Bath and Body Works just released their holiday line and I’ve predicted the best new scents this season.  From Bar Fizzies to Body Cream to Body Spray and Body Wash, below you’ll find the scents your nose will love the most. Find one you’d love? Go onto the Bath and Body Works website or drive to your nearest B&BW to snag one of these items in a new scent!

GinGHAm heart of gold

This scent is one that I am most excited for, especially since I love the B&BW gingham scents so much! This new scent can be found in a Fine fragrance mist, Shower gel, Ultimate hydration body cream, and Super smooth body lotion. I love the packaging, especially since it resembles the product name, and think it will smell similar to “Gingham”. This scent will have me running to a Bath and Body Works near me ASAP!

Eucalyptus lavender

The Eucalyptus Lavender scent can be found in Body lotion, Essential oil mist, and Body wash and foam bath. I wish you could find it in more products! The packaging is so calming, and I’m addicted to any and all lavender scents from B&BW. This is at the top of my must-try list!

Winter peach marshmallow

I’m really excited for this scent because anything peach from Bath and Body Works always smells good! I imagine this product will have a light and fresh scent, but the packaging isn’t my favorite. It is especially confusing because the label says “Hope” on it but the scent is labeled as something different. It does have a peach color, and this scent comes in shower gel, Super smooth body lotion, Mini perfume spray, Travel size fine fragrance mist, Celestial body scrub, and Diamond shimmer mist. I’m most excited to try the shimmer mist!

Fireside flurries

The scent, “Fireside flurries”, is a new scent that comes in a Fine fragrance mist, Ultimate hydration body cream, and Super smooth body lotion. The packaging wasn’t my favorite, but I predict that the scent will have a mix of floral and forest scents. The packaging doesn’t necessarily clue me into the scent, so I’ll be surprised when I try it!

Black CurranT cedarwood

This scent comes in Body lotion, Essential oil mist, and Body cream. I am most excited to try the essential oil mist! While this scent can only be found in 3 product types, the packaging is beautiful, especially on the body lotion! P.S. For those who don’t know, body cream is a bit thicker in consistency than body lotion, so keep this in mind before buying!

Pure wonder

This scent comes in the following products: Shower Gel, Fine Fragrance Mist, Gentle Foaming Hand Soap, Ultimate Hydration Body Cream, 3-Wick Candle, Wallflowers fragrance refill, Concentrated room spray, Car fragrance refill, Single wick candle, Super smooth body lotion, Mini perfume spray, Hand cream, Travel size fine fragrance mist, Celestial body scrub, and Moisturizing body wash. The packaging is a gorgeous rose-gold color packaging that I predict will smell very sweet, possibly similar to “Warm Vanilla Sugar”.

Holiday cheers

Now this is a scent I can look forward to trying! “Holiday Cheers” is featured in the 3 wick candle, and I’m surprised you can only find this scent in one item. I am also surprised that it has a Christmas tree on it, since it has a very neutral name, and could represent holidays in many religions. It may smell similar to “Holiday”, and I’m looking forward to trying it!

Holiday mistletoe

This product will most likely smell similar to “Tree Farm”, “Holiday”, or “Under the Christmas Tree”. It will most likely have less of a sweet scent and I hope it isn’t So overwhelming! I really like the holiday tree scents, so I’m looking forward to trying it! You can only find this product in Gentle Foaming Hand Soap and I hope I’ll find it in more products in the future.

CoTTON CANDY CHAMPAGNE

This new scent comes in the following products: 3-Wick Candle, Wallflowers fragrance refill, Fine fragrance mist, Shower gel, Ultimate hydration body cream, Single wick candle, Super smooth body lotion, Moisturizing body wash, and Diamond shimmer mist. While you can find this scent in many products, the packaging is not my favorite and is labeled “Love” which is confusing considering the name is “Cotton Candy Champagne”. I believe it will taste similar to “Champagne Toast”, but have a more candy-like sweet smell.

Iced RASPBERRY bellini

The scent, “Iced Raspberry Bellini”, says “Peace”, and has both a complicated design and varying colors on each product. I definitely think B&BW could’ve done a better job on keeping the packaging and coloring consistent. You can find this scent in shower gel, Fine fragrance mist, Ultimate hydration body cream, 3-Wick Candle, Super smooth body lotion, Mini perfume spray, and Travel size ultimate hydration body cream. I predict it will smell similar to one of the summer scents. I predict it will smell similar to the “Raspberry Mimosa”, or one of the fresh summer scents!

Cookies with santa

This product isn’t my favorite since the packaging colors aren’t attractive and this scent only comes up in a candle. It may smell similar to “Warm Vanilla Sugar”, and again B&BW could’ve gone with a more neutral name (Holiday Treats would’ve been a great name) but I’m hoping it’ll match my expectations in scent!

Twinkling midnight sky

The packaging on this product has much better colors than “Fireside flurries” and “Sleigh rides and snuggles”, and the blues blend together very well, creating more attractive packaging. You can find this scent in a Fine fragrance mist, Ultimate hydration body cream, and Super smooth body lotion. It’s difficult to know what this product will smell like since the packaging doesn’t give any clues, but I’m anticipating it will be a contrast to the “Fireside flurries” and “Sleigh rides and snuggles” scents.

Bright christmas Morning

While this scent may smell great, I have a few issues with the products this scent comes in. This scent comes in a 3 wick candle, Concentrated room spray, and Wallflowers fragrance refill. The first problem is that all the packaging looks different on each item, such as different colors and designs. The second problem is that Bath and Body Works doesn’t feature diverse holidays and holiday scents, and this scent could definitely be renamed to something that represents all religions. I figure it may smell similar to “Tree Farm”, which has a more neutral name.
