Bath & Body Works Debuts New Disney Villains-Inspired Fragrance Collection
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Building on the resounding success of this year's Disney Princess Collection, Bath & Body Works debuts another exciting new Disney-inspired fragrance collection for customers. Driven by strong consumer demand and overwhelming enthusiasm from fans of both brands, this next chapter delivers the same excitement but with a villainous twist. Introducing The Disney Villains Collection by Bath & Body Works —a spellbinding fragrance collection that captures the essence of two iconic Disney Villains, The Evil Queen and Maleficent. Inspired by Disney's renowned storytelling and expertly crafted by Bath & Body Works perfumers, each scent immerses fans in a realm where mystery and mischief unfold in every note. More than just a product, this collaboration creates powerful experiences that evoke emotion and spark imagination. For the first time, this collection launches simultaneously in both domestic and international Bath & Body Works stores, making it easier than ever for Disney fans across the globe to explore their favorite Disney characters through fragrance. The collection will be available to shop for Bath & Body Works loyalty members August 26 and 27, and for all customers on September 3. Rooted in the success of their joint efforts, Bath & Body Works and Disney are deepening their relationship to craft even more culturally resonant moments that spark meaningful consumer engagement. A longer-term relationship will unlock more iconic Disney characters for Bath & Body Works, while creating powerful opportunities to captivate international audiences through a broader slate of global product launches. Together, they'll deliver even more experiences to fans through fragrance —where scent becomes a powerful storytelling tool. 'The customer demand and excitement we saw with Disney Princess showed us that our formula is working and now we're taking it global,' said Daniel Heaf, Bath & Body Works CEO. 'As we continue building momentum through powerful brand collaborations like Disney, we remain focused on creating even more meaningful ways to engage consumers and position Bath & Body Works at the forefront of culture, innovation and storytelling.' 'Our first collection with Bath & Body Works allowed Disney Princess fans of all ages to connect with their favorite characters in new and distinctive ways,' said Liz Shortreed, Senior Vice President of the Americas and Global Softlines at Disney Consumer Products. 'We look forward to building on that success and enthusiasm with the new Disney Villains collection, as we continue to create products that celebrate creativity and sensory-driven storytelling through everyday experiences.' ABOUT THE FRAGRANCES Two new fragrances inspired by the iconic Disney Villains characters, Maleficent and the Evil Queen, take center stage in this collection. The 39-product assortment features an array of products including fine fragrance mist, body wash and cream, lip gloss, candles, hand soap and sanitizer and decorative accessories that highlight key moments from each Disney character's story, with prices ranging from $1.95-$79.95. Evil Queen--Dark Red Apple, Vanilla Suede, Wicked PearThe Evil Queen-inspired fragrance is a bold olfactory tribute to this striking Disney character—each note carefully chosen to reflect her dark allure and commanding presence. The crisp bite of deep red apple nods to her infamous poisoned fruit, while wicked pear adds a juicy twist of temptation. Vanilla suede brings a smooth, seductive warmth that mirrors her regal elegance, and the heart of caramel-spun sugar and glittering woods evokes the opulence and mystery of her enchanted realm which will leave you wanting more. Maleficent—Sinister Plum, Midnight Berries, Mystical WoodsThe Maleficent-inspired fragrance conjures an aura of mystery with intoxicating notes of sinister plum, midnight berries and mystical woods—each element a reflection of her dark elegance. The rich plum evokes her tempting and powerful energy, while midnight berries hint at her forbidden charm—deceptively sweet yet shadowed by intrigue. Mystical woods ground the fragrance in the enchanted forest she calls home. Bath & Body Works will launch the Disney Villains-inspired collection in stores and online on September 3, 2025. Bath & Body Works will give members of its rewards program early access to shop the collection online at and in the Bath & Body Works app on August 26 and 27. See collection images here.

Gemma Collins' plans for 'mystical' wedding on hold again as she makes blunt admission
EXCLUSIVE: Gemma Collins' plan for 'mystical' wedding to her fiancé Rami Hawash are on hold as she makes blunt admission - and spills the beans on her life as a stepmum She's the reality TV star who doesn't hold back, and now Gemma Collins has spilled all on her future wedding plans (involving a certain pair of Irish twins), her weight loss journey and a summer spent on stepmum duties. A proud oversharer, the TOWIE icon is in the midst of preparing for her big day, but things aren't quite following the schedule. So much so, Gemma admitted to us she is even considering leaving it all to the last minute. Her excitement at walking down the aisle hasn't dwindled four years since her second engagement to fiancé Rami Hawash, who she met in 2011. As she opens up on her rather unusual wedding theme, the Mirror sits down with 44-year-old Gemma to find out more… It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. Hi, Gemma! You recently tricked fans by saying you'll marry on ice in a nod to your iconic time on Dancing On Ice. How did that go down? People loved it. I've always been an oversharer. I love to spill the coffee. I just think everyone's just not been saying much and keeping it in. We all need to overshare more. Everyone's so reserved. So everyone loved it. It was like they were getting the scoop. And it's gonna be so much fun when people finally realise that I'm not getting married on ice. How are those wedding plans going? It's going really well but, if I'm honest, I haven't actually done anything about it yet because I've had just the craziest of times recently. It's been nonstop. But I'm sure Jedward are gonna get up and sing. I've not decided where it's gonna be. I mean, after Jeff Bezos' wedding, I've sure as hell got to try and top that one, haven't I? I had my friend DJ Fat Tony's wedding this year and that was just so beautiful, it was just so right. They obviously put a lot of planning into it, but their day was beautiful. I am very last minute so, knowing me, I'll probably decide two weeks before. So will it be next year? Absolutely it will be 2026. I spoke to my astrologer and that is the year to get married. Are there any unusual plans you would actually include in your big day? 'I'd like it very mythical, actually. I'd like fairies. I'm obsessed with Maleficent , you know the movie? So I'd like a woodland setting, I think. Very like boho but magical. You've said that Jedward could have a special role – is that still on the table? Absolutely. They will be singing. They'll definitely have a major role in the big day. They could be mythical creatures. I love them to death, the boys. What have you enjoyed most about wedding planning so far? That's the thing, I haven't pulled my finger out and done one bloody single thing. So I'm literally at the very, very beginning. All I know is I want it mythical with mythical creatures. Have you got your guest list sorted? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You have been open about your weight loss journey. How is everything going? There was a spanner in the works, because I got pneumonia, so it slowed down a bit. I'm just constantly on that vibe of positivity and loving yourself, and just taking it slow, really. There's no rush there. You've said your weight loss has been life-changing – in what ways? I think it's just really lovely to walk into a shop and to be able to buy outfits and they fit. I have gone from a size 26 back to a 20. I make sure I can enjoy my summer. We all relax a bit more in the summer but then – boom – straight back on it again. How have you been since your bout of pneumonia? It was terrible, but I've just suddenly, in the last couple of weeks, been back to normal. But it really takes it out of you. I'm fine now, so I can get about a bit more, and I've been walking a lot more. Everything's on the up now, honey. Can we expect you back on our screens any time soon? Do you know what? Watch this space. So can you tell us what you've been up to over the summer months? I've been a busy stepmum because, obviously, I've got Tristan now [fiancé Rami's seven-year-old son]. I don't share him too much on socials, because I respect his privacy but we've had him, so that's been lovely. We've been just doing normal, kiddy-friendly things. I spent more time in Jump Street [children's trampoline park] than I've had hot dinners. I've been on the PlayStation – you name it, I've been doing it: parks, doggy walks. I wish I could say to you, I'm sat in Mykonos drinking a Piña Colada, but I'm not. I have been busy doing stepmother duties but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've loved it.
