List of retired bath and body works scents

  • Bath & Body Works frequently discontinues fragrances to make room for new products.
  • Though customers may think their favorite scents are gone forever, many discontinued products are actually sold exclusively on the Bath & Body Works website.
  • All retired products sold on the Bath & Body Works website are included in online sales and promotions.


For those of us who can't afford to spend a fortune on perfumes and body lotions, Bath & Body Works has always offered low-cost yet high-quality options.

Still, the brand constantly retires products to make room for new lines — and there's no worse feeling than your signature scent being discontinued. But before you mourn the loss of your favorite old fragrances, check the Bath & Body Works website.

There's an almost hidden page on the store's website where you can find a ton of retired products that you can still buy online

According to Bath & Body Works' website, the retired scents were brought back online in response to customer feedback.

Here's just a sample of some products you might see on the page:

Retired fragrances on Bath & Body Works' website are marked with a "Retired" label. Bath & Body Works

While the website's "Retired Fragrances" page doesn't definitively state how long the products will be available, it does say that "you'll be best friends forever" with the retired products — so it seems like they'll be around for a while.

This statement can be found at the bottom of the "Retired Fragrances" page. Bath & Body Works

The retired scents are also included in online sales, so you can add them to your cart the next time Bath & Body Works has a "Buy Three, Get Two Free" sale.

To find the page, head to the dropdown menu under 'Body Care'

The "Retired Fragrance" page isn't promoted on the Bath & Body Works website, but its not too hard to find. First, click on the "Body Care" tab at the top of the website, and then scroll down to "Featured" products; the "Retired Fragrance" page should be listed on the right.

To find the retired fragrances, search through Bath & Body Works' "Featured" section. Bath & Body Works

Not every discontinued product is included on the website, but many of the brand's most iconic scents are available

Some popular retired scents worth picking up include the "Plumeria" shower gel ($12.50).

The "Twilight Woods Shea Body Cream" ($13) is still a customer-favorite, despite being discontinued years ago.

The "Cucumber Melon Fragrance Mist" ($14) is refreshing, so it make sense that shoppers wanted Bath & Body works to bring this scent back.
