The hidden truth behind supermarket perfumes

Perfumes dupes

Equivalence perfumes have gained popularity in recent years as affordable alternatives to luxury perfumes. These products are designed to imitate the fragrances of well-known brands, offering a similar olfactory experience. For many, equivalence perfumes represent a smart way to enjoy high-quality scents without having to spend large amounts of money on the original brands.

This type of fragrance has been developed with the goal of replicating the ingredients and distinctive notes of expensive perfumes, resulting in products that can be almost indistinguishable in terms of aroma. The most appealing aspect is that, thanks to research and development in the fragrance industry, equivalent perfumes are continually improving, offering surprising quality at accessible prices.

However, as this market grows, so does the competition, and it’s not uncommon to see large retailers like Aldi, or Lidl trying to make their way into this sector with their own perfume offerings. Although they may seem like a tempting option, the reality is that, when it comes to perfumes, specialization makes the true difference.

" ...Your fragrance deserves to last longer than your receipt... ".

Aldi, and Lidl have a mass approach in their offerings. These retail giants are not focused on equivalence perfumes but are experts at selling a bit of everything. Here’s the problem: perfumes are not "just another product"; they are a personal sensory experience, something that goes far beyond the masses. In these supermarkets, perfumes are merely another category within their broad product range, meaning they lack the same care and dedication that a specialized brand can offer.

When you look for a fragrance, you want that experience to be something special, something designed just for you. In contrast, in a supermarket, perfumes are chosen for being affordable and popular, without the care required to select quality ingredients or create a long-lasting and well-balanced fragrance.

It is true that supermarkets like Lidl, and Aldi have made their way into the market thanks to their ability to mass-produce, offering low prices and high availability. But when it comes to equivalence perfumes, quality and authenticity cannot be achieved with the same industrial formula applied to milk or hygiene products.

The key to the success of our perfumes lies in the creation process, where perfumers replicate the main notes and essences, using ingredients that maintain the durability and projection of the aroma.

On the other hand, when you buy from a store specializing in equivalence perfumes, you get something completely different. At divain. we dedicate ourselves exclusively to fragrances and have made this product our art, paying attention to every detail, from the selection of essences to the longevity of the aroma. This is something you will never find in a supermarket, where the main focus is to sell a wide variety of products.

Supermarket marketing

Another major factor that allows Aldi, and Lidl to dominate this market is their powerful marketing. Their established brand image enables them to position themselves in the minds of consumers as a "reliable" place for any purchase. However, when you dig a little deeper, you realize that behind those attractive price tags, quality isn’t always guaranteed.

These supermarkets are not specialists in perfumes. They lack the dedication and expertise that a specialized store can offer. What they promote is essentially a generic product with good packaging and an enticing price but often disappoints those who seek a truly long-lasting and well-balanced fragrance.

Specialized equivalence perfumes

As equivalence perfumes become more widely known, it’s essential to differentiate what truly matters: the quality of the fragrance. The perfumes sold in supermarkets may be cheap, but do you really want to smell "cheap"? Buying a fragrance is a personal statement. Equivalence perfumes are not just an economical alternative; they are an opportunity to enjoy a well-made perfume that resonates with you and lasts.

Choosing the right equivalence perfume can be an exciting yet challenging task, given the vast number of options available. To ease this decision, it’s important to consider your personal preferences and the occasion for which you plan to wear the perfume.

Another tip is to take advantage of the possibility of trying samples before making a final purchase. At divain. parfums, we offer you the option to try your perfume from the comfort of your home without needing to open the original bottle. If, for any reason, you change your mind, you can return it.
