Hi PrismPoppers!! Today I am reviewing the Dossier Perfume, Fruity Almond perfume! 🌼🪷
🌷 FUN FACTS 🌷
❤️ This scent was inspired by Carolina Herrera's Good Girl (Retail Price: $96)
Believe it or not, designer Carolina Herrera has created over 161 unique fragrances. Her first perfume debuted in 1988 with the help of the Spanish fragrance giant, Puig.
Herrera, a prestigious fashion designer, dubbed fragrance "an invisible accessory." The first Carolina Herrera perfume, named eponymously, featured key notes of jasmine and tuberose. It matched her aesthetic as a designer perfectly, and the success was remarkable.
Today, Herrera is more famously known for her iconic Good Girl perfume, which comes in a nifty stiletto-shaped bottle. I found the Good Girl perfume Dossier.co creates to match my favorite Carolina Herrera perfume scent almost exactly- but at a fraction of the price!
Keep reading below for my full review on the Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau de Parfum dupe from Dossier.co, Fruity Almond!
🛍What Is Dossier.co?
First, let me explain the concept of a dupe for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term. Dupe stems from the word duplicate. When an item is a "dupe", it means it is a comparable product sold at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.
If you've ever read a style magazine, you've likely come across dupes for designer bags. Sometimes these are in the "Splurge or Steal" sections.
Dossier.co is a fragrance dupe company. They specialize in creating scents inspired by exquisite yet extremely expensive designer scents.
Dossier's goal is to make luxury scents accessible without the markup resulting from the brand tax and fancy packaging. Dossier fragrances start from $29 and proceed to $59 for 50mL or a classic 1.7oz size bottle.
Dossier has useful perfume reviews so before making a purchase, you can gauge how accurate a scent is. As a long-time user of Carolina Herrera Good Girl perfume (before discovering the Fruity Almond from Dossier.co), I can attest that the dupe and original are practically identical!

Designer to Dupe Comparison: The Original Carolina Herrera Good Girl Perfume vs. The Good Girl Perfume Dossier.co Dupe 🌺
Ironically I was a Good Girl customer before I ever tried Dossier's Fruity Almond scent. So I am in an excellent position to put my nose to work and decipher the difference between the two brands.
To me, they smell exactly the same! Many other reviewers mentioned that the Dossier Fruity Almond smelled spot on to Carolina Herrera's Good Girl scent. Other Dossier customers mentioned this is "literally an exact dupe" and that it's an "amazing dupe."
🌺Scent of a Modern Woman
The scent is beautiful! It's feminine but not too overpowering. I think this scent could even pass for unisex, so it is sweet, but the base notes break that up to be more androgynous.
🌺Packaging Comparison
I am in love with the simple glass design of the perfume bottle! The minimalist white label is elegant on my vanity.
I always lose my perfume caps, so the magnetic silver cap on this bottle is an added bonus. I no longer have to worry about losing my caps!
Obviously, this perfume is not stilleto shaped, which I do love about the Carolina Herrera version. However, while it's fun to own a perfume bottle in that shape, the fact that I can get the same scent at $83 less is more important to me!
🌻Price
The Carolina Herrera Good Girl perfume starts at $96 and retails up to $128, depending on the size you pick.
When comparing Dossier's 1.7 ounce Fruity Almond to Carolina Herrera's 1.7 Good Girl Eau de Parfum, the prices are $29 and $112, respectively. The savings here speak for themselves.
🌻Longevity
Both the Dossier and Carolina Herrera Good Girl perfume hold their own. My few spritzes of Dossier's Fruity Almond lasted me all day long. I love that the scent actually evolves as you wear it, and the different notes are more noticeable at different points.
🐇Vegan and Cruelty-Free
Dossier has the jumping rabbit seal of approval. All of their products are 100% cruelty-free. This means they never test on animals.
Dossier is also a vegan company which means there are no animal products in their finished goods. I also love their commitment to clean ingredients.
Cons of Dossier.co Fruity Almond Eau de Parfum
Personally, I was 100% satisfied with my first Dossier purchase of this Good Girl inspired Fruity Almond scent. There isn't anything for me to complain about.
I did notice some reviewers said it smelled different than the original Carolina Herrera scent or that it is too sweet. I didn't experience that personally.
The perfume smells different on every body due to our skin's pH and body chemistry. The great thing is that Dossier makes sure all customers are satisfied.
❤️ Final Thoughts: I’ve never really been a big perfume person. Personally, I always forget to put it on in the rush of trying to get ready. I am always out there door and remember, shoot, I needed to put on perfume! But, this perfume has changed my mind…I will definitely remember to put some in now before I leave the house!
🌺Other Perfume Dupes Dossier.co Offers
Dossier.co has a wide library with many types of fragrance options available. Other than Carolina Herrera, they have varied assortments inspired by designers such as YSL, Viktor and Rolf, Maison Margiela, and Le Labo. Dossier's tagline is "the fair alternative to luxury perfumes."
Dossier is recognized by highly respected publications like Teen Vogue, Entertainment Tonight, Inside Hook, MSN, and Insider. Apartment Therapy called Dossier "TikTok's favorite perfume brand."
This is mainly because young Gen Z'ers, like myself, want to be smart with their money. We'll splurge on experiences, but when it comes to material things, we'll always opt for a good deal! That doesn't mean we want cheap stuff either. 🌻
It's all about value, and Dossier is full of value because they offer the opportunity to smell like luxury without the intense price points. It's also a purchase I can feel good about.
Dossier.co fragrances contain no irritating colorants and are also UV filter-free. Even better, Dossier fragrances are paraben and phthalate free. Dossier is a leaping bunny company, which means they are also vegan and cruelty-free!
I love their philanthropic business model as well. Dossier is aware that buying perfume is a personal decision and depends on your lifestyle and even scientific factors like your skin's pH. What works for someone might not work for someone else.
If you decide a scent didn't work for you, they fully refund you. Better yet, they donate any bottle (with fragrance) to charity to avoid waste. Instead of throwing out or reselling refunds, they use their refunds to give back.
🌿YSL Black Opium Dossier.co
The $29 Ambery Vanilla by Dossier.co is a steal compared to the $139 YSL Black Opium perfume. The scents are near identical, yet Dossier's version is $110 less.
As the name suggests, this is a warm and sweet yet intoxicating scent.
Ambery Vanilla by Dossier is both sensual and delicious. It first hits the nostrils with a bright gourmand from the citrus and pepper. Then you start to notice the patchouli, vanilla, and warming coffee cut through.
It's beautiful for special occasions, especially around the holiday season.
🌼Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume Dossier.co
Flowerbomb is notorious for its orbital shape and eye-catching pink and black detailing on the perfume bottle. But that is, unfortunately, part of the reason it'll set you back $129 for just 1.7 ounces.
Dossier's Gourmand White Flowers is the perfect alternative, at just $29 for 1.7 ounces and a nearly identical scent!
Gourmand White Flowers is a harmony of green tea, caramel, tart berries, jasmine, and rose. This scent is both sweet and sexy, perfect for young and wise folks alike.
🌿Maison Margiela By The Fireplace Replica Perfume Dossier
Replica is the French fashion house, Maison Margiela's fragrance brand. The intention with Replica scents is to capture the smells of nostalgic memories such as a walk on the beach, time at the barber, and when the rain drops.
Dossier encaptures the Replica By the Fireplace scent themselves with an inspired fragrance titled Woody Chestnut. You get the same designer scent for just $29 compared to the $135 Replica scent.
Woody Chestnut is described as warm, comfortable, and evocative. It reflects the cozy sensation by the fireplace at dusk.
🌿Le Labo Fragrances Dossier.co
Dossier has four Le Labo inspired fragrances in their library. Dossier Le Labo fragrance dupes include:
🌻Rose 31
🌻Gaïac 10
🌻Thé Noir 29
🌻Santal 33
By association, Dossier created four unique scents similar to Le Labo scents. There are many excellent scents, including Floral Rose, Woody Sandalwood, Musky Gaiac, and Citrus Tea. They range from $39 to $49.
I am so glad I tried Dossier, and I am already eyeing some of their other scents inspired by Chanel and By Redo! I know I will live in this Fruity Almond scent all summer long! ❤ 🌻
