Bath & Body Works Prove It’s Never Too Early for Spooky Season With New Halloween Lineup
Think it's too early to be planning for Halloween? Think again.
Just because we're still basking in the glow of summer doesn't mean we're not just two months away from October, which means the spooky season will be here before we know it. The good folks at Bath & Body Works are also planning accordingly, and they just dropped a massive collection of enchanting scents and haunting accessories to make them even better. Ahead of the holiday, they sent us a massive box of bathtime goodies, and while the new collection includes striking holders for their candles and PocketBac hand sanitizers, we have to say their Halloween scents and Wallflowers fragrance plugs are the stars of the show. Keep scrolling to learn everything you need to know.
The Scents
Bath & Body Works' magic truly lies in their evocative scents, and they're bringing their A-game this Halloween. Whether you're focused on body creams, body mists, soaps, shower gels, candles, room sprays or anything else in the Bath & Body Works lineup, you're sure to find what you're looking for with their scary-good new scents.
Moonlit Graveyard
Moonlit Graveyard is a brand new scent this year, evoking the dread of a stroll through the cemetery in the dead of night. This fragrance combines earthy moss with the cool scent of nighttime fog and a hint of incense for the full effect.

Everlasting Magic
Everlasting Magic is also brand-new in 2023, with a romantic yet mystical scent that keeps us coming back for more. It blends berries with rosy flower petals and musk to make you feel like you've been enchanted with a love spell.

Midnight Spell
Midnight Spell is also quite magical, with a clean blend of crisp air and woodsy notes, as well as the powdery warmth of amber. We especially love it for inducing a sense of calm, as well as focused, for when you want to get the spell you're working on just right.

Vampire Blood
The Bath & Body Works fan-favorite Vampire Blood is back this year, and we've instantly fallen in love with it, too. You can get pretty much anything in this coveted scent of rich red berries, nighttime jasmine and deep plum. Plus, the deep blood-red color of the soaps makes washing even more fun.

Ghoul Friend
Bath & Body Works' Ghoul Friend scent is just as fresh and playful, yet spooky, as the name implies. It's a vibrant, fruity scent with notes of strawberries and citrus, with a hint of floral peony to ground it.

Pumpkin Carving
It's not Halloween without pumpkin scents, and this year, the brand is offering two variations to suit every fan's needs. As the name implies, Pumpkin Carving smells more like a fresh-carved pumpkin, with just a touch of spice and brown sugar for a bit of fall sweetness.

Purrfect Pumpkin
On the other hand, the Purrfect Pumpkin scent brings to mind pumpkin-spiced desserts. It smells sweet and fresh, blending pumpkin with warm cinnamon and vanilla for that craveable PSL experience.

Spellbinding Sweets
Spellbinding Sweets, however, is a scent concocted especially for sweet tooths and trick-or-treaters. It's all about sugary notes, combining the scent of lollipops, bubblegum and fruit to put a smile on your face.

Wicked Vanilla Woods
And last, but certainly not least, Wicked Vanilla Woods is a complex yet soothing fragrance reminiscent of a nightly walk through the forest. It combines warm vanilla with musky amberwood and the spice of pink pepper to be sweet, without ever being cloying.

Wallflowers Fragrance Plugs
And while scents are what put Bath & Body Works on the map, this year's Halloween Wallflowers Fragrance Plugs go above and beyond. Not only are they a great way to scent any room, but the haunting Halloween designs are mind-blowing.
Creepy Carriage: $39.95
Not only is the design of this Creepy Carriage exquisite, with an adorable and fancy couple having tea inside, but the wall projections are incredible. From the green jack o' lanterns and horse skeleton to the orange bats, the details don't disappoint.

Fiber Optic Ghost: $16.95
We can't get enough of the simplicity of this Fiber Optic Ghost. It looks like he swallowed a bunch of white fairy lights, and the overall design is too cute.

Spooky Coffin: $24.95
This Spooky Coffin plug is giving us Day of the Dead vibes. The ornate coffin is perfectly decorated with flowers, and the glowing skeleton itself makes it extra creepy (in a good way).

Ghostly Goblet Projector: $32.95
From the green and purple glow of the contents of this goblet to its ghostly projections, there's nothing not to love about this plugin.

Headless Horseman: $32.95
The story of Ichabod Crane terrified us as kids, which makes this Headless Horseman plugin extra effective. The details are flawless, from the ruffles of the white shirt to the buttons, the spider pin, the glowing rose and of course the orange pumpkin projection it leaves on the wall behind it.

Spooky Skull King Nightlight: $19.95
We're big fans of this regal and creepy Spooky Skull King Nightlight. The details on the skull and crown are equally ornate, and we could see ourselves using this one well beyond the Halloween season.

Haunted Castle Projector: $39.95
If you love haunted houses, you need this Haunted Castle Projector in your life. It's shaped like a spooky gated tower, and the projection of the crescent moon and bats behind it is an incredible touch.

Pumpkin Skull: $16.95
If your favorite thing about the fall season is pumpkin-spiced everything, this Pumpkin Skull is the Wallflower plugin for you. It looks like a skull encased within a crystal pumpkin, making it creepy and cute all at once.

Neon Cat: $22.95
If you're less into spooky vibes, and more into the simple and sweet, we suggest you check out this Neon Cat plugin. Black cats may be considered bad luck, but this one's too cute to bring you misfortune.
(via Bath & Body Works)
Snake & Roses: $14.95
And lastly, we're in love with the luxe look of this Snake & Roses plugin, surrounding a golden-skin snake with glowing red roses. We recommend pairing it with a decadent scent to make your space even more elegant.
