We’re coming to an end of the Dove Holiday Treats 2024 Collection and wrapping things up things with a review of Dove Gingerbread Delight. As you know Dove brought back some the Holiday Treats Collection this year and reintroduced some scents from last year like Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie and Sugar Cookie! And we got some new treats like Hot Cocoa Swirl, Frosted Plum Berry, Pecan Butter Crunch, and more! Dove Gingerbread Delight is one of those new scents and it happens to be exclusive to Target as well. I was pretty excited about Hot Cococa Swirl but Gingerbread Delight was actually one I really was hyped to smell! I was hoping for a spicy gingerbread and iced frosting scent.

Did it live up to what I imagined?

Dove Gingerbread Delight is available in a body wash, body scrub, bar soap, and hand soap. I only got the body wash as at the time I couldn’t find the body scrub, deo, or bar soap. As of now it’s readily available all over Target’s website and in stores but I never went back to pick any of it up and I’m actually glad I didn’t as the body was a blind buy and I didn’t love it! I ended up saving money in the end with it being out of stock!

This is supposed to smell like softened butter, sweet molasses, and candied ginger. It’s actually really an odd scent. I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. It sort of smells a little fruity but with a ton of pumpkin spice thrown in. I don’t really smell anything gingerbread about it. It’s smells a bit like the Dove Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie with a bit of someone unknown sweetness thrown into the mix. The actual body wash is wonderful! It’s lightly moisturizing, heavily scented, and creates super rich lather. But sadly, the scent wasn’t my thing.

    i bought the bar soap, body scrub and deodorant on a whim and i love them all! i went back to try and buy the body wash but it is now all sold out. we usually agree on scents so i’m bummed you didn’t love it. i coordinate it all with the jo malone ginger biscuit perfume (muse approved!) and just love the way i smell lol.

    Gingerbread Delight hand soap is disgustingly overpowering if you have used it more than a couple times. Yes, you will like it that very first time, but now anything gingerbread smells revolting to me, like I’ve been forced to eat two dozen gingerbread cookies in one sitting. If they knocked the scent down to 1/10th, I think I would still enjoy them. They’re as intense as Pinesol as is.
