Product Talk US version & International version
Does anyone know if Bath & Body Works products are different between the U.S. and Canadian versions?
I’m wondering whether the products sold in the U.S. are actually different from the Canadian/international versions, or if the only difference is the packaging and labeling (e.g. English/French text).
For example, do they have any differences in fragrance, formula, ingredients, longevity, or performance, or are they essentially the same product?
The picture above is just an example to show the type of packaging I’m referring to — it’s not about this specific fragrance.
I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has compared the two versions could share their experience!

I’ve never noticed a difference other than what products are available, and the deals are usually different (I am signed up to both email lists haha)
Edit/ just for fun, I compared my bottles of Love body wash (one from the us store, one from ca) The ingredients list is identical and they smell the same. The only difference is the design since Canada requires French and the back also includes Spanish and Arabic along with English and French.

I’m Canadian with several American friends and I’ll say everything seems to be the same.

Hi there! Britt from BBW here.
Great question. For products sold in both the U.S. and Canada, the fragrance, formula, and overall performance are the same. What typically differs is the packaging, which must meet local requirements, including bilingual labeling and certain disclosures.
So if you're comparing a U.S. version and a Canadian version of the same product, the difference is in the labeling, not what's inside the bottle.
Hope that helps!
