The website has the new candle packaging. So far just autumn apple and creamy caramel seem to be on for fall.
Fresh Linen, Sandalwood Vanilla, Vanilla Coconut, Cinnamon Stick, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Spiced Cider, and Creamy Nutmeg's new packaging is also online.

I think this thread topic is a good idea. I'm already wondering what BBW has up their sleeves for fall. Doesn't the fall preview book come out soon?

I hope they have more planned for us other than repackaged fall home fragrances & Black Amethyst. I remember hearing somewhere about lambs in more colors. But I'd like to know what else they have in mind.

I saw those too and I love the new packaging. I believe every fall scent so far is a repeat of what we've seen each year before though. I hope something truly new is on the way...but I guess maybe that's just BA.

Last weekend I was a little surprised to see the Autumn Apple out already in stores too. I love that scent so I'm glad to see that they continue to bring it back.

It's funny how we were thinking and posting basically the same thing at the same time, Megan. I want to know what's ahead too besides the repackaged scents. I'm looking forward to the preview book, and more often that's more about getting a peek at what's coming than just any coupons they might include.

Marissa, you know what they say about great minds.

There will be a fall preview guide during the hand soap event starting August 4th. It will feature Black Amethyst (which you all know already) and...

-True Blue Spa Shea Cashmere (lotion, cream, and a bath product)

-Aromatherapy Milk and Honey (described as containing cinnamon and clove notes)pillow mist, lotion, bubble bath and I think something else.

-The Holiday Traditions line will contain VBN, WCA and Twisted Peppermint and there will be a new parfait bath (it looks like you have to shake it before you pour it in the tub.)



For the hand soap theme there will be some new products:

-Velvet Tuberose hand soap
-Irresistible Apple hand soap
-Kitchen Lemon soap in foaming!
-Pocketbac (1oz instant sanitizers in a variety of scents plus unscented)
-Limited Edition 8oz hand sanitizers in fragrances (there will be an unscented carried all the time)
-3 new Aromatherapy instant roll-ons: Comfort, Mental Clarity, and Stamina Boost
-4 new mentha tinted lip balms (not gloss)
-preview of fall candles Pumpkin (as usual) and new Autumn Leaves

Thanks for sharing all this info w/ us! It seems like BBW may have some good stuff for us yet. I'm excited to see Kitchen Lemon in a foaming antibac & I hope Twisted Peppermint is available in a non-shimmer splash so I can use one as a room spray. But I am about VBN & WCA again. BBW needs to get something different than those two for the holidays.

Thanks for all the info! I'm excited to see some of my old favorites returning as well as some new things on the horizon!! I agree with Megan, looks like there might be some interesting things around this holiday season.

Thanks for the news! I'm so happy Twisted Peppermint will be returning!
I stock up on it during wintertime and use it in the summer when that cooling tingly effect it has feels wonderful.

The Milk & Honey scent from Aromatherapy sounds interesting. I think I would like that in a bubble bath or body wash.

I was in a store this weekend and noticed spiced cider and sweet cinnamon pumpkin in the same packaging as autumn apple -- maybe these three will be featured in the fall?

Thanks a bunch for the great info!!! At least they have some things that we can be excited about. I am especially excited about Twisted Peppermint coming back, and Kitchen Lemon hand soap in foam. Thats my favorite antibac, so I will definitely get some in the foam. Thanks again.

I think there would be riots if B&BW didn't come out with VBN and WCA. There are too many people that stock up on those scents every year. The only way they won't bring them back is if sales drop on them.


I also saw some new product info:
- there's a limited edition Tea Tree Eucalyptus Aromatherapy hand soap for the event.
- Fall home fragrance scents look like:
Pumpkin - classic pumpkin from years past
Caramel Pumpkin - sweet and yummy blend
Autumn Leaves - interesting blend, smells like apples, caramel, mulling spices, and firewood, very dynamic scent.

VBN has been a favorite for many people since it was launched.


Of course not everyone likes it.

WCA is available all year at VS. It's called Endless Love and comes in the blue packaging.
They are identical scents.

I never got a chance to smell the TP lotion, because it was sold out all of the time. The splash I tried had GLITTER in it.


It'd be great if BBW made TP one of the 3 Holiday fragrances.

They can ditch pomegranate, cranberry and gingerbread spice. Who wants to smell like a candle from the arts and crafts store.

I did not know that WCA and Endless Love were the same thing! I will definitely have to check that out because I've been waiting patiently for the holidays so I could stock up on WCA this time. Thanks for the info, Jeff!

I'm definitely not the biggest fan of pumpkin, however mixed with caramel it just might be tolerable. In fact, I'm off to try that blend myself!

It's funny that they have come out with the 1 oz hand sanitizers. For years I have just refilled an empty 2 oz GermX bottle with my favorite BBW hand sanitizer scent. It's an idea I've always done!

I'm very interested in those 8 oz hand sanitizers. I might get one of those to have at work.

The Milk and Honey scent sounds like it could be very interesting as well. I've always liked that combo.

Very interested in the Caramel Pumpkin and Autumn Leaves candles. I'm just so pumped for fall!!

Lovey, I can concur that Endless Love is JUST LIKE WCA!!!! I would definitely use that as a nice alternate when you can't get WCA.

I am also excited for the fall, its about time there is something coming that we can be excited about. I think Caramel Pumpkin sounds like it could be good. I found out I am not a fan of the regular Pumpkin, there is something in it that makes me cough and my eyes burn. I am not sure what it is, but I did it with the HFO and room spray. I like the scent but it doesnt like me. I am hoping by mixing the caramel into the pumpkin will help.

Lovey, I cant wait to hear how your new concoction turns out. I bet that would be a great lotion, especially for fall. I also keep forgetting to ask you if you will be adding the Cherry Cola shower gel to the website.

I also didnt know that VS Endless Love and BBW WCA were pretty much the same. Thanks for the tip Jeff and Anan, I will have to keep that in mind.

That's why I love this board!! So many great people sharing information.

I hoped to get to VS today but didn't make it. I'm getting ready to go to my family reunion, so I had a lot to get done.

I understand just what you mean, Gizmo about regular pumpkin. Someone asked me to make them some Pumpkin Pie candles. I test burned one, and it was just too strong for me! It just doesn't agree. But if you soften it with caramel, that may be a good mix!

I'm definitely adding Cherry Cola to my site. I'll be updating it very soon with some new scents along with a new product as well! I'll be posting in the etailer's forum soon.

Thanks Lovey, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for your post.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who figured this out! I used Endless Love back in college, and when I started working at BBW, I noticed that WCA was the same scent. I would tell customers after we were sold out of WCA to go get Endless Love at VS. I think it's strange that Limited Brands is repackaging a regular VS scent as a BBW holiday scent. If there's a difference, it's very slight.

Those fall scents sound interesting! Especially the Autumn Leaves, I can't wait to smell it!

Got to smell Caramel Pumpkin and Autumn Leaves today... My fave by far was the Autumn Leaves. The Caramel Pumpkin wasnt as creamy as i thought it might be...the autumn leaves was a combination of many fall smells...cider..cinnamon..just warm and inviting.

I alos got tow of the pocket bacs...too cute...going back for 5 on monday...gona put in purses and kids backpacks.

Hi all, been so busy lately haven't had time to check the news. Got back from vacation only to find out hubby was laid off with the last round of cuts Hopefully it will be a good thing since the company hasn't been doing well but we've had to cut back lately cuz ya never know, especially with 3 kids in tow....

Anyways, been really good not shopping and have managed to make a little side money so it'll be nice if BBW gets something DIFFERENT in for a change so I can happily spend my hard-earned cash! I had no idea Endless Love was the same as WCA so at least now I know I don't need to stock up on that scent!

Caramel Pumpkin sounds interesting....
