Why This Site Exists

In 2025, a single bottle of Baccarat Rouge 540, Delina Exclusif, or Lost Cherry can cost $350–$600. Most of us can’t (and shouldn’t) spend that every month — yet we still want to smell incredible.

We started ScentClones because we were tired of overpaying for hype, blind-buy regrets, and “almost-but-not-quite” clones that disappear after two hours.

What Makes Us Different

Every single ranking on this site follows the same strict, no-BS criteria:

  • 95 %+ similarity — if people can’t tell the difference in a blind test, it doesn’t make the list
  • 6–12+ hour longevity — no skin-scents or two-hour wonders
  • Under $60 — real savings, not “budget” $120 niche clones
  • Zero sponsorships — no brand has ever paid to be included (and never will)

We pull data from the largest fragrance communities on the internet — Reddit (r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones), TikTok (#PerfumeDupe has 5.2 billion views), and Fragrantica’s “This reminds me of” section — then test the top contenders ourselves.

How We Test & Rank

Every post is built the same way:

  1. Collect the top 30–40 clones mentioned online in 2025
  2. Blind-buy the top 15–20
  3. Compare side-by-side with the original (on skin, on clothes, in heat and cold)
  4. Rank purely by similarity %, projection, longevity, and value
  5. Publish the full table + honest mini-reviews

No guesswork. No paid placements. Just the truth.

Who’s Behind This?

A fragrance addict who’s spent thousands testing clones since 2020 — and finally decided to share the wins (and warn about the losses) with everyone else.
