Discover and Dupes

Reviewed July 19, 20265 min read

Discover combines recommendations based on your own taste with community lists and dupe evidence. Opening a result never adds it to your journal until you review and save it.

Discover

Personal recommendations, cheaper twins, crowd lists, and the entry to Ask Orrique.

Dupes

Dupe of the week and the full list of qualifying cheaper twins. It is in the iPad and Mac sidebar, or opens from Find dupes on iPhone.

Fragrance details

Dupe of, Smells like, You vs the crowd, Before you buy, and a focused See dupes route.

Scent Atlas

Pro comparison for two or three collection scents.

Ask Orrique answers supported questions about your own collection and Diary, such as what to wear, rediscover, finish, compare, layer, or examine more closely. Its answers stay tied to saved bottles, containers, wears, and checked catalog evidence.

The manual shelf advisor works without Apple Intelligence. Supported devices can add checked on-device writing. Everyone gets three questions per rolling week, then unlimited questions need Pro.

Open Ask Orrique for the complete question, evidence, follow-up, and privacy guide.

For you ranks recent catalog fragrances against the taste evidence in your collection and Diary. It appears after you have at least three fragrances and useful matches exist.

Each card names the fragrance, match strength, and short reasons supported by its profile. Choose a card to open a prefilled Add Fragrance review. Choose Fewer like this to remove an unhelpful suggestion and reduce closely related matches. That feedback stays private.

Archived and Not for me fragrances do not become positive taste examples. If only a few strict matches exist, adjacent results can complete the row without being presented as equally strong.

For a large catalog, Orrique evaluates local catalog records in bounded pages and keeps only the strongest candidates needed for the row. This avoids loading a second complete catalog into the Discover screen while preserving the final checked ranking.

Smells like, for less looks for a qualifying crowd supported match that costs meaningfully less than a fragrance on your shelf or Wishlist. A result shows the candidate, the related scent, closeness, agreement, and an approximate saving when available.

Choose a result to review it in Add Fragrance. No collection change happens until you save.

Closeness Meaning
Ballpark A loose match in the same area
Similar Clearly similar
Spot-on Very close to the same scent experience

The full Dupes destination can filter between every available match and matches connected to your collection. An honest empty state explains when no pair has reached community agreement yet.

Discover can show threshold supported lists such as Top rated, Longest lasting, Hidden gems, Most logged, Best value, or leading scents in a family.

Choose a card to open its read-only community profile. The profile can summarize rating, longevity, projection, sillage, sprays, and bottle size, with the number of contributing people. It does not add the fragrance or change your collection.

Community lists, profiles, and shared dupe matches appear only when enough contributions support them. Cached results remain useful offline, while submitting a new contribution needs a connection.

Use Dupe of on a fragrance page to record that one scent resembles another.

  1. Open the fragrance and edit Dupe of.
  2. Find the original in your collection or the wider catalog.
  3. Choose Ballpark, Similar, or Spot-on.
  4. Add an optional note about the difference.
  5. Choose whether to contribute the pair to community agreement.
  6. Save.

The private relationship saves even if the optional community contribution cannot be delivered. Orrique does not present that contribution as pending until delivery is confirmed.

Smells like shows community supported matches for the current fragrance. Choose Suggest, select another fragrance, set closeness, then submit. A delivered suggestion remains pending until enough people agree.

The same closeness labels and evidence wording are used on Discover, Dupes, and fragrance pages. Report an obviously incorrect match through the customer contribution controls described in Community and Contributions.

  • You vs the crowd compares your logged experience with a sufficiently supported aggregate. It appears after you wear the scent.
  • Before you buy checks a Wishlist scent against close fragrances you already own.
  • Find similar compares a chosen scent directly with complete catalog profiles and excludes scents you already own.

These cards inform a decision but never change status or purchase anything.

Pro

Open Compare from Scent Atlas, choose two or three collection fragrances, then review fingerprints, notes, ratings, value, and performance side by side. Empty cells mean the relevant fact has not been recorded.

See Scent Atlas and Insights for the focused steps.

Personal recommendation feedback stays private. Optional dupe contributions contain the fragrance pair and closeness choice, not your Diary text, wear dates, photos, name, or email. Public community results are aggregates that wait for enough agreement.

Hide Prices removes your personal price values from comparisons. Discover, Dupes, and dupe cards work on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, but not in the Apple Watch app.
