Halloween lovers, spooky girls, and fragrance fanatics: your moment has arrived early this year. Bath & Body Works just dropped its highly anticipated Summerween Collection, and it’s bursting with over 70 limited-edition products to turn your midsummer mood into full-blown fall fantasy.
Whether you’re in it for the sweet and spooky body care, candle magic, or eerie-chic home accessories, this launch blends summer fun with haunted house vibes
Whimsy Meets Wicked: Frankenstein’s Bakery Is Open
At the center of this year’s Summerween collection is the delightfully creepy Frankenstein’s Bakery theme, where scent meets storytelling. The star of the show? I Scream Float: a brand new fragrance that smells like a fizzy cola float with just enough spooky sugar to make it mischievous. It was such a hit that a limited-edition early drop sold out on TikTok Shop in just one day.
And yes, returning favorites like Ghoul Friend are back to haunt your vanity. Think dark strawberries, ghostly florals, and a whiff of citrus that lingers like a friendly spirit.
New Scents to Die For
Here’s a breakdown of the standout fragrances included in this year’s Summerween drop:
- I Scream Float: Fizzing cola, vanilla ice cream, and sugary sweetness
- Vampire Blood: Red berries, night-blooming jasmine, and petrifying plum
- Immortal: Black plum, sueded saffron, and aged oak (men’s fragrance packaged in a coffin-shaped box)
- Ghoul Friend: Dark strawberries, ghostly peony, and citrus
- Wicked Vanilla Woods: Magical vanilla, glowing amber wood, and pink pepper
- Candy Apple Cauldron: Green apple, simmering sugar, and crystallized bergamot
Each scent is available in various forms: think shower gels, fine fragrance mists, candles, and hand soaps – so you can layer your spooky signature from head to toe.
My Top Picks for Spooky Season Self-Care
While the scents are bewitchingly crafted with spooky season in mind, I’m also a collector of their candle holders, Wallflower plug-ins, and other goodies. After perusing the more than 70 products in the Summerween collection, I narrowed it down to my five favorite accessories:
This Wallflowers Fragrance Plug is a magical mixture of decoration and function. The black cauldron shape is adorned with a witch’s broom (must have that) and a bubbling brew foaming out the top (or so it seems). It also projects star and planet shapes on the wall in rotating colors.
I actually find this one more adorable than creepy. It’s the purr-fect PocketBac Holder so you can avoid any creepy, crawly germs.
Glow-in-the-Dark Franken Hand Pedestal
This might be the one I want the most. I was already hooked on the detailed resin hand molded to hold a three-wick candle and accented with a black cuff and skull cufflink. And then I realized it glows in the dark!
As soon as the weather cools down, I’m busting these bad buys out. Apparently, I have a think for Frankenstein. They’re infused with shea butter – taking the pampering to a new level.
Another glow-in-the-dark goodie, this bag balances the creepy with the cuteness. The skulls, windows, and coffin light up when the lights get low. I can only imagine I’ll get a lot of compliments on this one. This one is a member exclusive though, so make sure you sign up (it’s free!)
Whether you’re setting the mood for an early Halloween movie night, hosting a haunted BBQ, or just indulging in some self-care that smells like a bone-chilling October evening, this collection gives you all the tricks and treats to do it in style.
