Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Bath & Body Works

L Brands currently owns Victoria's Secret and Henri Bendel in addition to Bath & Body Works. It has formerly owned companies like The Limited, Express, and Abercrombie & Fitch.

The company opened its first store in Cambridge, MA. However, headquarters is located in Columbus, OH.

Bath & Body Works actually started as a beauty line within Express stores. However, because the two companies are so different, employees at L Brands decided to create "Kate," an imaginary brand founder who embodies everything Bath & Body Works stands for. Each store location is supposed to feel like it could be Kate's home — cozy, welcoming, and well-fragranced.

According to the brand, this is the bestselling scent in the United States! More than 30 million iterations of the fragrance are sold each year. With notes of Fuji apple, mimosa petals, and vanilla rice, Japanese Cherry Blossom launched in 2006.

Bath & Body Works keeps in mind shoppers who love to sample: each store has a sink, where you can lather up with your favorite scent. This allows you to see if you enjoy the way the fragrance wears on your skin.

Bath & Body Works has a special section of its website that acts as a scent library. Though not all of the company's fragrances are listed here, some hard-to-find products can be found through this link until they've sold out.

This body splash allows you to spritz your favorite fragrance all over without suffocating your skin in scent. It also contains aloe to hydrate your hide.

This coveted fragrance hit the market in 2000 and has been a cult favorite since then!

In addition to finding the products online, there are 1,600 stores in the United States and Canada, while 80 more stores operate abroad.

Going on vacation? Chances are, you'll be able to purchase your favorite soap abroad, too. There are stores in Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Australia, and more countries around the globe!

Approximately once a month, Bath & Body Works releases a new fragrance collection including candles, hand sanitizers, and body care items. By the end of each year, the brand releases about 200 different scents.

Bath & Body Works fan and blogger Cia Arielle told Racked editors that "their launches are always on Mondays, unless they change something with corporate."

Many of Bath & Body Works's fragrances are only available during certain times of year. Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin is a favorite in Fall, while Vanilla Bean Noel dominates shelves in Winter.

According to the company, about 740,000 women visit Bath & Body Works stores every single day.

Body wash, lotion, and fragrance mist are all available in small, packable sizes, but we're especially partial to the mini candles — each one is under $5 and burns for more than 10 hours.
