 Bath & Body Works (BBWI) has dropped another round of their Everyday Luxuries collection, inspired by popular designer perfumes! I literally just finished covering their previous release in my blog post titled, Bath & Body Works Dupes for Designer Perfumes | Everyday Luxuries, and now they have given us MORE. I truly feel that they are helping all the girlies and women smell good while saving a bunch of money in the process. Building a perfume collection can be very expensive. My most expensive perfume, Baccarat Rouge, retails for $335 before tax. They had that dupe in this collection’s previous release and it has been a game changer for me. I’ve been spraying it while around the house and have been saving the designer scent for when I’m out and about town. BBWI has made it so you can build your entire collection for the price of one bottle of designer perfume and I love that for us!  When I started this blog, I intended to have a focus on affordability. I would see a lot of folks online solely sharing products that were very expensive. It just didn’t seem relatable or realistic. As time has progressed, I have found it in my budget to add in more expensive items. However, I never want to lose sight of balance. I love bringing my audience variety! Let’s get into the four body mists that I tried from Bath & Body Works that are perfect for spring! I vlogged the experience, which you can see in the video below. I started my excursion at Sephora because they close early, then headed over to Bath and Body Works. The complete vlog video doesn’t have side-by-side comparisons like I’ve written in this post, although I did breakdown the clips for my YouTube. I’ve included the side-by-side review videos below in case you're looking for a specific scent's review done that way. HOWEVER, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel so that you don’t miss my content! Pistachio Glaze | Inspiration: Pistachio Gelato by KayaliI was skeptical about trying this dupe vs. designer scent because it contained pistachio notes. When I think of nuts, I don’t think of it as a fragrance, I think of it as a food. I know many perfumes contain hints of almond, but prior to this I’d never seen them contain pistachios. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Pistachio Gelato by Kayali. It smelled like something that I would actually purchase as it was felt light, sweet, and creamy. Adversely, when I smelled Pistachio Gelato by Bath and Body Works, I immediately thought of Jergen’s Cherry Almond Lotion as it was one of my favorite childhood lotions. On the dry down, it began to smell more similar to the designer, yet it still felt like its own scent. One that still smelled great! 
Strawberry Flirt | Inspiration: Strawberry Letter by PhlurIf you have been following So MoTiFFated for a while, you’d know that my favorite scents are warm and woodsy. I typically shy away from full on fruity scents, but for you I gave these a try! I tried Strawberry Letter first and it was definitely full of strawberries. Its addition of cassis leaf added some depth. I previously had a Raspberry Cassis Reed Diffuser from Archipelago that I loved, so the cassis note in Strawberry Letter stood out to me instantly. The apple blossom note was vague, but present. If you love strawberries and designer perfumes then this is a great option for you! Strawberry Flirt by Bath and Body Works mirrored Phlur’s version very closely! Whoever engineered that scent did an incredible job. If I didn’t see the bottles prior to them being sprayed, I would not be able to tell them apart. Since their notes vary more than others in this Everyday Luxuries collection, but smelt the most similar, I believe this speaks to the level of dedication by BBWI to produce a great product. 
All Eyes On Her | Inspiration: Burberry HER ElixirI love a good Burberry scent! One of my favorite perfumes growing up was Burberry Classic. As I mentioned, I love a warm and woodsy scent and that one gave me all that I needed! Its notes are full of peach, apricot, sandalwood, amber, cedarwood, and musk. I never tried Burberry Her Elixir or Burberry Her prior to this blog and vlog, but I’m glad that I gave it a try. Burberry Her Elixir is a warm floral that includes sandalwood. Its hints of vanilla and amber made it smell beautiful. It’s definitely a scent that I would purchase on my own. However, once I tried All Eyes On Her at BBWI, I realized that the dupe will work great for me. It was similar to the designer version and its sandalwood note was still prominent. I’ll be saving my coins! I haven’t seen many people say that the dupe is similar to Burberry Her, which is a fruity floral, but I compared it just in case. This one is a nice scent; however, it smelled bright and fruity and lacked the warmth that is in All Eyes On Her. Burberry Her Elixir | Bonus Comparison: Burberry Her  Burberry Her Elixir

Imperfect Beauty | Inspiration: Perfect by Marc JacobsSurprisingly, I haven’t really tried many perfumes by Marc Jacobs. So, I was excited to give this dupe/designer combo a try. Perfect by Marc Jacobs is a scent that includes a nut note but doesn’t smell nutty. The cashmeran and daffodil notes provide warmth and freshness that make it a beautiful scent for spring. Imperfect Beauty did smell very similar! I liked that BBWI nailed it without including a nut in the notes. So many people have allergies, and you never know what can trigger someone in that regard, so its addition of white florals paired with sweet rhubarb makes for an awesome match.
