DO you love designer perfume but can’t justify frequently splashing out on the price tag?
A bargain hunter has shared how found the perfect dupe for Gucci Floral’s Gorgeous Jasmine scent, which typically costs £76.
Thankfully, her purse-friendly alternative is just £6.99 in Aldi, marking a saving of a whopping £69.
The woman showed how thinks the supermarket’s Lacura Meadow Bouquet smells nearly identical.
And judging from the green, floral packaging it even looks remarkably similar too.
Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK., she showed snaps of her cheap find.
She wrote: “Aldi dupe £6.99 this one smells amazing there’s also a red one and a yellow one.”
According to the Gucci website, their Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine has notes of Grandiflorum jasmine, combined with base notes of sandalwood and benzoin.
And many people agreed the Aldi one holds its own against the designer scent.
One person wrote: “ I bought this its amazing.”
A second added: “OMG that’s amazing my favourites.”
A third commented: “Neeeeed to try!!”
And it’s not the only Aldi dupe causing a stir with another budget fragrance being compared to a Victoria Beckham scent.
TikToker Jo was among those to get her hands on the £6.99 version of Posh’s £170 perfume – Portofino ’97 Eau de Parfum – and urged people to “run” to Aldi to pick up one for themselves.
She held up a box of the Classic Italia fragrance as she said in a video on her TikTok page: “When I found out that the latest Aldi drop, they were actually doing these perfumes, I ran.
“You cannot have enough of this perfume on you. It is exquisite. It is £6.99.
“You need to get this!”
