COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bath & Body Works is expanding its home fragrance offerings with the new Reserve Collection, a fragrance franchise designed to seamlessly integrate fragrance into home decor. The collection brings together elevated fragrance and modern decor to create spaces that look beautiful and smell inviting.
The Reserve Collection introduces a new flameless home fragrance option from Bath & Body Works: Fragrance Infused Liquidless Reed Diffusers, that brings scent and style together in a customizable ceramic vessel and fills a space with fragrance for up to 30 days. A statement-making 30-ounce four-wick ceramic candle anchors the collection, delivering up to 70 hours of room-filling scent while doubling as a decorative centerpiece.
The inspiration behind the Reserve Collection is rooted in how consumers are using fragrance today: to scent a room and to shape the atmosphere of their homes. The collection is a direct expression of Bath & Body Works’ Consumer First Formula, the brand's strategic transformation plan that places the consumer at the center of every decision.
Every fragrance in the Reserve Collection was developed with world-class perfumers and leading fragrance houses, bringing prestige-level craftsmanship backed by the fragrance expertise for which Bath & Body Works is known. Available across multiple forms, including single-wick and four-wick candles, Wallflowers, Fragrance Infused Liquidless Reed Diffusers and room mists, each scent features simple but distinctive ingredient pairings. The four new fragrances include: Santal + Amber, Sea Salt + Musk, Lavender + Jasmine and Vanilla + Tonka. Sweet Orange + Agave rounds out the collection, creating a range that moves from warm and woody to fresh, herbal and bright.
- Santal + Amber: sandalwood, cashmere and amber create a warm, textured scent with a soft, refined finish.
- Sea Salt + Musk: bergamot, sea salt and vetiver bring a fresh, airy feel inspired by clean coastal notes.
- Lavender + Jasmine: lavender, rosewood and sage offer a calming herbal-floral blend with a grounded, modern edge.
- Vanilla + Tonka: vanilla bean, cedarwood and musk deliver a smooth, comforting fragrance that feels cozy without being overly sweet.
- Sweet Orange + Agave: citrus, agave and jasmine add a bright, uplifting option to the assortment.
Designed as a cohesive system, the collection lets consumers carry one scent from room to room or curate a different mood for each space. It is also designed to feel naturally inspired and aligned with where fragrance is heading, including notes like sea salt, musk and santal, while remaining timeless enough for everyday use.
“The Reserve Collection brings sophistication to home fragrance,” said Veronique Gabai-Pinsky, chief brand and product officer at Bath & Body Works. “We wanted to create a collection where form, function and scent work together and deliver true innovation in a way that feels both intentional and approachable. The collection reflects our Consumer First Formula in action, a collection shaped entirely by how our consumers want to experience fragrance at home, using scent as another decor element to express their unique personality. Reserve is scent as design.”
