Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Bath & Body Works Forever Red is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Bath & Body Works's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Bath & Body Works Forever Red (2012), created by Honorine Blanc, is a women's fragrance positioned among the brand's sweeter, fruit-forward offerings. It opens with bright pomegranate supported by softer peach and apple facets, moves into a floral heart of red peony, osmanthus and marigold, and rests on a warm base of vanilla, rum, marshmallow and oak that gives the scent a woody-fruity-sweet profile. With a community rating of 4.19/5 from 915 votes, wearers often point to the pronounced pomegranate and the gourmand rum-marshmallow base. The scent is most often chosen for colder months and evening wear.
Our take
I like Forever Red for its vivid pomegranate top and the chewy rum-marshmallow vanilla that follows; Honorine Blanc keeps the fruit clear instead of drowning it in sugar. The juice gives good character for the price and often reads richer than other mass-market picks, but longevity and projection are modest on my skin, so I reapply for outings. Fans who want a strong, long-lasting signature might be frustrated, yet those after a sweet winter evening spritz will find a lot to enjoy.

The Bottle
Forever Red’s bottle is a broad, straight-sided rectangle in apparent deep red, with pale-pink lettering that gives the front a strong graphic contrast. The oversized bow-like decoration attached at the upper right makes the design more distinctive than a standard spray bottle, though the exposed mechanism keeps the presentation from feeling especially polished.
Original or Clone
Honorine Blanc’s authorship gives Forever Red a clear reason to remain the reference rather than treat its interpretation as interchangeable. The fragrance’s woody, fruity and sweet character is distinctive enough to make a name and accord list only part of the story. We therefore favour the original, while acknowledging that the single tracked interpretation remains a reasonable choice for readers who do not need Blanc’s authorship.
