Reddit user Melkinashoe posted a message on Reddit about their mother’s purchase of a Dollar Tree.
“I was given the Sol de Janeiro 62 Pistachio and Salted Caramel Hair and Body Fragrance Mist as a gift and although I haven’t used it yet, I think it smells lovely,” she said.
“I didn’t know it was that popular until after I bought it and I didn’t know what it would cost.”
She later discovered that her mother had taken a trip to Dollar Tree,
“My mom comes home from a trip to the dollar store with an exact replica,” she says.
“It does come in an aerosol and like I said, I’ve never worn the original version so I don’t know how long they last, but it smells exactly the same and costs $1.25.”
The daughter revealed the name of the Dollar Tree impersonator.
“It’s the Power Stick for her Body Spray in Brazilian Mist, which she got from Dollar Tree,” she revealed.

“Also, as far as I know, it’s not a deodorant or anything like that. I just wanted to mention it because it might seem like it, since it’s from Power Stick.”
The Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 Bum Bum Hair and Body Fragrance Mist retails for $38 at Sephora.
The sweet caramel and pistachio nuts have acquired cult status.
PUBLIC PLEASER
Several Redditors responded and gave their opinions on this bargain find.
“I just bought this one too and I like the fake one too, it’s really strong,” someone wrote.
They added that the scent lasted for three hours and lingered in the room where they sprayed it.
“I’m on my third can,” wrote another. “It’s such a good dupe.”
One customer said there’s more to discover in the Dollar Tree line.
“Apparently there is also a body wash from the same brand,” they said.
“I got the shower gel today,” another replied. “I’m excited to try it.”
“I saw your post a few days ago and went hunting,” said someone else.
“I found it last night, it smells really nice. I used it this morning, but I combined it with my Dolce & Gabbana Devotion.”
