Here's my gripe with Bath & Body Works fragrances: they all seem to have the same generic-smelling base. I ditched the B&BW line sometime in college, with Night-Blooming Jasmine being my final attempt; I wore it for a while, but it just dried down to the same generic smell. đ sigh. gotta pay for luxury to have luxury!
BBW knows their audience, I'd say — and you're right, you're not going to get stunning beauty at those prices.
