Dupes for Instant Crush Eau de Parfum
8 affordable alternatives - from £7
Original
A divisive beast mode scent that splits opinion down the middle. Some hail it as a superior BR540, a sweet, warm, and highly addictive sillage monster. Others find it an overpoweringly synthetic mess, headache-inducing, and lacking any nuance.

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.
