Our love for Warm Vanilla Sugar will never die.
Does anyone else feel the joy of Christmas morning when they walk into Bath & Body Works? Sure, it can feel a bit overwhelming with the amount of options displayed and the variety of scents lingering in the air. The home fragrance, bath, and body products store is full of candles, hand soaps, body sprays, body washes, and more that will keep you (and your space) smelling delightful.
As avid Bath & Body Works shoppers, it’s only right that we share our knowledge about which scents get the highest marks on our list. While there will always be your nostalgic scent that releases all the memories of roaming the school hallways drenched in your go-to spray, the retail chain is constantly releasing new scents and bringing back old favorites. So, as you’d imagine, there are a lot of options out there. Whether you’re looking to switch up your signature scent or are in search of the perfect scent to gift a loved one, we rounded up the ones that always make their way into our baskets every time we’re due for a restock.
Whether you prefer a spray or candle that’s fruity, floral, seasonal, masculine, or somewhere in between, there’s something for everyone at Bath & Body Works.
