by Bath & Body Works
Forever Red is a deeply gourmand, sweetly boozy fragrance that opens with a juicy burst of pomegranate, green apple, and peach, creating a lush, fruit-forward profile that feels indulgent and mature. Over time, the scent evolves into a warm, creamy base of vanilla, rum, marshmallow, and oak, giving it a comforting, almost edible quality. Many users describe it as a winter-scent perfect for evenings, holidays, or intimate moments—romantic, cozy, and surprisingly sophisticated for a Bath & Body Works release. It's notably well-suited for cooler weather and is often praised as a strong complement to holiday dress or nightwear. The scent carries intimate sillage and has moderate longevity, though some find it fades quickly on skin—especially on sensitive chemistry or in warm weather. However, users report it lasts longer when layered with the body lotion, cream, or applied to clothing. The formulation has remained consistent, with many longtime users affirming the original scent quality, though one update in 2018 led to some disappointment due to a sharper, more synthetic shift in aroma.
