Quick take

AI-assisted summary of the notes, prices and community notes listed on this page; no bottle was smelled. How this site is made

All six dupes here are seller-claimed "inspired by" versions with no independent basis, so this field is effectively unranked — there is no community consensus to point to. Price per ml is not listed for any of the six, so cost cannot be used to pick between them either, and since they all come from the same house, Dua Fragrances, with identical labelling (name and concentration only), there is no fuller-labelling option to fall back on. The only distinguishing detail in the data is naming: "Classic" is the one entry without an added stylistic descriptor (unlike Intense Leather, Vintage 1933, Iris Cafe, Nur Jahan's Elixir, or Dua's Dress Code), which may make it the most neutral starting point going by name alone.

Notes are on file for the original — bergamot, vanilla, jasmine, tonka bean, incense/olibanum, iris/orris, lemon and rose (Grasse) — but there are no notes on file for any of the six dupes. That means the data cannot say how closely any of them actually track Shalimar's note structure, only that each is a seller claim of inspiration. A buyer should treat the note match as unconfirmed rather than assume overlap with the list above.

How to read this table

A seller claim means the clone house itself published that the product is inspired by Shalimar. We quote the claim; we have not smelled the bottles. A community pairing means the seller does not name the original and the match comes from reviewer consensus, graded close or moderate.

Price per ml is the honest comparison. Perfume oils look cheap per bottle but come in 10 ml vials; a 100 ml Middle-Eastern EDP at $35 is $0.35/ml and usually the strongest performer in the group. Extraits from clone houses sit in between.
