Dossier Overview
Dossier is San Francisco based brand that introduce the concept making premium fragrances accessible for everyone. The fragrances are know for using quality and better ingredient at a fraction of the price. Most fragrances are very expensive and some time it really hard to get your hands on your favorite scents because of the price. I know for myself buying luxury was not high on my to get list because of the cost. Dropping $100 or $200 on most iconic perfume was not prority. Don’t get me wrong I love buying my favorite perfumes such as CHANEL and Jo Malone London. However my pockets prevent me from always So, yes I hop on Dossier when I heard this I could get luxury like perfumes to my brand favorites. And it affordable too.
My favorite scents that I reach for all the time is the Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt and the other being Coco Mademosielle CHANEL. I am fan of clean scent or fruity scents.
Packaging
Dossier comes in minimalist 50 mL sleek bottle that share the exact ingredients that are use to get the fragrances you love so much. The brands offer estimate of 70 fragrances starting at $29. The use of clean, natural ingredients. The brands offer fragrances from woody, floral, oriental, and musk. In addition, available in unisex, feminine, and masculine scents. Each fragrances mimics well know fragrances. Lastly, the product is mail to you in well snugged box for protection while being shipped. Please note, that some fragrances may come with sample size to smell before indulging.
What I Got from Dossier
So I mention the luxury fragrances I have in my arsenal, which are Coco Mademoiselle and Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt. I purchase two scent from Dossier that are suppose to be virtually the same as the iconic fragrances.
Woody Sage
This fragrances is inspired by Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt and known as Woody Sage. This is such a calming, clean, and breezy scent. The smell is spot on to the original, with small difference. The potency is not the same.
You can get this fragrances for $29 compare to starting price of $100 from Jo Malone. This scent comes in a 50ml bottle. I think it so worth the buying, it long lasting and really mimics the original.
My plan is to hold on to my Jo Malone for special occasion for the accurate and potent scent. Then use my Dossier for everyday use. I wont feel pressure to run out to re up on my original scent
Oriental Oakmoss
Now for Oriental Oakmoss, this scent is suppose to mimic the iconic Coco CHANEL Mademosielle perfume. Now, let be clear this is my favorite scent to wear for date night, or when I need a uplift in life. Oriental Oakmoss smells so much like the original and it is also long lasting.
This is scent very exotic, and mysterious. I am in love with this scent. This comes in a 50 ml bottle for $29.
Again, my plan is use my original scent for special occasions and use the Dossier for everyday use, or when I feel mysterious.
Worth The Buy or Nah ?
Let get into the tea, is Dossier worth the buy. Yes! I love that fact of making fragrances accessible for everyone. The price point is amazing for all perfumes. Certainly a fraction of price of what you would spend on the original. Dossier offers of wide selection of perfumes that are very similar to your favorite scents. The ingredients that are use are clean, and natural. In addition, I have tested both scents out for over a month now, I am true fan. The scent mimics the original very well. Lastly, the site offer a lot of sales to add multiple scents into your arsenals.
On the flip side, some folks make think this not right to copy or in other words mimic the original brands. What do you think ?
Overall, I am fan of the products. I like that the perfumes are affordable, and I Love that most can gain access to luxury. I believe everyone should smell good. In addition, its your choice if you want to buy the original or shop affordable and that is simply okay. As I mention before my plan is save my originals for special occasion and use Dossier for everyday use.
