Redditor knows that not all dupes are created equal.
"I have tons from Oil Perfumery and generally love them, though I’ve had some duds too," she said.

"Their Black Orchid is indistinguishable from the gold Tom Ford bottle and I feel very fancy wearing it!" she said.

, which sells for $15.95, offers the luxe scent she loves for less - much less.
The rollerball features notes of truffle, gardenia, jasmine, lotus, amber, white musk, lotus, black currant and Amalfi lemon.
The perfume is also just a fraction of the cost of the original Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum, which is available at Ulta for $240.

She also explained how she has turned many of the rollerballs into sprays, something which has "improved projection significantly."
Their trick involved buying bottles from Amazon and using grain alcohol in a 25/75 oil-to-alcohol ratio.
Black Orchid was one scent she believed had particularly good projection.
