New Bath & Body Works Dupes for Designer Fragrances | Everyday Luxuries

BY TIFFANY JOHNSON

Smelling good and saving money are two of my favorite things! Bath & Body Work (BBWI) recently released a new round of their Everyday Luxuries collection, described as “inspired by trending luxury fragrances.” I purchased seven of them and they all smell REALLY close to the main fragrances! When creating dupes, I think brands have to differentiate fragrances notes for legal reasons, so you’ll typically always see it phrased as inspiration rather than a duplicate.

Out of the nine body mists shown above, I only purchased seven. Their Midnight Addiction scent is supposed to be close to Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, and their Madam Mystique is said to be similar to Mon Paris by Yves Saint Laurent. I did not do the comparison for those two, because they aren’t my preferred scents. So, I’ll leave that to you to compare!

I got great deals on the Bath & Body Works body mists in the travel size and full size. I bought the travel sizes for $3 and the full sizes for $5.95. Considering the latter is normally $18.95, I did well! Not to worry. BBWI runs sales all the time! So, another one is bound to appear that will suit your budget and save you funds. 

Now, let’s get into the scents that I did compare! All the clipped perfume and body mist bottles shown above are photos that I took myself. The full images are shown below. I had so much fun going to Nordstrom, Sephora, and Ulta Beauty to compare the scents in person. It took about a week’s time, included two different outfits and makeup looks, but it was so worth the journey! 

Editor’s Note: Covered in Roses and Viva Vanilla were a part of the initial Bath & Body Works’ Everyday Luxuries release, which is why their names are written in black. The fragrances in the latest release have their names written in white. Those two must have been incredibly popular because they remained on store shelves.

​LOYAL TO YOU, Similar to DEVOTION BY DOLCE & GABBANA

Devotion by Dolce & Gabbana smells so dreamy! The sweet touches of citrus and vanilla reminds me of a warm pillow and a beautiful night's rest. Loyal To You did not disappoint and added the extra umph needed with their touch of vanilla marshmallow and sweet lemon.

YOU’RE CHEEKY, Similar to​ GOOD GIRL BLUSH BY CAROLINA HERRERA
​

I have loved Good Girl Blush by Carolina Herrera since 2023. It’s one of my favorite scents to wear around the house as it’s relaxing with a bit of a spicy kick. I noticed that I’ve been zooming through my bottle, so I was overly excited to know BBWI came out with a dupe for this scent. You’re Cheeky smells really similar, but not as spicy which can make it more relaxing.

​You’re Cheeky by Bath & Body Works

• Key Notes: Pink Peppercorn, Warm Almond Flower, Vanilla Bean
• Fragrance Family: Botanicals & Blooms

Good Girl Blush by Carolina Herrera

• Key Notes: Bergamot Mandarin, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla Absolute Tonka Bean
• Fragrance Family: Floral

You're Cheeky $18.95

Good Girl Blush $170

​COVERED IN ROSES, Similar to DELINA BY PARFUMS de MARLY

I’ve often heard of Delina by Parfums de Marly, but had never smelt it prior to doing the comparison to Bath & Body Works. I did smell Covered In Roses first, and it smelt very floral with a hint of spice! BBWI described it on their website as being within the Botanicals and Blooms scent family. If I had to list a difference, I’d say that Delina’s notes seem to incorporate more than floral as it’s described in the Woody Floral scent family.

Within my YouTube video above, you can hear the beauty clerk at Nordstrom saying the dupe/designer pair smelt really, really close!

Covered In Roses by Bath & Body Works

• Key Notes: Ruby Berries, Sugared Rosebuds, Blush Amber
• Fragrance Family: Botanicals & Blooms 

​Delina by Parfums de Marly

• Key Notes:

            Top: Rhubarb, Lychee, Bergamot Essence
            Middle: Turkish Rose, Peony, Vanilla
            Base: Cashmeran, Musk, Vetiver

• Fragrance Family: Woody Floral

Covered in Roses $18.95

Delina $390

​AQUA HOUR, Similar to​ ACQUA di GIOIA

This one is by far my favorite designer/dupe combination out of the collection, mainly because it introduced me to a new scent! I never heard of Acqua di Gioia from Giorgio Armani, but after purchasing Aqua Hour, I knew it had to smell exquisite because of the beauty of the BBWI dupe. It smells very mature, in the best way, and like one you can wear when you’re in need of calm. I envision myself wearing this scent while cozied up on the couch, under a blanket, with a good book in hand. It definitely gives aromatherapy vibes!  

Aqua Hour by Bath & Body Works

• Key Notes: Watery Bergamot, Fresh Peony, Salty Cedarwood
• Fragrance Family: Botanicals & Blooms

Acqua di Gioia by Giorgio Armani

• Key Notes:

            Top: Primofiore Lemon
            Middle: Absolute Jasmine
            Base: Cedarwood & Musk

• Fragrance Family: Fresh Floral Woody

Aqua Hour $18.95

Acqua di Gioia $130

SEEING ROUGE, Similar to​ BACCARAT ROUGE 540 BY MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN

This one is a game changer! A few months ago, I repurchased a bottle of Baccarat Rouge 540 and it was definitely hard to see that much money be spent on perfume . . . again. Yet, it’s one of my favorites. I was first introduced to the scent while when leaving nighttime class while in my MBA program at UNC Charlotte. A classmate of mine passed me on the stairs and was wearing this perfume. She said it was her signature scent, and I purchased it soon after during a sale at Bloomingdale’s. Seeing Rouge smells close enough to the real thing for me!

GUILTY AS FIG, Similar to​ FATHER FIGURE BY PHLUR

I love a good fig scent! Guilty as Fig introduced me to Father Figure, an apparent crowd favorite. Its tester was almost empty when I went to Sephora to smell it for the first time. While they do smell similar, I believe Guilty as Fig is a bit softer. It’s BBWI notes seem to be more similar than the other dupes, which is a great thing!

Guilty As Fig by Bath & Body Works

• Key Notes: Fig Nectar, Lush Jasmine, Creamy Musk
• Fragrance Family: Fresh & Clean

Father Figure by Phlur

            Top: Waterlily, Lush Fig, Cassis Buds

VIVA VANILLA (1 of 3), Similar to​ KAYALI VANILLA 28

So many people have said that Viva Vanilla is the perfect dupe for Kayali’s Vanilla 28! I thought the same thing until a BBWI clerk shared another option, listed next on the comparison list. However, this one is a runner up in my book. The glowing amber and addictive vanilla notes in BBWI’s seem to be in line with Kayali’s vanilla orchids and amber woods. A few folks in the store smelled the comparison’s along with me and thought it was a close match too!

Viva Vanilla by Bath & Body Works

• Key Notes: Rich Plum, Glowing Amber, Addictive Vanilla
• Fragrance Family: Warm & Woodsy

Vanilla 28 by Kayali

• Key Notes: Vanilla Orchids, Tonka Absolute, Amber Woods, Musk, Brown Sugar
• Fragrance Family: Warm & Spicy

Viva Vanilla $18.95

Vanilla 28 $130

VIVA VANILLA (2 of 3), Similar to​ VANILLA VICE BY SNIF

Wow! This designer/dupe pair was very close. Out of the ones that I tested for Viva Vanilla, Vanilla Vice is by far my favorite! I’m glad the BBWI clerk let me know of this scent. It’s listed second because I’ve listed my comparisons in the order they were displayed in my YouTube video to make it easier for folks to follow along. Viva Vanilla works great as the less expensive option that feels expensive. It’s a great date night option!
​
Viva Vanilla by Bath & Body Works

• Key Notes: Rich Plum, Glowing Amber, Addictive Vanilla
• Fragrance Family: Warm & Woodsy

​
​Vanilla Vice by Snif

• Key Notes: Ice Cream, Madagascar Vanilla, Jasmine Sambac, Amberwood, Musk, Orcanox
• Fragrance Family: Woody Amber Vanilla

Viva Vanilla $18.95

Vanilla Vice $65

VIVA VANILLA (3 of 3), Similar to​ EILISH BY BILLIE EILISH

This designer/dupe comparison ranked lasted because I don’t think they smell similar. I think they are both in their own lanes. Although Eilish is known to be within the Amber Gourmand fragrance family, it does not specially include an amber note unlike Kayali’s Vanilla 28 and Snif’s Vanilla Vice. If you’re expecting it to be an exact dupe, try to go in-store to Bath & Body Works so that you can decide for yourself rather than buying online without testing it first.

Eilish by Billie Eilish

• Key Notes:

            Top: Sugared Petals, Mandarin, Warm Berries
            Middle: Creamy Vanilla, Soft Spices, Cocoa
            Base: Sleek Woods, Warm Musks, Tonka Beans

• Fragrance Family: Amber Gourmand

Viva Vanilla by Bath & Body Works

• Key Notes: Rich Plum, Glowing Amber, Addictive Vanilla
• Fragrance Family: Warm & Woodsy

Viva Vanilla $18.95

Eilish $78
