Listen up, Disney fans! It’s officially time to enter your villain era. Just in time for spooky season, Bath & Body Works just dropped another fun collection featuring a range of candles, lotions and scentual accessories inspired by iconic Disney villainsSnow White's Evil Queen and Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent, and I, for one, can't wait to get my claws on all of it. Following the brand's highly successful collab earlier this year that featured items inspired by Disney princesses Cinderella, Belle, Moana, Tiana, Ariel and Jasmine, the Disney Villains collection includes nearly 40 items to choose from, such as this Evil Queen 3-Wick candle ($40) that channels her infamous poison apple with a hint of vanilla, and this Maleficent Dragon Wallflowers scent control nightlight ($25) that casts an enchanting glow—while filling your room with the wickedly addicting fragrance of your choice.

Below, shop these and a few more of my faves from the Disney Villains lineup.

Described as "opulent, fruity sweetness gilded in velvet vanilla poison," this three-wick candle features a bold blend of dark red apple, vanilla suede and wicked pear, giving your room an intoxicating scent that seems perfectly fit for fall. And that decorative lid that transforms from a regular apple to a poison one? Too frightfully fun to pass up, IMO.

Who says you're too old for a nightlight plug-in—especially one from Disney? Certainly not I! Per the brand, this Evil Queen-themed one, featuring a stunning pierced heart design that glows ruby red, offers three adjustable intensity levels to release the Evil Queen scent (sold separately) or any of your other favorite fragrances into your room just how you like it. "I wanted this Wallflower as soon as I found out about Disney Villains collection! Super pretty and it projects well," raves one early reviewer.

An ode to Aurora's high-cheekboned nemesis, this three-wick, soy-blend candle blends notes of sinister plum, midnight berries and mystical woods for an alluring aroma that truly represents the spirit of Maleficent's evil-but-charming ways. The jar is printed with dragon scales and is topped with a lid that nods to her fiery alter-ego. As one shopper writes, "It’s probably the coolest candle from the store. Yes, it’s more expensive but it smells nice. Also, the lid is freaking dope! It’s a lenticular silhouette of Maleficent’s head and dragon. It will be a wall hanging for me!" Oh yeah, I'm completely sold.

One diffuser nightlight not enough for you? No worries, this collection also includes a Maleficent-themed one that'll have you itching to cast some evil spells. While shoppers love the scent that's meant to go with it (also sold separately), what they really can't get enough of is the crafty design, which features a green scaled window made from clear acrylic, and intricate details (like the silhouette of her raven and famous horns) fans of the film will love. "The details are great and not cheaply painted. It comes with a Glittery Diablo crow, and glossy metallic dragon wings," raves one buyer.

Surely you didn't expect for this to be any old regular candle holder now did you? Referred to as the "décor accent designed for the Mistress of All Evil," both Bath & Body Works and Disney have truly outdone themselves with this creepy castle pedestal, which one shopper praises for its "diabolical design." The 16-inch-tall sculpture houses any three-wick candle, and has a sturdy base that makes it the ultimate centerpiece for your sinister soirées.
