Good Dupe for Stella McCartney perfume?

[verycherry1]

I haven't found a replacement since Stella McCartney discontinued her perfume line. Her original perfume, just called "Stella", in a deep purple bottle was divine! A musk based floral. Notes included: mandarin, amber, rose, and peony.  Most rose based fragrances are either too sweet and powdery, or have a note I don't like. (I really dislike vanilla and sandalwood, which seem to be in everything these days)

Divain 655 is the closest I have found and is almost identical! So happy to have finally found something like Stella McCartney!

I feel you - Stella McCartney was my favorite winter scent back in the day, and was disappointed to learn it was discontinued. Today, I sampled Fenty - and instantly reminded me of Stella McCartney. I dug into it a little bit and found that Fenty is by the same nose that created Stella McCartney - Jacques Cavallier. I would say this is a strong contender to other similar scents. If you give it a try - let me know what you think.

I am with you! Good girl by Carolina Herrera isn’t the same smell, but has a similar vibe to me if that makes sense. That’s what I have used as my go to since Stella was discontinued

As pathetic as my ancient bottle looks, I thought some fellow perfume connoisseurs would enjoy seeing her being cherished!

Lady, I’m with you a hundred percent. 💖✨💞💫 I  L💝VED Stella more than any fragrance I’ve owned, and wore it for over a decade. It was gorgeous! (I actually bought it based on the description alone around 2008 and it did not disappoint!) 

I’ve looked and smelled, high and low, and haven’t found anything that compares IMO. I recently jumped on the live chat in here one night and the lady suggested the one below…She was very specific about trying the “intense” version, which had been in stores about 2 seconds. I do think she did her research. I might give it a shot; but I will not give up! We should keep this thread up as long as it takes! 💜💜💜

Fragrantica has Juliette Has a Gun Miss Charming 3.3 oz/ 100 mL Eau de Parfum Spray and AERIN Rose De Grasse Eau de Parfum listed as similar. There may also be dupe companies making dupes! Good luck finding something that matches what you're looking for 🙂

Oh my gosh--I got the Aerin sampler kit and I am in looooove with the Rose de Grasse!

Great recommendation!

Wore Stella for over 10 years and have been devastated about the discontinuation. Try Lancome Idole and the original Chloe perfume.

[verycherry1]

Yes, I agree Chloe is close--has notes in common. I think the Lancome is lovely too!

Good call! Several months ago—actually close to Valentines—I was in Ulta and thought Chloe smelled super close; but I couldn’t be sure because the air was crazy with fragrance! I’ll definitely give her a try. 💋
