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.
