The Bath and Body Works cocktail candles have been unveiled by the brand as a new series of items for the home that will bring the rich scents of a bar to your living space.
The candles come in four distinct options including 'Gin & Tonic,' 'Orange Bitters Bourbon,' 'Elderflower Martini' and 'Mint Julep,' which make them a rich collection of scents for the holidays. Each one comes packaged in a glass jar with a screw-top lid to convey the retro aesthetic, while also looking like premium candles you'd obtain from a small neighborhood shop.
The Bath and Body Works cocktail candles have been revealed as part of its holiday collection, which means they'll only be around for a limited time.
