While the concept of affordable perfume alternatives is well-established, the specific claim regarding current availability in Portuguese perfumeries and supermarkets requires verification. As of January 19, 2026, the market for perfume dupes continues to grow globally, driven by consumer demand for cost-effective options.
The Rise of Fragrance Dupes
Fragrance dupes are perfumes created to replicate the scent profiles of designer or niche fragrances, typically sold at considerably lower prices. The global fragrance market is substantial and growing, with a parallel increase in demand for affordable alternatives. This demand is fueled by economic factors, a desire for variety, and the increasing sophistication of fragrance replication technology. Dupes are often created by independent perfumers or smaller fragrance houses, and are increasingly available through online retailers and, as the original article suggests, brick-and-mortar stores.

* Chanel: Known for classic scents like Chanel No. 5 and Coco Mademoiselle. Dupes often target these iconic fragrances.
* Giorgio Armani: Popular for fragrances like Acqua di Gio and Si. Replicating the aquatic and floral notes of these perfumes is common in the dupe market.

Retail Availability in portugal
As of January 19, 2026, several Portuguese retailers carry fragrance dupes. Watsons Portugal, a major drugstore chain, offers a selection of affordable perfumes that are often positioned as alternatives to designer fragrances. Douglas Portugal, another prominent beauty retailer, also stocks a range of perfumes, including some that are marketed as inspired-by or similar-to designer scents. Supermarkets like Continente and Pingo Doce occasionally feature limited-edition or promotional perfume dupes. Though,the specific availability of dupes for Chanel,Giorgio Armani,and Dior varies depending on stock and seasonal promotions.
Legality and Ethical Considerations
Creating a dupe is legal as long as the packaging and marketing do not infringe on trademarks or falsely claim to be the original product. The World Intellectual Property organization (WIPO) provides data on trademark law and protection. Though, ethical concerns exist regarding the potential for misleading consumers and the impact on the original brands’ revenue. The quality of dupes can also vary significantly, with some offering a reasonable approximation of the original scent while others are noticeably inferior.
