# Rouge Trafalgar Dupes 2026: 4 Clones vs the Original

Four Dior Rouge Trafalgar dupes compared by Parfumo votes and listed notes, from Trafalga to Ria. Every vote base is small, so wear the original in 3ml or 10ml before you buy a clone bottle.

**We sell only the originals.** Every perfume we sell is the authentic original, decanted from the perfume house’s own bottle. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. We never sell dupes, clones or inspired-by perfumes. This guide compares the dupes other houses make of Rouge Trafalgar, so you can choose, or wear the original first.

[Or try the original from €18.63](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-rouge-trafalgar)

## Quick answer

Of four clones, the best Rouge Trafalgar dupe overall is Trafalga by Abaco: 18 of 23 Parfumo users find it similar, though it is the dearest per ml. Rouge Paris by RP is the closest on the dry-down, and Hawwa (red) by Zimaya has the lowest price per ml. Every vote base here is small. Want the real thing? [Rouge Trafalgar](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-rouge-trafalgar) is €47.34 for a 10ml decant at 10ML.

You can try the original, [Rouge Trafalgar](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-rouge-trafalgar), at 10ML as a 10 ml decant, before you choose a dupe.

## What does Rouge Trafalgar smell like?

[Rouge Trafalgar](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-rouge-trafalgar) is a unisex Eau de Parfum from Dior, launched in 2020. The top is a basket of fruit: cherry, mandarin orange, [raspberry](https://10ml.com/notes/raspberry) and strawberry. The heart pairs [black currant](https://10ml.com/notes/black-currant) with [grapefruit](https://10ml.com/notes/grapefruit). The base is [musk](https://10ml.com/notes/musk) and [patchouli](https://10ml.com/notes/patchouli). A clone therefore has three things to aim at: the fruit basket, the tart currant and grapefruit heart, and a plain musk and patchouli finish.

Dior also makes a Rouge Trafalgar Esprit de Parfum. 10ML does not sell it, and none of the four picks below is compared with it. Parfumo's comparison pages, quoted below, measure each clone against the Eau de Parfum.

## Wear the original first

The clones here are small labels with small vote bases, so the original is the best reference you can hold. [Rouge Trafalgar](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-rouge-trafalgar) comes as a 3ml decant at €18.63 (€6.21/ml), about 60 sprays, and as a 10ml decant at €47.34 (€4.73/ml), about 200. Wear it for a few days and note whether you like the fruit, the currant or the musk. That tells you which clone to look for.

## Best overall: Trafalga

Trafalga by Abaco leads on its vote line: the highest share of the four, on the second-largest base. Parfumo lists the original's own set of notes for it: cherry, mandarin orange, raspberry and strawberry on top, blackcurrant and grapefruit in the heart, patchouli and musk at the base.

The main difference is therefore not in the lists, because they agree. It is the price: Trafalga has the highest price per ml of the priced picks, as the table shows. Note lists record which notes are present and give no sense of proportion, so the lists leave the real gap open.

It suits you if you want the pick with the strongest evidence and are willing to pay more per ml for it. Choose it when a matching list matters more to you than a low price.

Evidence from Parfumo's votes: [Parfumo's comparison page shows 18 of 23 users finding Rouge Trafalgar and Trafalga similar](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Dior/rouge-trafalgar-eau-de-parfum/vs/Abaco/trafalga). The sample is small.

## Closest on the dry-down: Rouge Paris

Rouge Paris by RP lists the same fruit as the original: cherry, mandarin orange, raspberry and strawberry on top, with blackcurrant and grapefruit in the heart. Its base is musk and patchouli, exactly as the original's.

The main difference is thinner evidence. Only 14 voters weighed in, and Parfumo shows no release year. No price appears for Rouge Paris in the table, since we could not read one live.

It fits readers who care about the dry-down, because the listed base matches. Choose it after you have worn the original and found the musk and patchouli finish is the reason you like it. Trafalga has the larger vote base if you would rather lean on numbers.

Evidence from Parfumo's votes: [Parfumo's comparison page shows 9 of 14 users finding the original and Rouge Paris similar](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Dior/rouge-trafalgar-eau-de-parfum/vs/rp/rouge-paris). The sample is small.

## Lowest price: Hawwa (red)

Hawwa (red) by Zimaya sits lowest on price per ml among the priced picks, and it has the largest vote base of the four. It shares raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, grapefruit, musk and patchouli with the original.

The main difference is in the wording of the lists. Parfumo gives it cassia orange on top, lily and peach beside the blackcurrant and grapefruit, and vanilla at the base. It has no cherry, no mandarin orange. So on paper it adds lily, peach and vanilla to the original's fruit.

It suits you if a low price per ml is the priority and you can accept the fruit framed another way. Choose it when peach and vanilla appeal more than cherry.

Evidence from Parfumo's votes: [Parfumo's comparison page shows 16 of 24 users finding the original and Hawwa (red) similar](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Dior/rouge-trafalgar-eau-de-parfum/vs/zimaya/hawwa-red). That is a lower share than Trafalga's 18 of 23 or Ria's 12 of 16, so the sample is small and split.

## Softer take: Ria

Ria by Khadlaj shares cherry, mandarin orange, raspberry, strawberry, grapefruit, musk, blackcurrant and patchouli with the original. Parfumo dates it to 2025.

The main difference is the arrangement. Going by the lists, Ria moves musk into the heart and drops blackcurrant to the base, so the tart currant no longer sits beside the grapefruit. The label rests on that reshuffle alone.

It suits you if you want to try the original's notes in a different order. Choose it when a musk-led heart sounds more comfortable than a currant-led one.

Evidence from Parfumo's votes: [Parfumo's comparison page shows 12 of 16 users finding the original and Ria similar](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Dior/rouge-trafalgar-eau-de-parfum/vs/Khadlaj/ria). The sample is small.

## Similar original perfumes we stock

Originals on our shelves that share part of Rouge Trafalgar's note list. None of them is a clone.

| # | Perfume | Main notes | 3 ml | 10 ml |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | [Burberry Burberry Her](https://10ml.com/perfumes/burberry-her) | Lists strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, sour cherry, black currant and mandarin orange on top, violet and jasmine in the heart, and musk, vanilla and patchouli among its base notes. Shares raspberry, black currant, mandarin orange, musk and patchouli. | €8.91 (€2.97/ml) | €25.74 (€2.57/ml) |
| 2 | [Dior Joy by Dior](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-joy) | Lists bergamot and mandarin orange on top, cassis, jasmine, rose and peach in the heart, and white musk, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli at the base. Shares mandarin orange and patchouli. | €9.45 (€3.15/ml) | €26.19 (€2.62/ml) |

## What every clone gets wrong

None of the four has a deep vote base, and each one bends the formula a little. Trafalga carries a price tag, Rouge Paris carries few voters, Hawwa (red) swaps the fruit and Ria swaps the order. A list is a list, not a smell.

Parfumo's counts show how many members clicked "similar", and with 14 to 24 voters a few clicks move a share a long way. Treat each line above as a starting point for trying the original, not a ruling.

## Clone bottle or a decant of the original?

The original is a pricey decant per ml, so the gap to the clones is wide. Per ml, every priced clone sits far below the decant: the 10ml decant works out at €4.73/ml.

As whole bottles the picture changes. The Hawwa (red) bottle costs less than the 3ml decant and the 10ml decant. The Ria bottle costs less than the 10ml decant and more than the 3ml decant. The Trafalga bottle costs more than both. So a decant costs less than the Trafalga bottle, and the 3ml decant costs less than the Ria bottle, but both decants cost more than the Hawwa (red) bottle. What a decant tells you is whether the original is worth chasing, or whether a clone will do.

The [perfume price per ml index](https://10ml.com/guides/perfume-price-per-ml-index) puts these figures in a wider context. [Decant vs full bottle](https://10ml.com/guides/decant-vs-full-bottle) compares the two formats, and [what a perfume decant is](https://10ml.com/guides/what-is-a-perfume-decant) starts from scratch.

## Similar originals 10ML sells

Four originals that 10ML decants share some notes with this perfume. They sit outside the clone ranking.

- [Burberry Her](https://10ml.com/perfumes/burberry-her) by Burberry, from 2018, lists strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, sour cherry, black currant and mandarin orange on top, violet and jasmine in the heart, and musk, vanilla and patchouli among its base notes. It shares raspberry, black currant, mandarin orange, musk and patchouli with the original.
- [Joy by Dior](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-joy) from 2018 lists bergamot and mandarin orange on top, cassis, jasmine, rose and peach in the heart, and white musk, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli at the base. It shares mandarin orange and patchouli with the original, and its musk is white musk.
- [Amethyst](https://10ml.com/perfumes/lalique-amethyst) by Lalique, from 2007, lists black currant, blackberry, blueberry, mulberry and strawberry on top, and musk at the base. Parfumo lists it among the original's similar perfumes, but few voters agree: [Parfumo's comparison page shows 3 of 24 users finding Rouge Trafalgar and Amethyst similar](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Dior/rouge-trafalgar-eau-de-parfum/vs/Lalique/Amethyst). Read it as similar in mood only, not as a match.
- [Attrape-Rêves](https://10ml.com/perfumes/louis-vuitton-attrape-reves) by Louis Vuitton, from 2018, lists bergamot, ginger and lychee on top, Turkish rose, peony and cocoa in the heart, and patchouli at the base. Here too the vote is thin: [Parfumo's comparison page shows 4 of 38 users finding Rouge Trafalgar and Attrape-Rêves similar](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Dior/rouge-trafalgar-eau-de-parfum/vs/Louis_Vuitton/Attrape_Rves). Again, similar in mood only.

For the other Dior perfumes, our [Dior dupes guide](https://10ml.com/guides/dior-dupes) and [best Dior perfumes guide](https://10ml.com/guides/best-dior-perfumes) are good next stops, and the [Gris Dior dupes guide](https://10ml.com/guides/gris-dior-dupes) covers a different Dior perfume's clones.

## How to test a dupe

Judge each one on your wrist. A paper strip holds the opening burst; only skin shows how the black currant and grapefruit settle into the musk.

Wear the original on one wrist one day, then a clone on the same spot another day, using the same spray count. Wait until each has settled before you judge the base. Take the red fruit first, then the currant and grapefruit, then the musk and patchouli.

Write short notes. Does Trafalga's price feel justified by what you smell? Does Hawwa (red) lean towards peach? Does Ria's musk heart feel calmer than the original's currant heart?

Hold on to your decant as the benchmark and compare over several days. Only then decide whether a clone bottle earns a place. Our [perfume dupes guide](https://10ml.com/guides/perfume-dupes) runs the same routine across more originals.

## Clone or original? What to know first

### Can I wear Dior Rouge Trafalgar in 3ml or 10ml before choosing a clone?

Yes. Rouge Trafalgar comes as a 3ml decant for €18.63, about 60 sprays, and as a 10ml decant for €47.34, about 200 sprays. A few days of wear shows what you want a clone to keep.

### Which Rouge Trafalgar dupe leads our ranking, and why?

Trafalga by Abaco leads. Parfumo's comparison page shows 18 of 23 users finding it similar, and it lists the same notes as the original. It also has the highest price per ml of the priced picks, and the sample is small.

### How close does Rouge Paris get to Rouge Trafalgar?

On paper it matches closely: Parfumo lists the same fruit, the same heart and a base of musk and patchouli. Its vote line is 9 of 14 users, a small sample, so treat it as a lead worth testing rather than a verdict.

### Which Rouge Trafalgar clone has the lowest price per ml?

Hawwa (red) by Zimaya has the lowest price per ml of the priced picks. Compare per ml rather than per bottle: every priced clone works out far lower than the 10ml decant of the original.

### How much does a Rouge Trafalgar decant cost per ml?

The 3ml decant works out at €6.21/ml and the 10ml decant at €4.73/ml. The larger size lowers the price per ml and covers about 200 sprays.

### Which Rouge Trafalgar dupes keep its black currant and grapefruit heart?

Trafalga and Rouge Paris list blackcurrant and grapefruit in the heart, as the original does. Hawwa (red) lists them beside lily and peach, and Ria moves blackcurrant to the base, so check the lists if that heart is what you want.

### Is there a dupe for Dior's Esprit de Parfum version?

This guide compares clones with the Eau de Parfum only. Dior's Esprit de Parfum is a separate perfume that none of the four picks is compared with here, so these guide votes do not speak for it.

### Does 10ML sell dupes?

No. 10ML sells only original perfumes. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. The dupes in this guide are other houses’ perfumes, and we don’t sell them. You can wear the original first from €18.63.
