your locker. Perhaps it was a shower gel you pulled out for special occasions (homecoming, the Sadie Hawkins dance, your big science presentation on porpoises). Or maybe it was a body lotion that you slathered all over your legs before debuting your fresh new bubble skirt.
Whatever it was, it was your signature. Your calling card. Your favorite Bath & Body Works scent.
Now, a lot of those fragrances are technically retired -- although you can still find most of them on the Bath & Body Works website. Others, like Sweet Pea and Warm Vanilla Sugar, are still going strong. And, according to a rep, the store brings back a few old favorites each year as part of its semi-annual sale.
But which classic scent reigns supreme? We realize everyone's loyalties are different, so it's hard to pick a true, objective winner. But that's never stopped us from ranking anything before, so we pooled our nostalgia resources here at Mashable (which are sizable) and did it anyway.
We had a hard time finding anyone who remembered Pearberry, a scent that combines two okay smells -- pears and berries -- into something that is also okay. Would be better as a room spray.
Country Apple does not necessarily match its name. It smells more like cider than an apple in the open air. As one reviewer pointed out, though, it mostly smells like "straight up shampoo."
A scent called "Freesia" is currently featured on the Retired section of the Bath & Body Works website. We assume this is an updated version of Sheer Freesia, which was a delightful, even delicate scent; however, as we learned from the deeply upsetting reviews, it sucks now. Sorry!
A pleasant scent, but not one particularly unique to Bath & Body Works. Plus, seems suited for a candle, not for a spritz before AP Chem. What if Jeremy thinks you smell like laundry?
This is the rare Bath & Body Works "night fragrance," which refers to a fragrance that is definitelyto be worn at night (before curfew). Twilight Woods is not the best night fragrance at Bath & Body Works, but it is good. Think vanilla, fruit that is dark in color, a musk of some kind. Perfect for a cozy night of pretending to watch Almost Famouswith your high school BF.
In the early aughts, sticky bottles of this cloying scent occupied the wire bathroom shelves of teens everywhere. Yes, Sun-Ripened Raspberry is iconic, but we do not recommend smelling it in 2018. Let the haze of nostalgia win this time.
The light, floral Plumeria was a surprising favorite among Mashable staffers. It also has by far the most beautiful name -- if you, for some reason, wanted to downplay the fact that you're wearing Bath & Body Works, please know that "I'm wearing Plumeria" sounds fancy as hell.
A citrus icon! Mango Mandarin is one of those scents that feels distinctly middle school, which is great, because a lot of people wore it in middle school. It smells like an orange Creamsicle, but if someone tried to make them healthy.
We are extremely inspired by the color of Juniper Breeze, which falls at the exact median of its two components: juniper berries and "evergreens."
Moonlight Path is Bath & Body Works's foremost night fragrance. It has a devoted following -- one Mashable staffer even called it her "ride or die." It is also by far Bath & Body Works's sexiest offering. Do with that information what you will!
This is a scent for cool people. If the inside of someone's locker smelled like Japanese Cherry Blossom, that locker also contained a neon plastic mirror and a collection of glitter stickers so vast, they were visible from a full twenty lockers away. Even today, the delicate fragrance is a real "crowd pleaser" -- even if glitter stickers are still waiting for their true renaissance.
Honestly, we don't have jokes to make about this one. Cucumber Melon is a crisp, classic icon -- the flattering mid-rise jean of fragrances. It's even... subtle? Dang.
Now and forever, Warm Vanilla Sugar will help you take your cozy scent game to the next level. Candles, lotion, hand soap, shower gel -- there's no such thing as too much Warm Vanilla Sugar, because you're going to smell like a cookie no matter what. Plus, smelling like food will probably make dogs lick you! Incredible.
Sweet Pea, queen of scents, embodies everything that makes Bath & Body Works so great. Think about it: it's pink. It has a name that could also be the name of a show pony. Its scent is extremely vague but somehow still overpowering. It's perfect. Douse your life in it.
