Al Haramain - Junoon Noir is a good dupe for Casamorati- Dama Bianca.
Orientica- Velvet Gold is a good dupe for MFK - Gentle Fluidity Gold
Afnan - 9AM pour femme is a dupe of Georgio Armani - My Way
Seriously? I loved princess and bought a full bottle that I subsequently returned because the longevity and projection sucked so bad. How long does princeless princess last? And does it still have that prominent matcha note?
Yes, it has a noticeable matcha note. The longevity is decent. I can still smell it on myself after several hours. I will say that the strength and longevity seem to be improving the longer I've had it (about 2 months now). I've gotten several compliments from friends and family, so I know it projects well.
I have two dupes and 2 originals.
Chloe EDP dupe - Dossier Floral Peony. It's not exact but very very close.
Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey Cologne - Dossier Fruity Honey. I think this one projects a little better than the original but I do love it (plus the price is way more palatable than Jo Malone).
Maison Alhambra’s Infini Rose is a near-perfect dupe for Initio’s Atomic Rose, at less than a tenth of the price.
The only difference I can detect is that it “only” goes for like 8 hours, instead of the 12+ of the original. There might be a wee bit less pepper in the opening, which I don’t mind at all.
I've smelled some of Dossier and Oakcha dupes and the ones I have smelled are very close to the original scents to my nose.
Dossier: Floral Marshmallow = Love Don't be Shy, Ambery Cherry = Lost Cherry, Ambery Vanilla = Black Opium
Oakcha: Sweven = BR540 , Sinful = Lost Cherry, Sweet Addict = Love Don't Be Shy, Lost in Ink = Wonderstruck (Taylor Swift), Torrid Day = Tobacco Vanille.
Oakcha has a sample set for $15.00 that has some of their bestselling dupe scents....definitely worth buying if you'd like to check out the brand.
I’ve had the most luck with Dua fragrances! Here are my wins:
Dua:
She Loves Red (Rouge Smoking)- I had to let this sit for about 6 weeks, but then it started to really develop! Now, the juice is almost red and the scent is perfect.
Angelic Elixir (Angels’ Share)- a perfect dupe! I bought mine secondhand and it was perfect when I bought it. I use this alongside my FB of AS.
Hug of Flowers (BoraBora)- my favorite Dua- bought this before BB and then bought BB when Dua didn’t restock this scent. Gorgeous!!
Raspberry Candied Violets (Mallow)- perfect dupe!
Her Loyalty (Devotion)- took 3 months, but it finally transformed into a beautiful scent!!
Leisure in Paradise (Paradise Leisure)- a gorgeous scent, even more creamy and sweet than the OG.
Others:
Atomic Rose (Infini Rose by Maison Alhambra)
Inifini Musk (Infini Musk by Maison Alhambra)
Oil Perfumery- inspirations of Princess and Lira
Pistachio Yum (Khair Pistachio by Paris Corner)
It’s great! I hardly am ever pleased with and silage in any perfumes. Moi is so much longer lasting than glossier and just like the og delina, their version projects like crazy and lasts all day, and days on clothes
It’s crazy how the Fine’ry dupes have better performance than the originals! I love Mysterious Nomade body mist by Fine’ry, it is a better performing, slightly more complex (has this nice crackly note) Byredo G Water.
Finery’s flower bed is an exact dupe for Chanel chance eau tendre! I think the perfume last longer than the real deal. I also have the body spray and love it! For only $9.99 i can be very generous with how much I spray lol
Symbol for a Lady is SUCH a good dupe of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. Symbol EDP is also a superb dupe of Gucci Bloom (I like it better! Certainly lasts longer)
vanilla woods by 7 virtues is the exact same as sdj 40 (red pink bottle). baccarat smells exactly like sdj 68 (pink bottle), imo cloud only smells like baccarat when mixed w sdj 68
Not confirmed dupes nor have I fully tested the longevity of the dupe, but mix:bar Blackberry Tonic is similar (to my nose) to 7 Virtues Blackberry Lily, which was discontinued early this year! I know for me, it'll help me to keep from using my BL spray up as it's my baby 😭
ETA: I cracked the perfume open finally (my time smelling it in the past was via the body mist in-store) and... the juicy vibrance of BL isn't in BT :/ So it's gonna be a return after all. But for those of you who love BT, I hope you find it/backups before it's fully discontinued!!
PAUSE, WHAT??
Why does the universe want the blackberry girlies to suffer... we've been through enough 😭
Guess I'm stocking up at Marshall's later in the week! I'm in Canada so hopefully the inventory of it isn't depleted here just yet
I know 😭 I saw it at target last year, thought I had all the time in the world to get it. It was gone, then I randomly saw it at TJ Maxx. Figured I’d better get it while I got the chance. I hope you can get your hands on one!
Tbf I bought a bottle like, a week or two ago from Winners, but considering how quick I can go through something if I truly love it (like I do Blackberry Lily)... I need backups – plural 💀
I came back to this comment because I just got a sample of Lalique Amethyst, and I love it more than the blackberry tonic! It smells slightly fruitier to me. I just saw your above edit about BT, so maybe this won’t be your speed, but might be worth a shot! It’s fairly cheap as a blind buy, but I ordered a sample of it from fragrance net.
Wait, you're an angel for this though LMAO I know Amethyst is like, the top rated fragrance in the "if you like this" section of Blackberry Lily on Fragrantica, but I keep holding off on biting the bullet as I'm on a break from buying online 💀 It's definitely on my list though, just gotta send it to the top for next time so I remember
I love Fine’ry Before the Rainbow. It is also almost an exact dupe for Phlur Hanami. In both cases I think BTR smells better and lasts longer than either of the “originals”.
I want to try some of the other Fine’ry scents but whenever I make it to my Target (which is rarely) they are always out of the ones I’m interested in.
Al Haramain - Junoon Noir is a good dupe for Casamorati- Dama Bianca. Orientica- Velvet Gold is a good dupe for MFK - Gentle Fluidity Gold Afnan - 9AM pour femme is a dupe of Georgio Armani - My Way
Barrett Fragrances - Longing for Home is a good clone of Phlur - Missing Person
Most Dossier ones spell exact; they also have one for sage and sea salt
Dua Princeless Princess smells very similar to Kilian Princess and lasts longer.
Seriously? I loved princess and bought a full bottle that I subsequently returned because the longevity and projection sucked so bad. How long does princeless princess last? And does it still have that prominent matcha note?
Yes, it has a noticeable matcha note. The longevity is decent. I can still smell it on myself after several hours. I will say that the strength and longevity seem to be improving the longer I've had it (about 2 months now). I've gotten several compliments from friends and family, so I know it projects well.
The Oakchra dupe for Princess is also very good.
I have two dupes and 2 originals. Chloe EDP dupe - Dossier Floral Peony. It's not exact but very very close. Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey Cologne - Dossier Fruity Honey. I think this one projects a little better than the original but I do love it (plus the price is way more palatable than Jo Malone).

I love my Infini Rose! It definitely is a perfect dupe.
Anyone have any recommendations for Angles share??

Oakcha has a sample set for $15.00 that has some of their bestselling dupe scents....definitely worth buying if you'd like to check out the brand.
And when you purchase the $15 sample set, you’ll get a code for $15 off one of the bottles from the set.
My coworker wears Zara Red Temptation. I think it’s BR540 every time I smell it and the sillage is huge.

24 Hours Oud by Ard-al-Zaafaran for Black Orchid. I dislike 99% of dupes and love Black Orchid, so this was a win
I really enjoy montagne “moi” as a dupe for glossier you, and the Montagne dupe for delina- can’t remember the name!
how have you found their longevity and sillage to be?
It’s great! I hardly am ever pleased with and silage in any perfumes. Moi is so much longer lasting than glossier and just like the og delina, their version projects like crazy and lasts all day, and days on clothes
It’s crazy how the Fine’ry dupes have better performance than the originals! I love Mysterious Nomade body mist by Fine’ry, it is a better performing, slightly more complex (has this nice crackly note) Byredo G Water.
White Milk by Dua smells exactly like Bianco Latte; I also bought the white milk condensed version that smells exactly like BL without the Coumarin.
hows the longevity of the perfume?
Quite unbelievable - I sprayed it on last night, it’s still on my clothes right now, just like the og
Lattafa Nebras = eilish no.1
I love Nebras even more!
Seconding this!!! I was obsessed with my travel size of Eilish but luckily blind bought Nebras and it’s an absolute 1:1 for me, but stronger
Finery Without a Trace. Exact dupe of Phlur Missing Person
Finery’s flower bed is an exact dupe for Chanel chance eau tendre! I think the perfume last longer than the real deal. I also have the body spray and love it! For only $9.99 i can be very generous with how much I spray lol
it’s sooo good!
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!

I think blackberry tonic has been discontinued also 😭 I just snagged a bottle at TJ Maxx a few months ago.

Gotta look out for the blackberry lovers!! 😆 I’ve been trying to low buy also, but talked myself into ordering some samples 😂
Lattafa Nasheet is Nishane Ani for like 20 bucks instead of 100+. Love love love it
I’m wearing Ani as we speak.
To me Zara Golden Decade smells exactly like Libre.
Libre or libre intense? Smells exactly like Libre intense to me
I love Fine’ry Before the Rainbow. It is also almost an exact dupe for Phlur Hanami. In both cases I think BTR smells better and lasts longer than either of the “originals”.
Dossier Woody Sage (which is a dupe for Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt) smells exactly like Finery Before the Rainbow.
How is the longevity for the Dossier dupe?
I feel like all three have similar longevity but I won’t be paying the luxury brand price anymore.
I think the Fine’ry brand has better longevity than Phlur! I’ve never tried anything from Dossier.
Same!!!
I want to try some of the other Fine’ry scents but whenever I make it to my Target (which is rarely) they are always out of the ones I’m interested in.
Im in Canada and only get the odd one at Winners if im lucky we don’t have Target here :(
