Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Violet Blonde #164 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Violet Blonde.

The Dupe Spot sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Violet Blonde's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as a perfume oil — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $36 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Violet Blonde — the cheapest of 4 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.
