Brazil Nut Body Butter
Two warm pistachio-caramel gourmands, one at $48 and one at $5.99. Trader Joe's Brazil Nut Body Butter smells strikingly close to Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream — the catch is that it's seasonal, in-store only, and sells out like a concert ticket. When you see it, buy two.

Our verdict: the alternative wins — when you can find it. The scent is strikingly close and the butter is rich. The real cost is the hunt: seasonal, in-store only. See it, buy two.
Where the money goes
- The scent: both are warm pistachio-caramel gourmands. Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 62 is slightly richer and longer-lasting on skin.
- The formula: Sol de Janeiro markets firming ingredients like guaraná and caffeine; Trader Joe's is a straightforward rich moisturizer with no firming claims.
- The availability: the $48 cream is the reliable year-round buy, online anytime. The $5.99 butter is seasonal and in-store only — the discount is paid in hunting trips.
