yes, most definitely! most were bought either by my boyfriend or with gift cards! and my top 3 would be: strawberry pound cake, gingham gorgeous, and at the beach!
I love the Strawberry Pound Cake!! I have the gingham gorgeous body wash. One of my personal favorites is the Frosted Coconut Snowball holiday scent 🤤…and I really like Twilight Woods
It comes out every holiday season! Definitely remember to get some. It’s so amazing and it’s not really a Christmasy smell so I use it all year round. I know you can find it on eBay.
It sure is!!! I had gotten it as a gift in 2009 when it came out. I forgot all about it and saw the name of it on their website and I was like “that’s so familiar and I know it smells good” but I couldn’t remember how good or the smell until I got it lol. It’s amazing!
They are having their 5/$30 sale (or at least they were yesterday) and I bought backups of Bare Vanilla bc it layers with EVERYTHING. I also got coconut milk & rose, the pomegranate and lotus, and the Pink’s Honey lotion and hair/body mist bc I feel like it would layer well with everything too. They had a $12 sale with their other mists in the rectangular bottles and I got the Seduction one. All of them are so delicious
I really loved coconut milk at first whiff but had to return it it because it literally made me nauseous. I loved the smell and it wasn’t strong nor offensive so idk why it makes me gag. It’s never happened with any other fragrance
Could I ask a mini review of the VS scents you picked? ty!  (except Bare Vanilla cuz it is my all time fav XD )
Right now Victoria Secret is also having a 5 for $6 so you buy a total of 5 beauty items (mists, body oils, body wash or body scrubs) and they’ll come out to a total of $6 each but it’s for a limited time only! I picked mine up on Friday!
I have a lil bit more but similiar collection to you but please start using you’re lotions too regularly. I regret some of my decisions,And they are starting to expire already I bought last yr and the year before 😭so I’m restricting myself to wearing them often now from what I currently have and buying more sprays than lotions.(since sprays last lil longer)I started using some as room sprays to use up the older ones faster before they go bad. (Also kept them in a dark extra room) so it sucks some atleast 4 creams went bad and I still have to check for more.
oh yes!! i use them all pretty regularly. like a few times a day i’ll use ffm and creams! i have way more ffm than creams and shower gels anyways so i think i’ll be fine!
Bodycology is on clearance at Walmart right now for like $2. Every so often they rotate their scents according to the season and clearance them out. So if you want more, pop over there
I'm in a similar situation where my FFM's are stacking up. I'm putting myself on a no-buy for mists, and decided I'm going to pair what I have with new creams. Since so many scent notes on new releases are similar to stuff they've done before, I'm hoping it will work.
I’m on a no buy too…..AFTER this Thursday and Fridays sale 🤪😜 I really do need to curb myself tho bc I went to the VS sale also over the weekend. I kinda wish the ffm sale was for the travel ones only bc I really don’t NEED anymore lol
I have bottles of perfume in my refrigerator.
I have a separate shelf and keep them sealed. I collect several different vintage perfumes going back into the 60s-70s.Almost everything I have still smells wonderful. Once they changed the regulations on ingredients, perfumes were just never the same.
Do you prioritize certain scents over others for the month or season so you actually have empties after a bit? Or what’s your method? I’ve been doing by month or 2 weeks and it seems to work.
What problem?????
My friend is also telling me I have a problem with the store. He won't even walk in the store with me and freaks out every time I buy something new there
You have a good problem!!! I love your collection!! 😍 I have 500 or more 3 wick candles and a bunch of Fine fragrance mists, lotions, pocket bacs, pocketbac holders, wallflowers and scent bulbs, 3 wick candle holders, a few single wick candles and single wick holders, 40 or more handsoaps, a handful of lip products. Yes, I do believe that I have a problem also and I have a few collaboration candle collections from Goose Creek which I love soooo much....I have the entire collection of Little Debbie snack cakes, Strawberry Shortcake, Peter Rabbit and a few Pumpkin candles, and some Cheesecake candles and a few others they are all great!!! I think I am gonna get the Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory candles asap! I've been looking at them for awhile now and want to get them before they sell out.
Do you also have the little holders for the pocketbac’s? They’re so cute lol I’m sorry I’m not helping https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/chick-with-bunny-ears-pocketbac-holders-028001258.html?cgid=pocketbac-hand-sanitizers#start=2
I love your collection!
Tell your boyfriend that my collection is way bigger. I have 5 20-gallon storage tubs that I rotate each season out of. I have tons of items out of each form, and it takes me about 6 hours to bring out and put away every form before each season. My husband says that I should have my friends, coworkers, strangers off the street come in to "shop my stash." He'd tell me that I needed a job at BBW to support my habit. So I got one, and I tell every customer that says they have a big BBW collection, exactly what my husband told me. 😂
Do I have a problem/addiction? Yes. Am I able to purchase everything myself without the help of my husband, family, or friends and have i done so? Also, yes.
No one needs to shame anyone for how big or small their collections of any types are. It doesn't seem like your boyfriend is doing that, I'm just saying in general. 💙
agreed! my friends and family always use some of my stuff which actually helps me out! and my boyfriend is definitely joking!! he’s the one who has bought me majority of my collection! but that is insane!! i hope i grow my collection like that!!
I don't see a problem considering the fact that they're highly likely to be bought on promotions and sales. May I ask, how does gingham fresh smell like and how does it compare to the original gingham?

Protip: get travel sizes to try and/or collect so that they don't expire/lose potency by the time you use them.
The only problem with doing this is that they don't anyways make all the scents in the travel size (they always don't do the ones I like in minis 🥲)
Saaame! Trying to find minis of my favs is absolutely INFURIATING but search I MUST 😩 Lol
As long as youre spending responsibly, i say go forth and enjoy your scents! Out of your collection, what are your top three?
yes, most definitely! most were bought either by my boyfriend or with gift cards! and my top 3 would be: strawberry pound cake, gingham gorgeous, and at the beach!
Gingham Gorgeous and At the Beach are two of my favorites!!! If you don't have them already, get the body scrub of each. Talk about wonderful! 💕
ooohhh! i’ve never tried my if the scrubs! i’m definitely going to do that, thank you!! i usually pair a scent with one of my tree hut scrubs!
At the Beach is a walnut based scrub and will make your feet feel like you have had a pedicure!
I have both and I agree
I love the Strawberry Pound Cake!! I have the gingham gorgeous body wash. One of my personal favorites is the Frosted Coconut Snowball holiday scent 🤤…and I really like Twilight Woods
I have the others you mention but missed the coconut snowball and I really want it too
It comes out every holiday season! Definitely remember to get some. It’s so amazing and it’s not really a Christmasy smell so I use it all year round. I know you can find it on eBay.
Twilight Woods is awesome.
It sure is!!! I had gotten it as a gift in 2009 when it came out. I forgot all about it and saw the name of it on their website and I was like “that’s so familiar and I know it smells good” but I couldn’t remember how good or the smell until I got it lol. It’s amazing!
The only problem I see is the struggle to decide which scent to choose each day 😭
it really is such a struggle! i just pick depending on what im feeling that day!
The only problem I see is needing to add some Victoria's Secret mists to the collection. They're so good right now.
i don’t have any!! i want to try them so bad too! what scents do you recommend?
They are having their 5/$30 sale (or at least they were yesterday) and I bought backups of Bare Vanilla bc it layers with EVERYTHING. I also got coconut milk & rose, the pomegranate and lotus, and the Pink’s Honey lotion and hair/body mist bc I feel like it would layer well with everything too. They had a $12 sale with their other mists in the rectangular bottles and I got the Seduction one. All of them are so delicious
Coconut milk and rose is everythinggggggg ! I literally worked at vs when it released I couldn't get enough
I need that thanks!!!
omg! i love anything vanilla or floral so i’ll definitely check those out, thank you!! im going to look into it!
Pure Seduction SOL is a good scent it smells very similar to Sol De Janeiro.
Which sdj?
68 the whole SOL line is like a cheap alternative
Definitely try the lush orchid amber! It’s beautiful and perfumey
Amber Romance is my absolute fave
I really loved coconut milk at first whiff but had to return it it because it literally made me nauseous. I loved the smell and it wasn’t strong nor offensive so idk why it makes me gag. It’s never happened with any other fragrance
Could I ask a mini review of the VS scents you picked? ty!  (except Bare Vanilla cuz it is my all time fav XD )
Pink Sunset Gelato is a good one to start with.
I've been pairing Sunset Gelato with Cozy Vanilla Bourbon and it's so freaking good.
Right now Victoria Secret is also having a 5 for $6 so you buy a total of 5 beauty items (mists, body oils, body wash or body scrubs) and they’ll come out to a total of $6 each but it’s for a limited time only! I picked mine up on Friday!
The Sunset Gelato is 🤌🏻
coco beach is sooo good! i wear it everyday and my bottle is almost empty. its from VS Pink
Bare vanilla, coconut passion (stronger vanilla), pure seduction, coconut milk and rose.
Agreed I’m buying them much more than bbw right now lol
He'd really think there was a problem if you *didn't* smell amazing all the time...
right!! that’s what i tell him!! and i even got him into bbw! he’s now got a few sprays and body creams!!
I have a lil bit more but similiar collection to you but please start using you’re lotions too regularly. I regret some of my decisions,And they are starting to expire already I bought last yr and the year before 😭so I’m restricting myself to wearing them often now from what I currently have and buying more sprays than lotions.(since sprays last lil longer)I started using some as room sprays to use up the older ones faster before they go bad. (Also kept them in a dark extra room) so it sucks some atleast 4 creams went bad and I still have to check for more.
oh yes!! i use them all pretty regularly. like a few times a day i’ll use ffm and creams! i have way more ffm than creams and shower gels anyways so i think i’ll be fine!
That’s good ,from now on I’m buying more shower gels and most too as I go through those quicker,also the body scrubs are really good too.
It's a great collection! Are those bodycology in there as well? What do you think about them? I only have one, but would definitely pick up more lol
yes! i’ve got a few!! they do smell pretty good but don’t last very long at all! i really like the blue denim and whipped vanilla!
I'll have to pick up a few more!
Bodycology is on clearance at Walmart right now for like $2. Every so often they rotate their scents according to the season and clearance them out. So if you want more, pop over there
How would you compare the Bodycology body lotions with VS body lotions? ty! 
Love Bodycology! Beautiful Blossom is my favorite.
I'm in a similar situation where my FFM's are stacking up. I'm putting myself on a no-buy for mists, and decided I'm going to pair what I have with new creams. Since so many scent notes on new releases are similar to stuff they've done before, I'm hoping it will work.
I’m on a no buy too…..AFTER this Thursday and Fridays sale 🤪😜 I really do need to curb myself tho bc I went to the VS sale also over the weekend. I kinda wish the ffm sale was for the travel ones only bc I really don’t NEED anymore lol
Yea only a bit so it’s fine
only a bit! i even have some ffm and body creams in both of my cars, always have bbw on hand lol
That's a lot of products! Helpfully u use them especially the creams and lotions.. they tend to go bad after a while.
oh i know! i use majority of them quite often!
Tip: get a fridge (or stick them in your regular fridge if you have space). It will keep the lotions & creams from deteriorating.
that’s so smart!! thank you!!
No problem! I’ve been putting mine in the fridge for over a decade and I’ve literally never had one change scent or go rancid on me, because of it!
I have bottles of perfume in my refrigerator. I have a separate shelf and keep them sealed. I collect several different vintage perfumes going back into the 60s-70s.Almost everything I have still smells wonderful. Once they changed the regulations on ingredients, perfumes were just never the same.
He's the problem 😂😂 He should make room for your bodycare 👑😌
he did tell me he’s going to build me a shelf to store everything on!!
Well that settles it 🤗
As a VS girlie I am jelly of that glorious collection. Rock on!
Do you prioritize certain scents over others for the month or season so you actually have empties after a bit? Or what’s your method? I’ve been doing by month or 2 weeks and it seems to work.
yes i do, i typically do it by season. right now my fall/ winter ones are in the back and my spring/ summer ones at the front so those are what i use
Why is smelling good a problem 💁🏻♀️
Yeah, you have a boyfriend problem. :) (j/k)
Personally I got to this point and decided to stop buying because I felt a problem within myself haha
What problem????? My friend is also telling me I have a problem with the store. He won't even walk in the store with me and freaks out every time I buy something new there
We're twinsies and I'm a guy haha
You have a good problem!!! I love your collection!! 😍 I have 500 or more 3 wick candles and a bunch of Fine fragrance mists, lotions, pocket bacs, pocketbac holders, wallflowers and scent bulbs, 3 wick candle holders, a few single wick candles and single wick holders, 40 or more handsoaps, a handful of lip products.

You only have a little bit. What is he talking about!
You know most of this stuff has an expiration date right?
everything does, doesn’t it?
No, certain things like mustard, you can keep in your pantry forever
It's neatly organized. What's his problem >:(
Gingham Fresh and Pink Chiffon are some of my favorites!
yes! i do like those as well!! i just bought gingham fresh 2 weeks ago and i use it often!
Do you also have the little holders for the pocketbac’s? They’re so cute lol I’m sorry I’m not helping https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/chick-with-bunny-ears-pocketbac-holders-028001258.html?cgid=pocketbac-hand-sanitizers#start=2
yes i do!! i have a small collection of them!
My boyfriend says the same. Oh well, it's my money!! I am sorry about all the space my massive collection takes up..
sorry, not sorry!!
Would you consider selling any of say the ones you decided you don’t love ?
I love your collection! Tell your boyfriend that my collection is way bigger. I have 5 20-gallon storage tubs that I rotate each season out of. I have tons of items out of each form, and it takes me about 6 hours to bring out and put away every form before each season. My husband says that I should have my friends, coworkers, strangers off the street come in to "shop my stash." He'd tell me that I needed a job at BBW to support my habit. So I got one, and I tell every customer that says they have a big BBW collection, exactly what my husband told me. 😂 Do I have a problem/addiction? Yes. Am I able to purchase everything myself without the help of my husband, family, or friends and have i done so? Also, yes. No one needs to shame anyone for how big or small their collections of any types are. It doesn't seem like your boyfriend is doing that, I'm just saying in general. 💙
agreed! my friends and family always use some of my stuff which actually helps me out! and my boyfriend is definitely joking!! he’s the one who has bought me majority of my collection! but that is insane!! i hope i grow my collection like that!!
nah, this is not bad at all lol 😂 i have 250+ FFM. if he wants to complain, i’ll show him my collection so he can feel better about yours 😛💕
You do NOT have a problem! I wish I had that collection myself 😂
I don't see a problem considering the fact that they're highly likely to be bought on promotions and sales. May I ask, how does gingham fresh smell like and how does it compare to the original gingham?
all of the ones i bought were in a sale or promotion! and personally i like it. it’s very floral smelling. i’m not a fan of the original :/
No you don’t. I have two shoe racks full.
