Does Bath & Body Works have essential oils?
We totally love how many ways essential oils can fit into your routine (obsessed, actually), so we just had to include them in the Bath & Body Works aromatherapy collection.

This reveals how the fragrance uniquely adapts to you, helping you find your signature perfume – the perfect olfactory expression of your individuality and style.In general, you should never need more than five sprays of a good fragrance. It’s like having a great physique under your clothing that nobody can really identify until it’s revealed. If you can smell somebody without being in their intimate space, the chances are that it is too much.Spray Directly on the Skin Fragrances last longer and smell their best when in direct contact with your body’s natural oils. For best results, spritz your body mist all over your skin straight after your shower or bath. While you can apply to clothing or fabric, body mist lasts longer when sprayed onto your skin.
