The first Bath & Bodyworks store opened in Singapore last weekend, and as a scent fanatic, I had to visit as soon as I could! Luckily for me, it happened on the following Tuesday. My aunt introduced me to BBW 7 years ago when we were holidaying in the US. We visited the store at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and it was during the semi-annual sale, needless to say we went crazy. At that time, I mostly bought bath & body and lipbalms (loved those C.O. Bigelow lipglosses!)
This time round, I bypassed the bath & body and headed immediately to the candle section! I spent a scent-tastic 30 mins in there sniffing every single candle and every wallflower bulb tester in there. There were three collections of candles available, Signature Collection, Sweet Shop and Fresh Picked. Wallflower and home fragrance scents were mostly from the Signature collection. As I sniffed my way through the candles, I decided that I am really not a fan of cake scents, they are too cloying for me and in this constant tropical heat, it's just too much for me. Scents I did like included Merry Mango, Sweet Clementine, Sugared Lemons, Lavender Marshmallow, Eucalyptus Mint and Moonlight Path.
But beyond the candles, I was most excited to pick up some Wallflowers plugs and refills. And I was so glad that they are priced affordably at $10 each. For the opening week, the Wallflowers were on sale at $9 each, and 4 for $35. I picked up a White Wedgewood Gate (designs are limited to basic conicals and the wedgewoods) and three refills in Sweet Pea, Paris Amour and Renew & Refresh. I have the Sweet Pea switched on right now and it has a really good throw! I can't wait to pick up more scents soon!
