Frequently asked questions
How is this different from other dupes I've tried?
Most dupes use synthetic ingredients. Cheaper. Easier. But they fade fast and smell a little off.We do three things they don't:
- Source natural ingredients from Grasse (same place as designer brands)
- Formulate at 20% EDP concentration (most dupes are 8-12%)
- Let it macerate for weeks so the scent actually settles
That's the difference. Not a secret formula. Just not cutting corners.
Why is it so cheap if you're using the real ingredients?
Fair question. Two reasons.One, we're not a big brand.
No celebrities in our ads.
No stores in fancy malls.
No marketing team burning through millions.
We sell direct to you
Two, we're not buying finished perfume from someone else and marking it up. We handle the sourcing, formulation, and maceration ourselves.
Cuts out a bunch of middlemen.The ingredients cost what they cost.
We just don't add the 800% luxury tax on top.
What does 20% EDP concentration actually mean?
EDP stands for Eau de Parfum. It's how much actual perfume oil is in the bottle.Cheap body sprays are like 1-3%. Most dupes are 8-12%. Designer perfumes hit 15-20%.We're at 20%. More oil, less alcohol. That's why one spray lasts 8 to 12 hours instead of fading by lunch.
What's this maceration thing you keep talking about?
Okay so after you mix perfume, you're supposed to let it sit.
For weeks.
The oils need time to blend together.
To stop fighting each other and become one smooth scent.Cheap brands skip this.
They mix and ship the same week.
That's why some dupes smell weird at first or have a harsh alcohol smell.
We let ours sit until it's ready.
Takes longer.
But you can smell the difference.
Does it actually last all day?
Yeah. 12+ hours for most people.But here's why.
It's not magic.
It's the combination of natural oils (which stick to skin better than synthetics) plus the 20% concentration (more perfume, less filler) plus proper maceration (so the base notes actually anchor the scent).
Put it on in the morning.
Still get compliments at dinner.
No need to carry the bottle around.
Where exactly do your ingredients come from?
Grasse, France. Small town in the south.
Been making perfume for 400 years
This is where Chanel, Dior, and all the big houses source their jasmine, rose, lavender, and other key ingredients.
The farmers there have been growing this stuff for generations.
We work with the same suppliers.
Same fields.
Same quality.
We just don't put a designer label on the bottle.
What if I hate it?
You get your money back.
All of it.
Our guarantee is simple: if we don't make you smell expensive, we don't want your money
No weird return process.
No attitude.
No "store credit only" nonsense.
Just a refund.
You can even keep the bottle.
Seriously.
Is the bottle cheap looking?
Nope.
Glass cylinder.
Has some weight to it.
Black magnetic cap.
Looks clean on your dresser.
We spent time on this because we know you don't want to hide your perfume in a drawer.
It should sit next to your other nice stuff without looking out of place.
How do I know which scent to pick?
Each scent page tells you what designer perfume it matches and breaks down the notes.
Top notes (what you smell first), heart notes (the middle), and base notes (what lingers).
If you already know what designer scent you love, just find our version.
If you're not sure, start with our bestseller Scent Suite Nº1 inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540.
It's the one that got us started and still the one people reorder most.
