Designer perfume dupes that smell expensive without the spenny price tag? Now we’re talking.
If you don’t know by now, we LOVE a good dupe… but good is the operative word here, girlies. So, we’ve rounded up the best designer perfume dupes that actually deliver.
You can thank us later xx
YSL Libre
I’m not messing when I say I get compliments on this all the time, from both men and women. Even the girlies who know their YSL have mistaken it for the real deal. I rest my case.
Jenny Glow’s Liberté costs around €12 and you’ll likely find it in your local pharmacy.
We have influencer Laura Broderick to thank for this one, who discovered this little gem right after buying a brand new bottle of her fave YSL Libre. The timing is painful.
Matiere Premiere’s Vanilla Powder Extrait
TikToker Èle McAuley shared the love and spilled the beans on a dupe for Matiere Premiere‘s Vanilla Powder Extrait perfume which will set you back €350 for a 100ML bottle in Brown Thomas.
This perfume is a favourite of brides on their wedding day (yes, it’s that good), and now you can get the same gorgeous scent for a lot less.
Èle says that Zara’s Immortal Vanilla perfume smells identical, and an 80ML bottle will only set you back €23.
Lancôme La Vie Est Belle
Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle is a fave for a lot of girlies, and for good reason.
BUT, €150 is verrrrry spenny when there’s a €12 alternative.
This is another pharmacy classic, so if you can’t find it in your local pharmacy, it’s definitely worth hunting one down.
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir
Who doesn’t love Jo Malone!?
Clearly Jenny Glow got the memo because they’re back again with a dupe for the popular Pomegranate Noir.
Fans of the perfume say it smells verrrrry like the original, and you can still smell it hours later, which is right up our street.
Side note: according to Jo Malone, one of the best fragrances she’s ever created is in Zara, and it’s only €36! Read about it here x
YSL Black Opium
Word on the street is that Zara’s Gardenia perfume is a dupe for YSL Black Opium, BUT sorry girlies, it’s currently listed as ‘coming soon’ on their website.
We did come across a Zara dupe of Black Opium yeaaars ago, and we have to say, it was spot on. So, we have high hopes for this one – and it’s definitely worth checking out once it hits the shelves.
Baccarat Rouge
Shout out to one of our readers who put us onto The Essence Vault and their dupe for Baccarat Rouge, because it smells identical and has over 7,000 5-star reviews to back it up.
You can nab a 100ML bottle of this gem for just €24 instead of splashing out over €250 for a smaller bottle of Baccarat Rouge.
Standard shipping is only €2.50 and taxes are included – we love to see it.
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
According to UK beauty influencer Debbie Attwood, a.k.a. Beauty Glow Girl, Marks & Spencer’s Soft Iris perfume is a dupe for Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle, and who are we to argue with her and her 239k followers!?
Now, we have to mention that reviews are mixed on this one, with some complaining that the scent doesn’t last very long, but honestly girlies, at this price, we’re still calling it a win.
So, if you want to smell like you have your life together without the designer price tag, you know what to do.
