Beauty fans race to nab £1.99 Sol De Janeiro dupe – it smells ‘unreal’ & lasts for ages but it’s not from Aldi or Lidl
A BEAUTY fan has shared a new dupe of the viral Sol De Janeiro scents and you’ll be able to save 80% off.
The savvy shopper took to social media to rave about the new beauty dupe.
While many have found similar ones in Aldi and Lidl, which have received glowing reviews, this particular dupe was much easier to get your hands on as they aren’t a limited-time product.
Taking to Facebook, Didova Reneta revealed: “”Sol De Janeiro dupes in Farmfoods, £1.99.
“The smell is unreal.”
She shared a picture of the scent she got from the brand Enliven which was similar to Sol De Janeiro’s scent 68 which retails for £20 in Boots.
The Fresca Blooms scent has 150ml of product and costs just £1.99 from Farmfoods and has notes of Jasmine and Caramel.
The original designer scent is described as having notes of Brazilian Jasmine, Pink Dragonfruit, Ocean Air and a sheer touch of Tropicalia Vanilla illuminated by Sun Musk.
Not only did she say the smell was incredible, she also said it lasts on the skin for ages – and others shared the same sentiment in the comments section of the post.
Plus, if you don’t have a Farmfoods near you, many said you could get the scent in Morrisons too.
The new collection has three scents, Fresca Bloom, Tropical Bliss and Brazilian Moonflower.
Tropical Bliss is similar to the designer’s first scent, 62, which has scents of salted caramel and pistachio.
Brazilian Moonflower has notes of jasmine, amber and pear much like Sol De Janeiro’s new scent 58 which also has notes of amber.
The post was a hit on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, which boasts over 2.5 million members.
People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.

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.

“Yes,” replied Didova.
Another commented: “Yeh I can confirm we have the yellow one and it’s identical.”
“Need one of these,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I got these in Morrisons they smell fab.”
“I have the blue one, it’s sooooo good!” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Now who’s making me spend money.”
