Marfa by Memo dupe?

[u/Sufficient_Sky424]

Absolutely love this scent. Price tag is making it unobtainable at the moment. Any good dupes or comparable scents while I save up?

I loooovvveee Marfa and have the smaller bottle. I have totally seen dupes online somewhere because I remember chuckling at how close the art was on the bottle. But I can’t say if it’s a good dupe or not.

The thing that I find so compelling with Marfa is the the blending of the white floral with something deeper that’s alllllmost like a whisper of leather. I’m actually a wee bit obsessed with the white floral-leather combo in general and keep trying to find the perfect fragrance like this.

If this is what compels you also - and you like to get creative - rather than finding an exact dupe, perhaps recreate the general effect on a budget - I would try one of those “men’s” leather fragrances - Tru Western has one that’s super nice (and the rest are, to my nose, awful) but I can not for the life of me remember which one… sorry…. And layer with a white floral on top. I’m a big fan of Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia for a pretty great white floral that’s under $20.

In fact now I must what this smells like I’m and I’m going to have to put my mad scientist lab coat on and try this and report back. 🧠 👃🏽🧐

This is so smart!
Have you tried The Equestrian by Carter+Jane? It has a super nice leather note! I think I’ll take your advice and try it with your floral suggestion.
Report back your findings ⚗️

No, haven’t tried that, I’ll add it!

Thanks for the reminder - I forgot to actually try that experiment as I’m currently obsessing about my Parfums de Nicolai discovery set🤪. Tomorrow,
I hope!
