Target is known for many things; it’s known as the store you have to avoid if you’re on a tight schedule because you might get lost in there for hours shopping for things you do not need. It’s also known for its clothing departments as well as its burgeoning beauty aisles, thanks to its Ulta Beauty in-store shops. But again, whether you knew it or not, Target has a pretty good selection of fragrances, which include dupes!“Target truly said, ‘Why should smelling good be expensive?’ And I respect that,” Fino, who is a fragrance expert with over 2.4 million TikTok followers and 519k followers on Instagram, tells Parade. “Years ago, if you wanted perfume, you were going to Macy’s or Bath & Body Works. Target wasn’t giving you testers. They weren’t giving you options.” But as he says, it’s a totally different story today.“Now? You walk in, and there are full fragrance displays, approachable tester sections and brands like Fine’ry that are delivering high-quality, luxury-inspired scents for prices that do not hurt your wallet,” he shares. “The accessibility is the real magic—it’s easy, it’s fun, and the fragrances always hit.”So what are the best Fine’ry perfume dupes you can find only at Target?

7 Best Fine’ry Perfumes Dupes That Smell Like Luxury Scents, According to Fragrance Expert Paul Fino
1. Ultra — Dupe for Creed Aventus
Target
The first Fine’ry luxury fragrance dupe on this list is Ultra ($29.99), which is part of the brand’s Men’s cologne section. The website notes that the scent experience smells like being “ready for anything,” and it has a woodsy and sweeter smell. And according to Fino, it smells like Creed’s Aventus ($380).“Sweet pineapple, fresh woods and clean masculinity,” he shares of its scent. “This one personally saved me from dropping $400 on a refill. Bless.”
2. Not Another Cherry – Dupe for Tom Ford Lost Cherry
Target
Not Another Cherry ($29.99) is next, and it’s one of the brand’s many women’s perfumes. It’s supposed to smell like “that last decadent bite of an amaretto-soaked cherry,” and has fragrance notes of wild cherry, Turkish Rose and almond amaretto. “Cherry, almond, syrupy sweetness... but smoother,” Fino says, noting that it is a good dupe for Tom Ford Lost Cherry ($255-$615). “And honestly? Better longevity.”
3. No Prince Required – Dupe for Kilian Princess
Target
Another women’s perfume, No Prince Required ($29.99), has the scent experience of “my world, my rules” with notes including Night Blooming Jasmine, pink marshmallow and amber. Fino says that it smells just like Kilian Princess ($150). “Green tea and marshmallow. It smells identical. Like… identical,” he shares. “Soft, flirty and cozy, this aroma is the kind that makes you want to hug yourself.”
4. The New Rouge – Dupe for Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
Target
The New Rouge ($29.99) is another popular women’s perfume by Fine’ry, and is meant to smell like “an opulent, lavish fantasy.” Intriguing, right? It has fragrance notes that include golden saffron, amber resin and sandalwood. And with that, it’s not only a dupe for Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 ($310-$975), but it’s one of Fino’s favorites from the brand.“This is my most used Fine’ry scent. It’s Baccarat but gentler, smoother and the saffron note doesn’t poke you in the nose,” he shares. “It’s wearable and warm, like a cloud of coziness.”
5. Jungle Vetiver – Dupe for Le Labo Santal 33
Target
Going back to the men’s cologne by Fine’ry, Jungle Vetiver ($29.99) smells like “going off grid.” It has fragrance notes that include cardamom, black tea and carrot seed. And it smells a lot like Le Labo’s famous Santal 33 perfume ($110-$240), which makes it a very desirable dupe for those out there.“They had a sandalwood dupe before, but this is the upgrade,” Fino explains. “This one feels deeper, creamier and more refined. Basically, it's exactly like Santal 33 but without the price tag.”
6. Pistachio Please – Dupe for Sol de Janeiro SOL Cheirosa ‘62 + KAYALI Yum Pistachio Gelato 33
Target
A woman’s perfume with a scent experience that’s meant to smell like “a guilty pleasure,” Pistachio Please ($29.99) is meant for the pistachio and vanilla lovers. It has fragrance notes that smell like pistachio milk, fluffy vanilla and tonka bean. Delicious! Plus, it’s a great dupe for Sol de Janeiro SOL Cheirosa ‘62 ($60, originally $80) and KAYALI’s Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 ($100-$138).“It’s giving pistachio latte, beach dessert, summer skin,” Fino says. “It’s the gourmand girl’s daydream.”
7. Before the Rainbow – Dupe for YSL Black Opium
Target
And lastly, a highly-rated women’s perfume, Before the Rainbow ($29.99), is supposed to smell like “the refreshing calmness after the rain.” It has fragrance notes including salty air, bergamot and tree moss. And it’s a great copycat fragrance to YSL’s Black Opium ($172), a fan-favorite.“Warm vanilla coffee energy. Cozy but awake,” Fino describes it. “Great going-out-at-night scent.”
Bonus: MCoBeauty
Target
When asked if there are other perfume dupes at Target besides the Fine’ry brand, Fino shares that MCoBeauty has a really good selection, too. Take the MCoBeauty fragrance mist ($11.99), for example. And even though they’re not a Target-exclusive brand, the fact that they’re available to buy at the retailer makes smelling good even easier. “They have some gorgeous gourmand scents that play in the same family as the Sol de Janeiro lineup,” he tells Parade. “If you love smelling edible, like cookies left on warm skin, that’s where you shop.”Related: How to Properly Layer Perfume, According to a Fragrance Expert
Now that you know you can buy luxurious perfumes and colognes at Target, how do you go about shopping for them? Fino shares some tips, noting that if you don’t know where to start when shopping for fragrances at Target, start “with the feeling you want to exude” when you where a scent, first, “not the notes.”“Ask yourself... Do I want to smell cozy and yummy, or fresh and clean? Maybe you want to smell bold and unforgettable? Once you know the mood, go to that section and test a few,” he explains. And unlike other places where you want to spray on the tester cards they give out, Fino suggests trying it out right on your skin.“And when you’re in Target, always spray on skin. Not just on the little paper stick. Let it dry down. Walk around,” he shares, saying to let it sit for a little bit. “Let it become your scent for a few minutes. Then come back to it. Perfume naturally changes on your skin due to your pH, so what smells good on your bestie may not be the perfect choice for you.”And lastly, he really emphasizes that you don’t want to rush things! All good things take time, of course.“This is supposed to be fun. Fragrance is personal,” Fino says. “You’ll know it’s ‘the one’ when you catch yourself smiling like, ‘Oh yeah… that’s me.’”Up Next:
