CVS’s New Perfume Dupes Smell Like Chanel, Tom Ford, and More — Best Life

CVS' Brite perfume in Summer Holiday

CVS has entered the dupe group chat. The pharmacy chain is known for its wide selection of drugstore makeup and beauty products but has recently taken up real estate in a new category: dupes for luxury fragrances.

CVS’ new perfume dupes are made by Brite, a beauty brand out of Australia. They retail for about $15 and are marketed as a two-in-one hair and body fragrance. Aside from smelling like your favorite designer scent (à la Tom Ford and Chanel), they’re packed with anti-aging peptides for healthier, shiner hair. The Brite perfume collection is going viral on TikTok—see which luxury perfume dupes they smell like below.

1. Dupe for Chance by Chanel

Brite’s Summer Holiday perfume is a must-buy for fans of Chance by Chanel, per TikToker @brittney_lynn.

“I love to spray this scent all over my body and my hair, knowing that this scent will not lose its smell by the end of the night,” she told followers in her review. “It’s literally a body fragrance, a hair fragrance, and a hair treatment in one. Sign me up.”

Best of all, it’s a fraction of the price. Sephora charges $93 for Chance by Chanel—that’s $78 more than CVS’ version.

2. Dupe for Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne

If you prefer fragrances that remind you of the ocean, you’ll love this dupe for Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne. It’s called Bondi Storm, and it smells like “you’re walking on a sundrenched beach,” according to TikToker @lunas_eclipsefitness’s review.

The body and hair mist is inspired by the beautiful beaches of Sydney, Australia, and contains a subtle zing of citrus. Plus, it’s $113 cheaper than its designer twin, which retails for $118 at Sephora.

In TikToker Emily Meyersreview, she said Brite’s Prom Queen perfume is a “spot-on dupe for Baccarat [Rouge].” If you aren’t a fan of sweet fragrances, you’re in luck because Prom Queen is “a little bit more spicy,” she added.

CVS shoppers can save $280 on this dupe compared to the real thing that costs $295 at Nordstrom.

4. Dupe for Eilish by Billie Eilish

For a neutral fragrance, opt for Not Just Vanilla, the CVS dupe for Eilish by Billie Eilish. “Literally smells just like Eilish. That is exactly what Eilish smells like to me,” said Meyers.

Not Just Vanilla retails for $15, as opposed to Eilish’s $52 Nordstrom Rack price tag.

5. Dupe for Sol de Janeiro 62

As far as Sol de Janeiro 62 perfume dupes go, Brite’s Just Dessert isn’t the best. According to Meyers, the scent is “very faint” and doesn’t have as strong of a “caramel-y” undertone as some other 62 dupes do.

On the flip side, if you don’t like super strong perfumes, this one could work for you. And the price isn’t bad either at $15, compared to Sol de Janeiro’s $38 price tag.

Meyers said Brite also hit it out of the park with More Than Cherry, a “spot-on” dupe for Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry perfume. Not to mention, it’s a whopping $390 cheaper than the designer label.

7. Dupe for Ariana Grande Cloud

Out of all the scents, Cashmere Sweater ranked last among reviewers. The perfume is supposed to be a dupe for Ariana Grande’s Cloud perfume, which has notes of lavender, pear, bergamot, crème de coconut, musk, and vanilla orchid and retails for $70 at Sephora.

However, Meyers said Brite totally missed the mark: “That does not smell like Cloud. This literally smells like nothing!”
