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.
BATH & BODY WORKS MEN’S LUXURY COLLECTION 2025
My Signature Cologne Mist
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.”

Eau So Navy Cologne Mist
“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.”

Glory Cologne Mist
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.”

Hues of Blue Cologne Mist
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 Cologne Mist
“[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.
