Black Friday is the year’s biggest sales event, but if you’re truly dedicated to discounts, then you probably already know that end-of-year sales are where the most epic savings really are. Retailers need to clear their inventory, so that’s when you’re going to see prices dramatically slashed (I’m talking 60, 70, 80 percent off). Bath & Body Works is one of those stores that goes all out at the end of December. Right now, they’re hosting their Semi-Annual Sale, which features 75 percent off hundreds of cult-favorites across all body care and home categories.
I’m talking soaps, candles, body lotions, diffusers, and more. So, if you’ve got a few bucks leftover from your holiday shopping, check out Bath & Body Works’ offerings and snag yourself some iconic winter fragrances for the rest of cozy season!

Lotions
Twisted Peppermint Body Lotion
On Sale 75% off
Twisted Peppermint may be a classic fragrance for the holidays, but it’s pretty delicious the entire winter season. It smells like like a candy cane, with a hint of vanilla sweetness.
Vanilla Bean Noel Body Butter
On Sale 75% off
Think vanilla, but slightly toasted like a sugar cookie.
This is my favorite body butter to use all winter long, since it provides 48 hours of moisture with ingredients like shea and cocoa butter.
Strawberry Pound Cake Body Lotion
On Sale 73% off
Ready for something that *doesn’t* smell like Christmas, but is still just as sweet? Just one whiff of
Strawberry Pound Cake, and you’ll want a plate of vanilla cake smothered in syrupy strawberry jam and whipped cream. That’s exactly what this smells like.
Vanilla Ease Hand Cream
On Sale 78% off
Another yummy vanilla scent,
this creamy hand lotion has hints of lavender and cedarwood, so not only are you nourishing your hands, but you’re indulging in some calming aromatherapy.
Body Sprays
Cereal Milk Soft Serve Fine Fragrance Mist
On Sale 75% off
There are a few bottles left of the Milk Bar x Bath & Body Works collab fragrances, so scoop one up before they’re all gone!
This fragrance mist smells like the iconic Cereal Milk soft serve (aka, vanilla and salty corn flakes).
Raspberry Holiday Pie Bar Fine Fragrance Mist (travel-size)
On Sale 82% off
This smells jammy and slightly nutty—just like a pan of
Milk Bar’s Raspberry Holiday Pie Bars straight from the oven. This spray is travel-size, which makes it perfect for travel and on-the-go. (I keep one of these in my car at all times for a quick pick-me-up.)
Candles
Eucalyptus Spearmint 3-Wick Candle
On Sale 50% off
A heavenly year-round candle you can light whenever you need a burst of calm, this
Eucalyptus Spearmint smell will make you feel like you just booked a spa appointment.
Winter 3-Wick Candle
On Sale 58% off
Winter has only just started, so this candle will be perfect to light and set the mood for cozy evenings spent inside with a book and some tea.
Winter (the candle, that is) smells like pine needles, clementine, and spiced clove. Mmmm.
Hand Soaps
Cucumber Melon Cleansing Gel Hand Soap
On Sale 50% off
The smell that brings every millennial back comes in hand wash form, and it’s 50 percent off.
Cucumber Melon is an evergreen fave, so stock up on a few bottles for the whole year.
Orange Ginger Gentle & Clean Foaming Hand Soap
On Sale 50% off
If you’re looking for something more winter-y (but not Christmas),
this Orange Ginger soap smells seasonal without going over the top. Fruity and spicy, this hand soap formula is also great for sensitive skin that needs more barrier protection.
Frozen Lake Gentle & Clean Foaming Hand Soap
On Sale 50% off
POV: You miss the smell of Christmas trees everywhere, but you need something more, well, evergreen.
Frozen Lake still has hints of juniper berries and cypress for that winter-y vibe. I love the eucalyptus notes that give this hand soap a spa-like feel.
Body Washes
Japanese Cherry Blossom Shea Butter Cleansing Bar
On Sale 78% off
Another throwback fragrance,
Japanese Cherry Blossom is one of my all-time favorites. It comes in a deeply nourishing cleansing bar, so you can smell like cherry blossoms, Asian pear, and sandalwood whenever you take a shower.
Cozy Vanilla Bourbon Body Wash
On Sale 73% off
This spiked vanilla-scented body wash will feel festive in the best ways possible. Soothing, warm, and sweet, this holiday fragrance deserves to live on your shower niche just a few more months longer.
