Fragrance

Compared by full ingredient list. It does not mean concentration or texture are identical, and prices are as of the listed time.

Before you reach for this dupe

  • If you are sensitive to fragrance, try a little on your inner arm first.

How skin responds to ingredients varies from person to person. If your skin is sensitive or you have a specific condition, check with a doctor first.

Disclaimer

This comparison is based on full-ingredient (INCI) data published under cosmetics law.

Shared ingredients mean the full-ingredient lists overlap, not that blend concentrations match; how a product feels can differ by formulation and origin.

Prices are market-verified against Naver and Coupang and may differ from official store prices; discounts and temporary changes may not be reflected, so check the seller before buying.

For sensitive skin, eczema, pregnancy or other special cases, please do not decide on this analysis alone and consult a dermatologist.
