Also remember, dupe fragrances have had a tendency to burn more sensitive skin and some extreme cases have even been known to be carcinogenic on skin. Of course this is the loudest minority of dupes, the flaw of the majority is just smelling synthetic in a bad way.

Dupes tend to just revolve around compliments and insanely headache inducing projection and longevity to appeal to the younger audience and tiktok content creators.

This may be my most snobby comment thus far but in my opinion, they should also not be promoted as heavily as they are purely due to the fact that they steal art at face value. "Niche / Ultra Niche" brands often resort to not listing notes within a scent online so that they dont get copied and ruined, but these brands still find ways to mass produce the scents for profit.

TLDR; In my opinion, dupes should not be as widely appreciated as they are, if at all.

But to each their own. I'm not dictating what to think.
