Australian fragrance brands that last and have a good range? Already tried echo & the dupe spot (reviews of those included)
Post Body

Hi guys, I'm looking for a good Australian websites to get fragrances from. I want to support local Aussie businesses - I've tried both echo fragrances (lasts ages but small range)!and The Dupe Spot (large range but doesn't last long), but I want somewhere that both has a wide range of products AND lasts a long time on the skin.

FYI I've already looked into Palermo, Bujairami, and Dossier. Seems all of them don't have great longevity. I haven't looked at oils yet due to them not having good projection. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Here is my review of the fragrance clones I've tried below for your viewing pleasure.

Echo Fragrances (previously inspired by fragrances)

Hypnotic poison Dior- Smells less sweet and more heavy on the plum flavour than the original, it also lasts 8-12 hours on the skin rather than barely 1 hour like the original.

Sauvage Dior- a bit less spiced smelling than the original, but still a really amazing dupe. Smells really amazing and lasts 5 hours on the skin.

Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford- smells slightly more sweet & less spiced than the original but lasts about 5-8 hours on the skin and smells great.

Nuit Armarf- smells very similar to the original. Again lasts 5 hours on the skin & smells great.

Opium YSL- unsure what the original smells like but the dupe smells great and lasts ages.

Aventus Creed- I found the dupe more "deoderanty" than the original- I ended up giving it away because I didn't like it as much as I liked the original. Still very close to the original.

Pros of echo fragrances: -Lasts 5-12 hours on the skin -All I've tried smells quite similar to the original

Cons: -do not spray on clothes as it stains (barely a con but good to note) -Not exact replicas and all smell a bit different. -there isn't a large range (yet) so you are limited in your choices.

The Dupe Spot:

Lost Cherry Tom Ford- smells just like I remember the original smellung but lasts only 30 minutes - 1 hour on the skin. Lasts 24 hours as a body spray on clothes. Smells AMAZING and I get so many compliments.

Bitter Peach Tom Ford- smells just like I remember the original smelling. Again only lasts 30 minutes-1 hour on the skin. Lasts about a day as a body spray. Smells AMAZING and I get so many compliments.

Black Opium YSL- I smelled this next to the original and it's the EXACT same smell. It lasts around 1-2 hours on the skin but ages on clothes.

Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford (roll-on version)- smells more spiced than the original (and less sweet than the dupe from echo)- smells SO good and lasts 1-2 hours on the skin.

Pros: -last ages on clothes. -HUGE range of fragrances -All I've tried smell almost exactly the same as the originals (or as far as I can remember)

Cons: -dont last long on the skin (some are worse than others) - although this may be how long the originals smell I'd hoped for better performance.
