Shoppers wanted to get a bottle of their own, which works out hundreds of pounds cheaper than splashing out on perfume
Home Bargains shoppers are purchasing a cheap £3 body spray, which could convince others you’re sporting a designer perfume worth hundreds of pounds. Most fans of the discount store are no strangers to the Designer Fragrances range.
Shoppers will know these products often smell almost identical to popular and expensive scents sold by Dior, Lancome, Paco Rabanne and more. But, some are convinced that the latest item to hit the shelves smells “just like” Baccarat Rouge 540.
The perfume, which can set shoppers back a hefty £245 in some places, is a distinct “flowery fragrance with amber and woody notes”. But, the £2.99 Rouge body mist made by Designer Fragrances and sold in Home Bargains has shoppers smelling like luxury without breaking the bank.
Shoppers who are part of the Home Bargains Appreciation Society on Facebook were raving about the spray when a person who picked it up shared the find online. Shara Wells wrote: “For any fans of Baccarat Rouge (but can’t justify the crazy price tag!) they’ve got a new ‘Designer Fragrances’ Rouge. They smell identical!”
Shara claimed that the spray set her back a modest £2.99. She wasn’t alone in her excitement as others piled into the comments. One person said: “It’s so lovely!” Another added: “I’m going to try and find some.”
In another post, a third fan said: “Rouge is one of my favourite scents!” Someone else wrote: “This scent is stunning!” And, a fifth added: “This is my absolute fave. It smells incredible!”
There are plenty of products by Designer Fragrances available via Home Bargains. The current range is on the official website here – and includes alternatives to Thierry Mugler’s Alien, Marc Jacobs Daisy and more.
