Whether you've already booked a leaf-peeping getaway to Vermont — where you plan to stay on a farm that makes its own apple cider donuts — or else are simply planning on celebrating each week of autumn with candlelit bubble baths, the brand's Preserve collection hopes to be there for all of it, bottling the joys of fall in an expansive assortment of said candles, hand soaps, body washes, fragrance mists, sanitizers, and beyond.
bath & body works ' preserve collection for fall
New for 2026 is the hero Wild Blackberry Jam scent , capable of transporting you to a pastoral paradise with its notes of velvet fig, amber woods, and, of course, fresh blackberry jam that was allowed to sit out in the sun for a while: sticky, rich, and bursting with fruitiness that still retains olfactory depth.
SELL-OUT RISK
Bath & Body Works Wild Blackberry Jam 3-Wick Candle
$24.95
Fills rooms for up to 45 hours.
But perhaps our favorite, never-before-seen element of this ingredient-focused drop is the design of all those glass candle and nightlight-slash-frangrance plug containers with their decorative, checkered tops that evoke the jam jars your grandma used to gift you with — containing two main ingredients: homemade jam and love — at summer's end.
A guarantee? The votives and flameless fragrances will fill every nook and cranny of your abode not only with multifaceted, layered sweetness but also heartwarming nostalgia, which is precisely what's needed on a crisp and moody afternoon in October.
FLAMELESS & SAFE

With these arrivals, Bath & Body Works has presented a refreshingly mature side of itself. Focused on elevated hospitality, the products encourage a splurging experience, but of the timeless, nature-inspired variety and minus the three-figure price tags. You'll spot this ethos in multiple subtle touches, right down to the artwork adorning some candles' vessels — depicting vast fields with pumpkins in the foreground , bountiful apple orchards , and sunsets setting stalks of wheat on fire .

Other must-haves in the collection feature wallpaper-like patterning directly influenced by the style and je ne sais quoi of traditional bed-and-breakfasts, optimally located somewhere peaceful and forested. So too do the very names of each release speak volumes about the sense of place Bath & Body Works seeks to create (the likes of Autumn Drive , because cruising with your windows down on a golden fall evening requires no further explanation; the similarly succinct Leaves ; and Honeycrisp Hayride ).
