A Chemist Warehouse employee has discovered what she believes is a $29.99 ‘dupe’ of a popular $445 luxury item.
Jess, a retail manager from Melbourne, has claimed the Made in Lab No. 115 Eau de Parfum (100mL) ‘smells identical’ to the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540, which retails for an eye-popping $445 for 70mL or $881 for 200mL.
‘We’ve got a new Baccarat Rouge dupe for you,’ the worker claimed in her video.
‘And it’s up there with one of the best. Why? It’s $30, it lasts so long on the skin and it just smells identical.’
The employee was amazed that the two fragrances, despite their vastly different price points, contained nearly the same scent elements.
‘The Made in Lab No. 115 has almost the exact same notes (as Baccarat Rouge) except it’s missing the ambroxan and oak moss notes,’ Jess pointed out.
‘But I still think it smells exactly the same and it has great longevity… it’s not as overpowering like some of the other dupes out there, but the longevity is still insane.
‘It smells so good.’

She added: ‘Highly recommend giving this one a go if you love Baccarat Rouge. You know the saying… Run.’
Many were excited to hear about the new ‘dupe’, with one saying: ‘OMG I need it.’
‘Sooo good,’ another shared.
What shoppers love most about the formula is that it’s designed to be unisex so anyone can use the scent.
The manager’s recommendation comes just weeks after she claimed the Made In Lab. 18 Eau de Parfum was almost identical to Giorgio Armani’s Si fragrance.
‘I just found the closest dupe to Giorgio Armani Si I have ever smelt,’ she said.
‘Like when I mean ‘the closest’, I mean Giorgio Armani has six notes… Made In Lab has six notes.
‘To say I was shocked at how good this fragrance smelt is an understatement.’

Jess said both fragrances have ‘exactly the same notes’.
‘This fragrance (Giorgio Armani Si) is one of the top sellers, and for a reason. It’s a beautiful, vanilla, woody scent,’ she explained.
‘Made In Lab 18 is a brand new scent to – only available at Chemist Warehouse might I add… If you’re not already convinced, it’s only $30.
‘Now I know what you’re saying… a $30 fragrance? I bet it doesn’t last. Well, let me tell you… The longevity is so good. It lasted on my skin for hours.’
The store manager predicted the new fragrance is set to sell out.
‘Run to Chemist Warehouse… We all know these will fly off the shelf,’ she said.
