Dupes for R.E.M Eau de Parfum

7 affordable alternatives - from £5

Original

R.E.M. is a divisive, quirky lavender gourmand that manages to be both sweet and salty. While many find it comforting and unique, some struggle with its unusual blend, likening it to anything from laundry detergent to an old aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

What makes a good dupe?

A good dupe captures the essence of the original fragrance - the same mood, the key accords, the general character - at a more accessible price point. It doesn't need to be a molecule-for-molecule copy. The best dupes feel right for the same occasions and carry a similar energy, giving you more ways to enjoy a scent profile you love.

We assess dupes by comparing the fragrance profile of the original against the dupe: shared accords, overlapping notes, similar longevity and projection, and occasion suitability. Our similarity scores reflect how closely the two fragrances align in character - not just raw ingredients.
