‘Smells exactly the same’, shoppers filling baskets with £3.99 dupe of iconic perfume that sells for £72
BARGAIN hunters have been quick to share an iconic perfume dupe that could save shoppers nearly £70 – but you’ll need to be quick before it disappears from shelves.
Found in B&M for just £3.99, the fan “favourite” eau de toilette “smells exactly the same” as the original.
Taking to Facebook, one eagle-eyed shopper posted a picture of the supposed duplicate item that could be perfect for those looking for reasonably priced gifts in the run up to Christmas.
Advertised on the B&M website while stocks last, those hoping to nab a bottle of the “elegant” and “romantic” fragrance may want to head to their local store to check shelves.
Boasting a “timeless feminine” allure, the Scent Favourites Scandale Femme comes in a 100ml stunning pink bottle shaped like a women’s torso.
The post has already garnered social media attention with many suggesting the incredible find to be a Jean Paul Gaultier dupe.
Featuring the corseted feminine bust-shape, the dupe even seems to have replicated the bottle into a similar form.
The original was created in 1993 and boasts notes of sweet orange, pear and star anise.
Currently on sale at Perfume Price for £72.95, it seems to have been discounted from £104, meaning the dupe offers buyers an even greater saving.
A classic spray known for its feminine, floral and rich base, those using the signature scent may want to give the B&M offer a go.
One Facebook user commented: “I bought this the other day, it’s amazing for the price and pretty much lasts all day, I love it.”
Another wrote: “Good find x.”
Someone else said: “Bought a couple of these the other day for my granddaughters, I’m sure they will love them.”
A fourth put: “My favourite too.”
While another commented: “I’m gonna go and get some and see.”
Shoppers heading to their local branch to check for stock might want to phone up ahead to avoid disappointment.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
