I found Target perfume dupes for hundreds less than the originals - including Jo Malone and Tom Ford
LUXURY perfume lovers on a budget are in luck because Target has unveiled some near identical dupes to some pricey brands and they cost hundreds of dollars less.
TikTok user @Leah_Janae was eager to share the Target finds with her followers.
Leah regularly creates content on beauty and self-care, so she was ecstatic that Target had launched its own lineup of perfumes similar to luxury ones that are out of many Americans’ price range.
The Target brand is called Finery and holds a variety of scents for every occasion. Many of them mimic the smells of the top brands.
To get a full-size Finery perfume, it’s $27.99, but you can get a body mist version for as low as $12.99.
The Finery Cherry perfume is a close second to the Tom Ford perfume Lost Cherry, which regularly racks a bill of $390.

Meanwhile, the Midnight Cafe Finery scent is a nearly perfect dupe for the YSL Black Opium, Leah said.
That perfume has a retail price of $139 and has hints of coffee, white flowers, and vanilla.
Finery’s Sun Phoria product could be its own version of Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc, which is out of reach for most Americans with a price tag of $390.
Target’s Finery Flower Bed perfume brings a similar scent to Chanel’s Chance perfume for a fraction of the normal $146 price.

Additionally, there’s a Before the Rainbow Finery fragrance that closely resembles the Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt scent, which can hurt your wallet with a whopping $155 price.
And if you’re looking for a more summery, fruity scent like Byredo’s Sundazed - but don’t want to shell out $200 - the Magnetic Candy Finery item is a good substitute.
Even Billie Eilish’s $72 Eilish scent has a dupe at Target: the Finery Sweet on the Outside fragrance, and it’s less than half the price.
Meanwhile, the Finery Jungle Santal product is a dupe for the Le Labo Santal 33.
A perfume mimicking Ariana Grande’s Cloud scent can also be discovered in the I’m A Muse Finery product.
Leah did have a warning when it comes to choosing between the cheaper body mist option and the full perfume bottle.
“So far these look pretty good,” Leah said. “As far as longevity goes, the body mists are pretty lackluster, so I would maybe go for the perfumes instead.”
While Leah said she found the perfumes a bit early at her store, they should be hitting shelves soon, so shoppers should keep their eyes out.
FINDING DUPES
If you’d like to expand your hunt for top-brand affordable duplicates outside of Target, you should know several things.
If you’re looking for something that mimics a designer clothes item, consider using the Google Photos app.
The Google Lens tool allows you to look for products similar to anything you’re interested in, based on the image.
That often means a similar look for a far lower cost.
Similarly, you can do either a Google or Amazon reverse image search with the expensive product and find tons of other more affordable alternatives.
While the exact quality could differ, many products have higher price tags just because of the designer or celebrity they are associated with.
WAYS TO SAVE AT TARGET
While Target has great items that can emulate similar brands at lower prices, you will save more at Target if you join the rewards program.
At Target, you can sign up for a RedCard, which will save you 5 percent on your purchases.
Additionally, you’ll get free shipping and exclusive offers.
Also, you have the option of opening a RedCard via debit.
Moreover, Target has another rewards program known as Target Circle that you can sign up for. This can then be combined with a RedCard.
Also, be sure to check out your local Target's clearance markdowns.
