It’s no secret Bath and Body Works has a lengthy index of fragrances, and this can be a little intimidating when shopping. Where do you even begin? As a former employee, I know the struggle of stepping into a store, hoping to find a fragrance you’ll want to wear daily or to scent your home, only to be bombarded with dozens of aromas flooding your senses. It then becomes an odd challenge trying to pinpoint the exact one that’s right for you.
At first, amidst all the chaos, you may think it’s wise to go for the good ol’ reliable classics like Japanese Cherry Blossom or Warm Vanilla Sugar. They’re safe, and there’s always a high chance you’ll see them again. But truthfully, I’ve found it’s those underrated hard-hitters that turn out to be fan favorites—after some gentle prodding with a new recommendation (from moi, of course). So, if you need a push in the right direction with a new fragrance rec or two, look no further. From year-round staples to fresh arrivals for spring, here are 13 of the most underrated Bath and Body Works to snag and sniff in stores now.
