Louis Vuitton makes some of the most wanted, and least accessible, scents in the world. Sold only in LV boutiques, around £395 a bottle. Here are the £35 versions, at 35% Extrait.
Every scent below is an Aromara dupe of an LV original, £35 for 50ml, from £4.99 for a 5ml, with 7+ hours guaranteed and 60 days to change your mind.
Why Louis Vuitton gets duped
Two reasons. You can only buy the originals in a Louis Vuitton boutique at around £395, so most people never get the chance. And the scents themselves, Ombre Nomade especially, are bold and distinctive, which makes a good dupe genuinely satisfying. The catch is projection: LV scents are built to fill a room, and a weak dupe cannot hold that. Concentration is everything.
The best Louis Vuitton dupes, scent by scent
Imagination, the citrus-and-tea icon
Bright citrus over dry black tea and ambroxan. Our Imaginaire tracks it at 35% Extrait. Full review: Best LV Imagination Dupe UK.
Ombre Nomade, the cult oud
Deep oud, rose, raspberry and birch smoke, the nuclear projector everyone hunts. Our Nomade holds it. Full review: Best Ombre Nomade Dupe UK.
Afternoon Swim, the holiday scent
Juicy orange, bergamot and a salty freshness. Our Swim is the bright, sunny one.
L'Immensite, the fresh powerhouse
Grapefruit, ginger and aquatic woods, clean but strong. Our Open Horizon takes it on.
Les Sables Roses, the rose-amber
Soft rose, oud and sweet amber. Our Sablée is the warm, refined take.
Pacific Chill, the cool citrus
Lime, mint, basil and blackcurrant, icy and fresh. Our Pacific Breeze matches the chill.
Meteore, the cosmic cologne
Bergamot, neroli and ginger, radiant and clean. Our Comet carries it.
Rose des Vents, the soft rose
A clean, powdery rose. Our Wind Rose is the gentle everyday version.

Why ours hold and most dupes do not
Louis Vuitton scents are about projection and longevity. Run a dupe weak at 10 to 15% and Ombre Nomade's smoke or Imagination's tea just disappears after the opening. Every Aromara scent is 35% Extrait, the highest disclosed concentration in the UK, so the signature lasts the full day.
