What is a ‘Dupe’ Fragrance:
A ‘dupe’ fragrance, short for ‘duplicate,’ refers to a scent that is created to closely resemble or imitate the aroma of a well-known designer or brand-name fragrance. While a dupe fragrance may share similar scent characteristics with the original, it is important to note that it is not an exact replica or copy of the designer fragrance. Instead, it offers a comparable olfactory experience at a more affordable price point. Dupe fragrances are crafted to capture the essence and appeal of the original scent, making them an excellent alternative for those who enjoy high-end fragrances without the premium price tag.
