Top 10 Best Bath & Body Works Fragrances

Bath and Body Works scents are everywhere, creating memories and turning heads wherever you go. That classic lotion or body spray is more than just a product, it's a feeling.

You want to find the fragrance that matches your style and becomes your signature scent. Maybe it's a playful fruity mist that whisks you away to a tropical island, or a warm, cozy blend that feels like a comforting hug. No matter what you're searching for, there's a Bath and Body Works fragrance out there waiting for you.

The Top Ten

  1. Warm Vanilla Sugar

    I am very happy that Warm Vanilla Sugar is number one! It is perfect for fall and winter! It is obviously very warm and vanilla-y (I don't think that is a word). I just think this is a staple, and every girl should have this in their lotion, body spray, and shower gel collection.

    I have had lots of compliments when I wear this scent. When I can smell other girls wearing it, I always think, Girl, you have a good sense of smell! Haha! There is my rant.

    Very warm and soothing. I use it when I'm down and during the holiday season. It is great to stick in your backpack or purse around Christmas time! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

  2. Twilight Woods

    I have smelled all of the men's body lotions at BBW, and when I took the top off to smell this one, I had to get it just to have in the bathroom for any male guests to use. I would even put a little on my hands just to savor the fragrance. It's just the best smell ever!

    My brother really got hooked, and I gave up one bottle (I bought three). Now I'm running out and can't find it, as I was told it's a seasonal scent. So, I will be looking again around Christmastime.

    So, I was at the Bath & Body Works store, and I was smelling all the different fragrance mists because I feel that they are not as strong as perfume. They're more faint, and I just had an urge to try them. I smelled Twilight Woods for the first time, and from that moment, I was just so in love - and not the good kind.

    I live in China, and they don't have a BBW store here (which they should), so I need to find it online because I am slowly running out. I need to get more. Just more. It's so addicting, and it's never too strong. It's just right. A great smell. The first time I bought it, I could not stop spraying it on myself. I definitely suggest this.

    Although I don't have the shower gel or lotion, I bet they smell just as amazing as the fragrance mist. What's so great about this scent is that I can wear it with differently scented lotion, shampoo, and deodorant, and it never gives me a headache. Seriously, buy it.

  3. Japanese Cherry Blossom

    Smells floral, fresh, and clean. Noticeable but not heavy. It does not "announce itself" and never gives me a headache. I receive compliments very often from many different kinds of people - male, female, old, young, different races - from folks in Walmart all the way to Nordstrom and Saks, even from people on the street!

    I get lured away by expensive scents from time to time, but I always go back to Japanese Cherry Blossom. I have even started using that same scent in the Bath and Body Works "wallflower" plug-ins to fragrance my home. I've been using it for years and still love it just as much as day one, maybe even more.

    This scent should be number one! I've worn this for years. I've bought both sizes of the spray. I find that the scent in the travel-size bottle lasts longer.

    Also, I spray very little on my skin. I spray more on my clothing, and the scent will last all day into the night. You'll even notice a light scent days later. I've received numerous compliments about how good I smell. If you haven't tried it, do so!

  4. Winter Candy Apple

    I'm literally saving the last bit of this lotion because I thought they didn't make it anymore. Another fragrance I suggest buying and emptying the bottle of. I had the mist and have the lotion.

    I will be stocking up on this plenty, like buying 3-4 of these just to make sure I have more than enough this time. Better safe than sorry.

    At school, there would be some people who just smelled really amazing, and I wanted to ask them what they used for perfume, but I thought it would be too awkward. I went to Bath and Body Works the other day and was just trying all the scents when I found this one! It smells amazing!

  5. Vanilla Bean Noel

    My all-time favorite! This scent is so delicious. It puts me in the mood for the holidays every year. Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday, and whenever I smell this, I think of cold mornings, being bundled up in cute winter clothes, and snow falling everywhere.

    I'm so glad that B&BW brings it back each and every year. My other favorite is Pumpkin Cupcake from the fall 2016 line. I hope it stays around forever!

    Holy cow. My coworker had this lotion on her desk, and the first time I used it, I was so in love that I immediately ordered a bottle for myself. It smells like real vanilla and sugar cookies. It's incredible!

    I'm addicted to this scent, and that's saying a lot, as I am usually very picky when it comes to fragrances.

  6. Pink Chiffon

    I loved this scent the first time I smelled it in the store. It's so girly and sweet-scented! I love it! I have it in a big bottle of lotion and two bottles of the Diamond Shimmer Mist perfume.

    My birthday is coming up, and I want to get it in the mini lotion, mini perfume, shower gel, mini shower gel, bubble bath, and in the PocketBac. It's not too strong and doesn't stink or give me headaches. I have asthma, and some of their scents have made me cough, but this one doesn't. I highly recommend it to anyone who has not tried it. I especially recommend it for people trying their first Bath and Body Works scent.

    It's the nicest-smelling perfume I have ever worn. I walked into a Bath and Body Works store, and a salesperson was wearing it. I asked what she was wearing, and she said Pink Chiffon. I told her I would like some perfume and have been wearing it ever since. This perfume is like no other.

    I receive compliments left and right. People ask me what I'm wearing, and I tell them Pink Chiffon. Now, you can't buy Pink Chiffon in stores. Not all people shop online. More shop in stores in Ontario.

  7. Sweet Pea

    I feel like this scent is underrated. It's just one that everyone forgot about because it's been around forever, and everyone thinks it smells plain. I was looking for a body cream in a nice, natural, soft scent, and I picked Sweet Pea because it's just a classic.

    I used to always think it smelled plain, but then I fell in love with it. It actually has a really nice raspberry, pear scent to it. I just got it in a body spray, and it's my new favorite! You can never go wrong with it!

    When I was younger, I had a gym class, and this girl would always smell so great after gym. I wanted to ask her so badly what she was wearing, but I never did. A few years ago, my aunt brought me a whole bag full of Bath & Body Works products, and Sweet Pea Body Lotion was in it.

    I was in love with it in gym class, I was in love with it a few years ago, and I'm still in love with it today.

  8. Carried Away

    I absolutely adore this scent! It is hands down my favorite B&BW scent. I wish they offered it in everything! It smells just like fresh, fruity laundry and makes everything smell amazing.

    Its light scent is just the right balance of light and fruity without being overpowering. I highly recommend it to those who love the smell of laundry detergent or dryer sheets.

    Carried Away is gorgeous. I have never received so many compliments on a fragrance! It's the perfect balance - long-lasting, but not overpowering. I've found that it's best with one spray on your neck and one little one on each hand. I got the glitter spray - simply exquisite! Vote for Carried Away!

  9. Country Apple

    I have the Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap from this Bath and Body Works Country Apple line. It is so fruity and perfect for a spring scent. This also has aloe vera in it, so it makes your hands super soft. I wish they would bring back this scent permanently!

    This is my all-time favorite Bath and Body Works scent, which is a hard thing to say because of all the amazing scents. It's my friends' and my favorite perfume, and I use it all the time. I can't imagine my life without it!

    Never get tired of this fresh scent. No musk, no crazy undertones, just apple. Perfect for a light, fresh scent. Makes those new layered scents seem cheap. Love this apple.

  10. Moonlight Path

    This fragrance is so yummy. Ugh, I just love the beautiful feel to it. It's perfectly in the middle of a flirty, girly feel and a beautiful midnight atmosphere. This scent is to die for and one of my favorites. It's not too overwhelming and powerful, yet some of the fragments are very pronounced, and others are very simple and passionate.

    This has been my favorite fit and my most commented-on scent - even more than my Michael Kors, Chanel, Victoria's Secret, and even some of my Gucci perfumes. If you're looking for a glamorous yet simple aroma, then Moonlight Path is a definite must-have for your perfume/body spray closet.

    For me, Moonlight Path is by far the best fragrance of the entire brand, and it's even better than many expensive perfumes. It's elegant and suggestive.

    I don't like sweet, fruity scents, and this one differs from the rest because it's fresh and sensual, with a little bit of lavender, roses, and musk. I love it.

    11. The Newcomers

    Sparkling Limoncello

    This scent is very fruity and sweet-smelling. It smells like a fresh-squeezed cup of lemonade and is noticeable but not overpowering.

    After walking through the whole store and trying out almost every scent, this one was my favorite.

    I have the spray of this scent, and it is absolutely AMAZING! By far my favorite scent - you have to try it!

    It totally reminds me of lemonade, but it's not too fruity. Needs to be higher on the list. YUM!

  12. ?

    Honolulu Sun

    A girl in my gym class had this, and I fell in love! It reminded me of when I was little for some reason. I love it so much.

    I had never bought a fine fragrance mist from Bath & Body Works until I bought this one. It's so amazing.

    So sad this is only seasonal. I stocked up this summer. Please make it a signature scent!

    AMAZING fun summer smell. It smells good throughout the day and is not overpowering.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Cranberry Twinkle

    I always get compliments on how good I smell when I use the lotion. Love it.

    Favorite. Use during the winter.

  14. Twisted Peppermint

    It smells as if Christmas is just around the corner. The sweet, minty scent is great for winter and can be used throughout the year. It somehow reminds me of the Sugarplum Fairy. I just love how this scent smells so yummy, although not in an artificial way.

    I love this scent. At Christmas time, it does have the "holiday in the air" scent, but I like it year-round. I find it calming. If you want a candle that you will smell throughout your home, this is it.

    Sweet and crisp. It's not like a breath mint or candy but a sweet, crisp mint scent with a light undertone of vanilla. It's a shame it's only available during the holidays. I love it.

  15. Velvet Sugar

    I am a husband who has trouble differentiating between smells when I have to take my wife to Bath & Body Works. To be candid, I experience olfactory overload. But when my wife tried this one, I immediately keyed in on it. It has a great mix of girly and earthy tones, radiating sensuality.

    I have since identified the scent and how it wears on my wife with the softness of her character and the strong sensuality of both her physicality and personality. I don't identify her by the scent. Rather, I identify the scent as her. So, needless to say, this one, above any other, is distinctive for me, and the desired effect was definitely achieved.

  16. Sensual Amber

    This is my all-time favorite! My go-to scent! I'm from Trinidad and Tobago, and unfortunately, it was not readily available for a while. Thank heavens I found it again. The scent is long-lasting but subtle - very sexy. It's great for night or day.

    I love this scent. It is warm and alluring at the same time, not too sweet. It's my go-to favorite. I put the lotion on after a bath at night, and I can still smell it the next morning. What a treat!

    I love this scent. I thought for sure it would be in the top 10! The foaming hand soap is the best. The other products don't quite smell the same.

  17. Paris Amour

    One of my friends wears it all the time, and she always smells fantastic, so I went and bought some. It has to be my favorite, though I have many. The bubble bath is amazing. I feel silky smooth after using it. I love the spray too!

    I love this scent so much. I have the spray, and I wear it to school every day. I like it because it's fruity and fresh at the same time. Paris Amour is also not too overpowering. It's my favorite spring scent!

    This is the best scent from Bath and Body Works! I wear it to school, and I always smell great. I've even been complimented on how great I smell. A plus: the packaging is beautiful, and who could resist Paris?

  18. Bali Mango

    This just smells so juicy and so SWEET! It makes you feel like you came out of Hawaii. This scent is so addicting. This is best for literally all the seasons, even winter!

    Mango is the best, whether you're eating it or smelling like it!

    Smells amazing, like a juicy mango!

  19. Rome Honeysuckle Amore

    Very fruity and flowery. Sorta like really good soap, which isn't a bad thing! It makes you smell clean, girly, and proper!

  20. Midnight Pomegranate

    I have used this scent ever since it came out and have some saved, so I didn't know it was discontinued. It is my go-to fragrance. Aside from Cotton Blossom, it's the only fragrance that I can count on to stay and to be pleasant, something I can still smell on my clothes.

    I am a nurse, and sometimes you smell things you want to erase from your memory. Having the scent sprayed somewhere inside or underneath my scrubs, such as on my undershirt or bra, allows me to quickly find a pleasant smell again. Please bring it back!

    Midnight Pomegranate is amazing. It smells like a "fiery fruit and spice blend that conjures an image of rubies sparkling in moonlight." Trust me on this one. I wear it to school, and all of my friends tell me to bring the lotion on the bus so they can have some too.

  21. Coconut Lime Verbena

    Coconut Lime Verbena is the best scent ever! It's not too sweet but has a distinguished smell. People always ask me what perfume I'm wearing when they walk by me.

    Coconut Lime Verbena is #1.

    This has been my favorite scent for hand soap. Everyone always comments on it when they use it at my house. The hand sanitizer is also a winner with my family.

    This one is great! It's best for summer, but works all year round! My favorite!

  22. Sexy Dahlia Rush

    One of the only stronger "perfume" type scents that I liked even after wearing all day, and very sexy!

    I get more compliments on this fragrance than any other I've ever worn. Please bring it back.

    Please bring it back. Love this smell!

  23. A Thousand Wishes

    I discovered this on my first-ever visit to Bath and Body Works last Thanksgiving in New York. I was told it was their new holiday fragrance. I fell in love and have the set. Every time I smell it, it reminds me of my trip to the Big Apple. It's gorgeous, so fragrant, sweet, warm, subtle, and gorgeous.

    I honestly fall in love with this scent every time I smell it. I'm not too sure why! The flowery yet delicate scent makes my heart just stop. I love this! It's great for any time of the year. I highly recommend this scent. It's my favorite one!

  24. Country Chic

    It smells so clean, like an open field. It also has a slight (very slight) flower smell in it. I always call it "Country Chick," though. I LOVE this scent.

    My favorite! Not too sweet, not too musky, just the right blend. It's so fresh, like fresh out of a shower or fresh laundry, which I love!

    My favorites are this one and Pink Chiffon! Country Chic just smells so clean and fresh. It's a touch flowery, and I love that.

  25. Secret Wonderland

    Even though I didn't like it very much at first, one day my boyfriend used the shower gel and came out to the living room. I found the scent great, not too strong, and it's really good. I already ordered the shower gel and body lotion online.

    This scent is the best! The scent is sweet but a bit fruity, with a mysterious and feminine scent without being too strong. I highly recommend the lotion and the spray and shower gel if you prefer to layer your scents.

    Sad to find it was discontinued in stores but is still available online. It is a sweet scent that isn't too overpowering. An absolute favorite for me and my mom. Good everyday fragrance.

  26. French Lavender & Honey

    Love this one! People comment on it every time I wear the lotion and spray, and ask me where to get it. Everyone should try it if they haven't already.

    I've been a Japanese Cherry Blossom addict for years. This is the first new scent I've tried in a long time, and I'm in love!

    If you like Japanese Cherry Blossom, you will absolutely love this.

  27. Cucumber Melon

    This is my summer scent. Also, this is one of my top 5 favorite scents from Bath and Body Works. It smells like cucumbers and melons. It is very relaxing. I have this scent in lotion and the fragrance mist.

    I just bought it today, and the smell's completely become my favorite thing ever. It's fresh, smells light, and is definitely suitable for those who are sensitive to smell.

    Fresh and not overpowering like many of the floral scents. This is my favorite, although the store doesn't carry the body spray, so I must get it online.
