1. Bodycology Blue Denim
Light tropical fruits and velvety florals
Bodycology Blue Denim $6.01
Bath & Body Works Gingham $18.95
One of BBW’s newer scents, Gingham quickly became a fan-favorite! It is known for its fragrance notes of blue freesia, white peach, violet, and clean musk. But for a 70% price cut, you’ll quickly favor this Bodycology scent with ‘velvety’ florals that match BBWs!
“I’ve been using the body spray for a long while now and decided to try the lotion. Smell lasts long and I’m grateful it doesn’t dry out my skin. Better than Bath & Body Works IMO at half the price.”
2. Bodycology Strawberry Cheesecake
Blend of strawberry and rhubarb, rounded out by warm vanilla
Bodycology Strawberry Cheesecake $4.97
Bath & Body Works Strawberry Pound Cake Lotion regularly $17.95
If you want to smell mouth-wateringly sweet, this Bath & Body Works is a popular pick, so popular even, it might sell out before you can snag one, so reach for this Bodycology option instead! Both have top layers of sweet strawberry rounded out by warm vanilla or ‘golden shortcake’ as BBW describes it.
“Wish I discovered this before BBW’s version. It smells amazing and much better than the strawberry poundcake scent at BBW’s with fewer chemicals. Wish Bodycology had their scrub in stores. Would’ve also gotten that too! Gonna try the body wash next!”
3. Scent Theory Light Up the Sky
Fresh & floral w/ notes of jasmine and yuzu zest
Scent Theory Light Up the Sky Lotion $4.98 – in-store only!
Bath & Body Works Into the Night Lotion has an alluring ‘night on the town’ scent with key notes of velvety rose petals and mocha musk. Although this description might not be exactly the same as Scent Theory, you’ll find that the overall aroma is right on the nose and work it for that UNDER $5 price tag!
“I saw on reddit where someone said that this lotion scent is an alternative for BBW “Into the Night” and IT IS!! I just bought the body spray and the two together are amazing. This lotion is so affordable at Wal-Mart!! Scent Theory needs to start making body sprays ASAP!!!!!!”
4. Bodycology Hawaiian Beach
Top layers of coconut blended with floral notes
No matter what the weather, you can always smell like a day at the beach with Bath & Body Works At the Beach Lotion. It has notes of toasted coconut and frangipani blossoms, while the Bodycology version mimincs this scent with notes of coconut, fragrant peonies, and water lilies. Better yet, reviewers say that neither has that sunscreen smell! 😝
“I’ve bought and owned Bodycology perfume for years and I’ve always said if you want something that smells closely to Bath & Body Works down to the likeness and is less expensive then go with this onlinepany.”
5. eos Vanilla Cashmere
Fragrance notes of whipped vanilla, musk, and caramel
eos Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Lotion $8.98
Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Lotion regularly $15.95
When you want vanilla with a little extra somethin– somethin Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel has notes of fresh vanilla bean, warm caramel, sugar cookies, whipped cream, and snow-kissed musk. Huh 🤔 this sounds identical to the whipped vanilla, soft musk, and cozy caramel of eos!
But, not only is your wallet going to love this easy swap, so is your skin as eos is PETA-certified and made with 100% sustainably-sourced natural shea butter, and is gluten, paraben, and phthalate-free!
“Exact dupe of vanilla bean noel from Bath & Body Works. Delicious! And leaves you feeling silky smooth and NOT greasy at all.”
