Bath Junkie

First off, Bath Junkie is a franchise chain. That’s that.
Second, review:
Someday, some friend will buy you a few bath products to be filled at Bath Junkie. When that time comes, take note, becuase what you have is either a very wealthy or very generous friend, or both.
Bath Junkie does what Bath and Body shop tried to do years ago but they devote a whole store to it. You walk in, make your own custom scent from any combination of oh, about 300 tea, floral, fruit, herbs, spice scents… you get the picture… and then add that to some products, perhaps a scrub or a body wash, or even a perfume. Its a great concept, nothing new but executed beautifully… and at a ridiculous price tag.
The smallest products are 2 oz bottles of body wash for oh, around $ 10. It just gets crazier from there. A container of scrub? $ 30. Shampoo? Try $ 25. Most body washes are between $ 20 and $ 25, and thats for the size you get at Bath and Body works at their semi annual sales for $ 3 a pop.
That being said, I loved making my own custom scent. So much so, that against my better judgement, I went back to refill my scrub in my custom, Bath Junkie scrub container. And then the last straw came: these branded, custom containers that they make? Non-​refillable. AND non-​recycleable.
Now that doesn’t smell so sweet to me.

This little place was such an amazing gem to find nestled into the corner of the mall. Hidden downstairs, just near Macy’s, you can smell it drawing you in. And when I say that you can smell it, I mean that even I can smell it. And I can’t smell skunk on the highway.
Now that’s in no way a bad thing. This place had mix your own scents for bath and massage oil and salts and such. You even get to pick the color. While that may seem like a specialty thing, ok it is, but you might like it if you try!
Here’s the real kicker. We must have sniffed through 3 dozen fragrances and each one smelled just like they claimed to, according to my husband, who Can smell. Are these run on sentences? I can’t help it. Even I was able to distinguish each smell as unique!
We made our own combination: spearmint, peppermint, and eucalyptus in a soft willow green. Frankly I’m just amazed. Even my husband was impressed. Go have a sniff. They even cater mixing parties and sell rubber duckies.
I haven’t had my bath yet, I was so excited about getting the word out. So, more to come later. This is at least a field trip place if not a regular stop. And they even save your mixes, just in case you want to come back for your «usual» blend.
