Rating: 1/5 Aldi's Hotel Collection No. 14 Velvety Rose Eau De Parfum Dupe for: Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud The sensual scent of Lacura Lady Pour Femme boasts dark notes of sandalwood and tonka bean that complement undertones of orange blossom and Bulgarian rose. Escentric Molecules perfume dupe Aldi Atom The supermarket chain also has a range of perfumes, which look and smell strangely familiar. Aldi's 'Hotel Collection' perfumes have a similar vibe to the Jo Malone fragrance range, but come in at a tiny fraction of the price of course.

How can you be sure they’re actually similar scents to the original? Do they last as long or smell as strong as you’d like? My go-to perfume is Thierry Mugler’s Alien and has been for the last few years. It’s rare that I’ll deviate from it, but I recently came across a good dupe that’s useful on the days I don’t fancy wearing my good perfume.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I like a stronger perfume for an evening scent. Aldi have done a good job in trying to replicate the smell though, and I think if you haven't worn the Jo Malone version before, you'd be impressed with the dupe. Rating: 4/5 Aldi's Hotel Collection No. 3 Pomegranate Eau De Parfum Dupe for: Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir With decent perfumes being pretty pricey, I’m often on the hunt for a good dupe so was keen to try Superdrug’s Layering Lab range. The first thing I noticed was the smell as soon as I took the lid off before I'd even sprayed the product. Straight away it smelt very familiar, so this was a positive first impression. I don’t think I’m quite ready to abandon Alien, but Superdrug’s Blossom certainly makes a decent stand in.

Blossom is just as floral and feels just as luxurious as Alien, but certainly doesn’t last as long. Unscrew the collar, remove the bottle disc and replace the collar. Insert the reeds through the collar and immerse in the oil. Turn the reeds after 6-8 hours and the fragrance will fully bloom within 36 hours. Keep product upright in a secure place. I couldn’t get my hands on the eau de toilette, but I did get the body mist - and it didn’t disappoint. And with so many to choose from on the shelves of your local Boots, Superdrug and supermarkets, where do you even start?

Jo Malone's Velvet Rose & Oud has been my go-to evening perfume for the last few years, so when I first came across Aldi's Hotel Collection No. 14 Velvety Rose, I didn't quite know how to feel. Lacura E1 Exclusive Only = Dior Miss Dior OR Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Rosé (mixed opinions on this one) There’s a host of fragrances to choose from in the lineup, each an apparent dupe of a high end product. I love Superdug’s own brand products as they’re so affordable, and each item is cruelty free. Aldi is certainly know for its dupes, from its Cuthbert the Caterpillar controversy and 'Mint Bubbly' take on Aeros, to its Lacura range, which has versions of best-selling beauty products by Liz Earle, Nivea, Pixi and more. While I’m usually comfortable in the knowledge that I’ve used Alien in the morning and it’ll last all day, I took to carrying Blossom around with me as it seemed to fade after an hour or two.I opted for Superdrug’s Layering Lab Body Mist in the scent Paradise, which is meant to be a dupe of Paco Rabanne’s popular fragrance Olympea.
