Let’s start by turning back the clock; we’re going to go on an 18-year long adventure. We start in the mid-2000s. The first Twilight movie has just been released and Paris Hilton is at the height of her popularity. As we enter 2011 and 2012, Lady Gaga has entered the A-list stratosphere and The Hunger Games has just hit theaters. Then, we skip to 2014, watching Divergent on the big screen and listening to John Legend on the radio. We jump again and now we’re in 2019, then 2021, and 2022. Harry Styles’s “As It Was” is everywhere and the Zendaya-helmed Euphoria has just released its first season. What remains constant throughout all the changes of these years? Bath & Body Works, of course.
Over the course of these 18 years, Bath & Body Works has released a variety of era-defining scents, spanning sprays, lotions, and body washes. And now, during its Semi-Annual Sale, the brand is rereleasing 10 of its scents from the “vault” to let you take home a piece of that 2000s aesthetic — and rekindle your nostalgia. Deals are open to everyone online and in-store, so you can pick up a $7.99 to $12.99 candle or an up-to-75%-off body product today and start your time-traveling adventure.
What are the Vault Scents?
For this vault collection release, Bath & Body Works is pulling from more than a decade of its history — with scents from 2008 to 2022 coming back for a few weeks. Here are the scents being rereleased: Black Amethyst (2008), Rainkissed Leaves (2009), Secret Wonderland (2010), Country Chic (2011), Cashmere Glow (2012), Lemon Pomegranate Cream (2014), Cactus Blossom (2019), Open Sky (2021), Poppy (2022), and Wrapped in Vanilla (2022).
What Do the Vault Scents Smell Like?
While the names are pretty, it’s also important to know what each of these vault scents has to offer. Here’s how Bath & Body Works describes its vault rereleases:
Black Amethyst: Exotic, warm spice with musk and fruit. Notes include peony, sandalwood, patchouli, and amber.
Rainkissed Leaves: Refreshing summer rain and thick foliage meet in this scent of green leaves, watercress, and petals.
Secret Wonderland: Sweet and fantastical are captured through the smell of strawberry, jasmine, and white amber.
Country Chic: Fresh, bright, and flora, this homey spray features lemon, marigold, sunflower, orange blossom, and amber wood.
Cashmere Glow: This hug-like scent is made warm and luxurious by peach, lily, vanilla, and cashmere.
Lemon Pomegranate Cream: Fresh, sweet, and tangy, this scent is a mashup of lemon, red pomegranate, raspberry, white woods, and peony.
Cactus Blossom: Sweet, crisp, and bright, this scent contains notes of cactus flower petals, fresh citrus, vanilla, and coconut.
Open Sky: A clean, purifying scent made of fresh air, blackberry, violet, and vanilla.
Poppy: This bold, summery smell is made up of dew, poppy, rhubarb, and pear.
Wrapped in Vanilla: Sentimental and cozy, this warming scent contains vanilla, sugar, and Chantilly creme.Â
While B&BW hasn’t announced an official end date for its sale, you can expect the Semi-Annual sale — and the vault rereleases — to end in about three to four weeks… or as long as supplies last!
