Aldi’s middle aisle beauty must-haves are back again with a new designer-inspired perfume shoppers say smells ‘exactly the same’ as its pricey counterpart that costs almost £100 more.

The Lacura Empress Eau De Parfum, which costs just £5.99 for a 100ml bottle, has had shoppers in a frenzy as they compare it to the far more expensive Paco Rabanne Olympea (£103), but you’re going to want to get your hands on it quick.

The affordable perfume alternative offers notes of Water Jasmine, Green Mandarin, and Ginger Flower, fused together with rich Vanilla and Sandalwood, and beauty buffs are already obsessed.

Aldi Specialbuys don’t last forever, though, so you’re going to want to snap one of these budget friendly perfumes while you can.

On a TikTok talking about the budget Aldi alternative perfume, one shopper wrote: ‘Omg I got the empress one today and omg it smells exactly the same as Olympea. If you haven’t got it already then get it.’

Another added: ‘I bought empress yesterday. It smells lovely and lasted most of the day.’

But Empress isn’t the only new Aldi perfume being hailed a great designer perfume ‘alternative’.

Another new fragrance from Lacura, also costing just £5.99 for 100ml, is the Perfect Pink Eau De Parfum, and shoppers are comparing this affordable scent to the not so cheap Miss Dior from Dior, which comes in at an eye-watering £122 for 100ml.

Boasting base notes of Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Sandalwood paired with delicate floral notes of Iris, Peony, and Lily of the Valley, the Lacura Perfect Pink perfume has been described by users as ‘absolutely delightful’, and ‘really light and fresh’.

And a final new perfume drop from Aldi is the Lacura Devotion Eau de Parfum, which shoppers have been comparing to the Dior J’Adore Eau de Parfum.

While the Dior fragrance comes in at £145, Aldi’s budget alternative comes in at, you guessed it, £5.99, and fans of the scent say it’s ‘stunning’, describing it as ‘fresh and clean’.

Devotion offers floral notes of Jasmin, Orchard, and Rose that meet fruity hints of Plum and Blackberry undercut with notes of Amaranth.
