Choose Vanille Blush when
["You want the white-floral-vanilla mood for daily office and casual wear at single-digit prices.","A simpler, brighter vanilla-jasmine register reads more wearable for you than the layered original.","You found the current Dior reformulation has drifted from the original spirit and the Artiscent feels more reminiscent of what you remember.","Solid five-to-six-hour wear at this price punches well above the budget tier."]

Scent profile
How we judge a match
We score each pairing on the two fragrance profiles: shared accords, overlapping notes, longevity and projection, and the occasions each suits. A good inspired-by scent captures the original's character rather than copying it molecule for molecule.
The full method, and what to look for in a dupe. Prices are UK retail and change often. Check before buying.
Inspired-by fragrances. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or produced by Dior. Match scores are our estimate of how alike two perfumes smell, calculated from their published notes, not a measurement. How we score similarity.
