Dove is introducing new seasonal scents to its limited-edition 'Holiday Treats Collection,' returning for its third year with refreshed packaging and returning favorites.
Beginning August 8, Walmart will launch new 'Winter Berry' and 'Snickerdoodle,' both retailer exclusives, alongside new 'Pear Delight' and returning 'Cinnamon Pumpkin,' 'Pecan Crunch' and 'Sugar Cookie.' Later this fall, the assortment will expand to Target and other retailers with additional fragrances, including 'Salted Caramel,' 'Vanilla Frosting' and 'Frosted Plum.' Across the collection, the holiday-inspired scents are available in formats such as body wash, body scrub, beauty bars, antiperspirant deodorant and liquid hand wash.
With prices ranging from $4.99 to $8.99, the seasonal collection combines festive fragrance profiles with Dove’s established personal care formats, providing consumers with a broader selection of scents and products for everyday body care throughout the holiday season.
