Based on a review by Queen of the Girl Geeks (accessed 2026-08-29).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about beautiful and appealing packaging design — just accept body cream scent is light and not super strong, possibly requiring layering.
The reviewer is highly enthusiastic about the Bonfire Bash collection, declaring it her "desert island set," and finds the new Country Apple surprisingly improved with a more prominent apple note. While she praises Ivory Cashmere, she expresses a desire for a stronger scent throw from Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, similar to her preference for Vanilla Bean Noel.
This video presents an unboxing and initial review of new Bath & Body Works online exclusive body care products. The reviewer examines the packaging and provides first impressions of the scents, which include Bonfire Bash, Country Apple, Ivory Cashmere, and Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, with some comparisons to older product iterations.
Bonfire Bash is a standout fragrance, earning its place as a "desert island set" and one of the reviewer's all-time favorites due to its unique and delicious scent. The shower gel provides an amazing and strong scent experience, with a prominent vanilla bourbon note perfectly balanced by creamy sandalwood and cashmere musk. However, the body cream's scent is notably lighter and not as potent as hoped, suggesting it may require layering for a stronger fragrance impact. If you adore warm, gourmand scents with a rich vanilla bourbon character and appreciate beautiful packaging, this collection is an absolute must-have. If you prefer highly concentrated body creams that deliver intense scent on their own, the Bonfire Bash cream might not meet your expectations without additional layering.
