I’m a perfume fanatic – the luxury dupes in Aldi right now are so similar I’m surprised they haven’t been sued
A PERFUME fanatic discovered an entire stand of Tom Ford dupes in Aldi.
And some of the products are almost £500 cheaper than the original.
Shopper Nicole Dolan said she was surprised Aldi hadn’t been sued over the scents because they were so similar.
The scents available were Tobacco and Vanilla and Sandalwood and Jasmine.
Each bottle contained 50ml of perfume and came in swanky black packaging.
Each one retailed for £5.99 and was on a dedicated stand by the checkouts, according to Nicole.
The Tobacco and Vanilla scent is a dupe for Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, which costs a whopping £265 for the same amount of perfume.
The Sandalwood and Jasmine scent is a dupe for Tom Ford’s Private Blend Santal Blush – which costs an eye watering £490 a pop.
The dupes are part of Aldi’s Hotel Collection range famed for its likeness to luxury products.
The budget supermarket chain has also created Jo Malone, Yankee Candle and skincare dupes as part of the collection.
Nicole said: “I love the Aldi dupes.
“I think that it’s actually so funny that they’ve not been sued.”
She called the smell “incredible” and “seemed to last a long time”.
Nicole continued: “This is something to wear to work.
“I would keep my expensive perfume for like, going out and things like that.
“But I think that’s actually so funny for £4.99 – saved £190 on a perfume.
“And if you want, you can lie and say, ‘I am wearing Tom Ford’ but who does that?”
