Loved for their minimalist bottles and quietly addictive scents, Byredo perfumes are cult favourites — but their price tags are undeniably steep. Here, Living360 shares affordable alternatives for the bestselling scents.
There’s no denying the pull of Byredo. Founded in Stockholm, the brand has become synonymous with understated coolness. The global scent inspirations, unexpected notes and unusual names all contribute to its charm.
Even Céline Dion is a fan; she recently revealed that her go-to hand cream is Byredo’s Blanche.
But when prices for even a small bottle are well over £200, it’s only natural to look for alternatives.
From TikTok-famous finds to niche fragrance houses, these are the best Byredo perfume dupes worth spritzing — and stocking up on.

Byredo Gypsy Water (£150 for 50ml) vs Alt Fragrances Bohemian Water (£37 for 60ml)
Fragrance notes: bergamot, juniper berries, lemon, pepper, incense, orris, pine needle, amber, sandalwood, vanilla
Gypsy Water is Byredo’s most iconic scent — fresh, woody and effortlessly cool. ALT.’s Bohemian Water is widely considered one of the closest dupes on the market, capturing the same crisp opening and smoky dry-down that makes the original so addictive.
If you love Gypsy Water’s clean, outdoorsy feel, but not the luxury price tag, this is a brilliant alternative.

Bal d’Afrique is sunshine in scent form — warm, musky and subtly sweet. Dossier’s Ambery Vetiver mirrors that glowing, skin-warming profile beautifully, making it a go-to dupe for those who want the same feel-good fragrance at a fraction of the cost.
Ideal for everyday wear and year-round spritzing.

Byredo Mojave Ghost (£195 for 100ml) vs Sand + Fog Violet Sandalwood (£49.99 for 50ml)
Fragrance notes: magnolia, sandalwood, violet, cedarwood, musks, vetiver, cedarwood
Mojave Ghost’s airy florals and creamy woods have earned it cult status. Sand + Fog’s Violet Sandalwood offers a strikingly similar soft, musky scent that sits close to the skin and feels just as understated.
A great everyday option if you love barely there, expensive-smelling fragrances.
Byredo Blanche (£195 for 100ml) vs Korres Lefko Eau de Toilette (£44 for 50ml)
Fragrance notes: aldehyde, rose centifolia, peony, violet bloom, sandalwood, musks
Blanche is the ultimate “clean girl” fragrance — crisp, powdery and reminiscent of freshly washed linen. Korres Lefko Eau de Toilette nails that same fresh-out-the-shower vibe, making it one of the most convincing Blanche dupes available.
Fragrance TikTokker John Greg Parilla says: “If you’re looking for a great alternative to Byredo Blanche, Lefko from Korres smells very similar to it — great quality for its price.”

Byredo Rose of No Man’s Land (£220 for 100ml) vs Noted Aromas Lens (£29.99 for 100ml)
Fragrance notes: pink pepper, Turkish rose petals, raspberry blossom, Turkish rose absolute, amber, papyrus
Byredo’s Rose of No Man’s Land is soft, powdery and quietly romantic. Noted Aromas’ Lens delivers a remarkably similar take on rose, balancing floral elegance with warmth and subtle spice.
If you love rose fragrances that feel modern rather than old-fashioned, this dupe is well worth adding to your collection.
Byredo Alto Astral (£220 for 100ml) vs Ariana Grande Thank U, Next (£55 for 100ml)
Fragrance notes: aldehyde, coconut water, incense, jasmine petals, milky musks, sandalwood, cashmere woods, salted amber
While not a direct dupe, there’s an unmistakable similarity between Alto Astral and Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next. Both share a warm, sweet and comforting profile that feels instantly familiar.
Thank U, Next is more playful and sugary, while Alto Astral leans more to the chic side of things — but fans of one will likely enjoy the other.
Byredo Black Saffron (£150 for 50ml) vs DedCool Fragrance 03 “Blonde” (£71 for 50ml)
Fragrance notes: juniper berries, pomelo, saffron, black violet, cristal rose, blonde woods, raspberry, vetiver
Black Saffron is rich, slightly leathery and deeply addictive. It also includes two of 2026’s trending notes: saffron and raspberry.
DedCool’s Fragrance 03 “Blonde” captures that same warm, musky depth with a modern, skin-like finish. A brilliant dupe if you love bold, sultry scents that still feel wearable.
