Why people look for them
A bottle of Creed Aventus is about $559. Baccarat Rouge 540 is around $540. Tom Ford Lost Cherry is close to $570 for 50ml. Most people who love those fragrances wear them sparingly and feel slightly ill each time they replace one.
Evrland is an independent fragrance house that builds its own perfumes around the same accords. It is not a counterfeit operation. The bottles carry Evrland’s name, not a designer logo, and nothing is passed off as something it is not. What you are buying is a similar smell at $55 instead of ten times that.
We are a pharmacy, so we will be straightforward about the trade. The opening of a good inspired-by fragrance is usually very close. Where the expensive originals earn their money is in how long they last and how they change over eight hours. If that matters to you, buy the original. If you want to smell good on a Wednesday without doing arithmetic, this is a sensible way to do it.

Common questions
Perfume dupes: questions we get asked
Are perfume dupes legal in Australia?
Yes, as long as they are not counterfeits. Evrland sells its own fragrances under its own name and does not pretend to be a designer brand. A counterfeit copies the bottle, the logo and the packaging, and that is a different thing entirely.
Will a $55 bottle smell as good as a $500 one?
For the first few hours, often surprisingly close. Where expensive fragrances usually win is longevity and the way they develop over a day. If you like the smell and you are not being asked to spend hundreds, that trade is easy to make.
Which ones do you actually have in store?
Thirteen lines at the moment, listed above. Everything else in the range we can order in. Call us on (02) 9660 1276 before you drive over if you want one particular scent.
Can I try before buying?
Yes. We keep testers on the counter. Put it on your wrist, go and do the rest of your shopping, and come back and tell us what you think.
