This Le Labo Santal 33 dupe is currently on sale for $7 at Big W
There's little we love more than an A+ perfume dupe here at BEAUTYcrew.
The combination of delicious fragrances and palatably low prices really just hits us in that sweet spot y’know? Especially when we find out said dupe is a perfume a celebrity actually wears.
We’re still reeling after discovering that Ariana Grande’s $50 Cloud perfume is the perfect Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe (and that it’s Hailey Bieber’s go-to spritz to boot).
And while we were convinced that this was merely a fluke and a one-off, it turns out we were wrong — there are a hoard of Le Labo Santal 33 dupes available right now.
What does Le Labo Santal 33 smell like?
Le Labo’s Santal 33 ($355 from Le Labo) is a notoriously woody fragrance with notes of Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, leather, cardamon, iris, and musk.

Celebrities that wear Le Labo's Santal 33
"I learned about Le Labo when I started hanging out with Taylor Swift — Santal 33 is the scent she burns all over her house. She wears the fragrance, too," Todrick Hall shared with The Strategist in 201. "It’s one of the best things I’ve ever smelled."
"It’s just so fresh — it’s got sandalwood and cedarwood in it," Rita Ora explained to The Strategist, when the publication asked her about her favourite perfume. "It’s a bit musky and not too sweet — like a natural smell but with outdoor vibes."
According to Jodie Comer — who counts Santal 33 as her signature scent too — she think it smells different on everyone.
"I was working with someone years ago who wore it and I thought it was delicious, so I copied her — and now it's mine!" Comer told Harper's Bazaar. "I'd always know where she'd been in the hotel or where she was in the vicinity because I always smelt her before I saw her."

Is Jennifer Lopez's perfume a dupe for Santal 33?
Taylor Swift isn't the only pop princess obsessed with the Santal scent. Apparently Jennifer Lopez's One Eau De Parfum ($42, usually $49 from Priceline) is an unnervingly convincing dupe for the cult-favourite Le Labo Santal 33 ($355 from Le Labo), and it’s no mere coincidence that the two fragrances smell similar either.
In fact, according to The Cut, Lopez actually bulk orders the Le Labo Santal 26 candle ($130 from Le Labo) — the home fragrance that inspired the brand’s iconic perfume — sometimes ordering anywhere between 100 to 200 units of the burner at a time.
Jennifer Lopez's One ($39.99 from Chemist Warehouse) doesn’t stray far from the iconic formula it’s inspired by, with pink pepper, jasmine, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, moss crystal and suede rounding out the fragrance dupe. And considering Le Labo’s exxy price tag, we owe a lot to Lopez’s raging obsession with the scent, as her own version comes in at a fraction of the price.
But 'One' isn't the only convincing Santal 33 dupe on the market.
