Developed in collaboration with Disney and crafted by [Bath & Body Works’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summerween-1) perfumers, the collection reimagines two of Disney’s most iconic villains, the Evil Queen from Snow White and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty through distinctive fragrance profiles. Each scent is designed to capture the intrigue, mystery, and allure of these characters, offering consumers an immersive sensory experience. The Evil Queen fragrance combines "dark red apple, wicked pear, vanilla suede, caramel-spun sugar, and glittering woods to reflect her elegance and power." Maleficent, by contrast, features a blend of "sinister plum, midnight berries, and mystical woods, evoking the strength and enchantment of her forest realm." For the first time, Bath & Body Works is launching such a Disney collaboration simultaneously in both domestic and international markets, broadening access for fans worldwide.
