Bath & Body Works Bourbon is a Cologne launched in 2017. Bath & Body Works's Bourbon carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Bourbon is a solid, mass-appealing woody amber that nails the 'warm and sexy' brief. It's affordable, versatile, and though the name is misleading, it's a genuine crowd-pleaser that punches above its price point.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Bourbon opens with a keen, slightly spicy kick of white pepper that quickly melts into a rich, welcoming heart of black amber. As it settles, the fragrance deepens into a smooth, warm oak base, complemented by a persistent amber sweetness. It's a clean, subtly woody amber scent with a touch of powdery softness, completely lacking any boozy notes despite its name.
