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 Rare Beauty. Match scores are our estimate of how alike two perfumes smell, calculated from their published notes, not a measurement. How we score similarity.
