These 11 High-Street Perfume Dupes Smell So Expensive

These 11 High-Street Perfume Dupes Smell So Expensive

I have a confession to make. Since starting my career as a beauty journalist, I’ve acquired quite a collection of fragrances over the years. Due to the nature of the job, I’ve been lucky enough to receive lots of expensive fragrances, from Byredo to Jo Malone, and I’ve developed quite a high-end taste—and nose. It was only when standing in the queues of some of my favourite high-street stores recently that I really took notice of the affordable fragrances available. And in recent years, they have seriously upped their game.

While we love treating ourselves to premium fragrances, we also love finding an affordable gem to add to our perfume collections.

With brands such as Jo Loves (which was founded by fragrance royalty Jo Malone) pairing with stores like Zara, high-street fragrances have shed their sickly sweet reputation and become seriously sophisticated. In fact, you can probably find a perfume dupe on the high street—or at least something very similar—for the most popular fragrances nowadays. So you don’t always have to break the budget to smell expensive. Whether you like clean-smelling fragrances or fruity scents or want to find your signature perfume on a budget, high-street brands H&M, Marks and Spencer, & Other Stories, The Body Shop and Zara are really leading the way for more affordable high-street perfumes.

To help you find your new high-street fragrance, I’ve found the best sellers from each store and put them to the test, matching them and their notes to their more expensive counterparts. And I have to say, these are now permanent fixtures on my fragrance shelf alongside my premium favourites.
