Bath and Body Works Laundry Detergent Will Be Available August 7th

Bath and Body Works Laundry Detergent will be available for Rewards Members starting August 7th. Yes, laundry detergent. I thought it was very interesting to see Bath and Body Works Shampoo and Conditioner popping up a few weeks ago but Bath and Body Works Laundry Detergent? Wow. Ok.
The new Laundry Detergent Collection includes five fragrances that were voted on my Rewards Members. Honestly, I never even noticed they had any polls open for this collection but ok, I’m here for it anyway. The scents include A Thousand Wishes, Lavender Vanilla, Cozy Cashmere, Mahogany Teakwood, Cactus Bloom, Eucalyptus Mint, and Sundried Linen.
I’m not really thrilled with these scents. Maybe I’d consider trying out Cozy Cashmere. That being said, I don’t really like strongly fragranced detergents. I actually use unscented detergent because I feel like the scent sort of clings to clothes and I don’t love the idea of walking around smelling like Tide all day. I feel like it also, interferes with my own perfumes when my clothes are heavily scented with a detergent’s scent. Not to mention this doesn’t seem like a great idea for sensitive users and people with allergies. I don’t personally mind but I imagine it would be a nightmare if you have any sort of breathing issues.
I imagine it sounds off that I’m not thrilled about these considering how much I love perfume and home fragrance and things that smell pretty. But I’m just not convinced I need my laundry to smell like my favorite Bath and Body Works Fragrance. I’m not sure if this is a limited run, a test one (to see how it does before launching more scents), or if they plan on just carrying these few scents in the general catalog. The bottles are 32 oz but not sure on the price perhaps $10-$12 per bottle (But I bet it’s probably $15-$20!).
I love that Bath and Body Works is venturing into new scent categories. It’s just they’re venturing into scent categories I’m not interested in or the ones I am interested in (the hair care) aren’t in scents I’d personally buy. You know, if they had cupcake scented laundry detergent I bet I’d consider buying it.
Bath and Body Works Laundry Detergent will be available August 7th as an app, rewards member exclusive. I’m not sure when these will roll out in stores or online for everyone but will update as more info becomes available.
What do you think of this collection?
