Launched on September 3, 2025, this line was perfectly timed for the Halloween season and focused on capturing the complex, powerful, and often glamorous darkness of two iconic villains. These fragrances are richer, deeper, and more dramatic than their princess counterparts, making them instant collector's items for a different kind of fan.
7. Evil Queen: Dark Red Apple, Vanilla Suede, and Wicked Pear
The scent inspired by the Evil Queen from *Snow White* is a sinister twist on a classic fruity fragrance. It immediately centers on the iconic poisoned fruit with a note of Dark Red Apple, giving a crisp, slightly ominous sweetness.

The opening note of Sinister Plum is deep and dark, providing a heavy, fruity foundation. This is blended with Midnight Berries, adding a tart, slightly sweet complexity.

Why the 2025 Disney Collaborations Are Must-Haves
The 2025 Bath & Body Works Disney collections have cemented the partnership as one of the brand's most successful and collectible ventures. The key difference this year is the sheer depth of the product lines and the narrative focus of the fragrances. Unlike previous, more general Disney-themed releases, these collections offer a deep dive into character lore, appealing directly to the nostalgia and collecting habits of Disney adults and fragrance enthusiasts alike.
The dual release strategy—the bright optimism of the Princesses in the Spring and the dark glamour of the Villains in the Fall—created year-round excitement and topical authority. For collectors, the limited-edition packaging, which features intricate artwork and character-specific designs on Fine Fragrance Mist bottles and candle lids, makes every item a valuable keepsake. The use of highly specific scent entities like sparkling buttercup, shimmering bayou woods, and sinister plum ensures that these are not just novelty items, but genuinely unique and high-quality fragrances that stand out in the Bath & Body Works catalog.
If you missed the initial launches, the secondary market is currently seeing high demand for the most popular items, particularly the Evil Queen 3-Wick Candle and the Tiana Fine Fragrance Mist. Savvy shoppers should keep an eye on official Bath & Body Works channels for any potential restocks or future collaborations, as the brand continues to capitalize on the enduring magic of the Disney universe through the power of scent.
