Gingham Glow – Bath & Body Works’ Sunny, Woody‑Floral Eau de Parfum

Bath & Body Works has a knack for turning everyday body care into a sensory experience, and their 2024 release, Gingham Glow, is no exception. Part of the ever-expanding Gingham family, this Eau de Parfum promises a sun-drenched, fruity floral experience with a unique twist. Priced at $59.95 for 2.5 fl oz, it sits comfortably in the mid-range of the brand's offerings, but does it deliver performance worthy of a designer scent? We put it to the test. From the first spray, Gingham Glow distinguishes itself from the typical sweet, fruity fare. The opening is bright and juicy, but it's the heart of marigold that truly sets it apart. This isn't your average floral—marigold brings a slightly green, spicy, and powdery quality that adds depth and intrigue. The base of sun-soaked sandalwood wraps everything in a creamy, comforting embrace. It's a fragrance that feels both familiar and novel, making it a compelling choice for everyday wear. In this review, we'll break down the notes, performance, and overall value of Gingham Glow, and see how it compares to similar fragrances on the market. Whether you're a longtime Bath & Body Works fan or a fragrance enthusiast looking for an affordable hidden gem, read on to find out if this one deserves a spot on your vanity.
