“With this brand-new collection, Bath & Body Works is celebrating iconic Disney Villains—The Evil Queen and Maleficent—through spellbinding fragrances. Inspired by Disney’s enchanting storytelling, these scents create an immersive experience that whisks your senses away to a world of dark magic and mystery,” Bath & Body Works said in a statement shared with Best Life.
With spooky season right around the corner, this Disney Villain edit is the perfect kick-off for fall.
As for the fragrances themselves, The Evil Queen has notes of Dark Red Apple, Wicked Pear, and Vanilla Suede for a scent that’s “fresh, warm, and undeniably addictive.”
“Dark Red Apple evokes the sweetness of forbidden orchards, while Vanilla Suede wraps you in soft, velvety warmth, like slipping into a dreamy, enchanted cocoon,” says the brand. “Wicked Pear adds a juicy, crisp layer that cools the senses and leaves behind a refreshing, whisper-like trail.”
In an unboxing video, TikToker @emilyyyrosess dubbed The Evil Queen her “most anticipated Bath & Body Works scent” of the collection.
“This smells delicious. With the apple and vanilla notes, this is going to be the most perfect fall scent,” she told followers, adding that it “smells heavenly.”
According to TikToker @plsmells, The Evil Queen is “pretty similar to Candy Apple Cauldron and a little bit of Champagne Apple & Honey in its freshness.”
Meanwhile, Maleficent’s fragrance profile has “rich” berry undertones (Sinister Plum and Midnight Berries) with a hint of cedarwood (Mystical Woods) to reflect “her dark elegance,” he says.
“Sinister Plum layers deep plum nectar and skin with a hint of dark rose, creating a complex, alluring base. Midnight Berries introduce a bewitching twist—black tea notes swirled into a vibrant medley of blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry. Finally, Mystical Woods brings it all together with shimmering cedarwood and creamy cashmere musk, leaving a sultry, unforgettable impression,” says Bath & Body Works.
Thinking back on previous Bath & Body Works’ Halloween-inspired scents, TikToker @plsmells called it “the baby of Dark Kiss and Moonlight Graveyard.”
“There’s something almost cold and foggy about that woods note, which is really interesting and makes it very spooky, very Maleficent. But there is a syrupy berry that makes it wearable,” he added.
