I had been a customer of Bath and Body Works only last year. Sometime between October and November and I had a haul for quite a few times. But I would not say a regular customer as I make purchase only when they have a sale or promotion. God knows there's no way I would buy or afford their product on a regular price. So many things has been going on in my life that buying an expensive product for me is a no ~ no not unless it is my birthday or something very important has happened in my life.
I don't have any purchase from Bath and Body Works from late November until March in spite of them participating in January's Dubai Shopping Festival or DSF. In fact I was disappointed in their supposed to be biggest sale ever. That biggest sale ever turned out to be only for products I don't even know/recognized and not for all items inside their store. So even if I badly wanted to try out their Aromatherapy line I stayed away from it just because I can't bring myself to shell out 45AED for a bottle. Instead I patiently waited if there will come a time that it will be included in their promotion. And so imagine my surprised when April came and finally... (drum roll please) Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy is finally on sale tooooo!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I got myself all the variants as can be seen in the photos below.
I was interested in Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy as someone gave me a bottle of body gel/wash. And from that I knew that it will be my favorite out of all the products the Bath and Body Works offer. In the past I have tried at least 6 or was it 9 variants of their body wash and even those in spite of having different names/scents they seem to have one thing in common: being extra insanely sweet that I feel 'suya' or 'umay' if I will use it everyday. Well in English word they say that the translation is fed up. Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy has a strong scent too just like the other products but what makes them apart is the scents are more natural and something you wouldn't get tired of. There is a reason why it is called Aromatherapy anyway.
I started using it immediately. And when I do so only them I realized that this line actually has 4, wait is variant a correct term? I mean there is a Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep, Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Stress Relief, Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Energy and last but not the least Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Sensual. I asked Google for reviews ~ looks like this has been around since 2012. And there has been other variants that seems to be available in the US only. And not outside. Or maybe those has been phased out? I don't know. I'm not too sure. Bath and Body Works as well as Victoria's Secret are from the same company and they love to do that with their products ~ introduced something and when you start loving it they will discontinue without giving a reason why or at least asking the customers ☻
A bottle of Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy retails for 45.00AED slightly lower than Bath and Body Works Signature Collection. But since it was on promotion of Buy 3, Take 3 I paid 135AED for 6 bottles. Making a bottle 22.50AED each. And the amount of 22.50AED a bottle isn't bad at all and it is the normal amount of lotions you'll get at Carrefour. But of course the huge difference between those from Carrefour and BBW is this scent lasts longer. Here are the Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep in Lavender Vanilla and Lavender Chamomile. I first used the Lavender Vanilla and surprisingly I enjoyed it in spite of me not really into Lavender scent. Makes sleeping more pleasant. If only budget is not an issue for me (as always) I would have gone back and purchase shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body scrub ~ in short the complete line. But then since financial is always a hindrance for me I just have to be content with my body lotions for now. At least I get to use a different scent every night. And here are the Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Stress Relief in Eucalyptus Spearmint and Eucalyptus Tea. Upon first use of these I thought there was no difference until after a few seconds. I mean they smell the same for me. But Eucalyptus Spearmint is called that way for a reason. After a few seconds I felt a minty sensation in my body. Which makes me wonder how would I feel once the summer is in full bloom over here. Our summer in UAE is like being in one big oven. Imagine 50 degrees Celsius. I think it would be best to use in in Winter. Or just at night when I'm about to go to sleep but never when I'm about to go out of the house and be exposed in the fierce sun.
Here are the Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Sensual in Jasmine Vanilla ~ this is my favorite of them all and I wish the Blackcurrant Vanilla I'm seeing in the US website would be available here too. Okay I admit not remembering how the Jasmine flower smells but this fusion of Jasmine and Vanilla is so divine. So calling it sensual is appropriate methinks. I haven't tried yet the Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Energy in Orange Ginger. I love Orange. But can't say the same for Ginger. In cooking yes, but as a skin care? It might be my least favorite, maybe. I might use it this weekend. Because with the way I'm using the lotions I might finish them off fast. But its hard to see in the blue bottles above how much already I'm consuming.
And that's it for today. Thanks for dropping by. I would have love to write a post for each of them showing them in different photos but as always I can't find the time. Maybe I'll have all the time in the world when I'm gray and old and retired. As of my TIME nothing has been changed since last year. Actually nothing really changed at all. Except the products I'm using. And I wish this is still on sale (Bath and Body Works UAE has a Twitter and IG accounts. But they don't bother to answer the queries anyway. And they don't send SMS all the time. I found about this sale when I visited their shop. If I didn't I would have not known). If in case this is still on sale I'll purchase more lotions but not for myself.
Finally after planning since 2013 looks like my dream vacation in Turkey will push through this year. I'm not afraid to go ahead as I have a distant relative who has a flat/house in there where I could stay. Well paying for your accommodation while on vacation is the most difficult part. If that vacation materializes it is only fitting that I give her some gift. And in that case I wish to give her some Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy to enjoy. I really had to visit the shop for me to know. If ever the sale is over I'll just wait for May. As May last year they had a promotion. If still no luck in May then I'll wait for June for Dubai Summer Festival. ♥
