Where people disagree

• “based on how many people said it was a spot on dupe, i figured it was worth it. (I was too optimistic about liking the scent). It smells like straight sunscreen on me”

  reddit post ↗

• “Hard disagree here. I keep thinking it will change. I purchased immediately but all I get is a slightly juicy lightly gingery- coconut. It's SO different.”

  reddit ↗

• “Fine'ry No Prince Required smells like a bright fresh sweet coconut. Supposed to be a dupe for Killian Princess- but I don't get that at all.”

  reddit ↗

• “I don’t love it. It doesn’t have that gingery green tea note like princess does. I would say it’s similar, but I would try a different dupe.”

  reddit ↗

• “I tried it and smells so different from Princess to me, like no similarity whatsoever.”

  reddit ↗

• Reviewers generally consider Secret Duchess a strong, similar-vibe dupe, though several note it has stronger matcha and less sweet marshmallow than the original.
• Users report that Secret Duchess offers significantly better longevity than Princess at a much more affordable price.

Where people agree

  reddit ↗

• “I love it but can’t afford it, so I get Oakcha Secret Duchess which I think is a pretty good match”

  reddit ↗

• “Secret Duchess (Kilian Princess), and Pearl Earring (FM Portrait of a Lady). They’re all pretty spot on, and in the case of Secret Duchess and Morning Rain, the longevity is way better than the originals”

  reddit ↗

• “I have the oakcha. It smells very similar to princess. I’ve had it for about 2 years now. At first the longevity was similar to Killian but now if I spray too much it chokes me and last for HOURS”

  reddit ↗

• “The only other Princess dupe I've liked is Oakcha's Secret Duchess. It's VERY good. It has a harder edge than Princess, a little more lemongrass, the ginger a little spicier, and the matcha latte of Princess is gone. However the marshmallow”

Where people disagree

• “I had purchased Oakcha Secret Duchess and it doesn't come close”

  reddit post ↗

• “Princess on the other hand- I've heard Oakchas dupe isn't that great”

  reddit ↗

• “The Kilian Princess dupe smelled like unscented hand soap (Dial) and a synthetic jasmine. A side by side comparison with the real scent was laughable.”

  reddit ↗

• “I also have the Oakcha dupe and I totally agree that it’s missing the green tea note!”

  reddit ↗

• “Oakcha has the closest dupe (Secret Duchess) but there’s something in there that really heavy and green that results in the scent not drying down with an airiness like the original.”

  reddit ↗

• Reddit consensus rates The Princess Princess as very close to Kilian's Princess once dried down, though some find it slightly greener, more powdery, and less sweet.

• One commenter noted a cleaning-product opening, while another mentioned it is only marginally cheaper per ounce than the original.

Where people agree

• “I'll always use the DUA version of Princess which I prefer to the original for lasting power and the strength of the notes.”

  reddit ↗

• “I also have Dua's version of Princess and countless Middle Eastern dupes that I love.”

  reddit ↗

• “I have the Dua clone for Kilian's Princess and it's fantastic, even stronger and better performance than the OG. I actually prefer it to the OG and will probably just buy that instead from now on (priced only a bit cheaper than the OG, at a”

  reddit ↗

• “I have both Oakcha and Duas versions as well as the original in a travel size I feel like the Dua is better imo its more concentrated and lasts longer.”

  reddit ↗

• “Killian Princess(I prefer the Dua or Juliana dupe for longevity)”

  reddit post ↗

Where people disagree

• “It has cleaning product vibes when first sprayed but once it dries down it smells a lot more like the OG. Its a bit powdery and I’d say maybe a little less sweet than the OG as well.”
