Here's What Teen Guys Actually Think About Bath & Body Works' New Luxury Cologne Collection (& the Designer Scents They're Duping)
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.
It's no secret that teen guys have totally elevated their scent game, with many shopping for fragrances that can only be found at high-end department stores, and of course, Sephora. Considering how costly some colognes can be even for the average adult, a teen dropping upwards of $100 for the sake of 'smelling good' might seem a bit excessive and out of reach — which is probably why products like Axe became such a phenomenon in the early 2000s. But now, there's a new collection of body sprays that's sure to find its way onto every teen boy's dresser, and it's already getting a ton of love online.

Earlier this month, Bath & Body Works released a new collection of men's fragrances that the internet can't stop talking about. Plenty of shoppers have noticed these new scents smell oh-so similar and, dare we say, just as good (if not better) to some well-known and very expensive colognes on the market. And to put them to the test, we tapped the teenage guys in our staffers' lives, including members of our Teen Council, to see if these scents are genuinely that good.
With five new fragrances that range from $20 to $60, this new collection is a way more affordable option for teen boys who love to smell as good as possible on a budget. They're supposed to be comparable to big-name brands, like Chanel's Bleu de CHANEL, YSL's Myself, and even Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540, which notoriously starts at $200 for a bottle that's a little over one ounce in size. So, we asked a handful of teens (with impeccable taste), ages 13 to 19, to wear and test the new Bath & Body Works Everyday Luxuries Men body sprays. Below, read all about their thoughts on the scents they love (and the others they 'don't mess with,') to see if they're really worth it — and shop the new cologne mists for yourself.
FYI, since it is Bath & Body Works, where you can always find a sale, you can get three of these body sprays (or any other body, skin, or hair care) for free when you buy three full-sized ones. Just use code B3G3 at checkout, and you can try the entire collection for less.

With a name like 'My Signature,' this cologne mist could easily be your teen's next go-to scent. It has golden pineapple, orange flower, and tonka bean aromas that have a 'very nice [and] fresh citrusy note,' according to Wylie, 13.
Although Bath & Body Works describes it as 'a much-needed escape to a tropical beach,' you would think it's a good scent for summer. However, a lot of the boys felt differently. According to Wylie, 'This would be good for autumn,' while Coby, 15, said, it's 'better for colder months and smells like Armani's Stronger With You.'

'This one is manly. This one speaks business,' said Cameron, 17. With notes of fresh ginger, rich cedarwood, and vetiver, we can totally see why. Many shoppers, Coby included, think that Eau So Navy is a dupe of Bleu de Chanel. 'It's a really clean scent,' he shared. It is important to note that the cologne is very potent, which can be a turn-off to some. So, even though our teen guys only tested out body mists, Colin, 19, felt this was 'too cologne-y and strong.'

For the guys who like Creed, this is the one to get. Most of social media, along with Clive and Coby, both 15, agree that Bath & Body Works' Glory cologne mist smells just like Creed Aventus. 'It's an easy-going scent,' Clive told us. 'Glory is less leathery, more woody, and is like 5% of the cost [of Creed], so that's a big plus.'
With notes like electric lemon, patchouli, and blonde cedar, we can see how Cameron and Colin, 19, felt that it was on the 'sweeter' and 'fruitier' side. 'It kind of smells like sticking your head in a bag of dried flowers,' said Cameron. 'I would wear this one,' said Colin. '[It] smells lighter and fruitier than the rest.'

For a fresh, citrus aroma, Hues of Blue is the one to reach for. Most of the boys liked how 'fresh' and 'citrusy' this one smelled compared to My Signature. 'If I could surgically implant this into my nose, I would,' Cameron said, adding that it was his favorite scent out of the five.
When comparing it to another scent on the market, Coby thought it was 'a lot like Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. It's really citrusy and fresh, like something you'd probably wear in the summer.' Theo, 15, agreed that it would be better for the warmer months. '[It] smells like you just came out of the shower, low key. I like it. I think this would be better in the spring or summer.'

'[Rouge Rebel] smells like Baccarat Rouge 540, which is not my favorite,' admitted Clive. 'It's a little more feminine-smelling. It's very musky and sweet.' And with notes like sparkling apples, amber woods, and sugared musk, we can see why. Wylie also thought it was 'apple-y and fruity,' saying, 'It'd be good for colder weather. It's subtle. It's not an overpowering scent.'
Overwhelmingly, our teen testers enjoyed the scents — the only two negatives were that the packaging felt 'cheap and plasticky,' and that the mists didn't last as long on the skin as they did on fabric and clothing. To be fair, these are the body mist versions, so naturally, they'll be a little more subtle than actual colognes. Bath & Body Works does, however, have cologne versions of the scents above. So that's always an option if you love the scent of the body sprays, but want something longer-lasting.
With that said, if you want to shop the new men's fragrances, you can find the entire collection here. The collection also features traditional cologne and body wash.

Sarah Jessica Parker Best Family Photos: Matthew Broderick, Kids, More
Sarah Jessica Parker has been famous since she was 12 years old when she was cast in the Broadway sensation Annie. From Footloose to Sex and the City, the triple-threat actress has always found a way to stay in the limelight through every decade, but it's her family that matters to her the most. She found her partner in crime, Matthew Broderick, after being introduced by her two brothers, who worked with him in the theater community. Together, they started a family that includes son James Wilkie, born in 2002, and fraternal twins Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta (goes by Loretta), who were born in 2009. She described her son when he was younger as 'very small, but [with a] personality [that] is 6 feet 4' and that's evident from every mischievous photo of him on the red carpet. The twins are a totally different story; they prefer life out of the spotlight, so it's rare to see a photo of them in public (unless the paparazzi are hounding them). 'They're really devoted to each other, but they'll also say, 'I need time away from her.' Tabitha can play by herself for hours. Loretta always needs to be checking in,' she told People. 'They go to different schools. That's Tabitha's idea.' Parker is a mama bear who does her best to maintain all of her children's privacy because no matter how famous she is as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw, at home, she's just mom. See our favorite photos of Parker with her family over the years below! More from SheKnows Our Favorite Family Photos of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, & Their Kids Over the Years Best of SheKnows 23 Celebrities Who Embodied the Boho Fashion Trend (& How It's Coming Back in 2025) Keira Knightley's Best Hairstyles Over the Years, From 2001 to Today All About Hugh Jackman & Deborra-Lee Furness' Very Private Kids, Oscar & Ava Parker and Broderick became parents for the first time when their son, James Wilkie Broderick, was born in November 2002. In this pic, they seem so proud as they leave the hospital for the first time. Parker and Broderick then welcomed twin daughters Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta in 2009. In this Robin Layton photo, the family of five is all smiles with their new additions. James's fascination with his sister is truly adorable! Over the years, James has been a veteran when it comes to walking the red carpet. He's often seen accompanying his parents at premieres and Broadway openings. At the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 2011, James outdid his own fashionable parents in this adorable black velvet suit. How adorable! He's a big fan of theater, too! In this pic, he's attending the Catch Me If You Can Broadway premiere back in 2011. At the 2012 premiere of Nice Work If You Can Get It, Parker posed hand-in-hand with James on the carpet as he showed off her longer, shaggier haircut. When Parker attended the New York City Ballet 2018 Spring Gala in 2018, daughters Loretta and Tabitha looked like her mini-me in floral spring dresses. Despite being a full-time student at Brown University in 2021, James still made time to support his mom on her big return to the iconic role of Carrie Bradshaw at the And Just Like That… premiere in December. Speaking of supporting, both Tabitha and Loretta sweetly supported their mom at the premiere of her long-awaited movie, Hocus Pocus 2, in September 2022. At the opening night of Some Like It Hot! on Broadway in December 2022, all five of them attended and posed for photos. Broderick looked proud as can be looking at his son at the premiere of No Hard Feelings in June 2023. Broderick was joined by all three of his kids at the long-awaited premiere of Oh, Mary! on July 11, 2024. He's one proud dad! The tight-knit family had another Broadway family outing at the Smash Opening Night on April 10, 2025.
