There are two things you should know about me. 1) I’m always up for a challenge and 2) I’m all about saving money. So, I partnered with Suave, and they asked me to put my senses to the test by taking a blind sniff challenge to which I would smell three Suave Essentials body washes along with comparable scents from Bath & Body Works.
See those unlabeled jars? Each group includes one scent from Suave Essentials and a comparable fragrance from Bath & Body Works. I carefully examined all the jars and began to get to work.
After taking my time and sniffing each one several times, it was time for the big reveal. Much to my surprise, I chose Suave Essentials for each one! They all smell just as great as premium brands and are available for a fraction of the price. Needless to say, I was shocked. I even put my husband to the test and he preferred all Suave Essentials as well. We both agreed each scent was more appealing and had more of a fresh scent to them.
My Picks:
Suave Essentials Wild Cherry Blossom Body Wash over Bath & Body Works Cherry Blossom
Suave Essentials Ocean Breeze Body Wash over Bath & Body Works Juniper Breeze.
Suave Essentials Creamy Cocoa Butter & Shea Body Wash over Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar
Suave Essentials body washes are absolutely the way to go. They are real and don’t have a fake scent to them. Plus, they come in a variety of fun, fresh fragrances that the whole family can love and enjoy.
I think what I love most about Suave Essentials Body Wash (Besides their great scent) is the way they make my skin feel moisturized and extra soft. They lather up and foam really nicely in the shower and that is a huge plus for me as well.
I’m not the only one who was impressed! When the test was brought to real women, they also preferred the scent of three Suave Essentials body washes over three comparable Bath and Body Works® fragrances. Check out this video here where you can see their reaction and how surprised they were!
So how many bottles of Suave Essentials can you buy for the price of one Bath & Body Works fragrance? How does six sound?!

Oh, what a great test! I will pick up the Suave Wild Cherry Blossom for sure to see how it compares to Rituals Sakura Cherry Blossom!
Kristi V BeginNails says
I’ve seen the commercials of the scent test and was surprised when all of the people said Suave…I”m glad a real life person (that I trust) says the same. And 6 for the price of 1!!! OK, time to stop buying shower gels from B&BW!
nichole costa says
suave is a lovely brand. And so affordable.
Aprill says
You have to tell me about the Shea Butter scent!
Beautometry says
I’ve seen the commercials, but nice to see someone else blind testing it. I love Warm Vanilla Sugar so I’ll have to check the Suave out for sure.
Lola Seicento says
What a fun test, and such a good nose you have! Three out of three! These sound wonderful!
Erika says
I like the Suave body wash scents as does my husband.
Brooke @ Blushing Noir says
I saw this on TV and wanted to try the sniff test, too! I’m now convinced!
My Nail Polish Obsession says
What a fun comparison! I’ll be on the lookout for the Suave brand body washes now!
The Jedi Wife says
I’d pick the Suave too, especially over some of the alternates from B&BWs! I pick up B&BWs stuff on occasion when there is a great sale and a scent I just need to have, but I usually prefer the use my Suave products as well!
MarciaF says
I think BBW smells so artificial so I’m sure I’d have picked the Suave too. I should check out the cherry blossom since that’s a scent I like. And nothing beats their price.
Phyrra says
What a cool test! Glad you love the scents!
Krystal E says
I really want to smell the ocean one now.
Anastasia says
I’ve seen ads where people do the sniff test and discover which scents they prefer, and I was super curious to do the same. It’s so awesome that Suave has such great-smelling body washes!
LittleNuclearReactor says
The sniff test sounds pretty fun! I def want to try Wild Cherry Blossom in the near future!
Kathryne says
I haven’t tried this brand in a great while. Sounds lovely!

Legit I totally now want the Cherry Blossom. These all sound awesome.
Babi says
I’m definitely picking up the Cherry Blossom because I already know I’ll love it!
CosmetopiaDigest says
What a fun test! I love cocoa butter in my bath and body products – this one sounds lovely.
Emily Draher says
This is great! I love that there’s an affordable alternative to B&BW!
Naked Without Polish says
I bet the shea butter smells amazing! I think the last time I went to B&BW it was to grab some of the throwback scents last year. I get too overwhelmed with all the smells. I get migraines in there.
Ashley says
BBW is so expensive! IT’s great to see there is a lower cost alternative!
Stacie @ wacie.com says
What a fun challenge! I’ve often wondered if companies sent blind samples to bloggers, and it’s cool to see that they do!
Honeygirlk says
It’s been a minute since I’ve used anything from Suave, but I would love to do a sniff test to see which I would prefer – it would be great to actually see what scent you like, vs the name and what you think it is.
Jessica Holoka says
I bet I would love that cherry blossom scent! I’ve got to get that body wash!
Katie Garvin says
Wow, what a cool test — that is AWESOME that they’re so affordable! I love suave body products!
