Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffles 2 in 1 Body Wash Review

Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffles 2 in 1 Body Wash

The new Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffles 2 in 1 Creamy Body Wash and Bubble Bath has sold out online but it is available in stores and on sale for $10 (originally priced at $16.50).

I have a funny, funny feeling this is going to prove impossible to find soon so if you see it snag it! Don’t wait!

I grabbed up Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffles 2 in 1 Body Wash last week in store. It was at the check out and marked at $10 with a big sign. They don’t actually have it mixed in with anything else around the store so as I was checking out I had a little squeal moment when I saw it right there on the shelf next to my arm as I was checking out.

Bath & Body Works did a huge range of 3 in 1 Body Washes a few years ago for the Holidays, Fall, and Summer. I’d say there were at least 10-15 different seasonal scents such as Ice Tea Twist, Sassy Strawberry Mint, Glittery Gumdrop…heck there was even a Valentine’s Day one entitled I Love Licorice! These were formulated as a shampoo, body wash, and bubble bath just like Philosophy’s version. This new version is marketed as a bubble bath or body wash though!

Bath & Body Works is really push the Pumpkin Pecan Waffle fragrance as it is available in hand soap, candle, etc…..it’s supposed to smell like warm waffles, sugared pecans and with a drizzle of maple syrup! Personally I don’t get the warm spiciness I expect from the scent that pumpkin would lend to it. I actually don’t get much pumpkin at all or waffles for that matter. It is very a very cakey fragrance with a good deal of sugary syrupy smell to it. Honestly, I wouldn’t say it was pumpkin or waffles you’re getting here but it does have a cake-like fragrance that’s pleasant to my nose but could prove a bit too synthetic for some. I liked it though none the less.

It lathers up beautifully and rinses clean away without leaving my skin dry. As a bubble bath it creates a very nice mound of bubbles. The fragrance is much like Philosophy’s Shower Gel as it smells GOOD in the shower but it doesn’t linger outside of it!

I asked the rep at Bath & Body Works if they’d be getting anymore of the 2 in 1 Body Washes but she said no. I suspect we might see one or two pop up for the Holidays though! What do you think?

Anyone grab this?

Thoughts?

Do share!

I purchased this item.

    I really like the new pumpkin scents B&BW released this year! I just got that pumpkin set you mentioned last week and it’s great! I will pass on this though because I just ordered the new Philosophy fall set from QVC, can wait to try it out!

    i was SO excited to see this online, i miss the 3 in 1s they used to have, esp the holiday ones. i did however smell the pumpkin waffles hand cream in store as i was ready to go all in and buy everything but as you said just about no pumpkin in the scent, was disappointed :/ same with the pumpkin latte marshmallow one, sounded so yum in theory but another fail for me. hoping some promising goodies are in store for holiday!!

    I bought the foaming hand soap version along with the other new fall fragrances last week since all the hand soaps are currently on sale $24 for seven. I also use them as a shampoo because they leave my hair smelling so delicious. The Pumpkin Pecan Waffles are nice, but I like the Warm Cozy Vanilla (I think that’s what it’s called) better..actually, they ALL smell nice, so I will go back this weekend for the candles since they sent me a 20% off coupon last month. Don’tcha just love fall? 🙂

    This is one of the things I picked up the other night. The kids love this as a bubble bath, and I was pretty pleased when I used it as a shower gel. Definitely reminded me of Philosophy. I think it has a fairly authentic dark maple smell that is sweet but not sugary. I like it.

    This is one of my favorite home scents EVER. The plug in and fragrance oil I have from last year smell SO good! It smells like you are cooking sweet, buttery waffles. However, I do not feel this scent translated the same to their body line. Great idea,but it just does not smell the same in the body products. Now the pumpkin latte & marshmallow lip gloss….tastes like heaven! haha 😉
