ALT Fragrances Dupes
ALT Fragrances is a US direct-to-consumer perfume brand that openly attributes its scents to well-known originals — several are even titled “Inspired by” the original outright, such as Brick (“Inspired by Tuscan Leather”) or Simply Another (“Inspired by Another 13”). This list collects every pairing we verified on the brand’s own pages.
In short: this list maps 12 verified ALT Fragrances scents to the originals the brand itself names, each with an editorial rating between 6/10 and 8/10 — all independent fragrances meant as affordable alternatives, not the original perfume.

What are ALT Fragrances dupes?
ALT Fragrances is a US direct-to-consumer brand sold through its own site, altfragrances.com, which maintains a dedicated “fragrance dupes” catalog page and attributes each scent to a named original — sometimes directly in the product title (“Inspired by Tuscan Leather”), sometimes in the product description (“inspired by Kilian Paris Angels’ Share”). Prices harvested from the official product pages in this list run from $29 to $49 in USD.
What does official inspired-by publishing mean for buyers?
The attribution comes from the brand itself, so there is no ambiguity about which original each scent is aimed at. It remains marketing positioning — a declared aim, not a promise of equivalence. One practical caveat specific to ALT: for a number of its scents the brand does not publish a full note pyramid. Where that is the case, no note-by-note comparison is possible, and our rating rests on the brand’s attribution and community commentary alone — those pairings sit at a deliberately cautious 6/10. Where ALT does publish notes (Amber Angel or Fleur Noire, for example), the computed overlap with the original’s documented list can support a higher rating.

How should the ratings be read?
The spread runs from 6/10 to 8/10 (editorial assessment). The highest entries — Amber Angel against Angels’ Share, Fleur Noire against Black Opium, Falcon against Althair — are the ones where ALT publishes its own pyramid and the published lists overlap substantially. Everything else is anchored by attribution and community consensus. None of the numbers is a measurement; all of these are independent fragrances from an independent house.
Are ALT Fragrances scents copies of the originals?
No. ALT Fragrances sells independent perfumes that the brand itself positions as inspired by well-known originals. The attribution is the brand’s own; the scent is not the original perfume.
Why do several ALT pairings carry a 6/10?
For a number of its scents ALT does not publish a full note pyramid, so no note-by-note comparison is possible. Those ratings rest on the brand’s attribution and community commentary alone, and we keep them deliberately cautious.
Which ALT fragrance is closest to its original in this list?
The highest editorial assessments here are 8/10: Amber Angel against By Kilian Angels’ Share, Fleur Noire against Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, and Falcon against Parfums de Marly Althair — in each case supported by computed overlap of the published note lists.
What does a number like 8/10 mean in this list?
The number is an editorial similarity assessment on a scale of 1 to 10, based on the brand’s declared positioning, computed note overlap where both pyramids are published, and community consensus. It is not a measurement and not a percentage.
Where can I buy ALT Fragrances in the US?
