DB Winter Fragrances Burning Love, Fancy, Fluidite

Forget splurging on sky-high perfume prices. DB Cosmetics has just made smelling expensive ridiculously affordable.

Launching today, the Australian beauty brand's Winter fragrance collection is already being hailed as one of the best designer dupe ranges to ever hit shelves. Inspired by luxury labels like Frederic Malle, Fenty, Kayali and Maison Francis Kurkdjian*, each scent is crafted to mirror the cult favourites - without the eye-watering price tags.

Amanda Connors, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Total Beauty Network, says the brand sets out to challenge the notion that luxury fragrances need to come with a hefty price tag.

"We wanted to show that smelling incredible doesn't have to cost a fortune. Our new fragrance range is luxurious, long-lasting and crafted with care. It's everything you'd expect from a high-end perfume, without the high-end price."

The standout? Painted Lady - DB Cosmetics' take on Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady, which retails for a staggering $611. Their version blends fresh rose petals, spiced amber and syrupy berries in a rich, romantic scent that feels every bit as luxurious… at nearly $600 less.

And the rest of the range doesn't disappoint.

Fancy channels the spicy-sweet energy of Fenty Eau de Parfum with zesty fruits, lush florals and warm musk.

Burning Love, inspired by Kayali's Burning Cherry, is a smoky gourmand blend of cherry, praline and rich woods that lingers long after dark.

Fluidité wraps you in the warmth of vanilla, nutmeg and amber - echoing the iconic Gentle Fluidity Gold from Maison Francis Kurkdjian.

Then there's Chaos, DB Cosmetics' bold white floral tribute to Robert Piguet's Fracas, led by lush tuberose and brightened with soft gardenia and jasmine.

Rounding out the range is Scent 2, an ethereal take on Comme des Garçons' aldehydic, incense-laced classic - a fragrance that moves effortlessly between light and shadow.

All six fragrances are vegan, cruelty-free, and designed to last from first spritz to after-hours.
