![]() Beloved in Europe, Dossier is a trusted source for fresh fragrances that won’t leave overbearing chem-trails in your wake, and are likely cleaner than your favorite brands, but just as rich and sophisticated to the nose. How incredibly awesome is that? Say yes to smelling good, and no to overpaying. Dossier Perfumes has an admirable mission: to provide the world with the same alluring, sophisticated scents as the more expensive fragrance brands and with similar ingredient blends, but with a laudable twist: clean ingredients and much lower price points. But Dossier makes enjoying fragrance more guilt-free, and my collection will definitely be growing after this discovery.French perfume sourced from Grasse without French perfume prices is officially possible now. Will I still buy the name brand once in a while? Probably. ![]() No more swallowing high price tags and rationing my most expensive fragrances. Now knowing how well Dossier can capture the essence of iconic scents, they’re definitely going to be a first stop in fragrance shopping for me moving forward. The size is generous as well, and the magnetic cap is a luxurious touch for such an affordable product. While I do acknowledge that some of the fun of collecting fragrances is in the unique bottles, I don’t mind the stripped-back, clean packaging of the Dossier bottles. While YSL’s version is $110 for a 1.6 oz bottle, Dossier Ambery Vanilla is only $29 for 1.7 oz. The floral middle notes tie it all together for a well balanced and multi-faceted fragrance. This is a perfect fall perfume for me, with sweet notes of mandarin and pear paired with cozy notes like vanilla, coffee, and cedarwood. I also decided to try out Ambery Vanilla, which is inspired by YSL’s Black Opium. The difference is too minimal, though, for me to continue to buy the designer version. If I had to point out a difference, I’d say that the Dossier perfume takes a little bit longer to “settle” on the skin and reveal the deeper notes versus Gucci Bloom. Gucci Bloom unfolds to reveal a warmer undertone as you wear it, and the Dossier fragrance mimics that hint as well with the sandalwood and vanilla notes. What really surprised me was how Floral Honeysuckle developed throughout the day. One spray was all I needed for it to be very noticeable on the skin.įloral Honeysuckle captures what’s special about Gucci Bloom in that it smells like a garden full of thriving flowers– a very natural, yet rich scent. ![]() Not just the fragrance but the strength, as well. Upon first spray, I was shocked at how closely Dossier’s version resembled the designer original. Gucci Bloom costs $118 for 1.6 oz, while Floral Honeysuckle is $39 for 1.7 oz. ![]() I decided that I wanted to try Dossier Floral Honeysuckle, which is inspired by Gucci Bloom– a designer perfume I currently own and wear. But… do they actually smell like the real thing? You can find perfumes inspired by some of the most talked-about scents, like Dior Sauvage, Juliette has a Gun’s Not a Perfume, and Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle. Not only are they able to reproduce signature fragrances, but they do so with 100% vegan, cruelty free, clean and ethically sourced formulas. They’ve identified the crazy markups on the most popular perfumes, and have been able to create similar scents to sell at a fraction of the cost. But at the end of the day, there’s no denying a huge chunk of the cost is merely due to the brand name, celebrity endorsement, and maybe a fancy bottle… and that’s why Dossier is shaking up the fragrance industry.ĭossier is a brand with a mission to make premium fragrances accessible. Most bottles last so long, and you just can’t match the comfort– or confidence– splashing on your favorite scent brings. Perfumes have always been a justified splurge for me.
