Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon Scent Is Back

Remember the standard middle-school beauty routine? Wash with Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon shower gel, slather yourself in Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon body lotion, finish it off with a half-dozen liberal sprays of Bath & Body Works Cucumber Melon body mist, and walk into school, scent game eye-wateringly strong. Long after Bath & Body Works discontinued that scent, the memory of its glory still stings the nostrils.

Well, we no longer have to pine for those lotion-drenched days or (for those who can’t let it go) search for rare back-stock on eBay. This summer, Bath & Body Works is bringing back six beloved scents from the ‘90s: Country Apple, Juniper Breeze, Pearberry, Plumeria, White Tea and Ginger, and, of course, Cucumber Melon.

Perhaps this time we’ll have learned to apply a bit more sparingly.
