Ranked by how many people have rated each perfume — the most-worn and most-discussed first. Every row already has a cheaper match; see the method box for the floor. Every perfume links to its own page with the full ranked list of alternatives and where to buy.

How this list was ranked

Ranked by popularity, not our opinion. Rows are Initio’s perfumes with the most public ratings — that is what "initio dupes" searchers mean, not an editor’s shortlist.
Every row already has a cheaper match — that is a filter, not a footnote. A Initio perfume is dropped, not annotated, when it has no rank-1 alternative priced under it. At least 1,000 ratings and $50+ in price; 14 Initio perfumes cleared those two floors, and the 14 shown all clear the third.
Discontinued perfumes are excluded. A list you buy from should not lead with a bottle no retailer stocks.
The cheaper match is AltScent’s rank-1 alternative, shown only when it scores 85 or better. Similarity is an AI-generated estimate informed by community opinion; it describes perceived scent character and is not a statement of fact.
Prices are estimates of a full bottle in USD and vary by retailer, size and time.
