Dupe fragrances have moved from a niche DTC trend to a major retail and cultural force, driven by price-conscious shoppers, viral discovery channels, and growing acceptance from mainstream retailers. Here's what you need to know:
-
Dupe fragrance has rapidly gone mainstream as brands like Dossier, Oakcha, Alt. Fragrances and MCo Beauty moved from DTC and social-driven discovery into major retail. Dossier entered Walmart in 2022, expanded to Target and CVS in 2025, opened a Nolita store in New York, and launched its first celebrity fragrance with MGK.
-
Price is a major driver of the category’s growth. Dossier sells versions of prestige scents like Le Labo Santal 33 and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 for under $50, while many original fragrances sold nearby retail for $200 or more. Dossier CEO Sergio Tache said rising luxury prices helped fuel adoption.
-
Dossier generated about $60 million in U.S. annual sales in 2025 and achieved 120% year-over-year growth as of February 2026. MCo Beauty said its April 4, 2025 National Dupe Day drove a 10,000% spike in website sales.
-
Charm.io data reports that Oakcha’s TikTok Shop sales grew more than 125% year over year to $6.2 million in the first half of 2025.
-
Dupe brands are now trying to continue to build legitimacy beyond imitation. Dossier, Alt., and Oakcha have all introduced original fragrance collections.
