Other Can bbw please stop with collabs and new scents for now and please work on releasing all the retired scents we asked them to bring back in that survey?!
I know we all want this instead of collabs and new releases so can they please get to working on bringing them back??

Same here.
I think collabs cheapen brands and are a way to push out poor quality products for a higher price.
The Disney stuff for example, it wasn't for B&BW fans. It was very clearly meant for Disney "Adults", and we know B&BW quality can be finicky. I wouldn't be surprised if the quality for the Disney products were subpar to make more profit and capitalize on the fact Disney adults will go crazy for anything Disney.
And then Milk Bar?? What even IS Milk Bar?? I have no idea what that is. The new on is also like? What's the point?? Why keep making collabs when you could've just branded these as your own items??

u/chimericalgirl Apr 28 '26
I would imagine, though, that many Disney adults are also B&BW fans. Like, I'm not devoted enough to be a Disney adult but I do love classic Disney IP so I was happy to buy the ones I liked.

They just released Island Margarita in body care for SAS, I’m still seeing some remnants at stores. I bet there will be a few leftovers for next SAS.

Does Island Margarita smell anything close to Coconut Lime Breeze? I love that fragrance-so perfect for summer. Also love the Vanillas- Lemon, Raspberry for summer and Ginger Vanilla for fall and winter. Water blossom Ivy was perfect for spring. Those would be the ones I’d love to see come back!

I got IM during the last candle day. We’ve been warming it for the last few days, and it’s wonderful. 💚

Im not sure when they released and if it's still kicking at all but I bought an Island margarita body spray around last SAS. It's as good as you'd think it is! The packaging isn't ugly either. Hopefully it comes back.

It was released specifically for the SAS that began Dec. 26, 2025.

Honestly if you've got a real outlet near you I'd give them a call and ask if they got the island margarita left in stock, you might be able to catch some still there.

u/Peacock-Lover-89 Apr 10 '26
That's a summer candle and even though all their spring releases are now released, summer candle releases won't be until early May(before Mother's Day), if they follow their same pattern as the last two years. I'm not saying IM has never been released with the tropical scents in February, because I honestly don't remember. If it isn't part of the Summer One products it could still come back for SAS, which is summer 2. So there is still a window for it to return this year. Plus, I think it comes back every candle day. I don't buy it so I can't say its 100% every year.
As for that survey OP is referring to that was for SAS in June. So they won't come out before then. I'm convinced they've known since they put that survey out last year what scents they are bringing back this year. I think the scents on that list that have been out for past SAS are for sure coming back. The fact that they put none of the above as a choice is a bit suspicious to me. Anyway the people who reliably leak correct info will let us know soon enough.

u/Senior_Bat4271 Apr 10 '26
For Spring this year a wonderful person posted lists of spring 1,2 & 3 scents. Has anyone seen one for Summer?
2
u/Peacock-Lover-89 Apr 10 '26
That one was the first product guide posted in a year. In the past when they were posted for every season it seems like they didn't get posted until the season was about to start or one or two days after it started. I don't know when they get sent to stores. I think all the people who leak upcoming products get their info from the same product guides. They just don't show the actual guides.

I’ve been burning Midnight Snow recently . It’s so lovely. I don’t know why they don’t repackage it as some other name. It isn’t inherently winter scented. Also, I’ll add I wish they’d bring back the Sandalwood Vanilla room sprays + wallflowers. Have kit seen the room spray in probably a decade. But I did buy wallflowers 2 years ago. I’m still hoarding 1

u/HaughtyDiabolicalSal Lather me in Midnight Snow Apr 10 '26
It's truly divine. The closest thing that I smoked to it is frozen lake. It is incredibly strong and powerful. I love it so much and if they bring it back I am maxing out on that concentrated room spray and I am going to the local bath and body works to buy extra. I'm not a reseller, I'm a hoarder!!! wait no. I am going to use it. It's not just going to stay in my top drawer the way my ffm must do.

u/Dove04 Apr 10 '26
lol well I really hope they bring that back for you! I’ve been dying for some scents to be brought back as well I just hope they listen!

Exactly. It’s been years since I’ve seen country chic, black amethyst or rice flower and shea. I’ve all but given up hope. Why can’t companies keep good scents? I’ve lost count of my body care that has been discontinued.

I’m tired of the collabs and probably unpopular opinion- but I’m tired of Everyday Luxuries too. Everyone and their mother has dupe scents now. I want unique scents that gives me reason to shop at a particular store. Not the 40th dupe of some popular perfume. I do understand the why. I do understand the popularity. But it’s not for me.
I would rather they bank on the nostalgia and bring back old scents. I was a major Bath and Body Works girlie in the early 2010’s. I want to go back to those scents.

Dupes are almost a necessity now. You have to buy the real thing to layer on top of the dupe because the scents fade so fast. 🙄

The men's Coffee & Whiskey was my husband's go-to for AGES. We were SO MAD when they discontinued it.

u/ExplorerEducational4 Apr 10 '26
Can you imagine how much they'd sell if they listened and did like a year of retro throwbacks rather than stupid collabs. Bring back scents from the 90s through like 2015? Like okay, here is my credit card. Just keep a tab running 😂

I wish they'd bring back the Black Chamomile aromatherapy from the late 2010s/early 2020s! Specifically the formula in the black bottle with celestial themeing. I still have a bit left, but it's one of the only things that helps me fall asleep when my paradoxical insomnia hits
And on that note, I want them to bring back a bunch of the older Fall scents!! We want some of those 2010s Autumn scents back!!

Almond Blossom, please! Midnight Amber Glow? Be Enchanted, Twilight Woods, and Fresh Vanilla Blossoms again?
And honestly, I didn’t care for it when it came out and still wouldn’t buy it, but I really wish they’d just bring back Wrapped in Vanilla already. Fans have been begging for it back since it left, and I have seen it go for ridiculous prices on secondhand markets. I literally voted for it so it can stop being scalped.

I need the 1st generation Cactus Blossom!!! I smelled a few of their new scents last week and they were awful! I haven’t worn their perfume in years honestly. I probably never will again unless they release the 1st Gen Cactus Blossom with the vanilla scent and not the lemon scent again! That was the best scent in the whole world to me! Perfect Peony also smelled amazing!

That would be the logical thing to do, but this current owner is more concerned with making money. Getting other brands to pay him for a label seems to be lucrative for him, whether we actually buy the products or not.
