Fairytale
by Bath & Body Works
Fairytale from Bath & Body Works is a soft, sweetly floral fragrance centered on vanilla, amber, and orange blossom, with a subtle pomegranate highlight. It strikes a balance between effervescent and warm, with a powdery elegance that gives it a curated, elevated feel—commonly described as wearable and enjoyable across seasons. The scent wears gently, offering a comforting cloud of vanilla and amber without being overwhelming. Many appreciate its layering potential, especially alongside YSL Libre Intense, where it acts as a softer, fruitier counterpart. Performance is moderate; it lasts a full 4–6 hours when applied generously on clothes and skin, though it fades faster in warmer conditions. The overall impression is one of refined simplicity—like a cozy, cottagecore-inspired daydream brought to life through scent.
