Perfect Stranger is ideal for those who prefer subtlety in their fragrance.

Why choose Perfect Stranger

Most people searching for a not a perfume dupe just want that clean, skin-like Cetalox scent without the designer price tag. What we make is our own formulation, built in Provence using suppliers from the same region as the big luxury houses. Perfect Stranger starts from $29 because you're paying for what's in the bottle, not retail markups or marketing campaigns. If minimalist musks are your thing, our Cetalox perfume collection and wider musk fragrance range are worth a browse too.

How long does it last?

Perfect Stranger is blended at Extrait-level concentration, around 30% aromatic compounds, which puts it above most designer Eau de Parfums. On skin, that translates to wear that can last up to all day from a morning application. Cetalox is a quiet ingredient by nature, so expect a soft, close-to-skin presence rather than a room-filler. It sits comfortably alongside our other long-lasting perfumes in performance, just with a subtler projection.

Try it risk-free

Fragrance is personal, and skin scents especially so. Cetalox smells slightly different on everyone, which is exactly the appeal. That's why every order comes with our 30-day risk-free guarantee. Wear it, live with it, and if it's not right, send it back. Order three or more bottles and return postage is free as well, plus you'll unlock volume discounts of up to 25%. Full details are on our returns policy page.

A 50ml bottle lasts roughly 2 to 3 months with daily use, so at this price point, running out isn't the financial event it used to be.

The finest French ingredients.

We source our scents from Provence, the world’s perfume capital. Our products are Colourant & UV filter-free, vegan & cruelty-free.

Try first, decide later.

Perfumes are personal, which is why you can try out as many full-sized bottles as you like for 30-days, risk-free, If any scent is not right for you, just send it back for a full refund or exchange. Return postage is also free when you buy 3 or more bottles - so get trying!

Got questions?

This depends on your usage habits. On average, one of our 50ml bottles will last for approximately 2-3 months when used once per day.

Yes. Our perfumes are made with a concentration of 20-30% aromatic compounds. This technically classifies all our perfumes as Extrait de Parfum, which makes them extremely long lasting. But we usually use the term Eau de Parfum because most people have never heard of Extrait (despite the fact that our perfumes are technically stronger than EDP).

Customer video review of Perfect Stranger

I love this perfume its so minimalist when you get tired of smelling like gourmand it's a perfect break and huge compliment getter when ypu think you just a lovely scent bubble this one trails. Awesome 🤘🏼 🖤🩶🤍

Amazing wood scent! And quite long lasting.Quick delivery too.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Sounds like a win! Thanks for sharing the love :)

Customer video review of Perfect Stranger

Love love LOVE this scent! Bought a few Àerre scents as Xmas gifts for family and one for me. I can’t see myself spending four times the price on the designer version again. I adore the considered minimalist design too - the lid attaches magnetically to the bottle so it won’t come off in my bag (as some more expensive perfumes have, spilling everywhere!). Please consider making a version of Juliette has a Gun ‘Lust for Sun’ too 🤞🏼🙏🏼

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Thanks so much! So glad you’re loving it! 🥰 Perfect picks for you and the fam, and that magnetic lid is a lifesaver! Thanks for the Lust for Sun suggestion — we’ll keep it in mind🧡

Customer photo review of Perfect Stranger

I currently have a bottle of Juliette Has A Gun “Juliette”. Not sure how different it is from Not A Perfume, but this is the only one out of 6 that hasn’t wowed me. All perfumes need time to sit a minute, particularly the affordable dupes, and this one does go on very chemically but “settles” nicely, but very light and can’t confidently say it’s spot on. Definitely “in the family” similar, but just not wild about it.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Thanks for your honest feedback – we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts.🧡

Customer photo review of Perfect Stranger

I’ve fallen instantly in love with this perfume Perfect Stranger! I bought it because I like Juliette Has a Gun’s Not a Perfume. But Perfect Stranger, while certainly giving that Cetalox scent, is actually nicer than Not a Perfume to me! It’s sweet, a little citrusy, a little musky, but most of all it smells like warm clean skin. It makes me think of spring in Sydney when the Woollsia and Jasmine bloom. A little goes a long way (don’t spray loads of it because it’s potent). The scent has good lasting power. Great value too! I will buy this one again for sure.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for this gorgeous review!😍 Can’t wait to pack up your next bottle when you’re ready!✨🧡

Absolutely beautiful fragrance Lasts on my skin and I get compliments Would definately recommend

Perfect Stranger

Customer photo review of Perfect Stranger

Love the fragrance (perfect strangers)...a lot, unfortunately it doesn't last any longer than half an hour at most. I thought it was maybe just me but not one person has noticed I'm wearing it. 4 stars for the fragrance only. I would rate the longevity a 1.

Perfect Stranger

Customer photo review of Perfect Stranger

Nice light fragrance. The only drawback is I kept spaying it 🤪

Perfect Stranger

Customer video review of Perfect Stranger

4 stars as I am sure it is exactly like the original. But I cannot smell it on me after a few minutes. So I have to layer it with something else. I trust Aerre, I already own around 6 other scents and they are all true to their inspiration. If you like Not a Perfume, I am sure you will love this.

Perfect Stranger

Customer photo review of Perfect Stranger

I know everyone likes Aeere but maybe I just chose wrong perfume I will do more research before ordering next time

Customer video review of Perfect Stranger

Front row on my selection of perfumes! I couldn’t compare Perfect Stranger to the original one but this is the best! Love love love the smell, not strong but very fresh and elegant. Could wear anytime of the day at any season. My new fave!!!

Perfect Stranger

Customer video review of Perfect Stranger

It’s my first time to blind buy a perfume because I’m a bit picky, but I have no regrets buying this! It smells so nice and it lasts! Smells so luxurious. I can’t recommend it enough!

Perfect Stranger

Beautiful. A little strong at first but eases back for a nice subtle fragrance.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: So glad you’re enjoying it! 😊 Thanks for sharing 💕

This is a great dupe of Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume. It's extremely close to the original. I would say that Juliette is a little softer and smells slightly sweeter, but for the price point, Aerre is amazing. You would not know the difference unless you had both bottles side by side. I like to use this one more and save Juliette for extra special times as it is expensive. Perfect Stranger also pairs well with all other perfumes as it is more about how you smell.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Love this feedback — thank you!🥰 So glad you’re enjoying it and that it holds up so closely. We love that you’re layering it too✨

Absolutely love the fresh, captivating smell. Delivery was lightning fast and the seller was brilliant to deal with!”

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: So glad you’re loving it! 😍 Thanks so much for your support 💕

I absolutely love this scent. It’s my everyday go too and I always get compliments on how I smell anytime I wear it. I feel as a maturing female with 2 kids & a busy job it’s the perfect scent of professional and lasts all day!

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: That's awesome! We love hearing that this scent fits perfectly into your routine and brings you so many lovely compliments. ✨

Easy!

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Amazing! Thanks for choosing Àerre! :)

Very weak smell unfortunately. Does smell close to the original but scent lasts 1 hour if that on skin and clothes.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the longevity didn’t meet your expectations. Please reach out to us at hello@aerre.co so we can help. 🧡

Love this alluring scent

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: So glad you’re loving it 💛 alluring scents are always a win 😍

Really nice light fragrance. I can smell it but apparently no one else can. I don't use a lot as I'm quite smell sensitive but purchased it for this reason. No headaches which is great. Feels really nice

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. Hope you continue enjoying wearing it! 🧡

Love the fragrance!

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: So glad you’re loving the fragrance! 😍 Thanks for the support — enjoy every spritz!

Great scent very well made and blended

Perfect Stranger

I LOVE this fragrance for a fresh/clean/cool water 90’s aldehyde moment.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Thank you so much!😊

There is a bit of an undefinable infatuation with Perfect Stranger. I never tire of it!

Perfect Stranger

Love this alluring scent, great packaging quick delivery

Perfect Stranger

They smell exactly the same, i love the magnetic cap and the price is amazing

Perfect Stranger

The smell is close but the longevity is very poor in comparison to the original

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Thanks for your feedback 😊 Glad to hear it’s close to the original, and we appreciate your note on longevity — we’ll take it on board 💕

I had a really amazing experience with aerre! This perfume is so DELICIOUS! Love love love.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Yay! So thrilled you loved it — thanks for the amazing feedback 😍

Scents not very true to its supposed dupe, not very strong, don’t last very long especially the top notes.

Perfect Stranger

Love it!! Makes me feel good and smells amazing!

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Love that! 😍 So glad it makes you feel good and smells amazing!✨

Love these products, and thank you for labelling with “inspired by” because l do it myself for other dupes. The magnetic lid is really helpful too. Good thinking Aerre!

Perfect Stranger

Wayyy too intense and headache inducing

Perfect Stranger

Perfect clean scent, super long lasting like all their perfumes

Perfect Stranger

it's really fresh, clean, subtle and sophisticated.

Perfect Stranger

Store owner replied: Love that! So glad you’re enjoying the fresh, clean and subtle vibes ✨

The perfume has very strong smell alcohol and not last long enough as it should be comparing to other brands that have same price
