Bath & Body Works Summerween 2025 Collection: Collage
Bath & Body Works

Break out your watermelon jack-o'-lanterns and frozen apple cider slushies, folks—there's no need to wait until October 1 to start celebrating the spooky season when 'Summerween' is upon us.

Just as it sounds, the kitschy concept (which originates from a 2012 episode of the animated series Gravity Falls) involves celebrating Halloween in, well, the middle of summer. As a self-proclaimed extended member of the Addams Family, I certainly don't need to be convinced to get in on the action—especially now that Bath & Body Works has launched a frightfully fragrant (and totally adorable) collection of candles, scents, body care and home decor for the summertime spookfest.

If you, too, are a year-round Halloween obsessive, read on for six new and returning Bath & Body Works picks that'll help set the scene for your (air-conditioned, of course) creepy cocktail parties and viewings of Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown and Practical Magic.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for this creepy crawly-adorned three-wick candle that's meant to smell like a classic ice cream float. The soy wax blend boasts notes of fizzy cola and sweet vanilla (a brand new scent from the brand that also comes in the form of body cream and hand soap), and has a burn time of up to *45* hours. Sweet treats and spiders—could it get any more Summerween-worthy?

I don't need to consult my tarot deck to predict that this witchy candle holder is going to sell out soon. It dresses up any three-wick candle with its metallic design of boots, brooms, webs and cauldrons, and has a sturdy, decorative base that brings the gothic charm. Early buyers are already spellbound, like this one who writes, "It looks even better in person. I really am not a candle holder person, but this one just makes me happy looking at it, and I like that the entire candle is secure inside of this holder."

Something wicked this way comes—and it smells amazing. Nab this enchanting scent in the form of a fine fragrance mist, and you'll float into every room on a cloud of vanilla, amberwood and peppy pink pepper. Not only is the formula free of parabens and tested by dermatologists, it's also hailed by some reviewers as the best vanilla scent Bath & Body Works has ever released.

If you plan on gathering your ghoulfriends for a Summerween soirée, this fruity, floral and all-around "fa-boo-lous" soy-blend candle is a must. As the three-wick flames flicker on, you and your crew will be enveloped in a bright blend of strawberries, peonies and citrus, which buyers describe as sweet, but not too strong. It's sure to be spirited, to say the least.

Shed some light on what goes bump in the night with this cute and colorful witch's cabinet, dotted with potions and a crystal ball. In addition to casting a moody glow on your wall, this pretty, apothecary-style design also releases your favorite refillable home fragrances into the air—at three customizable intensity levels, no less. Simply plug it into an outlet and watch the magic happen.

This cutesy-creepy bake shop isn't just for display—it's also a functioning luminary candle holder for all of your three-wick jars. Though it's no doubt quite a bit pricier than most offerings from the brand, the whimsically detailed piece has instantly become a coveted collectible that's sure to last for many Halloweens (and Summerweens) to come, notably due to its heavy and high-quality resin construction. Early reviewers have great things to say about it, with many gushing over its clever little accents and centerpiece-worthy size. "What a perfectly magnificent, marvelous and sweet enchanted delight! This luminary was made with great attention to detail. Nothing about or on it looks or feels cheap, and the piece is heavy," writes one. "Someone put a lot of work into this and it shows." I, for one, am prepared to keep this on my dining room table from now 'til next summer.
