I love finding perfume dupes because I just love to save money on luxury fragrances. Here on my site you’ll find lots of my favorite perfume dupes for some of the most popular fragrances from designer brands.
Often when it comes to luxury brands you are paying more for the designer name itself. Perfume packaging is not expensive in general.
The fragrance industry is very lucrative and, at the end of the day, it is out to make a profit.
Luckily for those of us looking for a cheaper alternative to high-end fragrances, dupe culture is on the rise and perfume dupes can be found in many high-street fragrances and online retailers. They share the same top notes, middle notes and base notes and are a good choice if you want to save some money.
Perfume dupes smell just like expensive perfumes from designer brands but they usually have a much lower price tag. This means you can smell like you’re wearing your favorite luxury perfume but skip the hefty price tag and spend so much less.
If you love designer scents but are trying to cut back on your spending, these dupes are a great way to get a popular fragrance from a luxury brand at a fraction of the price.
Scroll down to see all the perfume dupes on this site and find your perfect dupe for your signature scent. I’ve rounded up every best dupe for my most loved high-end perfumes from the likes of Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and other niche fragrances.

Frequently asked questions
A perfume dupe refers to a fragrance that closely resembles or replicates the scent of a high-end or designer perfume at a more affordable price point. These dupes are created by other brands or manufacturers who aim to capture the essence and character of the original fragrance, offering a similar olfactory experience at a fraction of the cost.
Perfume dupes themselves are not inherently illegal. Creating and selling perfumes that resemble or are inspired by other fragrances is a common practice in the fragrance industry. However, it is important to note that trademark laws come into play when it comes to naming, packaging, and marketing these dupe fragrances. Brands must avoid infringing upon trademarks or misleading consumers by creating packaging or marketing materials that may confuse them into thinking they are purchasing the original fragrance. As long as perfume dupes comply with trademark laws and do not engage in deceptive practices, they can be legally sold and enjoyed by consumers.
Yes, these dupes can be really good and in recent years they are becoming more commonplace. Often they smell exactly like the original perfume they are trying to emulate which means you can get the scent of your favorite designer fragrance for much less money. The main downside to these dupes is that sometimes you might not get as much of a long-lasting fragrance as you would if you purchased the original scent.
Companies like Dossier and Oakcha specialize in creating designer fragrance dupes which are very good. Other brands like Zara and Aldi also release beauty dupes which include fragrances. These are best sellers because they are often a dead ringer for their designer counterpart.
Designer perfume copies are a really big business in this day and age, encouraged by shoppers who want to save money as the cost of living goes up. They know people can’t always afford fragrances you’ll find in department stores and therefore bring out cheap perfumes that smell like the real thing.
