The sun is glowing, the cocktails are being shaken and the ambience is rocking. Beaches are packed, social calendars are overflowing and holidayers are jet setting off to idyllic locations. Before we know it, the leaves will descend from the trees turning vibrant shades of auburn. We'll be kicking off winter festivities and welcoming another year.
All of this is still very far ahead though and there's still plenty of the year left to be enjoyed. Regardless of what time of the year it is, you will no doubt always want a great value bargain! So here's our list of the best perfume clones of 2022, that is the top imitation scents that are currently available in 2022. For each of the original designer fragrances mentioned, we've included both a clone and a smell-a-like.
Clones, a.k.a dupes are replicas of fragrances that imitate their smells by using identical or almost identical ingredients.
Smell-a-likes on the other hand, either bear some resemblance to the original perfume or remind you of it because they share one or more ingredients. Despite any likeness, a smell-a-like will still have distinguishing features that set it apart from the other perfume as it wasn't created to be a replica, they just happen to have similarities.
This list of great value perfumes has been compiled based on factors such as similarity to the original scent, cost of a bottle, the fragrance wear time, quality of the ingredients and overall smell.
