1
Dupe for Angels’ Share by Killian
Bath & Body Works’ new scent, Inner Angel, has a fragrance profile of spiced apple cognac, tonka bean, and warm praline. It smells “like a warm caramelized spicy apple pie,” according to the fragrance influencer TikTok account PL Smells, who dubbed it a dupe for Angels’ Share by Killian.
The Bath & Body Works version is “way less boozy and smokey than the original,” and “the warmth is more a generic woodsy note versus a pure cognac,” said PL Smells.
While you “get more of that sweet rich praline” undertone, it “still smells like a fall candle” more than a fine fragrance,” they added. “I think you’ll like this if you like the original, but it may not scratch that itch.”
But for $256 cheaper, it may be worth the trade-off. Angels’ Share retails for $275 at Sephora, versus B&BW’s $18.95 price tag.

Dupe for Libre by YSL
Bath & Body Works’ Free as a Flower is a “super accurate” dupe for YSL’s Libre eau de parfum, according to PL Smells. It has a citrus body with floral undertones, including wild orange flower, lavender, and creamy vetiver.
“I would honestly say it’s more of a YSL Libre Intense. It’s really similar to that DNA, but you don’t get that agitating soapy lavender [smell],” said PL Smells. “This is earthy, floral, sophisticated. Honestly, nine out of 10 for accuracy.”
Best of all, it only costs $18.95 per bottle. Meanwhile, Libre retails for $145 at Sephora.

Dupe for Erba Pura by Xerjoff
Bath & Body Works says Mediterranean Mirage “smells like taking a dip in crystal-blue waters on a European Riviera.” It’s more of a masculine fragrance with strong notes of fresh bergamot, amber, and smooth musk.
Shoppers are comparing it to the designer perfume Erba Pura by Xerjoff. The name-brand has a fragrance profile of orange and lemon, bergamot, amber, Madagascar vanilla, and white musk—as well as a $290 price tag.
If that exceeds your perfume budget, shoppers say Mediterranean Mirage is a cheaper alternative that comes close to hitting all the same notes. With $271 back in your pocket, you can afford the whole Mediterranean Mirage collection!
PL Smells said that Mediterranean Mirage “isn’t as overripe and abrasive” as Erba Pura. “It’s very masculine-y, cologne-y. It’s not a juicy, fresh aquatic citrus.”

Dupe for Donna Born In Roma by Valentino
After much pushback from shoppers, Bath & Body Works re-released its Pink Obsessed body mist fragrance. The scent, which many say is a worthy dupe for Valentino’s Donna Born in Roma perfume, has notes of jasmine, cashmere praline, and vanilla bourbon.
“This one is baaaack!” cheered beauty influencer @fragrance_chyn_lover in a TikTok. She added that it’s “so good for layering.”
It costs $18.95, compared to the designer version, which goes for $110 at Sephora.
