M&S’ perfume dupes are so good they made me stop buying the originals – I save £118 every time with their ‘Jo Malone’

WE all love to smell good but hate the price tag that comes with luxe perfumes.

Thankfully, one woman has revealed her favourite scent dupes from Marks & Spencer.

M&S

Alex Pavlova, from the UK, took to social media and claimed the selection of perfumes from M&S were so good she had ditched the originals.

She then went on to share four of her favourite ones and how much money the originals cost.

“These Marks & Spencer perfume dupes made me stop buying the originals,” she wrote.

“We love a good dupe, don’t we?” Alex added.

The first on her list was a dupe for the £234 Le Labo Santal 33 scent.

The cheaper alternative is the Warmth fragrance which costs a fraction of the price at £12.

M&S says the expertly blended scent combines aromatic notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood to evoke a warming feeling of comfort.

She also revealed that the Spiced Amber fragrance was a dupe of Paco Rabanne’s One Million and saves you £80.

Alex was also a fan of Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt perfume but at £118 it was on the pricier side.

Thankfully, she found a budget-friendly dupe from the British store with their Ocean Musk fragrance.

And for those who love the fresh and floral notes of Miss Dior perfume but want to avoid the £122 price tag, you’re in luck.

Alex revealed that the £10 Blooming Lovely fragrance for M&S was almost identical.

The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @beautyforeverybody with over 276k views and 3,000 likes.

People were quick to share their thoughts on the fragrances.
