The Bath & Body Works Perfume Dupes Worth Knowing
17
items Affordable Bath & Body Works fragrances that channel iconic designer and celebrity perfumes. From surprisingly convincing dupes to scents with unmistakably similar DNA, these are the ones worth trying before dropping $$$ on the original.
Parfums de Marly Delina
A sweet, tart, luxurious rose with juicy red berries and a warm amber base. This is one of BBW's most convincing designer dupes, the rose/berry combination is remarkably close to Delina.
Covered In Roses
Givenchy Irresistible
Powdery violet meets juicy pear, clean musk and soft woods. The pear + ambrette + orris/iris + musk structure makes this shockingly similar to Irresistible.
Very Violet
MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 / Ariana Grande Cloud
Airy, sparkling amber woods with a sweet, musky cloud around the skin. Not an exact clone, but unmistakably in the BR540/Cloud family.
In the Stars
Valentino Donna Born in Roma
Sweet jasmine, creamy vanilla, cashmere and praline give this the same sexy, modern, feminine energy as Born in Roma. Pink Obsessed is softer and sweeter, but if you love Valentino's signature vanilla-jasmine combination...
Pink Obsessed
Phlur Strawberry Letter
A perfumey strawberry rather than a bakery strawberry. Sweet, juicy and slightly musky with a grown-up finish. Think strawberry skin rather than strawberry cake, making it a gorgeous alternative to Phlur Strawberry Letter.
Strawberry Flirt
Burberry Her / Her Elixir
Juicy dark berries, jasmine and creamy woods create that unmistakable sweet, plush Burberry Her effect. It's fruity, feminine and slightly decadent without becoming syrupy.
All Eyes On Her
Marc Jacobs Perfect
Fresh, fruity and airy with a soft floral/cashmere finish. This is the “pretty, clean, effortless” side of designer fragrance rather than a heavy perfume and a surprisingly good interpretation of Marc Jacobs Perfect.
Imperfect Beauty
NEST New York Balinese Coconut
Creamy coconut milk, tropical florals and soft vanilla woods. It's a polished, sophisticated coconut, not straight-up sunscreen, and a lovely budget alternative to NEST's tropical coconut profile.
Eau De Coconut
Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy
Sugared pink pepper, warm neroli and fluffy marshmallow create a sweet, creamy floral gourmand. Kilian is richer and more complex, but this absolutely captures that fluffy orange-blossom-and-marshmallow fantasy.
Love Unleashed
Dior J'adore
Pear, delicate rose and soft cedar musk create an elegant, polished floral. It's the kind of scent that feels instantly put-together—very much in J'adore territory without trying to be a carbon copy.
Always Fleur
Versace Bright Crystal / Victoria's Secret Bombshell-ish territory
A sweet fruity-floral with a soft musky finish. It's bright, feminine and nostalgic, landing somewhere between the sparkling freshness of Bright Crystal and the fruity-floral sexines...
Sweetest Song
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia
Creamy pear blossom and lush gardenia with soft woods create a feminine white-floral that is remarkably Gucci-like. Think clean, pretty, polished and slightly creamy rather than heavy or powdery.
Dressed In White
YSL Black Opium
Dark berries, rose, jasmine, vanilla, patchouli, mocha musk and amber make Into the Night a seductive nighttime fragrance. Black Opium is more coffee-and-vanilla focused, while Into the Night is fruitier and darker-floral.
Into the Night
Ariana Grande Ari
Sparkling champagne, bright fruit, peony and creamy almond create a bubbly, sweet, feminine fragrance. It's not an Ari dupe, but it occupies that same sparkly celebrity-perfume territory.
A Thousand Wishes
Lancôme Idôle
Strawberry nectar, rose and soft woods make You're The One a fruity, polished rose fragrance. If you like the clean, modern rose-and-fruit profile of Idôle, this is worth trying.
You're The One
Bobbi Brown Beach
Warm, salty, creamy and sunscreen-y in the best possible way. It's less a dupe than a shared vacation fantasy, if you want to smell like warm skin, ocean air and expensive sunscreen, start here.
At the Beach
DedCool Milk
Soft, creamy, skin-like musk with a clean milky quality. If you love DedCool Milk's “my skin but inexplicably delicious” aesthetic, BBW's Milk belongs on your sniff list.
Milk
