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.
Rating: 5 out of 5.

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.
