A perfume dupe is a fragrance that closely resembles a more expensive designer scent in its olfactory signature without copying it. These affordable alternatives — often called fragrance twins — mostly come from Arab houses and deliver a comparable impression at a fraction of the price.
What the community most often names as a dupe — with our editorial rating.
Our similarity is an editorial rating on a scale of 1 to 10 — not a measurement and not a percentage. We rely on the note pyramids of both fragrances, the consensus of the fragrance community, and our own smell tests on a blotter strip.
