I saved £313 at M&S by stocking up on perfume dupes – they all cost less than £10
A SAVVY shopper saved £313 at Marks and Spencer by stocking up on perfume dupes.
Fragrance dupes are in vogue, and while they might not be the real thing, the perfume impersonators pack a punch for a tenth of the price.

Tilly Alexander hit Marks and Spencer to find the best deals, MyLondon reports.
The multinational retailer offers a plethora of dupes but the most sought after copies are of Chanel No.5, YSL Black Opium and Lancôme La Vie Est Belle.
And for an 100ml bottle, it will set you back just £9.50.
Tilly reviewed each dupe to see how close they compared to the originals.
Chanel No. 5 dupe: Velvet Rose
Chanel No. 5 is the most famous perfume in the world but M&S’s clone Velvet Rose is pretty close
Tilly said: “Clean, soapy and definitely not stereotypically feminine all sprang to mind.
“Bold and fresh but also kind of like you’ve just washing the dishes with Fairy.”
At only £9.50 for 100ml, Velvet Rose is an impressive £116.50 cheaper than the real Chanel No.5.

Tilly said: “The fragrance profile is described as floral, fruity and gourmand.”
A bottle of Lancome La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum will set you back £97.20.

YSL Black Opium dupe: Midnight Blossom
YSL’s Black Opium Eau De Parfum dupe is another top seller and is called Midnight Blossom.
Tilly said: “Even with only the minutest of spritzes, the scent was unmistakably a deep, heady floral.”
Marks and Spencer’s Midnight Blossom costs £9.50 for 100ml compared to YSL’s for £108 for 90ml.
