Hi!

Hi! I’m Elayna Sisson. I’m a designer for Bath & Body Works, and I’ve been working here for 3 years. You may recognize some of my works if you’re a fan of Football Season, Sweater Weather, Blackberry & Basil, and Cider Lane (I love Fall). So excited to be here to answer any questions you have about my art practice, designing at BBW, my path as a graphic designer, and my fav products- AMA!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your great questions and enthusiasm about my work- it really means a lot to me. I gotta get back to work now but I'll be keeping an eye on this post for the rest of the day. If you're interested in more of my work, my portfolio website is elaynasisson.com ! This was so fun and I hope to do it again sometime!

Sales/Coupons Oct-Nov Sales Information

255 Upvotes

October is going to have quite a few Big Days coming up. The major sale dates :

Oct 5: Fall Sale starts?

Oct 6-7 : Prime Day competition sales - speculation based on prior years’ sales promo. There could be timed sales for different categories of products. Mostly Online Only. Not confirmed.

Tip: Keep checking for BBW gift card deals on Amazon, Sam’s Club etc starting Oct 1.

Oct. 9–11: Total Body Care - FFM + Body cream Big Days($4.95-$5.95?)

Oct 18 - Holiday Floor set -1

Oct. 20–21: Single-Wick Big Days ( $4.95-$5.95?)

Oct 25 - Holiday Floor set -2

Oct. 22–25: Cross-Category Big Days
Candles ($12.95 -13.95?)
Wallflowers and soaps ( 3.50?)

Oct. 30– Nov 1: 3-Wick Big Days ( $10.95 - $11.95?)

We should start seeing more holiday products roll out as October goes on.

Again, treat this as a rumor until BBW officially confirms it, but it gives us a good idea of what the month may look like.
All price points are my speculation based on historical promos.

Use this as a guideline to plan your budget and use your coupons appropriately.

Happy shopping! 🛍️

Sales/Coupons Nov - Dec Sales Information

57 Upvotes

This is a broader upcoming November sales events post only.

Nov. 6–8: Wallflower Big Days ($3-$3.50?)

Nov. 12–15: Wellness Promo + Total Body Care Big Days ($5.95?)

Nov. 15: Major Holiday Floorset 🎄

Nov. 20–22: Soap Big Days($3-$3.50?) Gel soaps? We will wait on that information

Nov. 23–24: Create Your Own Bundle(same as last year? Probably. $17.95 -$19.95?)

Nov. 25: Black Friday PWP Begins( I have not seen the PWPs yet)

Nov. 27: Black Friday Mega Event (don’t know deals yet. Could they repeat B3G4? Maybe.)

Nov. 28–29: Cross-Category Big Days (fixed price points for various categories)

Dec. 4–6: Candle Weekend / Candle Day 🕯️

Just a reminder, the $10 off $40 coupon in the booklet is for in-store purchases only. You can use it at the register, but it won’t work for online orders.

If you have multiple coupons, split your purchases into separate transactions to make the most of them, as long as each transaction meets the $40 minimum and the coupon terms allow it

Please treat this as early information/rumors for now. Dates, prices, and promotions are always subject to change at the discretion of BBW.

Sharing so everyone can plan their budget and purchases accordingly. November looks pretty packed, and with so many sales coming up, it might be worth holding off on certain purchases.

Personally, I’m waiting for Candle Day to see what they bring out this year. I’d rather save my candle budget and see what the new collections have to offer.

Prices are just my speculation based on historical sales promotions.

Also, remember December has the lowest price of the season’s sale event every weekend.💰💸

What are you waiting for? Black Friday or Candle Day?

Here is my post for this week.

Other Bath And Body Works is my escape

21 Upvotes

Just wanted to make an appreciation post for Bath and Body Works for being my escape and my happy place. Smelling my collection and watching YouTube videos about people talking about bath and body works is my sweet escape from my house of terror. I live in a house with domestic violence, not from my partner, but other household members and I love to get lost in my own little world of smells and nostalgia

Product Talk What B&BW scent would you give an 80s glam metalhead?

Just a fun question, but also important research that may be useful in my near future!
Side note, I’m Gen Z (late 90s baby) so if you were around for this scene I’d love some stories or to hear about other non-B&BW fragrances these women might’ve been wearing!

Haul Glitch - multi-hauls

I am utterly shocked they honored the glitch. I added up my BOPIS purchases and they were just over $75 (before tax).

Outlet prices for newer items 😱

I honestly thought 100% everything would be canceled. I went a little crazy but I figured I would not get any of it and I could ride the dopamine train. Insane.

I always look forward to new travel size items to check out

It sounds like there’s going to be a decent array of travel size items this holiday season.

I heard strawberry snowflakes was going to be online exclusive but guess not?

Is there going to be travel size body mist for a thousand wishes granted?

Had a rough week with my best doggie friend going to the rainbow bridge and then some other family stress, so I decided to stop in a store after dinner for some candles. I had my eye on Crispy Cookie Edges for a while so picked that one up while it’s still early. The Always Fleur and the preserves plug were on the fall sale table.

I tested some other stuff as well that I am going to hold off on. I want to get Vanilla Cocoa Flurries and All Eyes on Her on my next trip. I also have like three coupon books now…lol.

Product Talk Scent Notes Need to be Definitive

7 Upvotes

My husband is a football coach & I thot he might be interested in the Football Season fragrance. But he’s not one to want to make the trip to the store to smell it, so this was gonna be an online purchase. I told him I can look at the scent notes to get an idea of what it smells like:

Autumn Air- is that the air in the locker room or in the stadium?

Fresh Fallen Leaves- leaves from what plant?

Warm Flannel- is that the sweaty flannel shirt thrown in the laundry basket?

I know a lot of their scent notes are helpful. But there are also a lot of very nebulous descriptions that are not helpful when trying to make a decision.

Hello,

Is anyone else experiencing some of the more elaborate wallflower plugs falling and crashing onto the floor because they are heavier than what the plug can sustain? If so, what are you doing to keep them from falling out?

Reviews Trace of Blue, Saltwater Breeze, Light Blue Eau de Parfum

Post image
30 Upvotes

Last week I went to BBW and spray tested the new everyday luxury Trace of Blue on my arm.

I had been testing a sample of Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue Eau de parfum (does not have the apple of the Eau de toilette and I think more ambery woods) all week to see if I liked it.

I remember loving the Light Blue Eau de toilette because of the lemon and apple. But I do find the Eau de parfum of Light Blue has more woods like a softer version of Infinite Radiance in the dry down.

I have been on the fence about Infinite Radiance, liking it some times. I thought I could check out Trace of Blue since people were saying it had an Infinite Radiance vibe too. But I hoped softer.

Anyway I have Saltwater Breeze (also said to be a Light Blue dupe) from earlier this year and found it does kinda go detergent on me. I have grown kinda out of love with it.

So with mixed feelings I went to try Trace of Blue, also hearing that it was like Saltwater Breeze. I can say that Trace of Blue is not an exact dupe of Saltwater Breeze. It does still have some detergent notes like Saltwater Breeze (which Light Blue EDP does not have), but much less of it. I think it also has more citrus notes in the opening.

If you like or don’t mind Saltwater Breeze, I think you’ll like Trace of Blue. If you don’t like Saltwater Breeze, you may find Trace of Blue more tolerable but still too familiar. In my head I think Trace of Blue is like halfway between Saltwater Breeze and Light Blue EDP.

The Light Blue EDP is a smoother fragrance, more mellow somehow. But it is also quite unisex, just like a bit cologne at times in the dry down in the Infinite Radiance sort of way.

I still think I probably like the Eau de toilette the best, but haven’t smelled it in a long time. Maybe I would not like it as much if I smelled it again?

Anyway I think Trace of Blue probably is like the Light Blue EDP more than the EDT going by what others have said. I’ve also heard people say it’s like Light Blue intense (is that different?).

I was going to blind buy Trace of Blue with the sale last week but ultimately am glad I didn’t since there’s just enough Saltwater Breeze in there it would feel like a duplicate to me.

Happened to find Raspberry & Pink Lily in the back of my collection while I was trying figure out what I wanted to smell like after my shower and I took the time to smell it again. I wanna smell like it but I only have a few more times to wear it before I'm completely out😭


r/bathandbodyworks • • 12h ago

Candles 4 candles bought today during the hour long morning website glitch that made the total price abt 25.00. Decided to try the divisive Rouge that either smells good or like B.O. to some. Congrats to those who went big during the glitch. Rouge smells good to me.
