10 affordable alternatives - from £5

Original

Vanilla | 28 Eau de Toilette bottle
Vanilla | 28 Kayali
£25 EDP

A brown sugar-amber vanilla with a boozy, musky undercurrent, Vanilla | 28 is more mature and sultry than sweet cupcake. Often hyped as a layering staple, it shines in cold weather and intimate settings, but its projection is moderate and some may crave more vanilla or longevity.

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.
