This was originally mentioned in the "Beauty Rush Newness" thread, but I thought it'd be nice if they had a thread of their own. They're up on the website now. I think the packaging looks gorgeous, but I think the names are kinda boring considering they're Secret Garden scents.

Dewy Peach
Juicy Apple
Ripe Berry

Hmmm, those sound like they could be good...I think I'll have to try the peach and the berry one. Apple scents usually don't agree with me.

I'll probably try the peach and berry one too. I'm beyond tired of Apple scents right now. I'm looking forward to the new BR scents more, but I'll still give these a chance.

I saw the Sensual Fruits collection today, but I didn't buy any since I bought a lot of stuff yesterday.

Dewy Peach: Smells like BBW Peach Nectar. I like this one the most.

Juicy Apple: Smells like PA Apple/Apple Fizz.

Ripe Berry: Smelled like TD Raspberry Granita to me at first, but then I smelled the mist, which didn't smell like anything. That subsequently made my resniffs of the lotion & body wash smell not much like anything. I may end up giving this one a 2nd chance.

Also, the Secret Garden deal is now 8 for $35 (technically 7 for $35 & get one free). I think I'll be doing some stocking up.

Thanks for the reviews, Megan! The Dewy Peach sounds really good. And with the sale, I'll probably be doing some stocking up too.

Megan I agree with your reviews. I tried them all again today. It was weird the sprays smell different than the shower gels and lotions.

I ended up buying Ripe Berry shower gel. Whats funny is I kept saying it reminded me of something I had smelled before. You are right, it does smell similar to TD Raspberry Granita.

I liked all of these when I went in to smell them, I so don't need anything new right now though.

I heard on MUA that there's a new Secret Garden scent called Berry Kiss. Apparently it's only available in the mist set right now. It's on the end in this photo. I'm curious as to whether this will receive a full launch or not.

Thanks for the info, Megan! Berry Kiss sounds like it could be pretty good, I'm definitely curious about trying it out!

Thanks for bringing that info here, Megan! Berry Kiss definitely sounds like a scent I would be interested in! I would love to try it out soon, but it wouldn't be worth getting the mist set just for that one. Right now to say that I don't need the rest of those Garden scent mists would be the understatement of the year.

I really hope it does get a full launch, because VS has come out with a lot more products that I've enjoyed than BBW has this year. I don't think they would bring out a new scent only available in one form and only as part of a single set though...but I could be wrong of course. Anyway, hopefully we'll be able to get some more info on this one soon. Maybe there will be a full launch of the scent, but it will be LE out for short time?

It will be launched on its own.. I'm not sure if it's limited edition or not, though. I heard that it was tested and came out as being more popular than Love Spell (VS's long-time #1 seller).

Thanks for the info, Amanda. Wow, it sounds promising if people liked it just as much or even more than Love Spell.

Why am I not surprised VS seems to always come out with more interesting stuff than BBW?

Berry Kiss sounds kinda neat in comparison to the 'leaves' and 'blossoms' from BBW.

That little set is only $22 compared to similar offerings from The Body Shop.

Love Spell smells like oranges to me.

Pear Glace I can't stand. It's evil and must be destroyed. A total 90s Tanya Harding fragrance.

Agreed!

Berry Kiss is coming out next week! I think it smells ok... it was very light. The color of it is really pretty, though.

VS is also launching body butters in a bunch of fragrances - Vanilla Lace, Endless Love, Sweet Temptation, Blossoming Romance (?), Ooh La La, Heavenly, and a couple other prestige fragrances.

Also coming out are Secret Garden Blossoms. If anybody remembers way back around 1998 when VS had the EDT in tube-shaped bottles with a flower cap, they'll find these very similar. They're coming in Amber Romance, Pure Seduction, Berry Kiss, and Love Spell. The flowers on the top aren't that nice; they're like foam cutouts, but overall the idea is cute.

Oooooooooo Thanks Amanda,

I LOVE VS body butters and Vanilla Lace will be a great addition.

Ditto on Berry Kiss.

Seems like VS is coming out with a LOT more interesting stuff than BBW.

I'm soo excited! I love VS!

Amanda, do you happen to know the notes of Berry Kiss? Or just what it reminds you of?

Any idea on when all this is coming out?

Awwwww Jeff and Meg! I love Pear Glace!! It's one of the few VS scents I keep in my stash at all times. I'm not a big fan of Love Spell but my dupe sells very well so I keep it in stock. I don't understand why people buy it from me when they can just go to VS. I'll bet the body butter will be nice!

Oooh Thanks Amanda for the great info!!!

I am really excited for Vanilla Lace body butter. Vanilla Lace is my favorite VS Garden scent. I will definitely be buying that.

Berry Kiss has Raspberry, Praline, and Rose. I don't smell the rose in it at all, though.. mainly just raspberry with a vanilla edge. It's nice.. it doesn't really remind me of anything.

I'm really excited about the Vanilla Lace body butter, too! I've been hoping for it for a long time.

Everything is set to launch on the 29th.
