Honestly, finding a lotion that perfectly mimics a perfume is HARD. Like, stupidly hard. But, fear not, fellow fragrance fanatic! We’re gonna dive in, even if the logic gets a little, shall we say, *loose*.
First off, I saw some whispers online about Bath & Body Works having a potential dupe. This TikToker, @destineetierraaa (go check her out!), was raving about it for layering. Sadly, the content doesn’t state what scent is the dupe. But B&BW is a great place to start! I mean, they’re always churning out new scents, and some of them definitely lean into that fruity-floral thing that Burberry Her does so well. Personally, I’d start sniffing around their berry-heavy collections, y’know? Anything with a hint of vanilla or that creamy musk, too. That’s key!
Then, there’s the whole “inspired by” route. Oakcha’s Nebula is apparently a dead ringer for Burberry Her, like “Astonishing! I can’t believe how much this smells like my favorite designer perfume! It’s the same creamy, cherry vanilla lusciousness of the real deal,” one source says. Now, I haven’t tried it myself (yet!), but if the perfume is close, maybe they have a lotion or something similar in texture and scent profile that could work as a lotion dupe in a pinch? Worth investigating!
Okay, hear me out on this one… Even if you can’t find a *perfect* lotion dupe, you could try layering! Grab a super basic, unscented lotion (think Cetaphil or something similar) and mix in a few spritzes of a Burberry Her dupe perfume. Like, maybe that Nebula or even something from a brand like Oriflame (they have a “Swedish Experience Blazing Warmth” that’s supposedly similar, though a bit more citrusy). It’s not a lotion dupe *per se*, but it’s a DIY workaround that lets you control the strength and scent. Plus, you get to feel like a mad scientist!
Another idea, albeit a bit of a tangent… I saw someone mention that Wylde Ivy has scents that are similar to the Burberry vibe. (Wanderer smells like Brit for Her). Now, they’re indie, so finding a direct lotion dupe might be a long shot, BUT… they might have a whipped body butter or something with a similar scent profile that you could use. Indie brands can be super creative!
