According to numerous sources, pleasant scents and fragrances could effectively reduce stress and provide quite a number of benefits for one's well-being.
I, for one, believe in the benefits of aromatherapy. This new-found love led me to an obsession with aromas, fragrances and scents. I have tried varieties of colognes, perfumes, lotions, oil-fragrances, reed diffusers, and even scented candles. Yes, the list goes on and on and on, but I don't mind. It's like happiness in a little bottle.
This love, though, started somewhere, and for all I know, the product that I'll be reviewing today is one of the few that influenced me to love fragrances in various forms. This is not a new scent; this was released by Bath and Body Works sometime in 2012, but I'll review it anyway.

Product Description:
Smooth over body to moisturize and lightly fragrance skin with our exclusive Pink Chiffon, an ultra-feminine blend of sparkling red pear, vanilla orchid and whipped chiffon musk inspired by the effortless grace and beauty of a master ballerina.
My Experience / Impressions:
When it was given to me, I wasn't really excited on slathering it on my skin. I mean, I don't really like lotions, especially those that don't have SPF. This, unfortunately, doesn't have SPF.
Also, my first sniff was not so memorable then. I initially thought that it's a scent that I won't like. So, I kept this on my shelf for a while, which is obviously a mistake because I ended up
I've been using this on my hands before going to sleep.
Read on if you'd like to know more.
BBW's packaging is really attractive. Well, as for this, you could probably see that it the container alone looks irresistible. It's made of plastic - but it's not the kind that would feel cheap on your hands. Plus, the cap seals really well.
None of the BBW lotions came with a box, or a complete plastic wrap, in case you're expecting such. Sometimes, the caps would only be sealed by some sort of adhesive, similar to a scotch tape. Sometimes, only the topmost portion of the bottle would be covered by a shrink wrap.
One concern though, I couldn't see signs of the manufacturing date or even the expiry date. As for the batch code, I suspect that it's the code right at the bottom of the container, but I might be wrong.

Fragrance
Like I mentioned earlier, I didn't like the scent at first. It smelt overpowering and it was overly floral. However, it became clear to me eventually that it was a mistake to judge a scent from smelling it right from its container. It should be allowed to come in contact with skin, and let its fragrance diffuse before making any judgments.
According to the official Bath and Body Works Website, the Pink Chiffon Body Lotion has the following fragrance notes:
* Top Notes: Sparkling Pear, Peach Nectar, Wild Berries
*Mid Notes: Tiare Flower, Jasmine Petals, Waterlily, Sheer Apple Blossom
*Dry Notes: Coconut Milk, Vanilla Orchid, Creamy Sandalwood, Chiffon Musk
To be honest, I really don't know how some of the notes actually smell, and for one, I recognize some scents on the list, but I couldn't tell for sure if I could smell them on the lotion. I guess, I could only smell some hints of pears and berries, and the rest is a combination of a lot of other notes.
I could also detect some sillage on it, but it's not too overpowering, in my opinion. It's a bit pleasant, actually.
It's definitely an ultra-feminine/floral scent, which could remind you of a young ballerina. I guess, the description really comes close to how I imagine the scent would be. I love the scent because it's not overpowering, and it's really close to a HAPPY scent, which indeed, made my bad days better.
Lotion
Aside from the scent, I don't find anything special about it. It is indeed non-greasy and moisturizes a bit, but it's still the typical lotion - I find it uncomfortable to use during daytime, and it's too warm to use in a humid country such as ours. One thing I appreciate also, is the fact that it doesn't leave a white cast on your skin, like most lotions do.
I opt to use it as a hand cream every night though. I love smelling it on my hands during evenings.
