  • From the warm, mysterious character of Jack Skellington to Sally’s bright and whimsical spirit, every detail immerses fans in a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience inspired by the film.


Some stories are impossible to separate from a feeling. For fans of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas that feeling arrives every fall, somewhere between the last hours of Halloween and the first hint of the holidays. Bath & Body Works' newest Disney collection brings that feeling to life through fragrance.

Bath & Body Works partners with world-class perfumers on every fragrance it makes, bringing together high-quality ingredients in body care and home fragrances that consumers will love. In this haunting new collection, the brand collaborated with DSM-Firmenich principal perfumers Ashley Balavoine and Gabriela Chelariu to create two new scents inspired by Halloween Town’s Jack Skellington and Sally.

Jack Skellington is a warm, woody fragrance that offers a touch of both wonder and darkness and features pumpkin screams, glowing palo santo and spooky spiced vanilla.

“My vision was to build the fragrance around three distinct signatures: spiced pumpkin, palo santo and vanilla,” said Balavoine. “The pumpkin accord, inspired by the Pumpkin King himself, delivers a rich, sweet-spiced character. Palo santo introduces an aromatic masculine freshness, subtly amplified by a touch of sage. The spiced vanilla provides smoothness and depth, resulting in a dark, modern gourmand refined for Halloween— unexpected and distinctive.”

Sally is a bright, fruity fragrance with a little mystery, designed to capture the feeling of moonlight caught in a bottle. It features notes of ghastly blooms, berry patchwork and forbidden tonka.

“I built this fragrance around three notes: soft florals, dark berries and warm tonka bean,” said Chelariu. “The florals were inspired by Sally’s own soft femininity with a hint of juicy peach. The berries represent her darkness while tonka brings warmth. The result is a dark floral with a rich fruit profile.”

Blending Disney’s magical storytelling with Bath & Body Works’ fragrance leadership, the collection invites fans to experience their favorite characters in a new and immersive way through scent.

Jack Skellington and Sally’s fragrances are available in ultimate hydration body cream, body wash, fine fragrance mist, 3-wick candle, a new dual-layered wax single wick candle, foaming hand soap and PocketBac hand sanitizer. The collection also includes exclusive accessories like PocketBac clips featuring other well-known characters like Zero and Oogie Boogie, along with a collectible tote, spooky candle pedestal and more.
