SHOP: The Best M&S Perfume Dupes List

Best Le Labo Santal 33 dupe

A total cult classic, the Marks & Spencer answer to Le Labo's iconic Santal 33 has gone viral on TikTok. Fans can expect heady notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood for a comforting, warming blend that shares many similarities to its high-end counterpart. It's the same size as Le Labo too, yet costs almost £150 less. We call that a win.

Beauty editor Rachael says: 'I'm a huge Le Labo fan, so wasn't totally certain I could be swayed by M&S's offering. How wrong I was - the similarity is undeniable. Just a light misting coats skin in those iconic, warming notes. My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to linger on the skin for quite as long as Le Labo. But for only £12, I'm not too mad. Would recommend.'

Shop the Highstreet version for £12 or the OG Le Labo 33, for £170.

Pros

  • Excellent value for money
  • Similar chic, minimalist packaging

Cons

  • Not as long lasting

Best Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist Dupe

We all know and love the viral fragrance from Sol de Janeiro. The Brazilian Crush Perfume Mist, £18, is summer in a bottle with notes of vanilla, pistachio, almond and salted caramel. Marks & Spencer's White Coconut blends together coconut, vanilla and amber to give the original summer scent a run for its money.

Pros

  • Fans say it reels in the compliments
  • Can be unisex

Cons

  • Might take regular reapplication
  • Only available as an EDT

Best Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Dupe

Coco Mademoiselle - and its high street counterpart Soft Iris - are precisely what you're after if you're looking for a breath of fresh air in a bottle. Both scents are citrusy, with base notes of amber and patchouli, topped off by bergamot and orange blossom. Shop Soft Iris for £10 orCoco Mademoiselle for £70.40.

Pros

  • Good value for money
  • Sweet without being overwhelming

Cons

  • Some say it's not quite a close match to its designer counterpart as they would like

Best Calvin Klein Women dupe

As the first fragrance ever created by Raf Simons, Calvin Klein Women holds a special place in our hearts - as does its £10 counterpart. With corresponding notes of orange, lemon and Alaskan cedar, both scents are spicy, fresh and utterly addictive. Grab the M&S dupe, orCalvin Klein Women for £32.25.

Pros

  • 188 reviews and counting averaging at 5 stars
  • Vegan
  • Scent can be layered

Cons

  • Some say they packaging 'isn't their favourite.'

YSL Black Opium Dupe

Few scents have as much impact as YSL's Black Opium, which is why we were delighted to find the - wait for it - £10 version at M&S. Sharing notes of soft jasmine florals, with deeper, musky undertones, these fragrances are as delicate as they are sensual. Shop M&S's (jaw-dropping) £10 dupe, or the genuine article YSL's Black Opium for £53.60.

Pros

  • Good sized bottle
  • Cruelty free

Cons

  • Frequently sells out

Best Marc Jacobs Daisy Dupe

A Grazia beauty desk favourite, expect rich notes of vanilla and sandalwood combined with sweet, flowery top notes of gardenia and grapefruit. TikTok creators have been comparing this one to Marc Jacob’s Daisy, £73 with one user saying that they 'just couldn't tell the difference.' High praise.

Pros

  • One of the closest dupes, according to reviews
  • Excellent value

Cons

  • Bottle has been described as too heavy

Best Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne Dupe

Revealing notes of sea salt and clove, Sea Salt & Neroli from M&S is a dead-ringer for the award-winning Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone. Both fragrances are refreshing, earthy, and a must-add addition to the collection of any fragrance-ophile. Shop the £12.50 dupe, orJo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt for £118.

Pros

  • Vegan
  • Cruelty free
  • Unisex

Cons

  • Often sells out

Best Armani Si dupe

If you’re after a sweet, lingering scent then look no further. Red Berries and Rose is brimming with notes of red berries, rose and freesia, and smells beautifully similar to Armani’s Si, £67 which also shares similarly juicy notes – think blackcurrant, freesia and rose. Airy, soft, and perfect for autumn and winter.

Pros

  • Vegan
  • Cruelty free

Cons

  • One reviewer has described it as 'overpowering.'

Best Carolina Herrera Good Girl Dupe

One of our all-time favourite scents is Carolina Herrera's Good Girl. Reminiscent of 'a hot party,' the blend of jasmine and orange blossom aroma makes this scent as fun as it is frivolous. Nearly identical in scent is Fresh Mandarin from M&S, which also contains notes of vanilla, almond milk and musk. Shop the uncanny M&S £10 version, or Carolina Herrera's Good Girl, £92 instead.

Pros

  • Cruelty free
  • Vegan

Cons

  • Often sells out

Best Paco Rabanne Lady Million Dupe

At one point, Paco Rabanne's Lady Million was the only scent we were wearing; the ultimate femme-fatale fragrance, with notes of honey and patchouli. Similarly alluring is M&S's Warm Neroli, evoking top notes of bergamot, with base notes of earth dry-down musk. The result? An irresistible scent, you can't get enough of. Grab Warm Neroli for £10 orLady Million for £71.

Pros

  • Not overpowering

Cons

  • Well need frequent reapplication

What Are M&S Perfumes Copies Of?

GraziaBeauty EditorRachael Martinsays, 'I've said it before, but I have a lot of thoughts when it comes to dupes - especially when it comes to those on the high street such as the M&S perfume copies. A good place to start? You shouldn't expect an exact copy. Budget perfumescan'treplicate high-end counterparts. That said? Well, there's no denying they can be similar. If you're reigning back on your spending and don't mind more regular reapplications then our edit of the best M&S perfume dupes could well be useful.'

Our favourite M&S perfume copy is the Marc Jacobs Daisy dupe, M&S' Gardenia and Vanilla, at only £12.50.
