Twilight Woods (2009)
by Bath and Body Works

Essentially this is a fruity vanilla musk scent .I get a almost citrus-citrus+apricot ? blended with vanilla and possibly some toasted coconut.It probably does have -some-faux sandalwood in the mix as it does have a certain "thickness " to the composition.Twilight Woods is definitely at home in the dessert/gourmand scent family.
I have the lotion and a body mist. As I recall the EDT smells pretty much the same as the lotion .The body mist is much less concentrated in scent,the lotion much truer to the scent.
As far as longevity goes the lotion seems to last at least 5-7 hrs on skin layered with the body spray .The spray will last on clothes much longer 12-24 hrs.

I received the body spray, shower gel, and lotion as a gift. What a nice gift! The gifter had my preferences nailed and made a wise choice. I'm delighted.

I've always steered clear of the BBW signature line. Usually I found the fragrances to be too simple and either too floral or too fruity. Twilight woods isn't in that mold.

On me, this wears as a vanilla musk with a hint of coconut and barely there woodiness. I don't get the honeysuckle, freesia or orange. I detect a creamy, fleshy fruit, likely the apricot. The combination of coconut milk & a creamy fruit seems to distinguish this scent from other vanilla musks.

Twilight Woods body spray wears close to the skin and will be very nice layered. Best for evenings or colder weather. As a comforting scent, I will probably use this on weekends and before bed. I like it very much, but my Dear Husband found it wholly unremarkable.

Sampling highly recommended for musk & vanilla lovers. It's also a safe bet for gifting - lotion, spray, & gel.

UPDATE: I've had a change in opinion on this one. My Dear Husband, who is usually agnostic about what I wear, has nicknamed this scent "cotton candy musk." Since my DH has no idea that sugar is "in" and wouldn't be able to differentiate between an Aquolina and a Chanel, this was most certainly not what I wanted to hear. Also, a dear friend is wearing this regularly - it is thin on her, all coconut & sweet, and more appropriate for her granddaughter than for her, imo.

A guilty pleasure, yes. But not something I will wear in public ... or around my DH anymore.

Twilight Woods? I think this one is seriously misnamed. The notes given by Bath and Body Works are "apricots, cypress, berries, and exotic woods." Apricots. Yes. Berries. Yes. Cypress? Where?! Exotic woods? Maybe some sandalwood, if I imagine reallllllly hard.

If I had blind sniffed this, I would have named it "Fruit Basket." But Woods? Eh. If you're a woods lover, this one will not meet expectations.

If you're a marketer trying to capitalize on the _Twilight_ sensation, then perhaps it's not misnamed at all.

Decent, it has a sweet scent, but it's not overpowering, but a bit too musty for my taste.

Bath and Body Works products are usually too cloying, and this is the worst of all.
