Over the years, I've purchased more than my fair share of Bath & Body Works products. I'm talking everything from holiday collections to seasonal smells and a few under-the-radar items I was so glad to have discovered. My recent obsession? The brand's new Book Loft scent that's just made for days you don't want to do anything but curl up with a good book (which, TBH, is how I most often prefer to spend my weekends).

Bath & Body Works

This scent, which is perfect for fall but would be great year-round, too, is a mix of crisp bergamot, neroli and cozy woods, and it really does give off a soft, woodsy vibe that makes me feel like I should be sitting next to a fire with a cup of hot apple cider in hand. Like a bunch of other Bath & Body Works shoppers, I simply had to snag it in a candle ($27), but I also can't get enough of the body wash ($15). In fact, the first time I used it, I found myself wondering what smelled so good later on, before I realized it was actually my skin from the lingering scent. (So obviously I've used it every night since.)

I'm far from the only one who's been loving the Book Loft line, too. One reviewer wrote of the fragrance mist ($17), "Picture this: A chilly and rainy autumn day, a good book and a cozy blanket fresh from the dryer! Soft and comfy. I love it!" Meanwhile a buyer who picked up the room spray ($9) said, "Book Loft is a wonderful, slightly woodsy and slightly floral smell that is the perfect fit for my 100-year-old house. It smells exactly the way I want my reading nook to smell. Please don’t ever discontinue it!"

I think it's safe to say that no matter which product you choose in this scent, you're sure to love it just as much as I (and other shoppers/bookworms) do, especially during those binge-reading evenings in. Just hurry to score yours, because I have a feeling it won't stay in stock long.
