Okay, listen up, fragrance fanatics! Let’s be real, sometimes you just *can’t* drop a hundred bucks on a fancy perfume. Rent’s expensive, avocado toast is calling, and let’s face it, Bath & Body Works has some seriously underrated gems lurking amongst the glittery lotions and pumpkin spice everything.
I’ve been doing some digging (a *lot* of sniffing, actually, my nose is probably permanently scented now) and the word on the street (and from my fellow online fragrance obsessives) is that B&BW is a goldmine for designer perfume dupes. I mean, who knew, right?
So, ditch the snobbery and let’s dive in. I’ve seen whispers, rumblings, and outright declarations that certain B&BW scents are eerily similar to some seriously high-end stuff. We’re talking Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, maybe even a cheeky Taylor Swift “Wonderstruck” dupe! I’m not promising an exact match, but hey, for the price of a latte and a pastry (and you *know* you’re getting both), you can smell pretty darn close.
Now, I gotta be honest, I haven’t personally sniffed *every single* comparison out there. But I’ve heard some compelling arguments. Like, apparently, there’s a B&BW fragrance that’s giving major “Glossier You” vibes. Which, if you’re a millennial with a soft spot for minimalist chic, you know is a *big deal*. And some people are saying In The Stars (which, let’s be honest, is already a pretty popular scent) is echoing something a little more…luxe. Maybe it’s a reach, maybe it’s not, but it’s definitely worth investigating!
And hey, don’t even get me started on the discontinued scents! B&BW is notorious for yanking our favorite fragrances right out from under us. But the internet is a beautiful (and sometimes terrifying) place, and there are whispers of indie companies recreating those long-lost loves. So if you’re mourning the loss of, like, Juniper Breeze or something equally iconic, don’t despair! Someone, somewhere, is probably trying to bring it back.
Oh! And I almost forgot! The guys aren’t left out of this dupe game either! I saw something about “Marble” being a potential dupe for a more expensive men’s fragrance. Gotta admit, my knowledge of men’s cologne is a little lacking, but it’s worth a sniff if you’re looking to smell good without emptying your wallet.
