DIME Beauty is causing quite the stir thanks to their perfume dupes. Love them or hate them, beauty dupes are becoming more and more common and sometimes they might be even better than the original. DIME does things a little differently, offering clean and safe products that are vegan and cruelty-free too. When you realise how many of your favourite products contain nasties like parabens, sulfates, phthalates and BPA/BPS and are still tested on animals, it comes as quite a shock.

The brand is still fresh on the scene after husband and wife duo Ryan and Baylee Relf saw a lack of clean and effective skincare for women and launched DIME in 2018. It’s expanding quickly, and as well as skincare, the brand now does fragrances. DIME’s perfumes have been compared to some iconic designer fragrances, including Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 and Le Labo’s Santal 33. Not only are they a hell of a lot cheaper, but they’re clean and vegan too.

DIME has a number of fragrances for both men and women. Below, you’ll find the best perfume dupes they stock online and the fragrances they’ve been compared to. If you’re interested in beauty dupes, you might want to check out the best dupes for Prada’s Paradoxe perfume, Tom Ford’s iconic fragrances and YSL’s Black Opium next.

DIME Dans Les Bois® vs Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 

Dans Les Bois® Perfume 50ml, £46, DIME buy now

Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 70ml, £235, John Lewis buy now

DIME’s Dans Les Bois has got people talking over on Reddit as this clean fragrance is said to smell exactly like the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 from Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The luxury scent is seriously spenny at £235, while DIME’s vegan and cruelty-free option is just £46 (and even less if you’re a subscriber).

Dans Les Bois has top notes of Red Saffron, Almond and Fir Balsam, mid notes of Night Jasmine, Sweet Amber and Ambrox, and base notes of Cedarwood, Ambergris and Moss. Meanwhile Baccarat Rouge has similar top notes of Saffron and Jasmine, mid notes of Amberwood and Ambergris, and base notes of Fir Resin and Cedar.

DIME 7 Summers® vs Ariana Grande’s Cloud

Ariana Grande Cloud Eau De Parfum 30ml Spray, £23, The Fragrance Shop buy now

DIME’s 7 Summers has also been called a dupe for Baccarat Rouge, while others have said it’s more similar to Ariana Grande’s Cloud. This is where it gets a little bit complicated; Cloud is also a great dupe for Baccarat Rouge, so whichever way you look at it, all of these scents smell pretty similar. Fragrance is personal, not only when it comes to taste but also how it settles on your skin. You might prefer 7 Summers to Dans Les Bois, but it comes down to preference.

7 Summers has top notes of Red Saffron, Almond and Fir Balsam, mid notes of Night Jasmine, Sweet Amber and Ambrox, and base notes of Cedarwood, Ambergris and Moss. Meanwhile Cloud has top notes of Lavender, Pear and Bergamot, mid notes of Whipped Cream, Coconut, Praline and Vanilla Orchid, and base notes of Musk and Woody Notes. On first glance, these don’t appear to be that alike but they definitely offer similarly sweet scents.

Core Memory™ vs Dolce Gabbana Light Blue

DOLCE&GABBANA Light Blue Eau de Toilette 50ml, £48.32, Sephora buy now

Core Memory™ by DIME offers a similar scent to Dolce Gabbana’s Light Blue as both perfumes are fresh, fruity and floral. The fragrances have similar price points, so the main appeal of DIME’s option is that it’s clean, vegan, cruelty-free and non-toxic pretty big highlights if you ask me. Core Memory™ has top notes of Apple, Sicilian Mandarin, Frozen Grapefruit Peel and Bergamot, mid notes of Juniper, Rosemary, Bluebells, Rose and Jasmine, and base notes of Bamboo and Cedarwood. Light Blue on the other hand has top notes of Sicilian Lemon, Apple, Cedar and Bellflower, mid notes of Bamboo, Jasmine and White Rose, and base notes of Cedar, Musk and Amber.

Tuesday Date Night vs Le Labo Santal 33

Tuesday Date Night Perfume 50ml, £46, DIME buy now

Le Labo Santal 33 Eau De Parfum, £168, Cult Beauty buy now

DIME’s Tuesday Date Night is one of the clean beauty brand’s best perfumes in my humble opinion. This eau de toilette is said to smell just like Le Labo’s Santal 33, which is definitely more on the pricey side. DIME’s option has top notes of Cardamom and Iris, mid notes of Violet and Leather, and base notes of Smokey Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Amber, and Musk.

Similarly, Santal 33 has top notes of Violet Accord and Cardamom, mid notes of Iris, Papyrus and Ambrox, and base notes of Cedarwood, Leather and Sandalwood, so it’s not hard to see why the two have been compared.
