Yes!

I have quite a few old BBW scents:

Happy Daisy
Iced Pineapple
Gardenia Lily

Absolute Tulip
Vanilla Bean
Sunsweet Kiwi
Seaspray
Refreshing Garden Mint
Spiced Vanilla
Sparkling Snowflake
Herbal Mist
Dream Fields
Toasted Hazelnut
Violet Bouquet


This isn't a full list, but what I remember offhand.

Oooh, I do! I have:

Toasted Hazelnut lotion
Flowering Herbs splash (this is from, like, 1996. It kind of just smells like alcohol now. )
Citrus Punch splash
Iced Pineapple splash
Cool Watermelon lotion
Peach Nectar sheer lotion spray
Juniper Breeze lotion in one of those round mini bottles
I also have one of those lotions that turns into powder in Strawberry Lemonade. Those were really cool.

I don't buy old stuff from eBay or anything; this is just stuff I bought a long time ago and didn't get around to using.

It's really hard to describe. I don't get any pineapple from it... the best description I can say is one that's in the "BBW" book written by a MUA member... she compares it to Johnson's baby shampoo. I sent a few members here a sample of it last year, maybe they can describe it better. It's not a great scent at all.

eta: Just before I moved, when I was packing my BBW stuff, I noticed that the bottle had cracked due to old age. I went ahead and packed it anyway, but I haven't unpacked that box... it's in storage out in the garage somewhere. I'm hoping it hasn't all dried up, but it may have. I just like to have it around for nostalgic purposes.


I thought of another old scent I have after reading Becky's post - Wild Poppy. I love that scent!

You sent me Wild Poppy TDJ! I'll always be grateful.

The oldest BBW scent I have is Violet Bouquet. That is, if we don't count the Peach Nectar shower gels I have, but those were from last summer's Semi-Annual Sale.

I keep forgetting that I have a lotion and shower gel in Spiced Vanilla, courtesy of our lovely TDJunkie.

I'll have to start using it soon before it goes bad.

Jade, they were these thin, watery lotions in a little plastic bottle, maybe 6 ounces? They had pumps with a small hole at the top for the lotion to come out. So you just rub it on your skin like you would with any normal lotion, except this kind turned into a really light, silky, powdery consistency. They were so nice, especially in the summer. I'm guessing they probably came out around '97, because I'm pretty sure I was in junior when I bought it. (I'm 24 now.) I just tried mine last year for the first time in years, though, and it was kind of chunky when I applied it.
It's my own fault for not using it for ten years, I guess. I really need to stop hoarding all this stuff.

TDJ sent me a sample of Bamboo Pineapple. It didn't smell like pineapple at ALL! It actually sort of had an old house smell to it That's just my opinion.

Thanks for the description ladypilot
