What’s new.

Burberry Goddess went viral on TikTok in 2024 — and at $110 a bottle, the dupe demand caught up fast.

LV Imagination is $330, sold only in LV stores, and one of the most-searched fragrance dupe queries of the past year.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir is $275 for an accord that didn't take $275 to formulate.

PdM Layton is $295 and the most-Reddit-cited niche fragrance after Aventus. Six sub-$50 bottles that hit the apple-vanilla-tobacco accord.

Sauvage is the highest-volume men's dupe query on Google. Five sub-$50 bottles that hit the bergamot-pepper-ambroxan accord.

The $45 bottle vs the $475 bottle. We compared them side by side on accuracy, longevity, projection, and the obvious question.

Tobacco Vanille is Tom Ford's most-cloned Private Blend. Four dupes consistently land 7+ accuracy in blind tests — and one of them rivals the original outright.

Black Opium's coffee-vanilla-pink-pepper accord made it the bestselling women's fragrance of the late 2010s.

Santal 33's iris-cardamom-sandalwood accord launched a thousand dupes. Five hold up to side-by-side wear — and one scores 9/10 against the $245 original.

Bath & Body Works Love Unleashed is the most surprising dupe of the last five years. We compared it to the Kilian original — and three other contenders.

Lattafa is now the most-mentioned dupe brand on r/fragranceclones — and they don't market themselves as dupes at all.

F***ing Fabulous built its cult on a creamy leather-almond-lavender base unlike anything else in the Private Blend line.

Aventus Absolu is the all-black, dialed-up flanker of Creed's most-cloned fragrance. Three sub-$55 bottles credibly track its smokier, sweeter pineapple DNA.

Ultra Male's bergamot-cardamom-tonka structure made it the late-2010s clubbing fragrance.

Bvlgari Tygar is a Le Gemme niche release with a tiger-eye cap and a $135 price tag.

Tobacco Oud is the darker, smokier sibling to Tobacco Vanille — and far less duped.
