So, Finery. It’s a Target brand, right? And the whole *thing* is, they make perfumes that are supposed to smell like those super expensive, bougie fragrances that cost like, half a paycheck. And the kicker? Finery’s stuff is only like, $30 a bottle. I mean, come on!
Everyone’s been all over TikTok (naturally) saying they’ve nailed the dupes. Like, allegedly, they’ve got stuff that smells just like Black Opium, Chanel Chance, even freakin’ Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. I’m not kidding, the claims are wild.
Now, lemme be real with you. I haven’t personally smelled *every single one* of these dupes. I mean, who has the time, ya know? But I’ve read a ton of reviews and, honestly, it’s a mixed bag. Some people swear they’re spot-on, like, “OMG, I can’t tell the difference!” And others are like, “Nah, it’s close, but not *quite* there. There’s something… off.”
Honestly, I kinda think it depends on your nose. Some people are just more sensitive to nuances in scents than others. Me? I can barely tell the difference between a fancy perfume and a body spray sometimes, lol. (Don’t judge!).
But, okay, so you want a list, right? Like, what supposedly dupes what? Well, the internet seems to think these are some of the big ones, but seriously, do your own research. Don’t just take my word for it (or anyone else’s on the internet, for that matter!).
* Black Opium: Apparently, Finery has a dupe for this, though I’m not sure exactly *which* one. You gotta dig around online for that intel, sorry!
* Chanel Chance: Same deal as above. They *allegedly* have a Chance dupe.
* Tom Ford Soleil Blanc: Again, supposed to be a good one, but find the specific dupe name.
I saw one article mentioning “Without A Trace Eau De Parfum” from Finery and talking about dupes *for that*. So, it gets confusing, because sometimes people are looking for dupes *of* Finery, not dupes *by* Finery. Catch my drift?
Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to go to Target and smell them for yourself. I know, I know, it’s a pain, and apparently they’re hard to find on the shelves (classic!), but it’s the only way you’ll know if you actually like them.
And, hey, even if they’re not *perfect* dupes, $30 for a decent-smelling perfume isn’t the worst deal in the world, right? I mean, think of all the lattes you could buy with the money you save! Just sayin’.
