Dossier took a different route to the dupe game than the Middle Eastern houses: clean, minimalist bottles, a full ingredient list on the site, and a naming system that tells you the scent family rather than the original it echoes. That last part is deliberate, and a little frustrating, so here is what each of the best Dossiers actually tracks, ranked by note match. Around $29 a bottle against designer and niche prices many times that.
As always, a dupe shares key notes, it is not identical, and formulas drift over time. Every match below is grounded in shared notes.
Dossier Woody Sandalwood: an 88% match for Le Labo Santal 33
The one everyone wants, and the scent Dossier itself names Santal 33 as the inspiration for. Woody Sandalwood tracks Le Labo Santal 33 on sandalwood, cardamom and leather, the creamy, smoky, unisex signature, for $29 against $230.
Dossier Fruity Neroli: an 88% match for Armani My Way
Fruity Neroli shares Giorgio Armani My Way's orange blossom, bergamot and vanilla, the bright, musky floral signature Dossier lists as its inspiration, for $29 against $135.
Dossier Ambery Caramel: an 85% match for Stronger With You Intensely
One of the best value picks here. Ambery Caramel tracks Armani Stronger With You Intensely on toffee, cinnamon and vanilla, the cozy, edible warmth, for $32 against $92.
Three more worth knowing
Dossier Woody Sage is an 85% match for Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt on sea salt, sage and grapefruit. Dossier Musky Sandalwood tracks Phlur Missing Persons musk, sandalwood and orange blossom (84%) for $32 against $99. And Dossier Woody Vanilla shares Kayali Vanilla 28s vanilla, brown sugar and tonka (84%).
Dossier Musky Another: inspired by Le Labo Another 13
Dossier calls Musky Another its take on Le Labo Another 13. Le Labo describes Another 13 with ambroxyde, jasmine and moss; Dossier lists musks, ambrette and jasmine for Musky Another. Their maker note lists explicitly overlap on jasmine, but use different terms for the other notes. Dossier's inspiration claim does not establish an independent similarity score or identical wear, so treat it as a starting point and compare the notes yourself.
