Golden Sunflower
by Bath & Body Works
Golden Sunflower by Bath & Body Works presents a soft, honeyed floral with prominent vanilla and sunflower notes, evoking a warm, sun-drenched summer feeling. The scent leans heavily into a powdery, slightly syrupy vanilla and orange blossom core, with some users detecting a hay-like dryness or a faint synthetic toothpaste note. While some find it light, innocent, and reminiscent of the final days of summer—like being in golden fields under a bright sun others describe it as overwhelming, overly sweet, or even nauseating, especially in concentrated form. It has a surprising longevity for a B&BW product, often lasting well beyond 30 minutes, and is most suitable for late summer and autumn. Its sweetness and floral density make it less suited for daytime or office wear for sensitive noses.
Pros
- +A unique, syrupy floral character that stands out among typical B&BW offerings
- +Long-lasting for a body mist, especially when paired with the matching lotion
- +Softly warm and sunlit, evoking a golden, honeyed garden or late summer meadow
Cons
- −Strong, sweet, and potentially overwhelming scent that some find nausea-inducing
- −Lacks balancing citrus or green freshness to keep it airy
- −Feels unisex and leans masculine despite the floral and vanilla notes
