Aldi's £4.99 perfume smells just like Chanel, Dior and Carolina Herrera fragrances

Budget supermarket Aldi has released a £4.99 perfume that is being compared to Chanel and Dior.

Aldi ’s Lacura E1 Exclusive Eau De Parfum, which costs £4.99, has been described as “almost identical” to Chanel’s Chance and a “dupe” of Carolina Herrera’s 212 VIP Rose.

With a 100ml bottle of Chance coming in at £113 online and 212 Rose at £125, there’s definitely a bargain to be had if you’re looking for your favourite perfume on a budget.

According to the Aldi website, the Lacura perfume is “fresh, sensual and feminine. Top notes include pink champagne, while its heart note is peach tree blossom. Finally, the base notes are Queen woods, musk and amber.”

While, Carolina Herrara’s 212 VIP Rose is described as a “glamorous opening of champagne rosé is followed up with, a playfully seductive heart of peach blossom. The luxurious Queen wood and radiant amber complete the colourful, feminine base.”

Similarly, Chanel’s Chance features notes of pink pepper, jasmine, amber patchouli, white musks and vanilla.

One shopper compared the Lacura product with Chanel, saying she “couldn’t tell the difference” between the two.

Another said: “Smelt in shops and knew instantly it was VIP 212 Rose”, while someone said “It's a dupe for 212 VIP rosé Carolina Herrera. Such a bargain!”

One shopper compared the fragrance to Miss Dior and said: “Smells just like Miss Dior! Great value, especially if you’re like me and use a lot, good for everyday, I’ve just bought another 4 bottles.”

Lacura E1 Exclusive Eau De Parfum is available in store and online for £4.99.
