Does anyone like this brand? I love all the different scents. I've only recently discovered them since they appeared on the Next website but have bought from ebay too. I bought a coconut hand wash with Christmas designs on, a pumpkin one and have ordered a mini warm vanilla sugar shower gel and strawberry pound cake hand cream. Yum.

Thanks again OP, for showing me where my Xmas money will be going on presents this year for me. 😊

I used to love their tropical line, great body scrub and shimmery lotion.
Not looked at the next line.

I love Bath & Body Works & it's the one thing about being self employed, I don't get business trips to the US to stock up. Does anyone know if they are doing the buy 3, get 3 free thing at Bluewater? It's a long way from me but might have to make a pilgrimage if they are.
Can we send a local to investigate?

Absolutely love B&BW. I'm hoping their brand being stocked at next is a test for opening their own shops here. Next are pretty good though, they're not just stocking the long term varieties but regularly bring in the seasonal stuff too. Good quality with scent stating power, unlike the insipid Body Shop, who I cannot fathom how they manage to keep going.

HermioneWeasley · 01/12/2022 13:14

Really like their stuff and always stock up when I’m in the states.

I absolutely love them! Was thrilled when Next started doing some bits but the range is very limited. Plus the price 😞

If you go on line they have loads more :)

MorrisZapp · 01/12/2022 13:15

Are they in any Next shops or just the website? I love the watermelon and cucumber scent.

RewildingAmbridge · 01/12/2022 13:19

The Bluewater one is essentially a concession inside Next. I found it all very sweet. Didn't see any particularly big offers

Cookerhood · 01/12/2022 13:22

Hard to sniff them on line. A lot are very sweet, but there are absolute gems amongst them.

These are my hand washes. ❤ The pumpkin one is from ebay and the coconut one is from Next.

I'm going to Cheshire Oaks tomorrow, there is a Next outlet there that stocks Victoria's Secret etc. Never thought to look for B&BW in there.... I shall report back.

Greenshake · 01/12/2022 13:34

I have just persuaded my husband that we need a pre-Christmas Bluewater trip so I too will report back.

stressbucket1 · 01/12/2022 13:38

Next had an offer on these Monday this week. Seems like it's finished now but it was buy 2 get 2 free. It included shower gel/body sprays and handcream but not candles. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for. I've had one of their candles in the past too and they are amazing. Lovely scent and filled the room rather than the yankee ones that you need to be on top of them to notice the smell.

They used to have UK shops back in the 90s

monsteronahill · 01/12/2022 13:47

I absolutely love them!! Although the ones sold in the UK aren't manufactured in the same place as the bits sold in the US I've been told, so I am going to go and try to see if I can sniff any differences.

I normally stock up on my trips to the US, took a full suitcase last time! The hand sanitisers are the best.

Wish I'd known about them. There weren't any at my local shopping centre in the 90s but I'd have happily travelled to one.

I'd never heard of this brand before but coincidentally one of the ladies at my Zumba class this morning was talking about it and gave me a bit of her handcream in the Signature fragrance. It was lovely. She said about Next in Bluewater selling it as others have mentioned up this thread. I'm definitely going to have a look when I am next over there.

Crazycatlady202020 · 01/12/2022 16:40

I went to the new one in Bluewater last week. They had a deal 4 for the price of 2 on hand soaps and shower gels. However, my mum went today and said the offers weren't on anymore. Hopefully after Christmas they will bring them back!

Greenshake · 01/12/2022 17:06

The Black Cherry Merlot products are gorgeous

BerthafromBolton · 01/12/2022 18:01

I am lucky my son is Cabin crew and always brings me back bits from their Japanese cherry blossom collection.

SuperPug · 01/12/2022 18:03

There was an amazing B +B shop in Milton Keynes in the mid-nineties. Lots of beautifully presented gift sets for a reasonable price. The prices at Next for the products is ridiculous.

It is. It's definitely going to be more of an annual Christmas/birthday treat for me rather than regular. I'll look out for discounts too

They often do buy 2 for £X which is when I usually stock up!
I love the hand washes, candles and body sprays
In the stars is v similar to baccarat rouge

Geamhradh · 01/12/2022 18:45

They had shops in the UK in the late 80s and early 90s. I remember going to the one in Derby.

Apart from Next I can get them online here in Italy and really rate them. Candles are gorgeous.

TheBakingBee · 01/12/2022 20:38

Are their candles like Yankee? Or do the smell a bit more high end like for example White Company?
