Alphanumeric-coded designer dupes with a deliberately anti-luxury-markup pitch

About Perfumes Zag Zodiak

Perfumes Zag Zodiak is a UK Shopify-based dupe house selling designer-inspired eau de parfum under the tagline "Perfection in a Bottle". Each fragrance is given a short alphanumeric code (ZAG Zodiak 454 TY, 453 HF, 452 NX) alongside a plain-English "Inspired by" tag naming the designer or niche release it references, spanning houses from mainstream department-store names to niche labels like Xerjoff and Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line. The brand markets around 300 fragrances across women's, men's and unisex collections, plus shower gels, body balms and aftershaves, and leans heavily on bundle deals (buy 3 get 1 free, free travel-size gifts) to drive basket size. Its core pitch is explicitly anti-luxury-markup: the brand's own copy argues that most of a £200 designer bottle's price is marketing and packaging rather than the fragrance oil itself, and that Zag Zodiak delivers the same scent experience at a fraction of the cost. Positioning is unambiguously budget and value-led rather than creative or prestige-driven, competing on matching a known scent profile cheaply rather than originating new ones.

Who It's For

Best For

  • Shoppers chasing a specific designer or niche scent at a fraction of the price
  • Bundle and multi-buy shoppers
  • Budget-conscious gifting

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Very large catalogue of coded dupes covering mainstream and niche references
  • Aggressive bundle pricing
  • Clear inspired-by labelling per product

Weaknesses

  • No original creative identity, entirely reference-driven
  • Longevity and projection typically fall short of the originals it references
  • Anti-luxury brand voice can read as combative rather than confident

Brand Evolution

The catalogue continues to expand with new numbered codes released regularly, tracking new designer and niche launches shortly after they land, while the core proposition (cheap, coded, inspired-by) has stayed consistent.

Quick Verdict

A high-volume coded dupe catalogue that is upfront about what it is: cheap, close approximations of designer and niche scents rather than original fragrances.
