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?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    I’m with you Muse. Unscented laundry products all the way. I even use vinegar in place of fabric softener. Works as well, doesn’t leave a slimy film on towels, doesn’t gunk up your machine and dryer, and leaves no scent. This seems like BBW just jumping on the scented everything trend. If I want scent I wear perfume and body mists.
