Bath & Body Works is taking holiday cocoa in a coconut direction. Its new Vanilla Cocoa Flurries fragrance pairs white cocoa with chilled coconut milk and vanilla woods, according to the brand.
That sounds like a very different holiday mood from the usual peppermint-and-chocolate combination.
The scent is part of Season of Wonder, the holiday collection Bath & Body Works announced October 26 with Zooey Deschanel fronting the campaign.
What’s in Vanilla Cocoa Flurries?
The brand lists three fragrance notes: white cocoa, chilled coconut milk and vanilla woods. Those are the company’s descriptions, rather than a firsthand sniff test.
Vanilla Cocoa Flurries comes in body care, home fragrance and hand soaps. The fine fragrance mist is one option if you want to wear it.
Snowflakes & Cashmere gets a new perfume format
There’s also news for Snowflakes & Cashmere fans. The returning fragrance is available as an eau de parfum for the first time, the company says.
Its notes are vanilla cashmere cream, caramel woods and frosted clementine. Same familiar fragrance name, another way to wear it.
If you’re comparing the mini eau de parfum with a mist or a larger perfume, check the selected bottle size before comparing prices. The bottles pictured together in a holiday display aren’t necessarily the size you’ve selected online.
For gifting, start with whether your person would actually use a fragrance mist, hand soap or something for their home. Then choose the format. Pretty packaging can make that decision dangerously easy to skip.
