Description
A new fragrance by Bath and Body Works is named Secret Wonderland and it introduces a fragrant composition of delicate fruity notes of strawberry and frozen jasmine petals. Passionate aromas of strawberry and icy white petals are perfectly shaped with white amber and creamy sandalwood. Available in a flacon illustrated like a fairy-tale.

I like this one, however it is pretty generic pretty close to Nina by Nina Ricci Eau de toilette… I’d put it in the same boat with Juicy Couture’s Viva La Juicy, And Play it Spicy by Playboy as well.
TotHoortbal – :
To my nose, Secret Wonderland is such a fruity-sweet scent that is a burst of ripe juicy berries on the opening. The beginning has just the right touch of freshness to keep it from becoming too sticky or cloying. It gets a bit creamier in the next few minutes, becoming a sweet berry-flavored vanilla with just a sprinkling of powder. I usually don’t like my fragrances this sweet, but the combination manages to make it quite pleasant to me and I find myself reaching for this scent in particular on some days. I do think it is more distinct and delicious than a lot of other Bath and Body Works sweet fruity-floral blends.

i absolutely love this cheap (more in spirit than in fact, now that it’s been discontinued) and playful fragrance, i still buy the perfume from ebay when i can. it’s very very fruity and fresh, more than i usually go for, but there’s something somwhat tongue-in-cheek about its childish sweetness that makes me love it and reminds me of (the good parts of) being a teenager.

My all time favourite Bath and Body Works scent! I used to be obsessed with this scent before they went and discontinued it. Why Bath and Body Works insists on discontinuing their best scents (Twilight Woods, this one, Dark Kiss etc) while simultaneously releasing forgettable wishy-washy fruity-floral blends- I will never understand. Its been a while since I smelled it, but I do remember smelling mostly the amber and strawberry. It’s sweet, but warm and comforting at the same time. Just a lovely fragrance.. 🙂

This lotion reminds me of a safe incense. It is like a tame nag champa you could wear to work. This is because all BBW lotions contain that synthetic sandalwood note specific to BBW make my skin physically turn warm! And then, any spice gets amplified. A similar smell develops on me with the Cherry Blossom, which I enjoy. However, the Japanese Cherry Blossom is total BBW type of synthetic faked oriental sandalwood the makes my skin so hot I sweat and cannot breathe. However, I am willing to also admit I don’t mind the synthetic sandalwood in Secret Wobderland. Secret Wonderland makes me warm and I like it. I was looking for something similar to discontinued Berry Flirt, which this is not, despite the berry notes. This is vanilla-musky on me and I don’t really smell berries. It is a summer night and I am enjoying it but I will be putting this away until Halloween since I think it strangely has a witchy quality because of the innocent nag champa vibe. Weird! Many reviews comment on berries. If this were in a plain unlabeled bottle and someone said, “What would you name this fragrance?” I would say, “Winter Witch.” It is a vanilla musk with synthetic sandalwood. But the musk, vanilla, and sandalwood have this mellinia generation quality. I am not
talking about a Jovan musk vibe.
ArmenBalu – :
This is an interesting scent – I think the packaging is responsible for Secret Wonderland being viewed as a strictly wintertime scent. Incredible dripping berries mixed with sweet vanilla, it’s edibly delicious, creamy, comforting. Great for winter, sure, but also perfectly appropriate for summer nights. Why not?
alykljsjdrtyyoylaara – :
It is very sweet but smoky at the same time. The sweethess is not the teeny bopper type. Someone who is around 30s and 40s can comfortably wear this.
ЗлоДефка – :
So lovely. Secret Wonderland is a “sweet” for grown ups. It could have easily gone in the direction my husband likes to call “teenage girl” when refering to today’s fruity cotton candy fragrances. Instead, Secret Wonderland is like a marshmallow soaked in Southern Comfort.
Super85 – :
I have the body mist. I love this in fall and winter. So comfy and cozy of a scent! I love it… wish I had a bigger bottle of this, however 🙁
There is spice and fruit and it’s a perfectly described scent in the description!
крауз – :
I love Secret Wonderland. I have the body wash, lotion and body mist. I love the name and packaging very prettty and girly.
Now on to the scents…..it smells wonderful. i think the name secret wonderland is very fitting. I smell strawberry…sweet amber and vanilla. it smells really good and its a very comforting scent.
i think this is a nice gift to buy for almost anybody who wears fragrance…older women like bath and body works too….im 26 but i plan on giving my mom some bath and body works products….she likes pretty packaging too.
Well i give secret wonderland a 10.10…its a winner
aeg810Diobtetty – :
I really hate that Secret Wonderland is only available on the Bath & Body Works website now. I don’t understand why they don’t carry it in-store anymore. It is the only body spray of theirs that I still like.
doctoronegin – :
If this scent were truly a walk in a “secret wonderland” it would be a very intangible place to try to pass through. Perhaps this is why it was so aptly named. I was initially very excited to experience this scent, hoping for a truly strawberry trip down a fairy tale path through the woods, but what I got was a more sandalwood-sey winter wonderland sprinkled with a dry vanilla, jasmine, and amber spice. The fruit is a hint of warmth beyond the amber, as if on a warmer plate, very much reminding me of potpourri, and I struggle to find the strawberry. I know it’s there, it’s almost there, just out of reach, and just when I think I smell it, it’s invisible, or just deeply hidden in the woods.
Not that this is a truly disappointing scent experience, it’s just very subtle, particularly unoffensive, a quiet perfume for the introspective.
speaspdwemist – :
Almost undetectable a few minutes after spraying.
ftm853elipseskism – :
I got this for Christmas. I haven’t got the chance to try it out yet but based on the smell, I know I’ll be using this sparingly. The smell is so girly and it kind of radiates youthful energy. It reminds me of those times when I want to explore with no forethought of danger, whatsoever.
NEXUS – :
This is such a beautiful rendition of strawberry. It’s like strawberries and cream topped with a little sugar. I wish they didn’t discontinue the EDT. This is my absolute favorite scent from BBW and I stopped buying frags there for awhile once they discontinued so many of my favorites. I will continue to purchase the shower gel and body lotion but I really wish they would stop discontinuing the EDT in some of their beautiful scents such as this one.
sanyz1655 – :
Another old favorite I can’t find anymore i have the body lotion,spray , and the body wash the first note I pick up is the hint of strawberry
vasilijj-280868 – :
I only have the body wash of the scent but it smells freaking amazing. It reminds me of the scent Be Enchanted by bath and body works but it doesn’t have the same spicy notes as Be Enchanted. It is a shame that both fragrances i talked about are discontinued. Hopefully one day i’ll purchase Secret Wonderland perfume online
прокл – :
Yummy.. vanilla & berries, very very sweet. I do notice musk but I dont get much floral. Throw is low and lasts an hour or two, but thats fairly normal for body mists.
Just purchase the lotion hopefully that will help.
Daniil1981 – :
This always reminds me of high school….or more specifically of First Steps, and my wonderful mentor who is the founder of that ministry. I used to douse myself in this after gym class (because no one wants to smell like gym class) before I’d go to meet her. So, while she never wore this, I associate it very strongly with her. I still love it, but I can’t bear to wear it anymore, I just sometimes spray the things that she game me with this and it makes me feel all nostalgic. This really is a lovely sweet, vanilla, berry scent. I love it, I really, truly do, but I don’t wear it because this is my past, not my present, not my future, and while it’s nice to remember those things in my past I cherish and a person I love, things are different now. First Steps has moved towns and my mentor is leaving soon. I love her and all she did for me and we will always keep in touch. I will keep this as a tribute to her.
alurnetle – :
I’ve only had the body splash and lotion for this fragrance, but I would love to own the EDT version someday. This is one of my favorite B&BW fragrances.
The new packaging is lovely. I typically like the B&BW packaging quite a bit, no matter how often they change it.
The scent of Secret Wonderland is awesome. It smells like frosty, sugared berries. I really get the strawberries, the raspberries, and the vanilla. It is very sugary sweet in a fruity way. This is a perfect all-year-round scent, though I really love it during the winter when it originally came out.
This fragrance lasts for a decent amount of time. I can’t say for the EDT yet, though.
Overall, I give this a 10/10. It’s well worth trying out if you like sweet berry scents.

GOOL – :
I like most of this fragrance. I like its sweet and fruity notes, but there is something in it that bugs me. Not enough to not wear it, but enough for me not to use it more. When I do, I have to add a fragrance to negate that ugly note. Sometimes more fruit. Last night I added more white floral and that seemed to do the trick.
BLACKSAGE – :
I’m so sad that BBW discontinued this fragrance. It was the only one there that I really liked. It smells like candy and fruit and I always got compliments every time I wore it. I found it on ebay for about $15 so I might have to buy it again! It’s a very girly fragrance, I can’t picture a woman older than 20 wearing it. It’s definitely a “teenagey” perfume. Also, the bottle is so beautiful. It reminds me of alice in wonderland.
The only problem is BBW perfumes don’t last long at all on me. Maybe a half hour at the most. So I always had to carry this in my purse and spray it throughout the day. I have gone through 3 bottles of this.
Grorsekneeshy – :
This scent is a very sexy deep strawberry and sandalwood fragrance. To me, it’s not an overly sweet fragrance, but rather a yummy, inviting fragrance one could wear all year long, day or night. This reminds me a bit like Dark Kiss which I also loved. They don’t smell the same however, they are within the same family. Both are lovely.
vlaku – :
I dont think this is an everyday scent..It is overpowering on me. I do the trilogy (body wash, lotion, and body spray) and it lasts all day! If i do use this it is when I get all dressed up and I use it with my Victorias Secret Gorgeous. It tones down some of the sweeter notes in that but it mixes really well. I use them together to keep my more expensive perfume long lasting
opq598speagoessenda – :
Very sweet…. a little bit of the lotion here and there isn’t bad but otherwise it sickens me. Maybe good for a young girl.
korol.nata – :
This fragrance really disappointed me!
I guess it’s my own fault – I bought it online without ever smelling it. I got it hoping for the wonderful combo of my favorite berries (strawberries/raspberries) and favorite flowers (jasmine/gardenia), not to mention the very inviting title, and well…I got none of any of that! I mean there’s a bit of strawberry in it, but the strawberry is just eaten up by that cloying vanilla and musk. And forget about the flowers! I don’t smell floral in this perfume AT ALL. “Secret Wonderland?” More like “Sultry Candyshop” if you ask me.
I could definately see people liking this fragrance though, just keep in mind it doesn’t smell quite like how they describe it on the site! Hard to discern if it’s younger or older though, so I’d say it’s for all ages.
ira212181 – :
I was upset as well that Secret Wonderland is being discontinued. I recently got a job at BBW and fell in love with Secret Wonderland, only to have it yanked off the shelves during Semi-Annual Sale. So I bought like 3 bottles of the EDT.
It’s a light, warm, sweet scent. Not gourmand though. It’s both girly and womanly. Sadly, the fragrance does not last long. It makes a nice shower gel fragrance as well.
anton_83 – :
First, I want to say how heartbroken I am that B&BW is discontinuing one of their most beautiful and popular scents. Next, I have to say that it’s one of their most popular for a reason. This is an absolutely lovely fruity floral scent done right. It is sweet, but not sickening, thanks to the amber shining through. B&BW has a fondness for rehashing berry scents, but the berries here are lighter than most of their other generic scents, resulting in a feminine, dreamy feel. Sadly this means it also doesn’t last as long as other fruit-based blends, but it dries down to be much more subtle, musky, and warm. It is a very young scent, similar to a lot of teen celebrity fragrances these days, but those base notes give it its own maturity and sensuality as well. Even though it suffers from a lack of staying power like most B&BW products, this one, to me, will always stand out as a masterfully crafted favorite that puts a refreshing spin on so many common notes.

I just love this so much that I’m gonna write a review again!
I envision me wearing this on a cool Spring night when I’m gazing up at the stars with my boyfriend. Maybe in a garden full of lush flowers or in the woods with fern and moss everywhere. I imagine this scent blending really well with the woods. Every time I hear “Secret Wonderland”, I imagine a beautiful wood nymph, and this is what she’ll smell like.
I can also see myself wearing this on cold winter days in front of the fire. There is just something so cozy and earthy about this scent. It makes me look forward to winter days and moments spent in front of the fire with this scent intermingling with the hearth…it’s so delicious.
sorokopud-aleksandr – :
Not sweet enough for my tastes,much more a night time smell I think,dissapointed with the fact that I cant smell the strawberry,is a nice scent but nothing special!Pink chiffon is the best bbw mist imo if you like sugar and more sugar for good measure!
trading signal – :
I have this fragrance in the body lotion and fragrance mist. It is just perfect! I sometimes use the lotionbefore bed right after a shower. I can still smell it the next day on my PJs and bedsheets, and a little lingers on my skin which is just delicious. It reminds me of winter afternoon in the woods. It definitely has that woodsy winter-wonderland smell. Definitely a keeper. I just hope BBW doesn’t discontinue this soon, which they have a reputation to do so in past collections. I shall stock up on this gem.
yurginas – :
at first i thought this fragrance is so powdery and i kinda regretted buying it… but now i’ve fallen in love with this fragrance!
i don’t know, this fragrance starts with something that very grown-up scent, i guess the vanilla, and maybe some musk and amber, and then you can just smell the berries in it, andddddd what i love the most is when it dries down. it leaves a very sweet vanilla, almost like cotton candy, but in a sophisticated way. i cant stop smelling my wrist when it reaches the base notes.
my friends love it also. i haven’t found someone that doesn’t like this scent… :p
gyc486InsuffBooni – :
One of my BBW favorites – fruity & sweet! Not quite as sweet as Paris Amour, and just a little sweeter than Pink Chiffon. If you don’t the smell of the sample they give you in store make sure to try it on your skin! I had a couple samples that I was deciding between and this one was at the bottom of the list until I put them it on my skin and I was hooked! Compliments all the time!
ВВ lod – :
I reviewed this fragrance a while back and have since given it another shot, so I am posting a new review.
Previously, I had been extremely critical of how sweet Secret Wonderland is, and while I loved the drydown I wasn’t crazy about the fragrance as a whole. I have to say, my opinion has done almost a complete 180. I still love the drydown, but I am finding that I am really enjoying the rest of the experience, too.
Secret Wonderland is still sweet, no doubt about that. However, I found that wearing it in the winter (as opposed to warmer months when I had tried SW before) it is much warmer. The fruity notes seem fuller and less sugary, and the vanilla and amber really anchor the fragrance nicely. I can even detect just the tiniest bit of the florals. The drydown is STILL to die for. I have been wearing this during the day for the last few days and haven’t gotten tired of it yet. There is something so cozy about Secret Wonderland, maybe even a bit mysterious. I wouldn’t go as far as to say this is night out material, but it is good for day wear.
I am not too proud to eat my words about this one. While I still think that BBW has become a bit predictable in their more recent offerings, I do think that Secret Wonderland stands out as a pretty, wearable fragrance that deserves some attention. It was well worth a second shot 🙂
veron146 – :
I have the triple moisture body cream in this scent. My sister gave it to Me but in the summer it was just OK. Lately, since the temperature has dropped I’ve been putting it on at bedtime and it is really nice. I think the scent I am picking out is Jasmine and it does remind me of a cold forest with mist dripping from the leaves with a hint of fruity berries. I will have to try this in the cold night air, I imagine it would be really enjoyable I also love how this smells a bit cleaner in cooler weather since sweet fruity smells don’t usually work well on me. The floral aspects are pretty interesting in this in my opinion. A nice overall scent!
Vlad Zepech – :
This smells soooo awesome. My mom owns some and i love it. I will need to get some of my own soon!
sash64 – :
i cant explain this but it is so amazing just smells so unique and so nice.
igor4012 – :
My sister gave me a set of Secret Wonderland body spray, shower gel and lotion, mainly because we love the name. I’ve only really tried the body spray, and it was nice, but somehow too much sweet and at the same time too much musk for me, so I got tired of it. I gave it to my teenage daughter who loves it. It still has a good home, Sis! And I think of you whenever I see the pretty label.
Александр1616 – :
Smells like Meow by Katy Perry. I like this 🙂
4e4enecimv – :
I’m referring to the BODY MIST in this review. Does anyone else think this smells like a fruity version of B&BW Sensual Amber (which smells like Flowerbomb)? B&BW did not have Sensual Amber in the travel size spray so I went around sniffing everything they had and found this to be almost the same as Sensual Amber (must be the base notes!) except more fruity. Drydown is identical except this is less sweet and more woodsy– a comfortable scent for fall/winter. Actually, I think I prefer this because it’s not as loud as sensual amber. This is more suitable for daytime wear also.
PeceLeady – :
Okay, so the weather has gotten cooler so I thought I’d re-visit this fragrance.
I’d love to love this, like I’d love to look great in purple eyeliner. People who look good in purple eyeliner look stunning in it. For people like me, purple eyeliner detracts and disappoints.
People who smell good in this smell terrific in it.
Then, there’s me.
This starts with super sweet vanilla & berry and…
MOSS.
I like woody frags, but not mossy, and unfortunately at dry down this is just a disappointment on me.
Shaman 1998 – :
I really have nothing against this except that after using it as my almost-everyday scent for a few weeks, I suddenly found myself already sick of it.
I used to really love this. This, to me is like a day version of Dark Kiss. (More like “alive” version. See my Dark Kiss review) I think it’s the strawberry that did it. I really hate fruity-sweet smells but I didn’t use to think it was sickeningly sweet when I first bought it.
I just smelled my bottle of dark kiss just now and even if I only use that once in a blue moon, I can’t help but associate it to what I now feel about Secret Wonderland.
I won’t give my bottle away, though. Maybe this just really isn’t an everyday scent for me. I will probably not use this for a long time and when I start to again, I’ll just use it less frequently.
a-abzik – :
Secret Wonderland was a fragrance I visited when it was first released in 2010. I enjoyed its stay, but I didn’t love it enough to repurchase, because sweet berry scents aren’t really my thing. It’s far from unpleasant though!
If you’re into berries, vanilla, and a little bit of warmth (musk, amber, and sandalwood), then you’ll probably really enjoy Secret Wonderland. This is a sweet and fruity fragrance that’s also warm and cozy, which is perfect for the Fall and Winter. I also believe it can be pulled off during daytime AND nighttime.
Vorkuta – :
When I first smelled Secret Wonderland in the $1 test lotion offered by BBW before the launch of the product I thought I liked it and bought a full sized lotion when it came out. After using it a few times I thought it was just way to sweet. I gave it to a co-worker to give to her teenage daughter.
When the Semi Annual Sale came around this year I found a bottle of the mist for very cheap (due to repackaging) and decided to give it one more shot. I tried it a few days in a row and decided that I liked the mist much better than the lotion, as it didn’t seem quite as sweet. I definitely smelled the fruity elements of the scent, but it did settle nicely. It was very wearable, although I thought the scent faded a bit too quickly. However, a few nights into my trial run of the scent, I was getting settled in bed and smelled an incredible scent on the sheets. I took a few minutes trying to figure out what it was, and then realized that it was the Secret Wonderland that I had applied before bed the night before! It was such a warm, calm, dreamy scent with just a hint of the sweet berry notes. I loved it! It is really unfortunate that that isn’t the way Secret Wonderland smells ALL the time – if it did, it would DEFINITELY be one of my favorites!
Long story short, a good fragrance, youthful without being childish, but leaves a little bit to be desired since for me it doesn’t reach that “ah ha!” moment until long after it is first applied. I wonder if I should give the EDT a try to see if that does the trick?
I would give it a 7/10.
timonov11 – :
I got this in the travel sized lotion and it was so strong and musky that I never wore it. It did smell fruity and good at first, but then it turns flowery and woody after just a few minutes.
I ended up misplacing it somewhere.
asta8 – :
I happen to love Pink Chiffon and Dark Kiss by bbw. so when I got this one, I was mezmerised! First: the bottle is sooo gorgeous! True to its’ name with frosted branches of irridescent colours hovering over ‘iced’ petals as they say. Very Fairy-tailish! The opening is a fruit punch medley ( strawberries and raspberries gallore with a hint of what smells like wildberries) . It makes me smile everytime I splash myself. I like to wear this beauty during evenings out since it has a darkly sweet jasmine-gardenia heart and it gets more opulent and less punchy during drydown. The amberish-coconut and creamy vanilla musk must add much depth because it remains on my skin untill i scrub it off. I am one of the lucky ones i guess! It is like a berry version of fantasy to me. My fave after Pink Chiffon… or is it Warm Vanilla sugar..hmmm.. My sweet mental tooth needs to test is as in: right now! good day!
nomidon – :
One of the few fruity floral scents I can wear more than “every now and then” Personally I imagen that this is what Underland (Wonderland) may smell like. It has that kind of child-like innocence but that moment as that innocence is starting to turn into something…not darker…more mature. It almost screams to me the looking back on childhood.
I don’t think I’m really explaining it right. I find it is the kind of fragrence that is sophisticated enough for an adult to wear but fruity-yummy enough for a teenager.
Bild – :
I love this! I got a travel-sized mist because it was super cheap and I hadn’t tried it, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good! It’s VERY light, but every now and then I get delicious wafts of warm creamy-musky-berry goodness floating about, it’s very pretty. It’s much more berries-and-cream than juicy fresh fruit, and it has just a soft sweetness to it, not heaps of sugar syrup like I was expecting. The muskiness has a similar feel to Burberry Brit, it’s almost almond/nutty in a way, and very creamy, warm, soft and comforting.
Someone mentioned that it seems like Dark Kiss, I agree, but it’s a much gentler scent. It has that same warm vanilla/berry/muskiness, but it’s a lot softer, with some sweet strawberry. It also has a lot in common with Midnight Fantasy, although it’s a bit more soft and musky, and less tart/fruity/juicy. It doesn’t remind me of Wonderstruck, which is way way WAY sweeter.
Вячеслав Ник – :
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent :D!!!! IT’s a beautiful dreamy strawberry, with a light floral jasmine and a dreamy creamy vanilla <3 oh so good. I do smell a bit of it in the re-made moonlight-path… but the strawberry is a lot more predominant in this one, and it drues down into a much creamier scent
urqfstojjw – :
Bottle is so beautiful and so is the scent, it lasts a wonderful 5 seconds lol, worst staying power ever. That’s a shame cause I would have bought it.
xsbkmooezl – :
Sharyssa: I had the same experience, I sprayed it and could barely smell anything
Aragva83 – :
At first it’s strawberry, raspberry and vanilla, with a little peach to throw in the mix.
It might sound super fruity, but it dries down to reveal a powdery scent that accompanies the sweetness so it’s not completely a teenybopper scent.
I usually don’t like powdery scents, but I love how it prevents Secret Wonderland from being overbearingly sweet.
Secret Wonderland kind of smells like an imitation of Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift, except SW seems a bit more mature because of the powdery finish.
nikki4 – :
what is this supposed to smell like? i had the edt and returned it I could barely smell anything>
erewayptodere – :
Secret Wonderland isn’t the scent for me. It smells cheap and the only note I can detect is strawberry.
Neo2011 – :
I absolutely love this scent! It’s my favorite Bath & Body Works Scent. It’s strong enought to last the whole day but without being overwhelming!
pga105speagoessenda – :
I’m usually not overly fond of sweet fruity scents , but i love love love this one.
I started with the shower gel, which my boyfriend told me smelled amazing and sexy (apparently he likes to smell it when hes in the shower? lol)
I loved it soo much that i had to get the EDT which is also amazing i have to say.
First off the bottle is quite pretty, and looks completely at home among my designer fragrances that i paid 3x as much for.
The fragrance itself is lovely. whimsical strawberry enveloped in a warm vanilla musk…it’s sweet and fun while still managing to a little bit sophisticated. Also for a sweet vanilla scent this also manages to smell very clean to me ( Although perhaps that is because i associate with the shower gel and by extension the shower)
my only grip– staying power is pretty lame, i get like 1 hour tops out of this one 🙁 however i love it so much i will just have to keep buying bottles and bathing in them in order to get this scent
I wish bath and body works also had this in a EDP, maybe that would work better?
TACHKOFF – :
I agree with another review that says this reminded them of wonderstruck. I was going to buy it but the smell seemed like something I already had. Secret wonderland is a nice pretty fragrance it is sweet but not as sweet as BBW’s Sweet Pea. It is also more powdery. It isn’t a fragrance I’m crazy about but I like it enough to wear it often.
bwe713Negeltzex – :
When I first smelled this I was strongly reminded of Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck or Katy Perry’s Purr. I wondered if this was their attempt at capturing those scents, as recently they’ve gone very mainstream with their fragrances.
With this in mind, I purchased the body cream with hopes that I’d found a cheaper alternative. Maybe it’s just on my skin, but unfortunately that opening turns strange and the dry down dissipates that wonderful fruitiness, and not in a good way. It turns what might have been a dupe into something very bland. Oh well.
Catgreen – :
I like this scent because of its strawberry-jasmine combination that I find romantic and original. The strawberry is much stronger than the raspberry which is a plus for me.
My problem is that the strawberry wears out quickly and then you can only smell the amber. I have a travel-size spray and will not buy again because of that.
akc543InsuffBooni – :
This is a nice scent, but I didn’t capture my interest so I ended up not buying it. It’s a nice inoffensive scent though 🙂
dima12081974 – :
I get loads of compliments on this fragrance and I love it. Sweet and sensual without being too heavy, and I love the balance of floral to fruit. Keeps it from being too much on either side.
oos1606 – :
wowgirl, you are very correct. I had an email conversation w/ a BBW rep when I complained about MM being gone. She told me that indeed, they brought it back as “Secret Wonderland”… and not reformulated. I still had a bottle of MM, and so I did a test of my travel SW on one arm, and the MM on the other, and yup.. .same stuff. I love it too. In fact I layer this under a lot of my perfumes. Its really yummy.
dimanee – :
I think this scent is one of the best that B&BW has to offer. I am a Dark Kiss lover, and this seems similar to me. I have both now. I really love Secret Wonderland. Every review I’ve been reading about it says its really fruity but I’m not getting that at all – at least not on my skin. It smells like berries with an undertone of vanilla to me. This scent is not very strong though, so if you want it to last, I recommend using the body wash, lotion, and then mist on top of that. One of my personal favs though! 🙂
Besrezen – :
My mom had this and was getting rid of it, so I gave it a try. I had low expections because my mom obviously didn’t really like it, but I was surprised how awesome it was!
It’s perfect for Winter or Fall, a really nice scent! Can’t wait to get the EDT! (I only have the body spray)
tcd023Bessinepome – :
To me this is a winter and fall scent. It’s very sweet and feminine yet it still has a mature, musky, warm undertone. There is a strong vanilla and berry scent. The bottle is very pretty too.
mbx426Bessinepome – :
This scent has wonderful winter memories for me of snow, getting a warm cup of Starbucks with friends, and walking the wintery streets late at night. It is a beautiful spritz of berries (I smell the ripe strawberry most of all), light jasmine, and perfectly blended vanilla and amber.
It’s warm, fresh, and has that magical wintery quality that I look for in a cold-weather fragrance. Luscious and cuddly. A great, inexpensive scent!
I recommend the fragrance mist over the eau de toilette. It lasts on your clothes for a long time.
Tarik11 – :
There’s a crisp and fruity smell to this, the sandalwood base note gives this the perfect feel of ice skating and sitting in front of the fire. Very much a winter scent.

Now this one I like!! it’s a nice cozy fruity vanilla scent, I smell mixed berries but not sweet berries, sort of sun ripened raspberries, it is a very unique scent. usually on the fruity scents I like it’s screaming fruits, like with Dark Kiss it’s a screamy grape like scent in the opening notes, the fruits in Secret Wonderland are (on me) very well behaved and quiet. It dries down to a nice vanilla and musk that I very much like! I think this will be an excellent option for scent on the days when a nice cozy scent is needed or I’m not in the mood for my beloved Angel (doesn’t happen that often! ;0) ).
Scent: 9/10
Longevity: still to be determined but looking good so far @ 2 hours and counting…
Sillage: 6/10 wears fairly close to the skin but I’ve only got one spray on, I do catch whiffs every once and awhile.
Overall: 9/10…..YUM!!! :0)

I absolutely love this scent! Last Christmas I bought the cute plastic bathtub gift set with the lotion, body cream, shower gel, and body spray for my soon-to-be-sister-in-law, and I WANTED TO KEEP IT SO BADLY! LOL But I was a good girl and didn’t, so she got a really good gift and I got to watch her walk away with it…sigh
