Scent 26 vs Designer Perfumes: Can You Really Tell the Difference?

Luxury Without Limits

Let’s face it — we all want that signature scent that turns heads and gets compliments. But does it really need to come with a three-figure price tag?

At Scent 26, we create designer-inspired fragrances that deliver on scent, strength, and style — without the luxury markup. But how close are they really to the designer originals? And can anyone tell the difference?

Let’s break it down.

What Does “Inspired By” Actually Mean?

We don’t just guess what a designer perfume smells like — we study its DNA. From top notes to dry-down, our perfumes are carefully crafted to mirror the essence of iconic fragrances like:

• Baccarat Rouge 540 (our 540)
• Oud Wood (our Timber)
• Alien (our 163)
• Libre (our Libre)

Every Scent 26 perfume is created using high-quality ingredients to ensure depth, longevity, and that wow-factor on first spray.

How Close Are They?

Very close. In fact, our customers often say they can’t tell the difference — and some even prefer ours for their lasting power and value.

“I purchased Angel Nova Scent 888 and I am extremely impressed. It smells identical and at a fraction of the price. Super fast delivery and packaged beautifully. I will certainly be shopping again”

What’s the Catch?

No catch. We don’t spend millions on celebrity endorsements, glossy ads, or fancy packaging. That’s why we can sell our 100ml Eau de Parfum bottles for as little as £20 — without compromising on quality.

Let’s Talk Longevity

Many designer perfumes are available as Eau de Toilette (EDT) — which fades within a few hours. At Scent 26, we only use Eau de Parfum (EDP) concentrations, meaning our fragrances typically last 6–10+ hours, depending on the scent and skin type.

If you love a scent that lingers on your scarf the next day, you're in the right place.
