Make sure you head over to your local Marshall’s and TJMaxx and be on the look out for Scentworx Bath and Body products. I recently got the Scentworx Hot Cider Donut Body Wash and Body Lotion on sale at Marshalls and it isn’t a half bad deal to spice up my Fall showers. I probably wouldn’t pay full price for these but at $7.99 for the 34 oz Scentworx Hot Cider Donut Body Wash and $5.99 for the 22 oz Hot Cider Hand & Body Lotion I’m cool with this purchase.
As you may know last year Homeworx candles started popping up at TJMaxx and Marshall’ss. I purchased a few but sadly, I’m off them now and returned to Bath and Body Works. I really LOVED Homeworx when it originally launched. They were massive, inexpensive, and they had incredible throw. Sadly, things somehow went downhill the last year or two. They smell amazing cold but once they are lit they have little to no scent and some tunnel badly. I hope Harry takes time out to correct it because I think he and his wife are fragrance geniuses and I’m surprised he hasn’t noticed the quality control on what is being launched lately 🙁
As you may know Harry Slaktin was involved with the creation of many Bath and Body Works Candles and later he launched Homeworx Candles. Once Homeworx started picking up speed he ventured into create body washes, hand soaps, body lotions, and even fragrance mists and entitled them Scentworx. I hadn’t tried any of them but I believe the body washes are only rarely offered up at QVC nowadays and the fragrance mists are gone but the hand soaps are still readily stocked on the Homeworx website. I was never really tempted to try them as I have SO many body mists it’s absurd.
As for bath and body stuff…! Well, you know how a trip to TJ or Marshall’s goes right? The most unlikely things end up in my cart and since these two were located at the checkout shelves I ended up adding them to cart without thinking much about it.
My Fall scent arsenal is pretty much stocked with a lot of pumpkin, apple, and other cozy scents but this spontaneous purchased wasn’t too shabby! As someone who adored Bath and Body Works Cinnamon Donut Swirl Body Lotion and Shower Gel I was pretty delighted to see this at Marshall’s and sort of hopeful it would smell the same but with a little apple thrown in! It isn’t quite at the level though but it was still a fun little purchase.
Out of the two items the body lotion was the most scented. It has a spicy apple donut scent that was delightful! It’s a very lightweight lotion that absorbs easily, doesn’t hydrate overly much, and can be used on hands or body. If you layer it with a donut-scented perfume or mist you’ll be good to go (and if the idea of a donut scented perfume amazes you, I promise, I have plenty!). The scent isn’t super strong nor does it give off an intense fragrance but it does capture the essence of a yummy apple cider donut. The body wash is less scented. This is a light apple donut scent with hints of spice but it wasn’t overly strong and it doesn’t linger on your skin! Much like Philosophy Shower gels it’s an in shower experience only.
You don’t really need them if your shower is already loaded up with Fall products but if not they’re a cheap, fun little Fall find! You might want to see them out your next trip to TJ or Marshall’s as they aren’t too badly priced. Let me know if you’ve seen or tried them!
