Bath & Body Works Is Bringing Spooky Season to Summer

Including a “Vampire Blood” candle that smells way better than you might think.

Bath & Body Works’ Summerween fragrances

Bath and Body Works

For many, Halloween isn’t just a kids’ holiday in October, it’s a lifestyle. After all, why is all the fun of tricks and treats relegated to fall? Plus, the celebration is a great time to indulge your inner child, whether you’re dressing up or decorating your house in a ghoulish theme. But thankfully, there are plenty of ways to experience that same joy, no matter the season. 

That’s what makes Bath & Body Works’ new oddball collection — aptly named Summerween — so sweet: It’s a declaration that anytime can be a spooky time. Summerween is a Halloween lover’s dream (or nightmare) come true, with limited-edition scents in the form of candles, fragrances, soaps, and more. 

The star of the show? A brand-new fragrance called I Scream Float, which smells exactly how it sounds: with notes of fizzing cola, creamy vanilla, and just a hint of sugar. (Imagine drinking a root beer float in a haunted house.) The limited-edition scent dropped early on TikTok Shop and sold out in just one day but it’s finally back in stock, alongside even more kooky options. For fans of darker vibes, there are much-beloved scents like Vampire Blood — with notes of red berries, night-blooming jasmine, and plum — and Immortal, Bath & Body Works’ first men’s Halloween fragrance, which debuted last year. This year, the woodsy scent is back — and housed in a coffin-shaped box. (Gotta love the attention to detail.) 

And because Bath & Body Works never met a seasonal accessory it didn’t double down on, the collection also features a bubbling cauldron soap dispenser, ghostly candle holders, black cat-shaped PocketBac hand-sanitizer holders, and even a Frankenstein’s Bakery luminary — perfect for casting a festive glow over your kitchen counter. 

“We’re fully embracing this exciting summer trend, which is now bigger than ever,” says Betsy Schumacher, chief merchant at Bath & Body Works. “Halloween is one of our customers’ favorite times of year, and we’re meeting them right where they are with the highest quality, trend-forward products to fit every mood and aesthetic.” 

Shop the Summerween collection now, before you meet a true horror: That the item you’ve been eyeing sells out.
