Bath & Body Works Halloween Collection 2023 (0:59)

Even though it's still summer and some people don't even want to think about spooky season, others are getting ready for Halloween in August. Halloween is the next big holiday, so it's no surprise that big companies and retailers are already dropping Halloween merchandise or collections to meet the public's demand. And one brand that's already gotten an early start on Halloween is Bath & Body Works . The body care and candle store is big on holidays, and their products this year don't disappoint.

Bath & Body Works' Halloween Collection launched at the end of July and is already selling out of its more unique products. Their items range from special scents just for this time of year to gaudy-yet-fun hand sanitizer holders to ornate candle holders (with one even costing $250).

Bath & Body Works sent Parade several items from their collection (in a massive box that truly felt like Halloween came early). Here are the most unique and best products in Bath & Body Works' 2023 Halloween Collection.

The 18 Best Products from Bath & Body Works's Halloween Collection 2023

Wallflowers & Car Fragrance Holders

1. Headless Horseman Wallflower Plug , $32.95

<p>Bath & Body Works</p> — Bath & Body Works

Starting off in no particular order (but grouping our favorite products by section), we have one of the best Wallflower plugs from BBW's 2023 Halloween collection. This dapper tuxedoed torso has a fancy rose on its lapel and a spider brooch. But once you plug it in, he's no longer headless and instead has a Jack 'o Lantern lighting up the wall instead. There are several other Wallflowers that light up in this collection as well, including the ghost carriage (which is unfortunately sold out already).

2. Haunted Castle Projector Wallflower Plug , $39.95

Speaking of light-up Wallflower plugs that project a surprise image onto the wall behind it, we have the Haunted Castle Wallflower plug. It really sets the scene for a spooky ambiance, which is welcome this time of year. There are 10 new Wallflower plugs in total and four fragrance refills .

3. LED Skull Crown Car Fragrance Holder , $14.95

And if you're into making your car smell good just like your home, Bath & Body Works released three new car fragrance holders with this collection. One of them is this Skull Crown item that lights up. There are about three different "themes" this year, one of them being a royal vampire theme, so keep a lookout for some more regal skulls coming up.

Body Care, Wash and Lotions

4. Everlasting Magic Ultimate Hydration Body Cream , $16.95

Another theme in Bath & Body Works' 2023 Halloween Collection is a golden snake theme (which gives off major Taylor Swift reputation vibes, but more on that later). This hydrating body cream is categorized as "fruity" but it's not overpowering at all. Everlasting Magic is supposed to smell like "strolling through an enchanted garden on a starry night" and has hints of "bejeweled berries, phantom petals and magic musk." The musky, woodsy smell is really what makes this appealing. Again, it's "fruity" but not overly sweet.

5. Midnight Spell Shower Gel , $13.50

In the "fresh" category of smells is Midnight Spell, and this shower gel is destined to make your bathroom smell enchanting. As the site says, it's meant to smell like "an enchanted walk in the woods," and has fragrance notes of "mystic air, moonlit woods and crystal amber." Not sure how BBW bottled up the scent of "mystic air," but it is very intoxicating, with an almost perfume-like smell.

6. Vampire Blood Shimmer Fizz Body Lotion , $17.95

A fun, newer item in this Halloween collection is the Shimmer Fizz body lotion. This product comes out as a foam but once applied and rubbed into your body, becomes a hydrating lotion. The "fizz" starts when you rub it in and it sounds like Pop Rocks and it slightly gives your skin a sparkle, hence the "shimmer" in its name. This scent, Vampire Blood, is a returning fragrance and smells like "red berries, night-blooming jasmine and plum" making it "equal parts fruity, floral and frightful."

Mists and Sprays

7. Midnight Spell Fine Fragrance Mist , $16.95

Getting into the mists and fragrance sprays this year, we first have the Midnight Spell fine fragrance mist. Again, this sleek black bottle contains a really fresh scent that can easily be confused with an expensive perfume.

8. Ghoul Friend Diamond Shimmer Mist , Travel Size, $9.95

Similar to how the Shimmer Fizz gives your skin a sparkle to it, so does the Shimmer Mist. While it's not going to give you the skin of a killer , it will give you some sweet glitter action. This scent, Ghoul Friend, is also returning this year and smells like "dark strawberries, ghostly peony and spine chilling citrus."

Hand Soap, Dispensers, Holders & Hand Sanitizer

9. Snake & Roses Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Holder , $19.95

Bath & Body Works' hand soaps are a majorly popular product and come in a ton of different fragrances. If you don't want to change out your favorite scent for fall or Halloween, this gorgeous hand soap holder is a good alternative. You can lean into the golden snake theme (and decorate your home as if you're in Swift's reputation era ) and put any of BBW's foaming hand soaps in the holder.

10. Spooky Skeleton Hand Gentle Foaming Hand Soap Holder , $19.95

Another fun, new holder Bath & Body Works has this year is a blinged-out skeleton hand. It also holds any BBW foaming hand soap for you (how kind of them), glows in the dark and makes some hauntingly fun cackling sounds when you push down on it.

11. Vampire Blood Gentle Foaming Hand Soap , $12.95

Coming in with another Vampire Blood product is this minimalist black skull foam hand soap dispenser. BBW sells empty soap holders like this but this one is already pre-filled with the Vampire Blood gentle foaming soap. If you want more aesthetic-looking Halloween decor this year, this sleek soap dispenser might just be for you.

12. Noise-Making LED Candle With Hand PocketBac Holder , $13.95

Bath & Body Works' hand sanitizers, known as PocketBac Hand Sanitizers, are only as fun as the PocketBac holder you have them in. And this year there are six spooky PocketBac holder designs, including the one above. This holder has a glow-in-the-dark skeleton hand holding a melting red candle. And the fun part is that it lights up and plays a Halloween song when you press the button in the back.

Candles & Candle Holders

13. Fortune Teller Waterglobe Candle Holder , $69.95

Okay, getting into Candle Central, we have one of the most elaborate and cool candle holders in this year's collection. The Fortune Teller Waterglobe candle holder lights up and has a motor inside its crystal ball to give a glimmer, divination effect. The globe changes colors and it makes for a spooky Halloween decoration. It's one of the more expensive candle holders this year, but there's luckily a range for holders if you don't want to splurge.

14. Everlasting Magic 3-Wick Candle , $36.95

We know what the Everlasting Magic scent smells like already—"bejeweled berries, phantom petals and magic musk"—and in candle form it's just as good. Plus, this special Halloween candle has a gorgeous metal top with a skeleton snowflake design.

15. Haunted House Luminary Candle Holder , $250

The most expensive candle holder Bath & Body Works has this year is making its comeback from 2021. Out of the 11 new candle holders, the Haunted House Luminary candle holder is the most expensive at $250. It's almost 11 inches in diameter and almost 14 inches tall and holds one 3-wick candle. It glows in the dark as well and can easily be a collector's item.

16. Filigree Skull With Crown Candle Holder , $34.95

Another ornate candle holder (but for a fraction of the price), this Skull With Crown candle holder is a good choice if you want a regal yet spooky theme with your decor this year. It takes up a bit of room, but at least it's functional.

17. Pumpkin Carving Mason Single Wick Candle , $15.95

You cannot go wrong with a pumpkin-scented candle during the fall, and this Pumpkin Carving scent is a classic BBW Halloween smell. This scent comes in a single-wick and 3-wick candle.

18. Midnight Spell 3-Wick Candle , $36.95

Lastly, we're rounding out the collection with another Midnight Spell scented product. This candle is fresh and like a nice perfume, but the best part is its golden snake lid. It's elegant and aesthetically pleasing; a great year-round Halloween decoration item (if you so please).
