Bethenny Frankel Praises $45 Salt & Stone Mist as Budget Dolce & Gabbana Alternative
Bethenny Frankel says the $45 Salt & Stone Lily Yuzu body mist captures the vibe of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, making it her go-to scent all summer.
Bethenny Frankel, a longtime fan of Salt & Stone, has been repeatedly using the brand’s Lily Yuzu Body Fragrance Mist throughout the summer, describing it as reminiscent of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue without the high price. She shared the comparison on Instagram via “The List,” noting the mist costs $45 versus Light Blue’s $185. The scent opens with yuzu, green apple and bergamot, settling into a base of lily, musk, amber and cedar, which the company markets as a gentle awakening.
While the product is currently out of stock on Salt & Stone’s own site, Nordstrom still carries it for the time being. Customer feedback averages a 4.9-star rating, with reviewers commenting on its Italian-beach feel and the compliments they receive. Frankel’s fragrance collection also includes Salt & Stone’s Santal & Vetiver Body Mist, which she once called “subtlety and luxury at its chef’s-kiss finest,” and a matching body wash she describes as a “sexy, sensual, sultry, sensational shower gel.”
