Best Bath & Body Works Loyal To You by Bath Body Works Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

You smell it before you see it, then you see it and you need it. “It” is a lemon cupcake still warm from the oven, and Bake brings the mmmm with tart lemon notes, followed by sugary vanilla and rich, nutty praline.

Inspired by the innovative use of materials that allowed 18th century clockmakers to construct the first truly accurate marine chronometers, Lignum Vitae combines elements of wood, metal and salt to produce a truly unique, transportive fragrance. Lignum vitae itself is an incredibly dense wood - the only wood which is guaranteed to sink in water - which is indigenous to the Caribbean and the north coast of South America. The brand’s nautical theme is enhanced wonderfully by caramel, a madeleine cake accord and a cool winter lemon note which provide a truly unique gourmand experience akin to smelling warm shortbread, muffins or cupcakes.

In combining unexpected and exotic raw materials, Beaufort London celebrates the innovative spirit which brought to an end the search for lost time, and permitted the safe passage of ships across the world.

Perfumer: Ane Ayo

The sensitive and sensuous artist picks up her paintbrush, burning with creativity and beauty. Bright light shines in the studio mirroring the floral and woody scent that surrounds her. Intense and passionate. With peppered lemons, and edible praline giving a sexy edge to the delicate and floral ambery rose.  

A beautifully bittersweet dance between honey and fresh lemon. A surprising herbal nuance undercuts the syrupiness of the honey, with undertones of rose and jasmine adding gentle cushioning. Sandalwood and musk lend subtle structure.

A fruity perfume tempting you with ripe mango, sweet melon and juicy grapefruit and sandal (adding extra structure to these aqueous components).

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 202 if you like the exotic fruit theme, sweet citruses and soft woods.

Perfumer for 202: Karine Dubreuil-Sereni.

Champaca is a tiny flower with a big personality: heady, insinuating, almost syrupy, vibrating between the rich sweetness of orange blossom and magnolia.

It is also tea-like, which is why it blends so shimmeringly with mate leaves.The addition of jasmine grandiflorum heightens the drama, while raspy vetiver leavens the syrup with a cloud of dusty smoke.

Afternoon Tea brings the whole party: the finger cakes, the floral arrangements, and above all, the tea.

"This is Molinard’s 2023 re-issue of their iconic amber fragrance. This new format includes 90ml spray bottle and a 7.5ml roll-on.

Ambre Lumiere is retro amber with a hint of a patisserie counter deliciousness. This curious nuance comes from tolu which brings it's unique roast coffee aroma to the composition. This is combined with a special variety of chocolaty patchouli, sweet vanillic benzoin and creamy honeyed ylang-ylang."

Awake is Akro’s energising coffee fragrance. This EdP captures the evocative smell of a warm coffee shop on a cold day: the freshly ground beans and the steam; the bitter luxury offset by the alluring hint of baked goods.

A rampage through a fantasy meadow. Lily-of-the-valley, orange blossom and lavender are crushed underfoot as you run riot across beauty. Lilac and lemon assert themselves in the carnage. Tonka bean and white musk ensures that this extrait strength perfume stays and plays.

With a cap inspired by the candy floss pink of salt flats in the Carmargue and Puerto Rico, Beso de Sal summons mineral crispness with a go-with-the-flow blend of citrus and woods. Marine notes are the connective tissue between lemon, tangerine and savory/minty shiso leaf. Sage heightens the aromatics, while peppery cedarwood calls to mind sun-bleached driftwood.
