Bookish Picks from Bath and Body Works

Fall Bookstore Wallflower and Projector

 What does a book loft smell like?

That's what I was wondering to myself, because I spotted this cutesy wallflower and projector in the Bath and Body Works USA site. I mean, how cute is that? 

It can be used with the wallflower room fragance with the same name, to complement a fall time reading experience. The twin pack retails at $15.50 for 2 -24ml bottles. 

Bookloft Wallflowers refill 2-pack 

Bath and Body Works says that it smells like cozying up with a book that you can't put down. To be more specific, its notes are crisp bergamot, neroli, and cozy woods. It's giving a warm and woodsy mood. 

It is made with natural essential oils, and lasts up to 30 days. It's effortless fragrance that welcomes you home. This would be perfect for any reading nook at home. I can imagine myself cozying up on a comfortable reading chair and enjoying the mood in one of those rainy days and just reading a cool adventure book or a novella. 

Dog with Book Car Fragrance Holder 

As an added bonus, I would love to have this cute Dog with Book Car Fragrance Holder for my new car. It can go well with this Endless Weekend scent that I spotted in the shop. BBW says it evokes a sweet, sun-soaked weekend you wish would never end. Its fragrance notes are fresh summer mandarin, sun-kissed magnolia, and blue coconut water. 

It's a great way to refresh any car and the scent can last from 4-6 weeks. It's perfect for a daily drive to work, long road trips, or anything in between. 

C and I have a road trip planned for next weekend. It would be great if this was plugged in the car. 

In the meantime, it's available in the Bath and Body Works USA site. The Philippines site has the wallflower fragrance but doesn't have the wallflower and car fragrance holder yet. Once it hits the local shop I hope I can be the first to purchase them.
