The collaboration that had everyone obsessing over Birthday Cake scented everything is back and this time, Bath & Body Works × Milk Bar is going even bigger for the holidays! This expanded collection brings four brand-new dessert-inspired fragrances that smell good enough to eat, plus the return of that beloved Birthday Cake scent. And here’s the sweetest part: Milk Bar is releasing limited-edition treats at select bakery locations, so you can literally taste what you’re smelling. Talk about a full sensory experience! 🍰✨




Meet Your New Holiday Scent Obsessions 🎄


Bath & Body Works and Milk Bar understand that gourmand fragrances (those delicious, dessert-like scents) do more than just smell good: they spark joy, comfort, and those warm fuzzy feelings we desperately need during the holiday season. 





Raspberry Holiday Pie Bar Imagine pulling a warm holiday pie from the oven. That’s this scent. A festive, fruit-forward blend of raspberry jelly, sugar cookie, and toasted almonds creates something sweet, jammy, and perfectly cozy. 





Cinnamon Pretzel Cookie Sweet meets salty in this warm, irresistible scent. Toasted pretzel, cinnamon dusting, and sugared vanilla come together like the ultimate holiday cookie fresh from the oven. If you love cozy, bakery-inspired scents with a little something extra, this one’s calling your name. 





Peppermint Bark Truffle For peppermint lovers, this is your moment. A decadent mix of peppermint chocolate cake, crushed candy cane, and creamy white chocolate delivers cool, rich, irresistibly indulgent vibes. Perfect for anyone who counts down to peppermint season all year long.



Cereal Milk Soft Serve Here’s where nostalgia may lead your nose. Golden cornflakes, frosted sugar, and soft ice cream swirl together in a creamy throwback to Saturday morning cartoons and that sweet milk left at the bottom of your cereal bowl. It’s playful, unique, and totally unexpected.





Birthday Cake (The Original) The fan-favorite that started it all returns! Layered vanilla cake and creamy frosting deliver pure holiday joy in scent form. If you missed it the first time or went through your stash too quickly, now’s your chance to stock up.
