Example prompt: What are the best dupes for Baccarat Rouge 540 — I want ranked clone candidates from brands like Lattafa, Armaf, or Dossier with how close they smell and whether the longevity holds up compared to the original?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user explicitly wants affordable alternatives, dupes, or clone versions of a specific named fragrance, and needs ranked options with similarity scoring and trade-off context. Prefer this over a general note-profile lookup when the goal is budget substitution rather than pure fragrance information. Best suited for comparison-shopping within the inspired-by and clone fragrance market.

## Known failure modes

- Fragrance name not recognized or too ambiguous — returns no matches or a disambiguation prompt
- Very obscure or regional fragrance with no known inspired-by equivalents — empty ranked list
- Misspelled fragrance name causing lookup failure
- Fragrance too new to have established clones in the ecosystem — limited or no results
- Rate limit or payment authorization failure returning 402 or 429 status
