And if that’s the ingredient swap you’re looking for, keep reading to see our top choices that are cruelty-free and PETA-approved.
1. Bodycology Blue Denim
Light tropical fruit and velvety floral aromas
One of BBW’s new scents, Gingham, has quickly become a fan favorite. It is known for its aromatic notes of blue freesia, white peach, violet, and clean musk. But for 70% off, you’ll instantly fall in love with this Bodycology scent, a “velvety” floral that’s perfect for chubby women.
“After using body sprays for a long time, I decided to try the lotion. I love that it has a long-lasting scent and doesn’t dry out my skin. It’s better than Bath & Body Works IMO for half the price. ”
2. Bodycology Strawberry Cheesecake
A blend of strawberry and rhubarb with warm vanilla accents
If you’re looking for a mouth-wateringly sweet scent, choose this Bodycology option instead, as this Bath & Body Works scent is popular and might sell out before you can get your hands on it. Both have a sweet strawberry top layer and are finished with warm vanilla, or as BBW describes it, “golden shortcake.”
“I wish I had discovered this before BBW’s version. It’s an amazing scent, much better than BBW’s Strawberry Pound Cake scent with fewer chemicals. I wish Bodycology’s scrub was in stores I think I got that too! I’ll try the body wash next!
3. Scent Theory Light Up the Sky
Fresh and floral with notes of jasmine and yuzu peel
Bath & Body Works Into the Night Lotion is a captivating “night city” scent with keynotes of velvety rose petals and mocha musk. This description may not be exactly the same as scent theory, but you’ll find that the overall scent is perfect for your nose and works for less than $5.
“I saw someone on reddit saying that this lotion’s scent was a replacement for BBW’s ‘Into the Night’ and that’s exactly right!! I just bought the body spray and this 2 It’s great when you combine the two. This lotion is so affordable at Walmart!! Scent Theory needs to start making body sprays ASAP!!!!!!”
4. Bodycology Hawaiian Beach
Floral notes blended into the top layer of coconut
No matter the weather, you’ll always smell like you’ve been at the beach with Bath & Body Works at the Beach Lotion. It has notes of toasted coconut and frangipani flowers, and the Bodycology version mimics this scent with notes of coconut, fragrant peony, and water lily. Even better, reviewers say it doesn’t even smell like sunscreen. 😝
“I have bought and owned Bodycology perfumes for years and have always said that if you want something that smells similar to Bath & Body Works, but at a cheaper price, this is the company to choose. Ta.”
5. eos vanilla cashmere
Whipped vanilla, musk and caramel scent
When you want something a little more vanilla, Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel has notes of fresh vanilla bean, warm caramel, sugar cookies, whipped cream, and snowy musk. Hmm 🤔 This sounds just like eos whipped vanilla, soft musk, and cozy caramel!
But since eos is PETA certified, made with 100% sustainably sourced natural shea butter, and free of gluten, parabens, and phthalates, this easy swap will save your wallet. Not only that, your skin will love it too.
“A true duck to Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel. Delicious! Silky smooth and not at all sticky.”
