Aldi shoppers go wild for £5 homeware SpecialBuy that's 'the same as' £150 designer version

Supermarket shopper Aldi has sent shoppers wild with the release of a £5 candle. The retailer often surprises shoppers with items that look suspiciously like some of our favourite brands.

The store's new £5 candle is no exception, and people are saying it smells 'just like' a £150 jar sold by candle maker to the stars - Jo Malone. Aldi is calling them 'mandles', because apparently, they're good for men.

On Instagram, Aldi wrote: "Some Dads just like a nice candle, and that’s exactly what these are.

"Pick up a Hotel Collection Dual Fragrance Candle to make his man cave smell amazing this Father’s Day. Find them on the middle aisle from Sunday 12th June."

The candles have already been a hit on social media, with some saying they smell 'exactly like' Jo Malone, which cost £150 (600g). Jo Malone's range includes a English pear and freesia and lime basil and mandarin fragrance and peony and blush suede and pomegranate noir. Aldi's layered wax candles feature a two-wick design and are 450g.

These dual fragrance designs can also be bought in diffuser form, with the Hotel Collection Dual Fragrance Reed Diffusers Set available for £8.99. Aldi’s new Hotel Collection Dual Fragrance Candles and Diffuser Set is available in stores now.
