Add marshmallow to this fragrance and you have Beach Nights Summer Marshmallow! Magic In The Air is lovely on it’s own, however.

Fluffy, warm and nutty. I love how pronounced the almond and iris notes are. People notice the persimmon top note also and ask me about it occasionally as it is somewhat unexpected. Someone once said this one was generic but I disagree! The coconut note throws it from being a purely Christmas/Winter frag (as the name suggests) and makes it something you could also wear in the summertime. Sweet yet not cloying. Powdery and clean. The sandalwood, jasmine, vanilla and musk seal the deal for me. I love this one. If there were an incense-like note in there it would be perfection. I only wish it had better staying power! I will continue to hunt for a good deal on the EDP version of Magic Is In the Air. But if you like any of these notes, I would give this a try! It’s very lovely.
Like a soft, warm sweater on a cool fall/winter day. Or a powdery, fresh yet skin smelling experience (in the drydown) on a spring/summer day.

I was shopping at Bath and Body Works a couple of weeks ago, and when it came time to check out, the cashier handed me a coupon for “any body cream in the store you want for just $5”. This is the one I grabbed hesitantly, telling the cashier that it’s the only one in the store I haven’t tried yet. And it was. I took a sniff or two of it when it first came out, but it didn’t sweep me off my feet, so I’ve been overlooking it… until now. I gave it a chance, and I’m glad I did. What once seemed to me a strange, barely there, plastic like scent has become a clean, inviting, and somewhat warm scent. Think of almonds and Ivory soap together. I love to put the lotion on before I go to bed, because the scent clings to my pajamas in the nicest way. I like this one, and I recommend it.

This scent is weird to me. Sometimes I really like it and other times it smells salty. I use it as an air freshener sometimes

Many BBW scent have similar “base” and this one is no exception. Its very light, airy(true to its name), delicately watery sweet. I like to buy BBW body cream(on sale, i never pay full price for it) and use it under my fragrances. This one is a good one for that because its so light so basically ANY sweet floral or vanilla scents will layer over this really well. I used it so much this past year I got sick of it so its a wrap for me.
As a stand alone scent, its not for me-i have small body spray which I got in a gift and I use it liberally after shower but that’s about it. Its WAY too light. And does anyone else has a problem with those horrible plastic bottles that BBW puts their mini body sprays in? because those are HORRIBLE-they are very difficult to spray(I mean you have to press on the damn sprayer as hard as you can), leak and break. Common, BBW, get it together!

Magic in the Air smells like someone with freshly shampooed hair eating a waffle cone filled with salted caramel ice cream. It does have the typical Bath and Bodyworks signature DNA running through it so I doubt it could be mistaken for something expensive, but its soft focus dream like opalescence makes me want to keep sniffing it.
It smells primarily of a softly sweet creamy vanilla musk with a touch of salt, powdery marshmallow, and a hint of fruitiness. It shape shifts and it’s very difficult to pin down which part of the scent stands out most at any given time.
To those more familiar with Bath and Bodyworks fragrances, it sort of smells like At the Beach, mixed with the Vanilla Almond body spray being sold right now. This is one of the more tastefully executed scents available at B&BW. If the same scent were re-attempted with much higher quality ingredients by a niche or designer house, it would probably smell insanely good like the olfactory equivalent of a cloud made from powdered opal.
Update:
I’ve decided i actually can’t wear this anymore because it combines a soapy non-edible musk with soft gourmand notes, and the end result makes me queasy, like trying to eat a hand cream because it smells like marshmallows.

on me, i get mostly vanilla mixed with coconut. a very sweet but not overwhelming vanilla. it just smells so good. this is a happy perfume and it will lift your spirits. as far as all the other notes listed, they are in there, i think they are part of what makes this so lovely. a huge combination of vanilla mixed with a lot of coconut and gorgeous sweet flowers and fruits in the background. above average sillage and moderate lasting power.

I like this scent. It’s sweet, light, relaxing, and just lovely! Received quite a lot of compliments when I wear this at work. During humid days (I live in a tropical country btw) I wear it with Victoria’s Secret PINK Sweet and Flirty. Heavenly! <3

This is so nice. There is a note in there that is foreign to me and it must be the persimmon? I get no coconut (thank goodness), just some fruit and sugary musk and sandalwood. It’s not typical BBW in my opinion and no one can accuse this of smelling teenager-y. It’s also long lasting to me and I just have the mist. Wouldn’t mind the actual perfume because the bottle looks very cute!

One of BB&W Best fragrances to date IMO.. It’s light fluffy whimsical easy on the nose; to me has almost a faint play-doughy undertone to it. Easily One of those scents I reach for when I find myself not really in the mood to spray a perfume on *I have the lotion*..ABSOLUTE MAGIC, LOVE IT! & I can see why Vanilla; my favorite note in scents. 😀
*Keep putting scents out like this BB&W!

I was suprised to see that bath and body works finally made a good scent. They haven’t made one in years…but this one is adorably nice smelling. I love it!

Me regalaron el mist hace unos días y lo percibí muy floral y dulce al principio, me recordó un poco a hawaii passionfruit kiss al final, sólo por lo dulce pero éste último en mí piel deja la nota a sal de mar que me gusta mucho. No esperaba los mismo de Magic in the air porque la vainilla no huele bien en mí, pero después de un rato ésta afortunadamente desaparece y empieza a desarrollar mejor las demás notas, al punto de que la dulzura pasa a un segundo plano y destacan las notas amaderadas juntos con la almendra y el coco, lo cual lo hace interesante. No tiene mucha fijación pero ha sido un invierno contrastante así que recomiendo usarlo en climas más fríos.

Wow, this is a real beauty. I didn’t think I would ever love a Bath & Body fragrance that much, but I do. Really love it.
B&B really did a great job on their Christmas season line this year, and this is to me the best scent they have ever came out with.
It is sweet frozen white sparkling iris dusted with powdery coconut shavings in a fairytale that is a Winter blizzard at the blue hour. Soft thick fluffy snow covered evergreens in a magic forest. This is where the Winter iris queen lives and she smells like magic in the air…

This is so pretty light and delicate. I asked for suggestions for icy/ chilly scents that remind you of frosty air and this is perfect. I get some kind of berry scent( juniper?) But that may just be my noses interpretation. This andfandf Cashmere Mist are the best Bath & Bodyworks scents in my opinion.

I’m in LOVE with this fragrance! By far their best in ages! Even though it’s one of those ‘close come hither’ scents that was released in fall-winter…I can see this being year round. My skin picks up the fluffy, cozy notes & I’ve gotten compliments from people who come a little closer asking what I’m wearing. I’m hoping to get the eau de parfum for Xmas.

Ages and ages ago a friend gave me a bottle of a perfume called Village Aspen Glow. One whiff of this took me to NY in the Winter of 1980! Scary! Yet…wonderful…a lovely nostalgic fragrance. Even though it’s 85 degrees here in Phoenix at 9:30pm in early November, this persimmon-powdery-vanilla is a perfect evening scent. I don’t smell anything I’d identify as “jasmine” on my skin. The dominant note smells like almond. I agree with the review that describes this as “creamy”…that’s exactly right for my nose. Also – definitely hints of marshmallow. I have this in Whipped Shimmer Body Mousse. I rarely buy anything but hand soap from Bath & Body Works, but I love Magic in the Air!

I am so surprised to see jasmine in this. I don’t get it on me at all. I get an almond-vanilla mix with a hint of musk and a tiny bit of sandalwood with some iris there to keep it from getting sickly sweet. One of BBW’s best releases in a loong time, in my opinion!
bubuna – :
I really love this new fragrance ( I have the mist , and saving for the perfume). Lovely scent reminds me of a combination of things : similar to the old BBW Pear Blossom, BBW Rice Flower and Shea , and amaretto coffee creamer. This is a year round scent , not just seasonal. I really get the pear and iris notes ,bourbon too. Love this one. Floral and creamy

Fresh and clean. I get very little sweetness out of it, but the candle is another story. There’s the slightest touch of sweet whipped cream, but if you’re used to gourmand scents, you’re just going to smell clean flowers. Would never empty a fb. Cheap smelling of course, just like all B and B, Victoria’s Secret, et la famille. Sometimes a cheap thrill is fun though for a short period of time.

Beautiful, pillowy gourmand scent. This is perfectly fluffy sweet, makes me think of marshmallow fluff and sweetened whip cream. I feel like this is a carefree happy sort of scent. It’s not a super mature fragrance, but as a 40+ year old woman, I haven’t got a single qualm in wearing, still it’s suitable for a much younger woman as well. Finally, this is the lastingest B&BW scent I have ever encountered. I wore it beginning around 5pm and the next morning woke up smelling it strongly still. I did find that it comes and goes a bit during that time, but overall longevity was stellar. I had experimented by using the Shea lotion on one arm under the EdP and nothing on the other and both offered identical longevity. I’m also excited that they went for a lovely, classy bottle. It’s got the heavy feel and look of many quality fragrances.
