Four simple steps

How to find a perfume dupe you’ll actually wear

Similarity is more than a list of notes. Here’s how to use our comparisons with confidence.

01

Search the original

Enter the designer or niche perfume you love. Brand names, fragrance names, and partial matches all work.

02

Read the scent comparison

We compare top, middle, and base notes, then describe where an alternative differs in the opening and drydown.

03

Sample on your skin

Shared notes do not guarantee identical scent or wear time. Try a sample where available and compare how each fragrance develops on your skin.

04

Compare the real cost

Check bottle size and current retailer pricing, then choose the best value for how often you plan to wear it.
