This is our Bestselling Perfume Dupes & Discovery Set collection: the inspired fragrances people review most, from $22. If you’d rather test before buying a bottle, you can pick ten scents for a perfume discovery set and see what holds up on your own skin.
Our Bestselling Perfume Dupes, Grouped by Scent
Browsing by smell is easier than browsing by popularity, so here are our bestselling perfume dupes split by type.
Fresh and Citrus
Cody Ave has by far the most reviews on the site, and it’s the one I’d suggest to anyone buying their first dupe. Citrus, lavender and musk, inspired by Avatar. Rey 1940 is a bit dressier, with grapefruit, juniper and cedar, and takes its lead from Roja’s Elysium Pour Homme. Afternoon Dive is mandarin, Sicilian orange and bergamot, nothing more.
Sweet and Boozy
BLVCK Phantasma (rum, coffee, dark chocolate, inspired by Kilian’s Black Phantom) and Nefshane (honey, whiskey, oud, inspired by Nefs) are both evening scents. Both are rich, so a couple of sprays is usually enough.
Warm, Spicy and Woody
Cherry Tobacco opens loud with cinnamon and incense, then settles into tobacco and vanilla. RBL Monkey is rum, leather and patchouli. Woud Oud (oud, sandalwood, vanilla) looks like the calmest of the group going by its notes, and Rebel 007 sits somewhere between sweet and woody, with bitter almond, saffron and jasmine, inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait.

Perfume Discovery Set: Pick Your Own Ten
The discovery set is ten 5 ml sprays of extrait de parfum for $69.99, 50 ml in total, and you choose the ten yourself from the list on the product page. Think of it as a perfume sample set built around your own taste.
It won’t save you money, since samples tend to cost a bit more per ml than a full bottle. What it does is let you find out you dislike something before you’ve bought 55 ml of it. I’d put in one fresh scent, one sweet, one woody and a couple of wild cards, because ten versions of the same smell won’t teach you much.
Is It a Good Gift?
As a perfume discovery set gift it works if you know roughly what the person likes, since you’re the one choosing. If you can’t guess their taste at all, ask first.
What “Inspired By” Means Here
If you came looking for designer inspired perfume best sellers, this page is that list. Every fragrance here is one of our best selling inspired perfumes: a LUNAR & CO. scent made to echo the feel of a well-known original. Small differences from the original are normal, and we aren’t affiliated with the brands we name. The full wording is on our disclaimer page.
Shop by Season or Who It’s For
For colder months, our winter cologne collection has more warm picks than the few here.
If you want the best unisex perfume dupes, Rebel 007, Cherry Tobacco, BLVCK Phantasma and RBL Monkey are all described on their pages as wearable by women and men, and the unisex collection has more. Cody Ave, Rey 1940 and Woud Oud lean masculine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are LUNAR & CO.’s bestselling perfume dupes?
Cody Ave has the most reviews by a wide margin, followed by Rey 1940, Nefshane and Rebel 007. Review counts aren’t sales figures though, so treat that as a rough guide.
How does the perfume discovery set work?
You choose any ten scents from the list on the product page. Each arrives as a 5 ml spray, and the set is $69.99.
Is the discovery set cheaper than buying a bottle?
Not really, no. You’re paying to test first.
Are these perfume dupes the same as the originals?
They’re inspired by them, so the general feel is similar, but small differences are normal. We aren’t affiliated with the original brands.
Which size should I try first?
Prices start at $22 and the 10 ml is the easy way in. If you’re torn between several scents, the discovery set makes more sense. The 30 ml and 55 ml are worth it once you know you’ll actually finish the bottle.
Which bestsellers work for both men and women?
Rebel 007, Cherry Tobacco, BLVCK Phantasma and RBL Monkey, going by their product pages. Skin changes how a scent smells, though, so sample first if you can.
What about shipping and returns?
The details are on our shipping policy and refund policy pages.
