Dupe vs original · live per ml
Is the dupe still the value buy?
Each pair tracks an affordable dupe against the original it stands in for, by the lowest live price per millilitre on each side. The ratio is how many times more the original costs per ml today; the read compares that ratio with the range we have recorded for the pair. A narrow gap means the original is as close to the dupe as it gets; a wide one means the dupe is doing the work it exists to do.
| Pair | Dupe per ml | Original per ml | Ratio | Today's read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man vs Creed Aventus | $0.38/ml | $2.50/ml | 6.6× | Gap near its widest: dupe is the value |
| Lattafa Khamrah vs Kilian Angels' Share | $0.40/ml | $2.40/ml | 6.0× | Gap near its narrowest: original is close |
| Mancera Instant Crush vs Baccarat Rouge 540 | $0.66/ml | $2.35/ml | 3.6× | Too little history to call |
- Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man vs Creed Aventus
Club de Nuit Intense Man is the fragrance community's most-cited affordable stand-in for Creed Aventus; that reputation is theirs, not ours, since we compare prices and have smelled neither. What we can measure is the gap between the two on live price per millilitre, and where today's gap sits against the range we have recorded.
- Lattafa Khamrah vs Kilian Angels' Share
Khamrah is widely named in the fragrance community as the budget counterpart to Kilian's Angels' Share; that pairing is the community's judgement, not a scent claim of ours. This page tracks the one thing we can verify: what each actually costs per millilitre right now, and how wide the gap between them runs.
- Mancera Instant Crush vs Baccarat Rouge 540
Instant Crush is one of the niche alternatives named alongside Baccarat Rouge 540 in fragrance discussion; that comparison belongs to the community, not to us, since we compare prices and have smelled neither. Mancera is a house in its own right rather than a clone label, so this is a cheaper alternative rather than an imitation. What we can measure is what each costs per millilitre right now, and where today's gap sits against the range we have recorded.
How the ratio is read
Both sides use the same figure: the lowest live price per millilitre across every store we track, full bottles only. The ratio is the original's per-ml price divided by the dupe's. It is read against the pair's own recorded range, not against a fixed threshold, because a 5× gap is ordinary for one pair and extreme for another. A pair with too few days on which both sides had a price is marked as such rather than called.
Prices are the last ones we observed; the record for these pairs begins Jul 25, 2026. We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this site. It never changes your price or how we rank offers.
More pairs are added as both sides build enough price history to compare honestly.
