This discontinued scent sparks fierce debate, but its unique take on vanilla has a loyal following.

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.
