Luxe Scent Profiles Inspired Some Bath & Body Works Summer 2026 Launches
Laura McQuarrie — May 22, 2026 — Fashion
Bath & Body Works' Summer 2026 collections share a mix of new and returning fragrances to spark joy and help people feel their best as they enjoy a warm-weather season. Alongside the nostalgic Bath & Body Works Beach Club collection, full of carefree scents like Neapolitan Ice Cream and Meet Me in Miami, there's a dupe-inspired Bath & Body Works Everyday Luxuries collection. Described as the marquee launch of the season, this collection introduces a trio of online-exclusive mini scents.
Bath & Body Works Everyday Luxuries offer affordable experiences of high-end scent profiles for summer. Name in Lights, with notes of mango, jasmine blooms and sandalwood; Oh My Rhubarb with wild strawberry, rhubarb jam, and soft musks; and V.I.Pear, which matches the fresh essence of its titular fruit note with freesia and amber woods.
