The 6 best luxury perfume dupes for under £100 – from Baccarat Rouge 540 to Carolina Herrera Good Girl

There are a lot of Baccarat Rouge 540 dupes out there – and trust, we’ve spritzed our way through nearly all of them. But for note similarity and staying power (without the triple-digit price tag), Sol de Janeiro’s Cheirosa '68 Body Mist is the one that actually delivers. It’s a bit sweeter than the original, but the result is a softer, more wearable finish that still turns heads.

One Cosmo editor says: "I’ve been wearing this Sol de Janeiro body spray for years, long before Baccarat Rouge 540 was even on my radar. So when I finally sniffed MFK’s blend for the first time, my first thought was, 'wow, this smells like Cheirosa ‘68.' In my mind, BR540 will always be a *much more expensive* dupe for this affordable mist. When I compare the two side by side, this pink-tinged fragrance smells just a tad brighter and sweeter, thanks to the pink dragonfruit note. But it lasts just as long as the EDP (if not longer). Consider it Baccarat’s carefree, summer-y cousin."

Black Opium is easily one of the most delicious – and most recognisable – designer fragrances out there. It's one of those universally loved scents that racks up compliments every time you wear it. And if you're not trying to drop more than £50 on a bottle, you're in luck: Dossier makes luxury-inspired fragrances that smell seriously close to the real thing – like their Ambery Vanilla, which boasts the warm, sweet vibe of Black Opium for a fraction of the price.

One Cosmo editor says: "Dossier Ambery Vanilla smells strikingly similar, though it is a bit more intense (read: has a stronger sillage) with an airier quality to it. When I spray the O.G., the rich gourmand notes of coffee and vanilla are more prominent, giving it a super sensual feel; while in Ambery Vanilla, the lighter, brighter hints of tuberose, pear, and a kick of pink pepper linger for a few hours before settling into a cosy vanilla. I find Dossier’s iteration perfect for a summertime date night, when you want to make an impression but don’t want an overpowering, cloying perfume."

Carolina Herrera's original Good Girl scent is one of the best-selling fragrances on the market right now, and this Bath & Body Works spray is a near-perfect dupe for the Blush iteration of the famous fragrance (I prefer the Blush to the OG, BTW). Not only is the scent a mere fraction of the price, but it also comes in a large bottle that won't run out any time soon. If you want to smell sweet, flirty, and rich, I recommend spritzing this ASAP.

One Cosmo editor says: "My one-word descriptor of this fragrance would be sassy. I've never tried to OG, so I was even more excited to try it without any preconceived notions. The first spritz shows off the fresh and floral side of the fragrance profile, before you get a hint of the rebellious peppery note that gives the fragrance more bite. With longer wear, I started to smell a soft sweetness from the gourmand notes. I kept coming back to this one again and again."

One of the most coveted scents is undoubtedly Le Labo Santal 33. It's genderless, smells earthy and rich, and has long-lasting staying power. It gives all the luxe vibes. But the £170 price tag is not an easy one to ignore. Enter: Maison Louis Marie's take on the fresh scent for less than half the price.

One Cosmo editor says: "Listen, it's not all the same notes, but it's pretty damn close. You've got sandalwood, cedar, and amber, but instead of a few florals, this adds some spicy sweetness with nutmeg and cinnamon. Whenever I wear this, I get a gazillion compliments, often asking what my perfume is. It's one of three perfumes I've ever fully gone through an entire bottle of."

Believe it or not, Zara is home to several designer dupes. Before I became a beauty editor with access to the finest fragrances out there, I wore Zara perfumes nearly every day. This Nude Bouquet scent in particular – with its dominant peony and vanilla notes – smells so similar to Miss Dior that people have genuinely mistaken it for the real thing.

Size: 100ml

One Cosmo editor says: After receiving Miss Dior as a gift and realising I couldn’t justify spending over £100 on a refill, I turned to this instead. It doesn’t have the exact same fruity top notes as the original, but the vanilla and floral base comes pretty freaking close – especially for just £20.. "

Everything from the scent profile to the blush-pink colourway feels familiar (though, let’s be real – Parfums de Marly’s version is basically a sculpture for your vanity), with floral, citrus, and just the right touch of vanilla. Delina is a celeb and editor fave for a reason, but if you’re not ready to drop £170 on a bottle (very fair), this Parfums de Marly-inspired pick totally delivers.

What shoppers are saying: "I’ve had the Delina before and actually had it in my cart to repurchase when I saw Oakcha's and decided to give it a try and OMG! Madame Rose doesn’t disappoint, I'm in love!"
