items I LOVE BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCES. I love the beautiful bottles, the gorgeous scents, the way they evoke memories of people and places. But I don't have the equivalent of a mortgage payment to spend on them. I truly believe that you can find a pretty goo...

If Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato is your scent, you can get the clone that is actually stronger, lasts longer and has better projection in Lattafa's Affection for around $30
Affection Lattafa
Kayali's Yum Pistachio Gelato's 1:1 is Affection by Lattafa, but in my opinion, Paris Corner's Khair Pistachio is even better than the original. There is something in it that gives it a sweeter, smoother finish.

If Giardini Di Toscana's Bianco Latte is your girl, Vanilla Voyage is the one you want. There are SO MANY dupes of this fragrance, but this one is by far the best and even better than the original. It's buttery, caramel, vanilla fragrance is made for a woman, not a girl who wants to smell like chocolate chip cookies. And it is absolutely amazing for layering with other scents.

Eclaire is more of an exact dupe of Bianco Latte than Vanilla Voyage. But this one will last longer and project better than Bianco Latte.
Eclaire Lattafa
Blanche Bete from Les Liquides Imaginaires is one of the most angelic scents. It's got a beautiful, sweet, milky, floral scent, and it’s just so good. But if it's not going to be your signature scent, Her Confession by Lattafa smells 95% similar to ...

If you want to smell like a delicious summer snack without spending $$$$, Don't reach for D&G Devotion, get Al Absar Shanoon Elixer. Shanoon wears 10x longer, projects 10x better, and only costs $30 of Giftexpress.com vs $140 for the OG. You'll smell like a freshly baked lemon pound cake, but in a grown up way.

Victoria is another D&G Devotion inspiration. It has a beautiful, zesty scent of lemon meringue pie with a touch of neroli and a base of soft vanilla. It is perfect for spring and summer.

Mancera's Amore Caff is such a warm, sweet, chocolate scent with notes of Amaretto, Coffee; Ice cream, Biscuit, Vanilla, Brown sugar and Amber. You'll smell like the best snack all day because it lasts so much longer than the original.
Tiramisu Coco by Zimaya
Burberry Goddess is the best scent the fashion house has ever released…I said what I said. It is absolutely divine, almost ethereal. HOWEVER…It doesn't last. But Angham? Angham is even better than the original. It lasts all day, smells and projects better. Let's also not forget that you can usually get it for under $40.
Angham Lattafa
Kayali's Capri In A Bottle Is a phenomenal Lemon Gourmand scent. But I don't wear it enough to spend $100 on it. So I don't. Instead I buy Lemon Candy in Capri from The Dua Brand.

Floral
If you are a lover of the flowers, whether light and airy or rich and opulent, these fragrances will absolutely delight you.
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid is my absolute favorite scent from the Flora line. It's such a beautiful, feminine, and unique floral gourmand fragrance with top notes of vanilla, middle notes of vanilla orchid, with ozonic base notes. It's got moderate sillage and longevity which makes it great for everyday wear. The price tag for a 1 oz bottle is $130. But you can get the same scent profile with a longer wear time from Lattafa Atheeri. While I love this bottle and presentation, it gives the thought that it is a honey fragrance, but there is not any notes of honey in it, so don't let that deter you. It's a gorgeous, scent that will seriously make you feel so pretty when you wear it.

Kayali's Wedding Silk Santal is one of the most romantic scents I've ever experienced. It's soft, beautiful, and just smells like love. But if you don't want to spend $100 for it, Paris Corner Khair Felicity is the perfect option, and in my opinion, better than the original. It opens with a luminous burst of sweet florals and subtle fruits, delicately blended to enchant the senses without overwhelming them. As the scent settles, a velvety heart of creamy woods and soft musks begins to unfold, evoking feelings of warmth, ... This fragrance is just stunning.

Amouage's Guidance is rich, creamy, and addictive without being heavy. It's a perfect balance of soft florals and grounding woods and it was beautifully crafted…It also costs $380. That's not in my price range, so I set out to find the very closest alternative that I could buy and still sleep well at night. Julianna's Perfume's is spot on, down to the nuclear projection and sillage. Top notes: Pear, Hazlenut, Olibanum / Heart notes: Osmanthus, Rose, Saffron, Jasmine Sambac / Base notes: Sandalwood, Vanilla, Akigalawood, Ambergris, Labdanum
Guiding Light
As Amouage Guidance dupes go, I find Julianna's version the closest, but they are a small batch company and are out of stock occasionally. The Dua Brand's version is nearly perfect. I'd say 98.9% clone-worthy. It is a lasting scent that is certainly worthy of being a signature scent.

Xerjoff Dama Bianca is a beautifully feminine fragrance fusion of citrus, florals, and creamy vanilla woods. It may not dominate a room, but its graceful, close-proximity charm has earned devoted fans who appreciate ethereal, intimate scents. The price tag: $120. If that's not your speed, you can get the same, ethereal scent from Al Haramain's Junoon Noir. DON'T LET THE BOTTLE INTIMIDATE YOU. Junoon Noir is stronger than the OG so if the love the smell of Dama Bianca but want more than a skin scent, Junoon Noir will give you exactly what you are looking for. Top Notes: a bright, juicy burst of kumquat and lime, lending a sparkling, fresh ...

Fruity Floral
Fruity floral fragrances combine the sweetness of fruit with the delicate aroma of flowers. They're typically vibrant, fresh, and playful, with a soft, romantic floral backdrop. They are known for being light, cheerful, and versatile for everyday wea... If that's what you're looking for then, follow me and let's pick some out for you.
If you love Bvlgari Baciami but don't have or won't spend the $300 on the pricetag, check out Lattafa Gharam. All in all, it is the best dupe I have found. The projection and lasting power is pretty fantastic as wll.

Fresh
If you love all the freshies, or just want to smell like a beach vacation, then you've probably swooned over Kayali's Maui In A Bottle 37. It really does smell like sun warmed skin slathered in the best tanning oil. It's blissful. But the pricetag? Not so blissful. Luckily, The Dua Brand has created the masterpiece of replica of it but it's under $35. Better Performance and $100 less that the original? Yes, Please!

Woody
Woody fragrances are scents derived from wood, trees, and other natural woody elements. They evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and sophistication, often featuring notes like sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver, and patchouli. When you need to feel calm an...
Le Labo Thé Matcha 26 is a beautifully executed fragrance that combines the warmth and earthiness of woody notes of cedar and vetiver with the freshness and complexity of aromatic notes of matcha tea and fig. It's a beautiful skin scent is great for everyday wear of on those relaxed days when you just need to feel grounded. HOWEVER…it comes at a steep price of $335. If that is an immediate no for you, you can get an even better execution of the fragrance (IMO) from Dossier's Citrus Matcha for around $50. To me, it projects better than Matcha 26 while still remaining a skin scent and it also wears longer than the original as well
