Buy or Bye: Perfume Dupes at TJ Maxx! ☁️

I love fragrance and have many favorites at all price points; however, I am a student and many of the ones I love are simply not within my budget at this time. Here are a couple of perfume oils I stumbled upon that happen to be AMAZING alternatives to the designer and niche counterparts! 🤍

☁️ BUY: Sand + Fog perfume oil in Violet & Sandalwood

— I was honestly so shocked and impressed with this! I love the scent of Mojave Ghost so much; this is pretty much spot on and can be layered with the original (or another MG dupe I plan to make a post about 😉) to extend the longevity! Love!!

— longevity: 9/10

— scent similarity: 9.5/10

— overall: 9.25/10

🌩️ BYE: Byredo Mojave Ghost EDP

— This does not last AT ALL and I just can’t justify that price tag for such terrible performance! It sucks because I truly love this scent, so I’m happy I have a few amazing alternatives!

— longevity: 2/10

— overall: 4/10

☁️ BUY: Sand + Fog perfume oil in Pistachio Dream

— There are a ton of dupes for Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato, but honestly after coming across this (and another Marshall’s dupe that I layer with it; stay tuned!), I definitely don’t feel the need to try any others or even buy the original. They’re super similar and this scent lasts FOREVER!

— longevity: 10/10

— scent similarity: 9.5/10

— overall: 9.75/10

🌩️ BYE: Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato EDP

— This is honestly much more accessible to me price-wise than the Byredo, but I’m still glad I’m able to save a good amount of money by wearing alternatives. If and when I finish what I have and still love the scent enough to want to buy it, I definitely will. The lasting power is also pretty good.

— longevity: 7/10

— overall: 7/10
