I went to Bath and Bodyworks this week for the semi annual sale that they have and I purchased some throwbacks, and as I was walking out the store, I smelled somebody spray this cotton candy body spray. It smelled so good that I literally turned back around and went to pick myself up one then, as I continued shopping at another store after I sprayed it on me, it smelt somewhat familiar to me and

then it reminded me of a perfume I have at home. Violet vibes by Anna Sui smelling them side-by-side they smell almost identical, other than the fact that I would violet vibes has more of lemon zest to it, but they layer perfectly together. I would say maybe even dupes?What do you guys think? Have you guys ever tried either of these. they’re both affordable layering combinations for summertime. Also adding Violet vibes by Anna Sui has the cutest packaging. The cherry atomizer is everything💕 for the price and the packaging plus the smell. You really can’t beat it!!
