A “Dupe” (or duplicate) fragrance replicates the aroma of a leading brand, but at a much lower price point. These savings are possible because of dupe manufacturers’ vastly reduced outgoings on costs like marketing, TV ad campaigns and packaging. Equally, many designer brands invest heavily in celebrity endorsements.
That doesn’t mean compromising on standards. ‘Inspired by’ scents can give you an identical experience to the real thing, and with the same quality of ingredients for both men’s aftershave or women’s perfume.
Benefits of Dupe Perfumes or Aftershave:
- It’s easier to try out new products, since the risk if far lower if they turn out not to be for you. Duplicates give you the chance to try something which may not feel comfortable paying full price for, but which you may come to love.
- You open the possibility of mixing and matching your perfume ‘wardrobe’ more easily. So, for instance, you can switch your scent according to your mood or what the weather’s doing or whether you’re headed out for a day at the office, a hot date or an evening out with friends, because you’ll be able to buy more products.
- Giving the gift of scent, always an intimate present, becomes affordable when you want to treat those closest to you.
- You can experiment with layering different fragrances and wearing them in different ways. Combine floral and spicy or fruity notes, for example, to create something unique.
- Duplicate perfumes are ideal if you wear scent every day.
How to make your Dupe Perfume Scent last longer
Even if you’ve saved 75% on the cost of a designer brand by buying a dupe perfume rather than the original, why stop there? Here are a few tips for making your perfume last as long as possible:
Look after your perfumes and store them properly
Keep bottles in a cool, dark spot away from direct sunlight. Additionally, storing them in the original box can provide protection from air and light, which can impair the aroma.
Layer with complementary beauty products
Layer your fragrance with a similar scent via shower gels and body lotions and you’ll find it lasts longer.
Strategic application for best impact
Don’t rub the liquid into your skin. This often affects the scent as it breaks down the molecules. Apply to warm pulse points for maximum longevity, including wrists, elbows and behind your ears.
Making the most of Smart Shopping with Dupe Fragrances
Savvy shopping for your dupe scents can make all the difference. Purchasing online, for example, maximises your savings, as can buying in bulk or bundles. At the same time, make the most of special offers, deals on shipping, loyalty schemes, free samples allowing you to try before you buy, plus any other rewards on offer, especially for repeat customers.
