About Bath & Body Works
Bath & Body Works sells body care, hand soap and home fragrance almost entirely under its own name, refreshing its scent range several times a year. Its three-wick candles and seasonal collections drive most of its sales. The company relies on frequent promotions and limited-run scents to bring customers back, rather than on a stable year-round range.
