When it comes to dupes perfume is one of the most common ways affordable brands copy designer brands.
Designer fragrances are usually incredibly expensive and can be out of the price range of many people.
Sometimes you can be paying top price for the rarity of the ingredients or the best quality perfume oils which naturally cost more to use.
Often, however, when it comes to luxury brands you are paying more for the name itself.
The fragrance industry is very lucrative and, at the end of the day, it is out to make a profit.
If you love designer scents but are trying to cut back on your spending, perfume dupes are a great way to get a popular fragrance from a luxury brand at a fraction of the price.
