Superdrug has sent shoppers absolutely wild over a budget bottle of perfume that they claim smells "identical" to a popular Chanel fragrance worth over £100.
Budget designer 'dupes' have been soaring in demand as the cost of living crisis has forced shoppers to ditch major brands in a bid to save some of their hard-earned pennies. Luckily, there are quite a few on the market that have impressed beauty enthusiasts recently.
The latest to gain attention is Superdrug's £6 50ml Artiscent Atelier Eau De Parfum Lily Amour that is said to smell exactly like the luxurious Chanel Chance, but at a fraction of the cost. Currently priced at £5.99, it can currently save shoppers over a whopping £100 with the purchase.
A quick look online shows that a bottle of Chance is priced between £65 - £126 on the Chanel website. Meanwhile Boots is stocking the designer Eau De Parfum fragrance for anywhere between £55 - £107.
Superdrug shoppers are currently able to snap up select Artiscent fragrances, including the Lily Amour fragrance, in the retailer's half-price sale. The retailer is also offering a 'buy one get one half price' sale on the fragrances as well.
The health and beauty retailer says its Artiscent fragrances are "created in Paris, home of prestige perfumery, where perfumers are given carte blanche to translate their vision into unique and exciting scents."
The Atelier Eau De Parfum Lily Amour fragrance is said to boast notes of transparent jasmine and water lily cheered up by an explosion of zesty mandarin based on a subtle blend of musky vanilla scents.
Shoppers looking for a designer fragrance for less have flocked to the Superdrug website to leave glowing five-star reviews after they discovered that it "does actually smell like Chanel Chance."
One glowing five-star review read: "Better than Chance. One day, a couple of years back, I met a woman on a train who was wearing a lovely perfume. It smelled like warm, rich honey on a summer's day. She told me it was called Chance. So I went looking for it. But - price! Over £100 for a bottle. Then I heard about this one. YES! Almost identical and a tenth of the price, too. I'm hooked. OK, so it's eau de parfum, so not quite the same strength. But it's certainly good enough - and cheap enough - to wear every day. And I do."
A second happy shopper agreed: "Like the real thing. Bought this today. It smells like chanel chance. Really good value, very pleased, going back to buy more."
A third wrote: "Bought this on sale at just £4.98...I absolutely love it, does actually smell like Chanel Chance. Would definitely recommend."
While a fourth exclaimed: "OMG!! Can't believe how much this smells like chanel chance. This will be my new "work" perfume. As it is eau de parfum it's strong and lasts long. So pleased with this purchase. Such a bargain price!!"
Shoppers can snap up the Artiscent Atelier Eau De Parfum Lily Amour 50ml in Superdrug's half-price sale where it is down from £11.99 to £5.99. You can also shop select Artiscent fragrances in the buy one get one half price sale.
