Bath &, Body Works releases a new fragrance every year that it hopes did pass test during the holiday season. It doesn’t have to taste like cookies. A lady walked up to a table piled with goods marked” Best in Pink” on a Thursday evening near Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan as travellers and the after-work crowd began to fill up the keep.

She grabbed a couple bottles of” Best in Pink” body lotion, stuffed a pale, bow-shaped cosmetic bag under her finger and headed to the checkout line.
