From what I’m seeing floating around online, the scent profile is giving off big “Gypsy Water” vibes. We’re talkin’ bergamot, black pepper, and this woody, almost kinda incense-y Hinoki wood. Think fancy candle shop, but you can wear it. Which, you know, is a definite upgrade.
Now, is it a PERFECT match? Probably not. But for the price difference? You’re talking like, $30 for Fine’ry versus, like, a gazillion dollars (okay, $135+) for Chanel Chance (which *someone* said it also dupes?). My wallet is already weeping with gratitude at the thought.
And it makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Is it even *possible* to perfectly replicate a high-end fragrance? I mean, they probably use, like, unicorn tears and stuff in those designer perfumes. Or maybe not. I don’t know. But I kinda doubt Target has a unicorn tears budget.
Someone also threw out the idea that it might be trying to mimic the Salt & Stone deodorant. Now *that’s* interesting. I mean, I haven’t personally smelled that deodorant (add it to the list, I guess?), but if it’s going for that same earthy-yet-fresh thing, it could be plausible.
And honestly, with Fine’ry, it’s kinda a free-for-all. They got dupes for *everything*. Chanel, Byredo, Le Labo… it’s a veritable fragrance buffet. So, like, if you dig “Mysterious Nomad” but it’s *not quite* scratching that itch, maybe browse the rest of their offerings. You might stumble across something totally unexpected that you love.
