The Best Women's Perfume Dupes Australia 2026
1. Carolina Herrera Good Girl Dupe — Lie 110 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$185 AUD
Good Girl is one of the most successful women's fragrance launches of the last decade — and its instantly recognisable stiletto bottle has become as iconic as the scent itself. But it's the fragrance that earned the following: a bold, dark, oriental-floral built around jasmine and tuberose over a deep base of cacao, tonka bean, and sandalwood. It's warm, a little seductive, and has a richness that makes it feel genuinely luxurious.
Good Girl splits opinion the way all interesting fragrances do — it's not trying to be universally liked, and it's better for it. It leans sweet and bold rather than fresh and safe. The result is a fragrance that's memorable, confident, and genuinely distinctive on skin. Women who love it tend to love it completely.
Lie 110 captures that dark floral-oriental character — the jasmine, the cacao depth, the warm tonka base — at a price point that makes it an easy daily wear instead of a rationed special-occasion spray.
Who it's for: Women who love bold, rich fragrances with real staying power. Great for evening wear and cooler months.
Notes: Jasmine, tuberose, cacao, tonka bean, sandalwood, vetiver.
Saving: $140 AUD compared to the original.

2. Chloé Eau de Parfum Dupe — Lie 111 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$175 AUD
The original Chloé EdP — the one in the rounded glass bottle with the silk ribbon — is one of the best-selling women's fragrances in Australia for a reason. It's a masterclass in elegant simplicity: a peony-and-rose heart over a soft cedarwood and musk base that's warm without being heavy, floral without being sweet, and feminine without being predictable. It smells clean in the best possible sense — polished, wearable, and effortlessly refined.
Chloé EdP is the fragrance that works for everything. The office, a wedding, a first date, a Tuesday morning. It's never too much, never too little. For women who want a reliable signature scent that never puts a foot wrong, this is the obvious answer. It's also why it keeps selling despite being over 15 years old — great fragrance doesn't have a use-by date.
Lie 111 brings that same peony-rose-cedarwood elegance to $45 — making it possible to wear without budgeting for it.
Who it's for: Women who want a polished, elegant everyday fragrance that works in any setting. The definition of a signature scent.
Notes: Peony, rose, magnolia, cedarwood, amber, musk.
Saving: $130 AUD compared to the original.

3. Prada Paradoxe Dupe — Lie 112 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$195 AUD
Prada Paradoxe is the most exciting addition to Prada's fragrance lineup in years. Launched in 2022, it reimagines the concept of a neroli-and-amber fragrance in a genuinely interesting way: the opening is a burst of neroli and clean white musk, the heart is built around a rich amber and ambrette (a plant-based musked note), and the whole thing is anchored by cedarwood and benzoin in the base. The result is something that reads as both fresh and warm simultaneously — bright up top, deep in the dry-down.
What makes Paradoxe special is that it doesn't smell like anything else currently on the market. It's modern and distinctive, with the kind of quality and staying power you'd expect at the Prada price point. It's already building a strong cult following among fragrance enthusiasts, and it's the kind of scent that rewards wearing — it develops beautifully on skin over the first hour.
Lie 112 captures that neroli-amber-musk paradox — the simultaneous freshness and warmth that makes the original so interesting — at $45 AUD.
Who it's for: Women who want something modern and distinctive. For those who like their fragrance to feel considered rather than obvious.
Notes: Neroli, white musk, amber, ambrette, cedarwood, benzoin.
Saving: $150 AUD compared to the original.

4. Valentino Donna Born in Roma Dupe — Lie 113 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$190 AUD
Donna Born in Roma is Valentino's most successful fragrance launch in years — a beautifully crafted floral-woody-musk that manages to feel both romantic and modern at the same time. The opening is a bright, sparkling take on blackcurrant and jasmine. The heart softens into a full floral bouquet anchored by peony and rose. The base is all warm cedarwood and vanilla musk — comfortable, enveloping, and long-lasting.
It's the kind of fragrance that makes an immediate impression without being aggressive, and it has the longevity to keep making that impression all day. Born in Roma strikes the balance between accessible and aspirational perfectly — it smells like money without being difficult, and it's feminine without being saccharine. A genuinely strong all-rounder from a house that knows how to make beautiful things.
Lie 113 brings that jasmine-peony-cedarwood character to $45 AUD — romantically sophisticated without the price tag.
Who it's for: Women who want a romantic, feminine fragrance that's polished enough for any occasion. A strong all-day signature scent.
Notes: Blackcurrant, jasmine, peony, rose, cedarwood, vanilla musk.
Saving: $145 AUD compared to the original.

5. Burberry Her Dupe — Lie 114 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$165 AUD
Burberry Her launched in 2018 as a bold departure from what a modern fruity-floral could be. Instead of the usual tropical fruit-and-vanilla formula, it went for a London-inspired red berry and jasmine composition — blackberry, blackcurrant, strawberry, and raspberry layered over a jasmine and violet heart, with a dry amber-and-musk base that grounds it beautifully. The result is juicy and vibrant, but with enough structure to feel sophisticated.
Burberry Her is one of those fragrances that smells younger and more playful in the opening, then settles into something a bit more complex and wearable. It's an excellent everyday fragrance for women who want something bright and appealing without going full florals — the berry accord is distinctive and different from the usual approach, and the Burberry execution keeps it from tipping into sweetness overload.
Lie 114 captures that signature red berry-jasmine profile at $45 — vivid, modern, and genuinely easy to wear.
Who it's for: Women who want a bright, berry-forward fragrance that's distinctive without being too sweet. Great for everyday wear in warmer months.
Notes: Blackberry, blackcurrant, strawberry, raspberry, jasmine, violet, amber, musk.
Saving: $120 AUD compared to the original.

6. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Dupe — Lie 34 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$195 AUD
Flowerbomb is one of the defining women's fragrances of the 21st century. Launched in 2005, it took the oriental-floral category and blew it up — literally — with a massive, opulent bouquet of jasmine, rose, freesia, and orchid, underpinned by a patchouli-and-vanilla base that gives it almost narcotic warmth and exceptional staying power. It's the kind of fragrance that fills a room in the best possible way.
Two decades on, Flowerbomb remains a perennial bestseller because it does something most fragrances don't: it smells expensive and makes the wearer feel expensive. It's rich without being heavy, sweet without being cloying, and floral without being simple. If you've never owned it, you've almost certainly been stopped to ask what you're wearing by someone who has. That's the Flowerbomb effect.
Lie 34 brings that signature floral explosion to $45 — a fragrance that routinely commands nearly $200, worn as freely as it deserves to be.
Who it's for: Women who love big, bold, opulent florals. An instant classic that never stops working.
Notes: Jasmine, rose, freesia, orchid, patchouli, vanilla.
Saving: $150 AUD compared to the original.

7. Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Dupe — Lie 44 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$180 AUD
La Vie Est Belle — "life is beautiful" — has been one of the world's best-selling women's fragrances since its launch in 2012, and the name describes it perfectly. It's a warm, joyful, beautifully constructed gourmand-floral built around iris, jasmine, and orange blossom over a rich praline-and-patchouli base. The result is something that smells genuinely happy: warm without being heavy, sweet without being dessert-like, and floral without being powdery.
Part of La Vie Est Belle's appeal is how wearable it is. It's big enough to be noticed and enjoyed, but gentle enough to be appropriate almost anywhere. It's become a signature scent for millions of women precisely because it's the kind of fragrance that suits any occasion, any age, and any season — which is an increasingly rare quality in modern perfumery.
Lie 44 captures that signature iris-praline warmth at $45 — life is beautiful, and it doesn't have to be expensive.
Who it's for: Women who want a warm, joyful fragrance that works everywhere. One of the most universally likeable scents we carry.
Notes: Iris, jasmine, orange blossom, praline, patchouli, vanilla.
Saving: $135 AUD compared to the original.

8. Marc Jacobs Daisy Dupe — Lie 52 ($45 AUD)
Original RRP: ~$150 AUD
Marc Jacobs Daisy has been one of the most consistently loved women's fragrances in the world since its debut in 2007. Its appeal is deceptively simple: a clean, light, genuinely pretty floral built around wild strawberry, violet, and jasmine over a white woods and musk base. It smells like spring. It smells like being outside on a good day. It's the kind of fragrance that makes people smile when they catch a whiff of it.
Daisy has lasted because it never tries too hard. Where many women's fragrances pile on complexity, Daisy stays clear and honest — a beautifully constructed fresh floral that does exactly what it promises and nothing more. It's the ideal gift fragrance, the ideal first fragrance, and one of those rare scents that manages to feel both youthful and timeless simultaneously.
Lie 52 brings that signature wild strawberry and violet freshness to $45 — spring in a bottle, no waiting for a sale.
Who it's for: Women who love fresh, light florals. A perfect everyday scent for spring and summer, and a perennial gifting favourite.
Notes: Wild strawberry, violet leaves, jasmine, gardenia, white woods, musk.
Saving: $105 AUD compared to the original.

If you want something modern and distinctive — Prada Paradoxe (Lie 112) is the most interesting of the eight. If you want something that doesn't smell like everyone else's fragrance, start here.
