Affordable Alternatives to Popular Expensive Perfumes | Less Expensive & Easier to Find Fragrances

[@ThePerfumeNest]

As I say in the video...this is Part One of a series I plan on doing because I have SO MUCH material for this video category. If you have any similar affordable options for expensive designer/niche fragrances...let me know about them! Thanks for stopping by!!!

[@elissacaddy2216]

I really like Tihota Vanilla. A great more affordable option of a perfume that smells like Tihota is KYSE Bon Bon a la Vanille. Smells like a vanilla cookie. It’s not a dupe but similar. & it’s very nice.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

@@elissacaddy2216 that is one of the few Kyse I don’t own!! ❤️

[@ThePerfumeNest]

@@elissacaddy2216 That’s what Vanilla Musk smells like to me! 👏🏻 So there is another road to Tihota Land besides Vanilla Musk? 😂

[@dawnyakathem5374]

I love affordable dupes videos. Some from my personal collection that I have tried side by side are Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming = Ajmal Shine. Prada Candy Kiss= Lattafa Pure Musk. Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotic= Fleur de Orientica. Memo Sintra = Melodie de Orientica. Xerjoff Dama Bianca= Junoon Noir Alharamain. Tom Ford Soliel Blanc = Korloff Gold. Kayali Deja Vu = St DuPont pure bloom. Valentino Donna Noir Absolue= Elizabeth Arden 5th Ave Royale. MFK BR 540 extrait= Orientica Amber Rouge. Creed Adventus Her= alharamain Laventur femme. Also one that is pretty close but not a dupe dupe, like 65-70% is Xerjoff Lira=Lattafa Pride Nebras. I have both and they smell alike and give the same vibe and I honestly love both the same and their price ranges are worlds apart.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Wow!!! Thank you so much! I have or have tried a few of these! Wonderful suggestions! 🙏🏻❤️

[@pkswafford]

I have several of the alternative fragrances: Guess Seductive Noir (LOVE), Franck Boclet Vanille, Vanilla Musk, Rihanna Rogue and will definitely consider getting others (Jawhara appeals to me). The great thing about alternatives is that you can build a diverse fragrance wardrobe without a huge investment. Once I started exploring fragrances I knew I would never again be someone who had single signature scent, so inexpensive alternatives let me play the field! I can't wait to hear about the others.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Wow we are scent sisters! Have so many similar ones! You obviously have fabulous taste Paula! 😂👏🏻😉

[@ScentSiblingsDotCA]

It's so funny: I don't remember what I ate or what I wore yesterday, but when I smell a fragrance that I've smelled something similar to in the past TWO YEARS, I can find the sample INSTANTLY. Priorities, eh?

[@HappinessSparkles]

Total priorities 😅

[@jessicaharrison4719]

I mean, scent is closely tied to memory, so that makes sense.

[@ScentSiblingsDotCA]

Oooh! Franck Boclet Vanille!!! YOU made me buy that. It's stunning. It does last longer than Lira. Period. I've been looking for information on Tihota!! And BLAM! The universe hears me and here you are! Vanilla Musk by Neemat, you say? I'm ON IT!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Blam!!! Omg! I almost spit out my coffee!!! 😂Girl don’t even THINK about about Tihota! Just do the magic combo and BLAM! You’re in Tihota town! 🤣I’m considering decluttering Tihota for that reason. I don’t need it.

If there are people like me who cannot have Bath and Body Works (in France for ex). 👋 When I smelled BR last week in Paris (finallyyy) and still today on my cards, the most dupest dupe of all dupes existing in the dupes for BR540 is called "L'Empreinte" by Courrèges. The most recent version, the red bottle. ❤ THEY-ARE-THE-SAME. Litterally the same. And so I am really happy bcs I would never pay the price for BR540. But L'Empreinte is way more affordable. It's not a cheapie, but it is at a fraction of the price of MFK. So people, JUMP on this. This is litterally his twin. And it smells as heavenly. And the bottle is really classy, and it is a real perfume. Forget Cloud, forget Burberry Her. L'Empreinte is THE dupe. I know that if I want "my BR540", I'll get my L'Empreinte ^^ If you wanna check, Chris, trust me you'll think the same as me ;)

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Thank you so much my dear!!! Hopefully ppl will see your comments and check it out. I had NO IDEA BBW wasn’t in France?🫢😮I figured they were everywhere!!! 🤦‍♀️I know ppl in other countries who can get it. Maybe someday…it’s an unbelievable store.

@@ThePerfumeNest well they are in some shops in Europe, I went to one in Milan one day. But not in France hehe. And on Notino it is really expensive and you pay the delivery. So yeah people, hear my words, buy L'Empreinte and you'll be happy 😂🤗 (The BBW big candles were so trendy when I was a teenager, I was dying to buy one 😂. So much that when I went there I bought the "Warm Vanilla Sugar". I NEVER burn it, I never burn any candle basically, but I have it. My teenage me is proud of me 🤣🤣🤣)

Nice video, and looking forward to the continuations! A couple that I've heard of recently is Fashionably London by Zara for Delina/Exclusive, and Vanagloria by Laboratorio Olfattivo for Babycat. I have a sample of that one on its way to see if I like it, since I live in the states and it would be difficult to get Baby at, anyway. And those two have the same perfumer as well.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hi Sarah! I gave Fashionably London to my daughter because I felt the same! I can show that next time. And I ordered a bottle of Vanagloria for that exact reason. I should do a head to head comparison. Thanks!! 🥰🥰🥰😉

[@susanbohm3601]

Hi Chris! I think I mentioned to you that while not an exact dupe, Franck Boclet Sugar might be a good alternative to EBK Ruby N Vanilla. It’s not as sweet as but very similar in my opinion and probably half the price if not even less.

[@jerilowehowell6015]

Really love these kinds of videos. Thank you! I will give you another SPOT ON dupe (side by side I cannot tell the diff.) for BR540: Manège Rouge (Al Haramain) for around $70-100 on the high side. I am addicted to the latter and had not even smelled the former until someone said it was a dead on twin for it. So I purchased a small sample to see out of curiosity and yes, it is indeed a dupe (but I'm addicted to M.R so don't need the pricey BR540). Interestingly enough, on another note, I find that Seductive Noir does not stay on me like Mon Guerlain does (all day). Go figure! But it's very nice and will likely get some for myself at some point (but not to replace M.G. which I do love). Thanks again for the great video!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Thanks for the lovely recommendation! I’ve always loved the bottle of Manege but never tried the juice!! And I’m going to declutter Seductive Noir also as I have Mon Guerlain also and love it. They are just too similar…..

[@blaiseroa5022]

The best BR540 dupes that I came across with are Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge or Amber Oud Ruby and Orientica Amber Rouge. I also have a dupe of Libre Intense from Albait

[@judywilliamson2068]

One of the questions that has always plagued me is how long do these fragrances last? My daughter had a huge perfume collection and she offloaded 10 different bottles on me and I’ve been happily going through them and they all smell fine. She seems to think they were old. Now I do buy very old fragrances at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Love to run across them! Because you’re scent warmer is a great place to reuse these. I usually get a cheap vanilla or slightly spicy wax and then I pour the perfume in with the wax and wow I get some great fragrances in my home! But I often wonder just how long are some of these supposed to last? I know perfume has a much longer shelf life however the toilet’s I am especially unsure of. If you could address this question in one of your videos I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.

[@1babbles1]

@Judy Williamson, I have never thought of adding perfume to candle wax. What a great idea!!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Wow!! How creative are you with the candle wax? You just made yourself a wax burner!! Longevity is almost 100% tied to storage. Away from light, heat and humidity as these are the killers of a perfumes longevity.

[@gigracer]

Have you compared Shay & Blue Salt Caramel with Blue Turquoise? I’m curious if they have any similarities given the salt and caramel notes. I have Salt Caramel and love it, so if it’s similar to Blue Turquoise, I’d be tempted to remove Blue Turquoise from my wish list. Another close alternative is Dolce & Gabbana The Only One Intense for Tom afford Rouge Malachite. Even though the notes appear to be a little dissimilar, they are probably 90-95% similar. I have both and find myself reaching for the D&G one instead of TF as I like the coconut & coffee notes and it can be worn year round, whereas I sometimes find the TF cloying in the heat

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hi there! Salt Caramel Is extremely different than Blue Turquoise. Not even in the same hemisphere….IMHO. The former is totally gourmand and the latter a very salty aquatic take on vanilla.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

However….that MAISSA fragrance I talk about is remarkably to the GA Blu Turquoise. And if you use my 30% off code SOOO much more affordable.

"Orange blossom for orange blossom haters" haha you made my day. I am an orange blossom lover by the way. Love me some white flowers. Today I am wearing TDC Une nuit Magnetic, amazing sweet scent.

Wonderful video as always Chris!! I have never heard of Maissa and am looking forward to checking out their site and offerings!! Thanks for sharing! PS I am supposed to find my Step Dad a fragrance for Christmas and the only info my Mom would share is that she wants me to find something “strong and that she can actually smell”. I tried pushing for more info to narrow down a scent profile and she had no guidance to provide on what she likes (he doesnt care about fragrance at all, its for her to enjoy) 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ How is the projection on Moustache EDP??

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hi Allison!! Moustache is not a beast. Your mom might be disappointed. 😂

[@PrettyPrettyWarpaint]

@@ThePerfumeNest well shoot! I still am going to try it at some point! Have you ever tried Gaultier 2? Altimir by Lapidus is reviewed as a recommended close alternative.

Have the BBW discontinued the cream called fairytale? Is the cream being sold on Amazon genuine? I appreciate your reply thank you

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I don’t EVER buy perfumes on Amazon because there are SO many fakes. I don’t know about the body creams. It depends on the seller. I would read their reviews.

[@rlim1839]

Amazing reviews as ever, thank you!! Can I ask if you have tried any perfumes from Panouge Paris? Their Matieres Libres line intrigues me, after hearing a great KZbin review of Patchouli Figue in one of Monica Cioch recent vids I'm tempted to blind buy it. I'm also interested in Datura Amaretti too. I believe the company send out discovery sets for free (only postage paid) I should probably try them first, but was wondering if your expert nose had come across any of these yet? Thanks so much again for all your wise input on our favourite, albeit expensive, hobby 😜🥰 xx

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hi there! I have Datura Amaretti …and it’s a love hate thing. Even sampled first. I got a sample included with an order somewhere. But if they are sending out samples for free….that’s amazing!!! You should get those and test them!! I mean…that is such a great deal. I have the others sitting in a pile of neglected samples and I need to change that. 🤦‍♀️

[@rlim1839]

@@ThePerfumeNest oh wow, ok fab! I knew you'd have one of their perfumes 😁 Best I try Dattura Amaretti first then 👍Yeah I should get the discovery set, I'm in the UK so postage won't be too bad from France. If you do get around to getting your nose on Patchouli Figue I'd be so grateful to hear your thoughts 🙏👃 Thanks again!! 😘 xx

I sampled Sunny Side Up and I just can’t get past the coconut. I was loving Mickey by HOS during the pandemic and then recently the thought of smelling coconut makes me feel ill. I’m so bummed. I’m hoping it will pass 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh bummer! I love coconut but that has happened to me also!! Yes I can detect that coconut note . It’s like Milky Musk with a shot of coconut and ambroxan. 😉❤️

Does anyone know of a less expensive alternative to an already affordable Glossed You? I just paid $10. For a tiny sample and I love it. Also is there an alternative for Fleur Burlesque or the one that sounds like Quasimodo? Thank you very much I love to watch these ! Its my Sunday afternoon treat

Aw hi Lisa! Thanks for the lovely comment!! I’m not sure about either but I was pretty happy getting Glossier You on their website for 50$?

I love in the stars. The first tiMe I had it was in 2021 but I felt like when I bought it again in 2022 the formula changed and now it smells much more artificial cheap and almost like rubbing alcohol.
