Dupes for Water Calligraphy Eau de Parfum
1 affordable alternative - from £7
Original
This aquatic floral fragrance is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, refined take on a classic, while others dismiss it as overpriced and unoriginal, comparing it to a fancy shampoo or L'Eau d'Issey. A divisive choice, so sample before committing.

Dupes
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.
