Butterfly
by Bath & Body Works
Butterfly by Bath & Body Works is a light, sweet, and airy floral-fruity scent with prominent notes of raspberry nectar, airy vanilla, and powdery iris. It evokes a clean, youthful, and slightly shampoo-like quality—reminiscent of early 2000s body products and soft, fruity perfumes. The fragrance is fresh and uplifting, making it ideal for spring and summer, particularly for casual wear, layering, or daytime use. While it lacks strong longevity and sillage, it performs decently for a body spray and maintains a pleasant, inoffensive presence. Many compare it to Sweet Pea and Carried Away, noting its tart raspberry core balanced by powdery floral sweetness. It tends to fade quickly and can feel overly sweet or generic to some, but many find it nostalgic, cheerful, and suitable for sensitive environments or those who prefer gentle scents.
