1. J’Adore By Dio
This exquisitely designed fragrance, which is the house of Dior’s most feminine scent for women, strikes the ideal balance between floral and fruity notes, making it a timeless scent that is both sensual and sweet. But being one of Dior’s best also means it’s incredibly pricey; it costs an astounding INR 17,200. (150ml). So choose the affordable substitute below if you like floral and fruity flavors!
My recommendation: Girl Edit by Tommy Hilfiger
Tommy Hilfiger’s Girl EDIT, which costs INR 4,300 for 100 ml, is a superior substitute for Dior’s J’Adore. This scent, which is floral and delicious as well, is an honest representation of the American countryside.

At INR 2,495, Titan’s Amalfi Bleu is a perfect substitute for L’Eau D’lssey (90ml). Its invigorating aquatic aroma transports you to the Amalfi Coast’s turquoise waves while also evoking the essence of orange leaves and blossoming flowers floating in the breeze of the Mediterranean!
