For those who love to change fragrances, appreciate trendy perfumes but don’t want to (or can’t) spend hundreds of euros on big brands, the phenomenon of “equivalents” (or dupes) comes into play. Supermarkets like Eurospin have started to offer fragrances that recall those of famous brands, at significantly reduced prices.
However, don’t expect the same persistence, the same sophistication or the same olfactory “weight” of a luxury Maison: these equivalent perfumes are a low-budget choice for experimenting, not to completely replace the originals.
We have selected the most popular Eurospin ones in Italy, with the warning that availability and profiles may vary in individual stores.
The best equivalent perfumes from Eurospin
Among the most well-known and appreciated equivalent fragrances of Eurospin we find:
They are fragrances sold for a few euros, but highly appreciated for their ability to reproduce, at least in part, the most recognizable notes of the most famous perfumes.
Before buying them, some considerations
Before jumping into the purchase, it’s best to be realistic: Eurospin’s equivalent perfumes are perfect for those who want a pleasant and trendy fragrance without emptying their wallet, but they cannot compete with the original versions in terms of intensity or duration. The selection often varies from one store to another, so you may not always find the same items. Furthermore, every skin reacts differently: a fragrance that on another person seems identical to the original could completely change on you. Regardless, they remain a great everyday option or an affordable way to experiment with different scents without guilt.
