On paper, Bleu de Chanel is a reasonable bet if you want Bleu de Chanel for less.

Copycat Fragrances lists 3 of the 9 notes in Bleu de Chanel's pyramid — grapefruit, lemon and mint. What it does not list: ginger, nutmeg, jasmine and incense.

At $29 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Bleu de Chanel — the 8th cheapest of 19 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
