Frequently asked

What is a perfume dupe?
A dupe — or inspired-by fragrance — recreates the scent profile of a designer original using its own formula. It is not a counterfeit and carries no designer branding.
Are WOWSCENT fragrances legal to sell?
Yes. Scent itself is not trademarked. We never use designer branding, packaging or names as our own, and we state clearly which original a fragrance is inspired by.
How strong are WOWSCENT fragrances?
They are blended at 20–35% fragrance oil, above typical eau de toilette strength, giving 8–12 hours of wear on skin.
How fast is UK delivery?
Orders are dispatched within 3–4 working days and sent tracked, with shipping priced by parcel weight from £3.99.
