The £5 Lidl Cotton Blue perfume that smells just like £50 designer fragrance

Let's face it, not many of us can resist a 'designer dupe' if money is a little bit tight and we just can't afford to splash out on the real deal.

And when it comes to perfumes we know there are lots of dupes on the market that claim to smell just like it's designer counterpart, and rarely match up.

But we have found one that actually does.

Whilst out shopping for your groceries and other bits and bobs you might pick up in Lidl's famous middle aisles, we urge you to go and check out their fragrance range.

Because nestled amongst a huge variety of beautiful and affordable scents is one in particular which just blew me away!

Lidl's 'Cotton Blue' smells almost identical to a very popular designer fragrance, the £50 D&G Light Blue.

We kid you not, this £5 supermarket fragrance is incredibly similar to the big brand and best of all, it's so affordable you don't need to save it for special occasions, you can spray the generous 100ml bottle every day until your heart is content.

We tried it for ourselves and we genuinely couldn't believe just how similar it was.

And it doesn't stand alone when it comes to stunning fragrances that smell just like the big name brands.

Lidl has a new range of 7 designer inspired perfumes,  Essence by   Suddenly  and 3 aftershaves,  Essence by   Gibellini,  make for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift that won’t break the bank.

And I think if we've learnt anything from the last year in this global pandemic it's that little gestures go a long way to making someone you love happy.

The new fragrances from Lidl not only smell like the designer favourites, the packaging is also equally as luxurious and we know your significant other will love them.

See the full range in Lidl stores across the country now, they're all a complete bargain priced at just £4.99 each for 100mls.

And even if you don't have someone to gift them to this Valentine's then treat yourself or a friend, they're too nice not to share.
