Chanel No. 5 is the most famous perfume in the world but M&S’s clone Velvet Rose is pretty close

ALDI DUPES
The bargain store has released a new line of designer perfume dupes – and they cost a fraction of the price.
One woman took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to show off her finds.
Taking to the group, she wrote: “Someone else posted about the Aldi dupe perfumes.
“I managed to get these but noticed they also had these small perfumes which is good to keep in your bag or for travelling.
“Small perfumes are only £1.99 and I found it by the till area.”
She found two dupes in her local store, including Floral Love which is a dupe for Victor&Rolf Flowerbomb.
The woman also found Je Suis Belle, which is supposedly identical to Lancome’s La Vie est Belle.
Both of the dupes cost just £5.99, but she found an even better bargain by the cash register.
She shared that she bagged herself two mini perfumes – perfect to chuck in your handbag – costing just £1.99.
The smaller fragrances she picked up were a dupe of Carolina Herrera Good Girl and Thierry Mugler’s Angel.
Another woman also found the dupes in her local Aldi, including the scent Luxe, a dupe for Marc Jacobs’ Decadence.
Savvy shopper Emma Sherman shared a list of some of the latest products duping fabulous high end products which start from just £5.
“First we have Gentleman which is Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Male.”
Aldi’s Gentlemen is only £5.99 whereas you would need to spend at least £60 on the Le Male.
“Then we have Ferocious which is Dior Sauavge.”
Inspired by Dior’s famous Sauvage, Aldi’s Ferocious Eau de Toilette is more budget-friendly at £6.99, compared to Dior’s price of £104.
Emma said: “There’s Men’s Power which is Paco Rabanne’s One Million.”
It’s only £5.99 for the Aldi dupe – with the Paco Rabanne prices starting from £75.
And Aldi’s Je Suis Belle which is priced at an affordable £4.99 dupes French fashion house Dior’s Miss Dior.
This luxurious perfume is said to evoke the glamour, elegance and fun of a fashionable New York Party.
M&S DUPES
Beth Turbutt-Rogers, 27, told Fabulous exactly how to experience designer goodies without paying for the label.
The mum of two regularly shares money-saving tips on her TikTok account, The Budgeting Mum.
She made her way to the beauty section she realised there were a tonne of designer perfume dupes available.
Each perfume cost £9.50 for 100ml and some of the dupes included cult classics.
She found Pink Pepper – a dupe for Victor&Rolf Flowerbomb -and Spiced Amber, which is a dupe for Paco Rabann One Million.
The mum also gave Fresh Mandarin a sniff which smelt exactly like Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl, and found another fragrance, Gardenia and Vanilla, which has similar notes to Marc Jacobs Daisy.
Lastly, Beth found a dupe for Lady Million by Paco Rabanne in the M&S perfume, Warm Neroli.
Beth added: “These are some of the best dupes I’ve seen, they literally smell exactly the same and could save you £100 on the real thing.
“They also come in really lovely packaging which I think is uncommon with some dupes I’ve seen, and for that reason, they’d be more giftable.”

HOME BARGAINS DUPES
Home Bargains has long been a favourite for many and this time the store hasn’t disappointed beauty fans either.
One of those amazed by the beauty bargains was the savvy shopper Holly Smith who shared the exciting news to her 570k followers on her TikTok account.
And according to her, there’s no time to waste, so best get scrambling.
”Guys, you need to run to Home Bargains because these body sprays are amazing!”
Demonstrating the collection of the scented must-haves, Holly added that one of them, Xalien, smells exactly like Alien by Mugler.
The only difference between the two is that the cheaper version costs just 99p – whereas the posh one will set you back by roughly £80 for 60ml.
While browsing, Holly also stumbled across a scent named Daisee, which she reckoned was a dupe for Daisy by Marc Jabobs.
If neither of these are your favourites and you’d prefer the viral Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, fear not, as Home Bargains has come out with its own version.
Their body spray Black Poppy is reckoned to be another dupe that won’t break the bank.
