Superdrug shoppers rush to buy £4 dupe for iconic perfume that’s worth £100
SUPERDRUG shoppers have been rushing to buy a £4 dupe for an iconic designer perfume that’s worth £100.
The health and beauty retailer is selling its own version of the popular Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium perfume, but for £96 less.
The Superdrug Layering Lab Body Mist Exotic costs just £3.99 for 100ml.
It has rave reviews from hundreds of shoppers who have described it as smelling identical as the expensive YSL perfume.
One happy shopper said: “Why waste your money when you can buy this? It smells exactly like Black Opium.”
While another agreed: “Smells just like Black Opium, such a bargain!!”
A 100ml bottle of the real deal can set you back anything from £100, with Superdrug selling it for £102.
So it’s no wonder shoppers are keen to get their hands on the same scent for a fraction of the price.
For those maybe looking for a stronger fragrance, there’s also an eau de toilette in the same scent for just a fiver.
The spray is described as a “fresh and tropical” smell.
You can collect the bottle from your local store after ordering for free or you can have it delivered to your house.
Do be aware thought that you’ll be charged £3.95 or delivery is free when you spend £25 or more.
You can also pick up a bottle of the spray in stores, with a variety of different versions available.
You can find your nearest Superdrug shop using the tool locator on the website.
It’s always worth having a sniff first to make sure you like the smell before purchasing.
As always, make sure to have a shop around before you commit to a purchase to make sure you’re always getting the best deal.
You might find an even cheaper price for a spray you think is more similar to Black Opium.
In the past shoppers have tried M&S’ Midnight Blossom fragrance and dubbed it the ultimate dupe for the YSL fragrance.
It costs £9.50 for a 100ml bottle at the posh shop.
Meanwhile, Black Poppy at Home Bargains is reckoned to be another dupe that won’t break the bank at just 99p for 100ml.
Also, don’t forget to factor in delivery charges when shopping online.
You can use tools like Google shopping to compare prices, simply search the product you want.
Meanwhile, shoppers have been rushing to buy a popular designer perfume reduced to just £20 at Boots.
