Byredo built its cult following on minimalist, emotionally evocative scents that feel effortlessly modern — from breezy neroli florals to clean musks and smoky gourmands. The catch is the price tag. Below we round up affordable, vegan, cruelty-free smell-alikes of Byredo's most-loved fragrances, so you can wear the vibe without the luxury markup.

Bal d'Afrique Dupes

Bal d'Afrique is a sunny, free-spirited blend of neroli, bergamot, marigold and vetiver with a warm musky base. We round up its closest affordable dupes that capture that bright, golden African-evening glow.

Blanche Dupes

Blanche is the scent of fresh laundry and clean skin — soft aldehydes, white rose and blonde woods over an airy musk. We gather the best budget smell-alikes for this minimalist, just-showered classic.

Eleventh Hour Dupes

Eleventh Hour is a moody, spiced fig gourmand layered with rum, fig leaf and warm woods. We line up the closest affordable alternatives to its smoky, bittersweet end-of-the-world atmosphere.

La Tulipe Dupes

La Tulipe is a vibrant spring floral built on tulip, freesia and tart rhubarb with a green, dewy freshness. We collect the best budget-friendly dupes for this crisp, garden-fresh bouquet.

Desert Dawn Dupes

Desert Dawn is a warm, spicy and evocative composition of dried fruits, spices and resinous woods that conjures a sunlit desert horizon. We round up its closest affordable smell-alikes.
