A Primark perfume costing £6 has been compared to a Gucci fragrance priced at £84.
Primark has a range of fragrances on sale, but it's the Summer Blossom Eau de Parfum that one reviewer has matched against Gucci Flora. With a 50ml bottle of the designer fragrance coming in at £84 online and Primark's version priced at £6, there's definitely a bargain to be had for savvy shoppers.
According to Primark's website, the Summer Bloom perfume features notes of rose, white flowers and pear for a fruity floral musky scent. Primark said: "Give it a spritz and you'll be transported to long, hot summer days spent picnicking, jumping in pools and sunbathing. You'll be booking your next summer holiday in no time."

Here, MyLondon reporter Alexandra Bullard compares the perfumes:
"Heading to Primark, I spotted the last bottle of Summer Blossom Eau de Parfum (75ml) on their shelves. With a price tag of just £6, this is a total bargain in my eyes.
"As the name suggests, the perfume gives off classic notes of fruity flowers and pear. I only needed to spray myself twice and that was enough for it to be powerful. Even my friends complimented the smell, which is exactly what I wanted.
"I then went to Boots to hunt down the Gucci version, and I almost screamed when I saw the price. Gucci Flora (50ml) has a mammoth price of £84, and if you want the 100ml bottle you'll be splashing out £111.
"The similarity in appearance is uncanny. Primark's blue bottle boasting a floral installation is a literal rip-off version of Gucci's jasmine flora label. Both have pretty turquoise packing, so there is no denying that Primark have done their homework.
"When it came to scent comparisons, I couldn't tell the two apart. Gucci's key fragrance notes of magnolia and fruity jasmine is absolutely divine, but Primark has also picked this up. As a lover of fruity perfumes, Summer Bloom transported me back to the summer months for less than a tenner.
"As a result, Primark has migrated from my wardrobe to my beauty cabinet. Their perfume has got to be one of the best budget-friendly buys and I saved over £78 for a fruity scent identical to Gucci. Bring on the beauty dupes, I say."
