Shoppers have been singing the praises of a cheap fragrance from Superdrug they claim is the "closest dupe" for a popular designer perfume.
The high-street health and beauty retailer's Layering Lab range of body mists have went down well with shoppers looking for luxurious scents without the price tag - and one is particularly sought after by fragrance lovers.
The £4 Layering Lab Body Mist Blossom Fragrance from Superdrug has been receiving rave reviews online from beauty fans who swear it is a 'dupe' for the iconic Thierry Mugler Alien perfume. Although it's currently on sale for £70 at Boots, the luxury perfume normally retails for £83 as it currently is at Superdrug.
The beloved designer bottle of perfume has long been a fan favourite for many perfume enthusiasts, but with prices retailing up to £80, it is no wonder why fans have been looking to places such as Superdrug for cheaper alternatives.
Priced at just £3.99 for a 100ml bottle, shoppers can save themselves up to £76 by purchasing the Blossom fragrance body mist from Superdrug's range of body mists.
Currently the high-street retailer is running an offer on selected Layering Lab fragrances where shoppers can buy two for £7, or three for £10 - and the Alien 'dupe' Blossom fragrance is part of the offer.
Described as "floral and sweet", Superdrug says its Layering Lab Blossom Body Mist can be worn on its own, or spritzed together with another fragrance to create a "personalised bespoke smell."
With 136 five-star reviews on the Superdrug website, the £3.99 body mist is the most popular of all the Layering Lab fragrances, with many Alien fans saying it "smells exactly the same."
One five-star review read: "Smells very similar to Alien by Thierry Mugler so if you want to try Alien but not spend out the huge prices this is a great place to start to see if you like it! One of the closest dupes I have ever smelt and I have been wearing Alien daily for over 10 years.
"It doesn't last anywhere near as long as the Alien perfume but is a great trial for the real thing if you are considering it. Otherwise this is a cheaper alternative and if you reapply throughout the day you'll most likely still be getting more for your money, though I haven't worked this out per spray lol."
A second happy shopper wrote: "If you love Alien perfume buy this spray. I love this product, smells exactly like Alien at the fraction of the price."
A third raved: "I brought this a few months ago along with some other scents in the layering lab brand and there is not many days i don’t wear it! Alien is my favourite perfume and this smell is so similar and perfect for every day wear. Definitely will be purchasing this again."
A fourth added: "I am so glad I found this item. It smells just like Alien perfume so I can cut down the cost of buying the perfume by using this daily instead. Very pleased."
The Superdrug 100ml Layering Lab Body Mist Blossom fragrance can be purchased individually for £3.99. Alternatively, you can purchase select Layering Lab fragrances are part of the retailer's 2 for £7 offer and 3 for £10 offer.
