Bath and Body Works' Cactus Blossom has been named the scent of the summer by the brand and it can be experienced with home products like three-wick candles and hand soap. The beloved candle scent shares the aroma of sweet cactus flower petals, plus coconut, vanilla and sparkling lemon.
Soon, Bath and Body Works' Cactus Blossom can also be experienced in a variety of body care products, including body wash, body gel, shea butter hand cream, a long-lasting moisturizing lotion with coconut oil and a fine fragrance mist.
While consumers have loved the smell of Cactus Blossom candles and other home products for many years now, this candle fragrance-inspired body care collection now offers a way for consumers to envelop themselves in the summery aroma away from the home environment.
