Bath & Body Works Forever Red is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Honorine Blanc. Forever Red opens with Apple, Peach, and Pomegranate, settles into a heart of Marigold, Osmanthus, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Oak, Marshmallow, Vanilla, and Rum. Bath & Body Works's Forever Red carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a real crowd-pleaser for those who adore sweet, fruity aromas, but don't expect a nuanced journey. It's a fun, straightforward spritz that delivers a strong initial hit before mellowing out, making it an easy reach that many reviewers adore, even if some find it a bit too simple or fleeting.

About

Forever Red opens with a vibrant burst of juicy red fruits - pomegranate takes the lead, sweetened by apple and peach. As it settles, a floral heart of osmanthus and peony emerges, subtly intertwining with a warm, boozy undercurrent of rum. The base anchors this fruity-floral blend with smooth vanilla, fluffy marshmallow, and a hint of grounding oak, creating a comforting, sweet, and slightly woody finish.
