Perfumes dupes aren't all they're cracked up to be—here's why you should think twice before investing

Perfume dupes - line-up of fragrance bottles.

The concept of beauty 'dupes' can be quite a divisive topic among many of us beauty editors—you’ll find people firmly in the love them or hate them camp. When it comes to the best perfumes, I find that it gets even spicier when the topic of conversation comes up. Some people think dupes of perfumes are great and others are completely against them. 

While I'm all for affordable perfumes, I’m very much in the camp of not loving the concept of dupes, but totally understanding why people buy into them. I’m someone who hates exclusivity. I want everyone to be able to access even the most luxurious perfumes, no matter their financial situation.
