Kmart fans are rushing to stores after a viral list revealed that the budget retailer’s affordable perfume range includes dupes of some of the world’s most popular designer scents for as little as $6.
A savvy shopper shared the full list online, matching Kmart’s wallet-friendly fragrances to their high-end counterparts, and shoppers are calling it a ‘game changer’ for beauty lovers who don’t want to spend big.
Fans of Daisy by Marc Jacobs ($165 for 100ml) can pick up Fresh Meadow at Kmart for just $8 – while not an exact match, it’s described as a brighter, fresher take on the cult classic.
Other dupes include Oddity, found in Kmart’s fragrance packs, which mirrors Paradoxe by Prada but it’s only available in fragrance gift packs, and Noir Night ($6 to $12) for fans of Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent ($285).
Also among the most exciting finds is In the Clouds, which retails for just $6 as a body mist and $12 as a perfume.
It’s said to smell almost identical to Ariana Grande‘s Thank U Next – a scent that normally sells for $70 in Australia.
‘From someone who owns the body mist, Cloud 1.0, 2.0, and Thank U Next, I can say In the Clouds smells almost identical to Thank U Next,’ the shopper confirmed.
Kmart’s Royalty ($6 for a body mist) is said to be a dupe for Princess by Vera Wang ($90), although it appears to have been discontinued.

Kmart has also released Hush ($12), a match for Billie Eilish’s signature Eilish scent ($105).
You’ll also find 026 Vanilla ($8) which mimics Vanilla by Kayali ($228), and Oui ($12 in fragrance packs) for lovers of Si by Giorgio Armani ($299).
So why are people opting for these bargain versions over the real thing?
For many, it’s about stretching their budget without sacrificing the feel-good experience of a luxurious scent.
With cost-of-living pressures hitting Australians hard, a $6 perfume that smells like a $150 designer bottle is an irresistible deal.
Others love the idea of being able to spritz themselves liberally throughout the day without worrying about wasting expensive fragrance.
Some shoppers even stock up on the cheaper options for work, gym bags, or travel, reserving their pricey originals for special occasions.
Whatever the reason, Kmart’s perfume aisle is becoming the hottest spot for beauty lovers in the know – but with many of these dupes flying off the shelves, you’ll have to be quick to snag one.
