‘They smell identical’ shoppers rush to buy Aldi’s £5.99 dupe of £119 designer scent as it finally returns to stores
IF you’re obsessed with desginer perfumes but not the hefty price tag that comes with them, than listen up.
Aldi has done it again with their scent-sational perfume dupes and you’ll want to act fast to get your hands on them.
The budget supermarket has released three more perfume dupes for the summer and they were quick to sell out last time they were on shelves.
First up is their popular Lacura Je Suis Belle Eau de Parfum which retails for £5.99 and is in stores now.
It’s a clear dupe of Lancôme’s popular La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum, which costs hefty £119.
Luckily, with Aldi you can grab the scent for £113 cheaper and both
Both fragrances include notes of black currant, pear, orange blossom, jasmine and tonka bean for a sweet, fruity scent.
On social media beauty fans have raved about how similar the two smell.
@vpwfitness shared the two fragrances across her TikTok, commenting on how they “smell identical.”
One follower responded with “I’ve got both of these, they’re basically the same”
And that’s not all, Aldi have also released their version of Victor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb which retails for £130 for 100ml compared to Lacura’s which is £5.99.
Both contain notes of mixed flowers including; Centifolia Rose, Sambac Jasmine, Cattleya Orchid, India Osmanthus.
Aldi bosses say: “Floral Love is a celebration of all things floral with notes of rose, freesia and African orange flower, complemented by darker, woody aromas of bergamot, musk, patchouli, and creamy vanilla.
“Capturing the essence of sophistication, this bottle of botanical bliss will transport wearers to a world of delight.
Meanwhile, the German retailer has also brought out a dupe of Marc Jacob’s Decadence perfume which is usually £86.95.
But you can save yourself a massive £80 with Lacura’s Luxe perfume which is available for £5.99.
Best beauty dupes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.
“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact.
REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.

The green bottle encapsulates the woody and earthy scent of the fragrance notes.
Both include notes of saffron, iris rose, jasmine and woody vetiver and papyrus.
You can also find some stunning designer make-up dupes in stores too.
Aldi‘s Collagen Lip Oil is priced at just £2.99 and promises to keep your lips “nourished and hydrated” and looks very similar to cult-favourite Charlotte Tilbury‘s Magic Lip Oil.
It contains collagen, shea butter and vitamin E and comes in an 8ml tube, making it perfect for storing in your handbag.
Lacura’s Luminous Filter foundation has a choice of six shades, meaning there is something to suit almost all skin tones and is perfect as a light-weight base for summer.
It is priced at £4.99, and promises to achieve “radiant results”.
