The Give Me Cosmetics body spray bundle is currently on sale and includes scents similar to Sol de Janeiro’s adored fragrances
With summer around the corner and heatwaves already sweeping across the UK, perfume enthusiasts are on the lookout for the perfect summery scent. For those still unsure about their signature spritz, budget beauty retailer Give Me Cosmetics has launched a body spray bundle containing four mists that’s currently on sale for £36, working out at £9 a bottle.
Certain brands have gained a reputation for their ‘summer in a bottle’ sprays, achieving cult status among perfume fans. Brands like Sol de Janeiro are adored by beauty buffs, but at £38 for 240ml, they’re not the most affordable.
The four Give Me Cosmetics sprays bear similarities to much pricier options available in the market, meaning customers can get 800ml of fragrance for £2 less than one bottle of 240ml Sol de Janeiro. The most popular Give Me Cosmetics mist with over 700 reviews is Caramel Vacay, which is very similar to to Sol de Janeiro’s iconic Cheirosa 62 fragrance.

The spray features subtle notes of pistachio, sweet almond, heliotrope and jasmine – along with the anticipated vanilla and salted caramel. As reported by Nottinghamshire Live, Superdrug sells a similar Mar E Sol Salted Caramel and Pistachio Body Mist which costs £11.99 for a 250ml bottle.
The second spray included in the Give Me Cosmetics bundle is Orchid Dreams which features warm violet and vanilla orchid notes, making it similar to Sol de Janeiro’s Cheirosa 59. Meanwhile, Sunset Serenity combines caramel and luscious fruits, offering a scent similar to Cheirosa 87.

The discounted bundle contains four fragrances worth £9 each.
The final fragrance in the collection, Botanical Breeze, doesn’t compare to any Sol de Janeiro body spray. It echoes Victoria’s Secret Fresh Jade with its blend of apple, coconut, lemon, and orange, although this particular VS scent hasn’t hit the UK shelves yet.
The Give Me Cosmetics bundle boasts a flawless record with all three reviewers giving it top marks. A delighted customer commented: “They products are great, smells lovely and fast delivery will definitely buy again.”
A second satisfied shopper said: “Love them all, they all smell so fresh.” Another wrote: “Amazing smells and the spray lasts. I like all the fragrances to suit my moods. The sprays are so light, they glide into the skin.”
The Caramel Vacay spray that’s similar to Sol De Janeiro’s Cheirosa 62 has an impressive five-star rating from over 700 reviews. One impressed buyer penned: “This is just as good if not better than Sol de janeiro and smells delicious and lasts longer.”
Another rave review reads: “Absolutely love this body spray. Smells gorgeous and doesn’t leave any sort of sticky feeling like some others do. Cannot fault any products I have purchased from this website so far. Skincare, hair care is all amazing. Also the body cream is great too, it’s smooth and like the spray has no stickiness feeling, also smells just as good as the body spray.”
It’s worth noting, however, that some customers have experienced issues when ordering from Give Me Cosmetics. On Trustpilot, one buyer explained: “Terrible service. My hair products arrived with an item missing as it was not packaged well at all and had damage. Poor customer service when this was highlighted.”
The Give Me Cosmetics body spray bundle containing four 800ml fragrances can be purchased here for £36. Meanwhile, Sol de Janeiro’s £38 Perfume Mist Discovery Set is available at LookFantastic, but only contains 120ml bottles.
