Is it just me, or are fragrance dupes everywhere now?
Maybe it’s because I write a lot about perfumes and aftershaves, but I am seeing a fragrance dupe all the time.
If you don’t already know, a fragrance dupe is a scent which smells exactly like a designer fragrance. They’re cheaper alternatives made for the sole purpose of smelling like a more expensive scent.
Dupe is simply short language for “duplicate”, i.e. a certain smell has been recreated or duplicated by someone else.
As people’s tastes for more expensive designer and niche fragrances grow, people want the high end perfumes and aftershaves. But without the price tag.
That is where the dupe comes in.
Here’s what you need to know about dupes.

It’s true they are not the same, and it’s not such a difficult thing to understand.

That’s kind of changed in recent times as I’ve rediscovered this gem.
Here’s what this aftershave is all about.
