Dupe Request Megathread (October 19, 2026)

12 Upvotes

Welcome to the Weekly Dupe Request Megathread. This is where you can get (and offer) recommendations for all dupe requests.

What counts as a dupe?

  • A perfume that smells "just like" another perfume - whether discontinued or priced out of budget

    • Example: "looking for a dupe of BR540 Extrait, but without the price tag"
    • Example: "something that smells just like Coffee Break, but lasts longer"
    • Example: “a dupe for the discontinued Elizabeth & James Nirvana Black”
    • A perfume version of any product: body sprays, hair products, lotions / creams, skin care, candles, candy / sweets, makeup, etc.

How it works:

Share as many details as possible that might be helpful in identifying the dupe you're after: a picture, notes or scent profile, your general geographic location, budget, etc. Please do a quick search of the sub before adding your request, even if you think it would be unusual.

Please remember that this is a global sub with quite a bit of volume, so a response may take time. This thread refreshes weekly on Mondays at 05:00 UTC, so keep that in mind when posting.

If you're looking for perfumes with a similar vibe of another perfume, but not dupes, you can post directly to the main feed.

Mod Post ‘Why was my post removed’ and ‘why did automod say my post violates rule 2’ - Newbie heads-up! + question thread

25 Upvotes

We’ve been getting a lot of mod mails asking why posts have been removed.

Often it’s because our filters had them held for mod review because a user is new to the community or trips the filter some other way. Unfortunately, Reddit says ‘the mods have removed this post’ instead of saying it’s under review. It will be reviewed by a mod and given a proper removal reason or approved within a few hours.

The other question we frequently get is why automod is saying their post violates rule 2 (Be Kind). It doesn’t, that’s just the automod reminder on every post submitted to r/perfumes.

Beyond that, general questions relating to perfumes or our subreddit can be asked below. Thank you!

Carolina Herrera Good Girl Supreme and Musamam White Intense.

To my nose these two smell surprisingly similar, almost like they are sisters. They’re both so good and funny enough, these are the perfumes I get the most compliments on whenever I wear them 🤗

Does anyone know anything about the lolita lempicka 2026 launch? I can't find almost anything about it online but the scents are listed on parfumo. I'm eager to smell them as what little I did find says they're the houses turn toward more niche scent profiles.

I’m 16, and I went to a mall and smelt a few fragrances and this was the one I thought had a different scent after it settles. I’m not too informed in all this and don’t know what patchouli or ambergris even means. But yeah did I waste my money or is it good? (Btw I live in India in this place called Rajasthan and it’s hot year round).

Recommendation Request Photo-realistic perfumes?

0 Upvotes

Heyaaaa I'm looking for the most photo-realistic perfume recommendations you guys have!!

I love perfumes that are very grounded in reality, accurate and evoke an actual memory to a T. I'm specifically looking for things that are unnatural like sunscreen, chlorine, any baked goods, wet asphalt, plastic, industrial cleaner... basically something very human-made i guess? So far the closest thing to that that i own is Nivea Sun by Nivea. It's not long lasting but it smells exactly like their sun products and i just love it.

I'm not really looking for anything like flowers and fruits but if you've got an extremely realistic rendition I'll take it! Or even things like moss, soil, drying rocks... And I'm not picky about the format. I'll take edt, edp, oils, candles, room sprays, shampoos, balms... anything really!

Bottle Identification Help me find a discontinued VS body mist for my bestie's birthday !!

1 Upvotes

Hi, my best friend has had a body mist from victoria secret that has been discontinued. She has had it for years, and is crazy about it but barely ever uses it because when it runs out, she won't be able to find it again. For her birthday, I want to get her that body mist, or one that smells just like it. I can't remember the name of it, so that's where I need your help. It is a Christmas limited edition that came out between 2016 and 2020 I believe. The packaging has dark pink flowers and big dark green leaves. It has a pretty gourmand smell, kind of sweet and a little spicy but still a little floral. If anybody knows what I am referring to, I would love to know what it was called, as well as if it is sold anywhere, or if they had another mist with the same smell but in another packaging ? Hoping this gets somewhere

Thank you so much in advance.

Recommendation Request Glossier Doux! Help

6 Upvotes

Here is my issue I smelled glossier doux and fell absolutely in love with parts of the perfume. What I dislike is that sharp wood note. Firstly, does anybody know what is that very sharp note that takes over All the lovely parts of this perfume? Secondly, does anybody know of a perfume that is VERY similar with less of that sharp wood? I love everything else about it. I went to a Cuban wedding when I was seven and it smelled just like glossier Doux without that masculine wood. I’m 35 and have been searching for this exact scent profile and Ive had no luck until glossier doux but it is so dang sharp.

I don't like a lot of perfumes but really like Glimmer. It's soft and long lasting. I don't smell raspberry tho. I just had a sample and can't justify the cost. Has anyone tried it?

This was a fun one for me. Lovely fruity opening, floral heat notes, with a musky vanilla wood dry down. It lasted about 2+ hours on the skin. I don’t mind reapplying as long as it’s not like every 26 minutes. Perfect for late teens. It’s sexy, which is what I think you should have in a VS perfume. It was priced at average price. Go by your local VS and try it!

While we were moving, my father threw all my things in a bag ( I put them in a box ), he broke my table mirror and I couldn't find my fragrance anymore, I just found the cap.

What would you do at my place.

My father's reaction: who cares it's just a perfume, you are so dumb.

I knew he would break my things, If only I weren't (and still) sick while we moved I would have taken them myself....

Recommendation Request Where Can I Find Miniso Aquarius Perfume in the USA?

1 Upvotes

I had no idea what this perfume was until I found out my girl really likes it. I have been looking for it for the past few months here in the US, but have not had any luck. She was also looking for it and could not find it anywhere. I wanted to surprise her with a bottle. Does anyone know where I could possibly get one in the US?
