Bath & Body Works A Thousand Christmas Wishes

The Bottle

A Thousand Christmas Wishes comes in a tall, narrow cylindrical bottle with rounded shoulders and a flat base, a familiar body-mist shape rather than an arresting one. Its deep burgundy-to-purple appearance darkens below, while triangular facets add movement in burgundy and purple tones. The dark label, gold-toned-looking spray assembly and pale transparent-looking cap finish a conventional object that is tidy, but not memorable.

Original or Clone

A Thousand Christmas Wishes has some standing, but the case for buying the original is modest on the evidence available. One house has tried to reproduce its woody, aldehydic and sweet character, making the release a reference rather than an obscure target. We also find a single controlled formulation easier to identify than interpretations that can differ between vendors, change between batches and disappear from sale without notice. With no evidence about resemblance or wear, an interpretation remains a reasonable choice; the original's case rests on reference status, not a measured advantage.
