I wanna get a mens spray from bath and body works to make my clothes smell like Whitney, and I wanna know of the scents on the website, which do you think would suit him the best? Personally I'm torn between noir and graphite

Oh, I can see why you're between those two.

Heads up, it's been a while since I've gone to Bath and Body Works. Like, four years? So I have to go purely off the website's descriptions.

Noir

What it smells like: a mystifying night at a masquerade.

Fragrance notes: black cardamom, smoky vanilla and a hint of musk.

Graphite

What it smells like: a bold, invigorating rock climbing expedition.

Fragrance notes: sage, bergamot spice and leather woods.

They're really the ones that scream Whitney the most. Maybe Graphite, though I remember liking the smell of Noir. Of course, Whitney probably smells like cigarettes (and Axe body spray 😔) but I'd much rather think he smells more like one of the above smells.

Just my bias for adding

Dark Kiss

What it smells like: a sweet, seductive night in.

Fragrance notes: black raspberry, burgundy rose, bergamot incense, dark vanilla bean and plum musk.

and

White T-Shirt

What it smells like: your favorite, freshly washed tee, hung to dry in a sunny meadow.

Fragrance notes: crisp pear, fresh white t-shirt, lavender cloud, clean musk and soft sandalwood.

Never smelled either of those two in person, but they sound nice. Probably don't 100% fit Whitney, but I can kinda see it. Dark Kiss being him actually trying and White T-Shirt being more like he's just stepped out of the shower and put on clean clothes. White T-Shirt immediately gets wrecked by Whitney putting on cologne, lighting up, or going to a pub and just absorbing the smell of cheap beer and greasy pub food 😔

...man, I really want to buy some now...

Uh, extra character scent musings under the cut, cause it's not what you asked for and I'm just going off the rails

Avery

Black Tie

What it smells like: a fancy soiree at the cabin.

Fragrance notes: aromatic sage, dark tonka bean and rich sandalwood.

Vintage

What it smells like: the comforting, nostalgic rush of rediscovering an old wooden chest.

Fragrance notes: blue lavender, fresh pepper and vintage woods.

Clear Horizon

What it smells like: a fresh, breathtaking outdoor escape.

Fragrance notes: fresh lavender, zesty citrus and Pacific cedarwood.

Black Tie for parties, Vintage for outings, Clear Horizon as more of his everyday scent

Bailey

Teakwood

What it smells like: walking in the woodlands.

Fragrance notes: mahogany, black teakwood and lavender.

Bourbon

What it smells like: a bold, smooth, barrel-aged pour.

Fragrance notes: white pepper, dark amber and Kentucky oak.

Add the smell of tobacco, maybe cigarette or cigar smoke. I don't know why I so strongly associate Bailey with the smell of wood, but I do.

Eden

I know Eden just smells like his own natural scent and whatever his soap is scented as but these remind me of him so 😖

Stone

What it smells like: a serene stroll along a mountain stream.

Fragrance notes: alpine water, lavender and sandalwood.

Freshwater

What it smells like: a cool, rejuvenating lake swim in the Alps.

Fragrance notes: Italian bergamot, mountain spring water and oak moss.

I just think Eden would smell clean for maybe an hour or so after bathing.

Mason

Stone

What it smells like: a serene stroll along a mountain stream.

Fragrance notes: alpine water, lavender and sandalwood.

Marble

What it smells like: a cool, aromatic kayak off Greece's shoreline.

Fragrance notes: Mediterranean waters, geranium and amber wood.

fffffff it was not intentional. I swear it wasn't intentional to have Mason's scents be about rocks I s w e a r

I just think Mason would smell rather clean. He probably reaks of chlorine and showers before leaving school/right when he gets home. Same for after swimming at the lake. Takes care not to get swimmer's ear or to get a rash from the chlorine in the pool.

types of girls: eye color

girls with gray eyes: overcast skies, dream logs, that time of year when summer is just turning to fall, driving at night on the highway with the windows down, green tea, husky voices, long limbs, poetry and dark circles, knee socks and oversized sweaters, long stories, photographs of secret, hidden places, comfortable silence and content sighs, slows down to match your pace, willow trees and the woods, the sound of pages turning and the smell of libraries, warm heart and cold hands, slow kisses on your collarbone, lazy morning sex and quick showers and soul mates, dark chocolate, earthy tones, “be the change you wish to see in the world”, getting lost in her passion, window seats, fiddles with jewelry absentmindedly, knitted blankets she made herself, speaks her mind, has a hard time letting go.

girls with brown eyes: soft pink sweaters, clammy hands, feverish heart, and nervous giggles, blue skies and turning up the music as far as it can go. Sweet tea, jet black calligraphy on pastel walls, rose gold, pockets on dresses, late nights and cuddling and bodies that fit together like puzzle pieces, short legs taking two steps at a time to catch up, being swallowed in bear hugs, 3 a.m. texts, floral arrangements in a small downtown shop, cotton candy perfume, bubble baths, rough sex and naughty lingerie, unread books with catchy titles and pretty covers, driving through the city lights at night, eye shadow that sparkles, white cats with fluffy tails, leggings, “what happens, happens”, new music and new hobbies, handwritten letters in the mail, bean bags and glass vanities, laying in bed watching cartoons all day and then going somewhere nice for dinner and drinking fuzzy navels till its late.

girls with blue eyes: hot, hot summers and flower crowns, iced coffees and espresso, skater dresses and tanned legs and wanting a love like in the romance novel tucked in her purse, high heels and freckles, art museums with the AC too high and canvases with cold minimalism but a fiery heart and a hot head, the smell of magazine perfume and full days in her planner and learning a new language for fun. Giant comfy beds but deep sex against the wall, falls in love with his laugh and the way his eyes crinkle, shopping dates and falling asleep on the trip home, starry nights and rows of flickering candles around the bathtub and a tattoo meant only for her eyes, “it’s a good day to have a good day”.

girls with green eyes: romantic gardens and bullet journals, hot chocolate with fat marshmallows on chilly days, open yards and paths that stretch for miles, adventures to unexplored places and flea market finds, craft projects and puzzles spread across a vintage wood table, teaching a friend something new, breweries and breakfast in the afternoon, movie nights, paisley and cinnamon, picnics and cat naps in the sun, “keep nothing in your home that does not bring you joy or have meaning”, warm heart, open arms, glances from beneath her lashes, bonfires and home-cooked meals, long, long hair and doe eyes, vanilla sex but dirty jokes, scrapbooks and boxes of memories, dresser drawers full of warm blankets, fairy lights on the porch.

girls with hazel eyes: mochas and cafes and kicking up leaves, stickers on her laptop, denim jackets and band t-shirts, lacy panties and neck kisses and sex in the car on the beach at night, watercolors and cloudy days and lost to the world with her headphones. Too shy to confess to her crush. Thick brows and cupids bows and half smiles and glasses she can hide behind. Traveling by airplane and pristine-clean hotels. Messenger bags covered in buttons of her favorite things, sharpie sketches in a notebook, sugar scrubs and lavender soap and neat handwriting, lonely meals and quiet moments to herself, bakeries and coffee shops and bar stools and people-watching through the shop window, “you mess with my friends, you mess with me”, says little, thinks a lot, laughs loud, long-distance relationships and early mornings with black coffee and messy hair, holding hands and leaning down to kiss her, falling asleep on the sofa with a good book, “Roses of Yesterday” by Tony Bennett playing softly on the radio on her way to work, cobalt blue and velvet.
