Students, teachers, parents—we’ve got all the back to school essentials you need to bring your fragrance A game this year.
Hand sanitizer
It should go without saying, but schools and germs go hand in hand. So you’ll definitely want to have our most popular, most refreshing germ-fighting gel at the ready. As essential as your no. 2 pencil, PocketBacs kill 99.9% of most common germs and meet CDC guidelines with 71% alcohol. They also come in tons of amazing fragrances so you can have clean hands and smell good. (Teachers, you’ll want to keep a few handy in your desk and bag, too.) SHOP
PRO TIP:
For major classroom envy, pair your PocketBac with a super-cute holder.
Hand cream
Typing papers. Playing sports. Scribbling notes. Your hands go through a lot at school. Give them a break with a moisturizing hand cream that fits right in your backpack (or locker). Made with shea butter and vitamin E, this everyday essential absorbs quickly to leave your hands feeling soft, smooth and nourished. SHOP
Wallflowers fragrance plugs
Heading off to college? Whether you’re packing for a dorm room or an apartment, you’re gonna want things that make it feel (and smell) like your own. And since many places don’t allow candles, Wallflowers air fresheners are a must. Not only do they fill the air with 24/7 fragrance, but they can really change the mood of a room—especially clutch for studying...or that pile of laundry you’ve got going on. SHOP
PRO TIP:
You have to check out our Wallflowers Scent Control Plugs—they have three different intensities, so they’re perfect for any size room.
Concentrated room sprays
Your friends just texted. They’ll be here in two minutes and your room is a mess. We’ve been there, done that and trust us, concentrated room sprays are going to be your new BFFs. And in just two quick bursts of fragrance, your dorm room will be guest-ready instantly. Plus, they come in all your favorite scents (including seasonal ones), so they’re worth stocking up on.SHOP
PRO TIP:
Pick some scents that remind you of home, and you’ll be smiling all the way through homesickness.
Shower caddy goodies
Speaking of dorm room essentials, you can’t forget about the basics like body wash. But what about the not-so-obvious ones? We’ve got two picks. The first: a body scrub that’ll bring some much-needed luxury to your shower routine. The second: a moisturizing body wash. Trust us: this two-in-one formula will come in handy when you’re in a pinch (a.k.a. oversleep).SHOP
PRO TIP:
Don’t lose the loofah! It’s the next best thing to a spa day.
Hand soap
What’s the one thing everyone forgets to bring—especially to the dorm room? Hand soaps! It’s something you’ll always need, so this time, we recommend picking your favorite suds and blends—from extra-bubbly foaming hand soaps to smooth, nourishing gentle gel. Added bonus: they come in so many amazing scents, you’ll want to try them all.SHOP
PRO TIP:
Pick a bottle that matches the color scheme of your sink. Everyone loves a cohesive counter.
3-wick candles
“I have too many candles.” – said no professor ever. If you’re a parent looking to thank an educator for going the extra mile, you can’t go wrong with the World’s Best 3-Wick (and maybe a hand soap or two). Since you might not know what kinds of fragrances they like, lighter ones—like a vanilla or a lemon—are always a safe bet. SHOP
PRO TIP:
Wanna really butter them up? Give them some inspo on how to repurpose the candle jar.
Gift cards
A.k.a. the easiest way to gift your teachers without playing the fragrance guessing game. With plenty of amazingly adorable designs (via e-gift cards or physical ones), they’ll be smiling from ear-to-ear and picking out their new signature scents in no time. SHOP
PRO TIP:
Add a tiny gift like a hand cream, mini fine fragrance mist or body lotion for an extra surprise.
Class is over.
