So, here’s the deal. The whispers on the fragrant breeze (a.k.a. the internet) point to Bath & Body Works’ *Fairytale* as a contender. Apparently, it’s got that… *je ne sais quoi* that reminds people of Libre. Now, Fairytale itself is described as having vanilla, amber, orange blossom, and pomegranate. Kinda sounds like a fancy cocktail, right? And, according to some folks, that mix gives off a vibe similar to the “warm, floral scents” of Libre.
But here’s where it gets a little muddy. See, Libre is a bit more complex, a bit more… *grown up*. Fairytale is, well, Fairytale. It’s sweet, it’s pleasant, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a dead ringer. I mean, come on, it’s Bath & Body Works, not a high-end perfumery. Still, for the price point, it’s probably worth a sniff if you’re craving that Libre-ish feeling without breaking the bank.
Also, it’s funny because I’ve seen some people mention Lavender & Vanilla from B&BW as a Libre dupe and that kinda makes sense in a roundabout way?? I mean, Libre *does* have lavender, so maybe the combo is hitting the right notes for some people. Perfume is so subjective, honestly. What smells amazing on one person might smell like straight-up grandma on another. No offense to grandmas, of course. My own grandma smells fantastic.
