Hall’s Haul: Bath & Body Works Hand Soaps – Spring 2022

Happy Friday! Spring has definitely sprung in my yard and I am absolutely loving it! It’s so satisfying to be able to pull blooms from my very own garden for the pictures in my posts here. Plus, it saves money and a trip to the market which is always a win!

Fresh-blooming scents for spring

Today I’m sharing my favorite of this year’s spring soap offerings from Bath & Body Works. There’s light and clean florals, lots of vanilla, and, of course, I had to throw in a couple of gourmands because they’re my favorite! I’ve listed them loosely in order from most fresh and floral to more sweet and gourmand.

Some lovely-smelling ways to keep clean this spring

Fresh Flower Picking

  • Notes: spring water lily, wild green ivy, relaxing jasmine
With spring finally here, I get to enjoy picking flowers from my own garden again!

This pleasant fragrance transports me to my garden, with the aroma of dewy leaves, flowers, and freshly-mown grass all around me. It’s a light and gentle floral with just a teeny-tiny hint of citrus. Very clean, mellow, and not overpowering in any way, this crisp scent is perfect for any room.

Fresh and clean

Pink Lilac & Vanilla

  • Notes: fresh lilac bouquets, dewy greens, vanilla blossom
  • This Fragrance Also Available In: single-wick and 3-wick candles, Wallflowers home fragrance, car fragrance
So excited that my own lilacs are just starting to bloom!

My own lilacs are just starting to bloom and I can confirm that B&BW has accurately portrayed their lovely fragrance here. A lovely lilac-heavy fragrance with a sweet little kiss of vanilla, this soap is the very epitome of spring. This gorgeous, lightly-sweetened floral is sure to lift your spirits and surround you with a cheerful springtime ambiance.

Lavender Marshmallow

  • Notes: lavender, vanilla marshmallow, warm amber
Cozy & fresh at the same time

A unique but enjoyable combination of lightly aromatic lavender and just a hint of sweet marshmallow. This fragrance reminds me of a lavender ice cream or some bougie sugar cookies flavored with a hint of lavender. It smells a bit sweet while lathering but once you rinse, it leaves such a pleasant and delicate scent. I would definitely say this leans a touch feminine but certainly, anyone could enjoy it.

My lavender is just starting to bloom, too!

Coconut Sandalwood

  • Notes: coconut palm, luxurious sandalwood, warm musk
  • This Fragrance Also Available In: 3-wick candle, concentrated room spray, and PocketBac hand sanitizer
Creamy sandalwood is a perfect match with coconut

Lovely and gentle sandalwood and coconut blend with the emphasis more on the sandalwood and the coconut as a lighter, supporting player. Sandalwood has warm and creamy nuances so blending it with coconut is a perfect and natural match. This is a wonderful and easy-going scent that can be used anywhere in the house. 100% unisex. I also have (and love!) the concentrated room spray in this fragrance.

Lots of great summery vibes…
…but it’s also a cozy scent that’s really perfect year-round

Sweet Sugar Sprinkles

  • Notes: whipped vanilla, confetti sprinkles, sugared strawberries
Sweet strawberry yumminess

The moment I first smelled this soap, it was soooo familiar to me. Then it hit me: it’s a dead ringer for a long time fave of mine, TokyoMilk’s Honey & The Moon scent! It has a tangy, tart citrus vibe and reads more as melon, honey, and sandalwood to me. It’s very refreshing and despite the name, more tart than sweet. Layer with Honey & the Moon shea butter lotion to keep the feel of this beautiful scent with you all day.

Not too sweet, it’s tart, too

Pistachio Cream Puff

  • Notes: pistachio, almond, whipped vanilla
A slight sweet nutty scent

SO YUMMY! Containing a double dose of nutty goodness with notes of both pistachio and almond, this one smells like freshly baked pistachio-flavored macarons. Sweet (but not TOO sweet) and nutty, it makes the perfect kitchen scent. A must for anyone who likes pistachio, almond, and marzipan scents and especially if you enjoy the smell of pistachio or almond cookies, this should be a slam dunk.

Chock full o’ nuts

Vanilla Cloud

  • Notes: whipped vanilla, apple blossom, sandalwood
Still a fave!

I raved about this fragrance last year and it’s still a top fave that I stock up on whenever I see it. I was able to snag one in this pretty, textured pink bottle this year. It’s a perfect combo of cotton candy-like vanilla with the absolute perfect light touch of sandalwood. The peach is also very subtle and nice. It’s cozy but clean and works well in any room in the house.

These apple blossoms from my yard smell like heaven!

Cozy Vanilla Almond

  • Notes: vanilla orchid, sugared almond, sweet musk
The name says it all: cozy!

This is the sweetest and most gourmand out of the bunch so, of course, it’s a huge love for me! It’s a rich vanilla scent and I think there may be an unlisted caramel note here. It’s well-named; ‘cozy’ is the accurate word for this one. If you love thick, delicious vanilla-caramel vibes, you’ll want to snatch this one up. It’s become one of my top favorite scents from B&BW.

A yummy gourmand scent

Along with Vanilla Cloud, this has become a staple in my house and I’ve recently gone through a second bottle in a row! It’s probably along the lines of a more cozy autumn/winter feel for most folks and I’ll admit I recently switched it out for the more springtime-appropriate Pink Lilac & Vanilla scent mentioned above. But if you’re like me and love your sweet gourmands, there’s no reason you can’t rock it year-round!

  1. Lol…wait, you like gourmonds?! I never! 😀

    Your garden blooms are so so pretty! I bet they are super lovely just after a rain shower with raindrops on the petals.

    The Fresh Flower Picking, Coconut Sandalwood and Vanilla Cloud sound interesting to me, especially the Fresh Flower Picking. That bottle is pretty too!

    I’ve been digging the A La Maison hand wash for a few years now, I buy multiples when I see them at TJ Maxx. But always looking for something new to try! Gotta get my butt into a BBW and see what I find – I know B will be into anything citrus. I am limiting myself to new candles until I burn through at least half of the ones we have now, and I same for body lotion and shower gel. But hand soap…that’s a whole nother thing!

    1. Hee hee 😉 I can’t help myself. I guess I have a sweet nose, lol, is that a thing?? Like a sweet tooth but for scents.

      Thank you so much! It’s so wonderful to see things blooming again 🌼 Gives me hope!

      I love the design on Fresh Flower Picking, too! So pretty. They did a similar theme for a few others:
      *Sunshine & Lemons, a perennial kitchen citrus fave: https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/sunshine-and-lemons-gentle-foaming-hand-soap-026408218.html?cgid=all-hand-soaps#start=50&sz=48
      *The herbal White Tea & Sage: https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/white-tea-and-sage-gentle-foaming-hand-soap-026408217.html?cgid=all-hand-soaps#start=63&sz=48
      *and the fruity-floral classic Endless Weekend: https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/endless-weekend-gentle-foaming-hand-soap-026408219.html?cgid=all-hand-soaps#start=74&sz=48

      I just love that minimalistic line art. So simple yet pretty.

      I don’t think I’ve tried any A La Maison’s soap yet. I will have to give it a whirl, love me some great TJ Maxx finds!

      OMG I am with you, I have curbed lotion and candle buying, too. Have been buying shower gel & hand soap for blog review purposes only but it’s time to gift some to my sisters & nieces and/or donate some. I’m overflowing! 😂
