Premium fragrance fans are "running" to Home Bargains for a 'dupe' of the iconic Alien perfume - and it costs up to over £120 cheaper.
The cult discounted high street retailer has become popular for its range of budget perfumes that smell similar to pricier brand's, such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs, YSL, Burberry and Lancome.
Now, the budget retailer has sent its shoppers wild on social media with its £1.99 Xalien Designer Perfume Body Mist that has been hailed as a 'dupe' for the iconic Thierry Mugler bottle. The discounter also stocks its fragrance as a 99p body spray in stores.
The retailer reshared a video from TikTok user @rachmariex to its 1 million followers, in which the bargain hunter wrote: "Girls run to *Home Bargains* for the £1.99 Alien dupe."
At both Boots and the Perfume Shop, the designer fragrance is priced at £92 for a 60ml £125 for a 90ml bottle. That means that Home Bargains' 250ml body mist 'dupe' is saving shoppers anywhere between £123.01 to £90.01.
With the incredible savings to be made, it is understandable why shoppers were quick to flock to the comments to express their enthusiasm for the 'dupe' that they needed to get their hands on.
One shopper exclaimed: "We will be running all over tomo".
A second eager shopper penned: "Ooooooo I want to try this x."
And a third added: "Another Alien dupe to try!!"
A fourth tagged their friend and wrote: "Run run run to get yours xx."
It's not the only 'dupe' for the designer fragrance on the market, as Superdrug's £3.99 Layering Lab Body Mist Blossom Fragrance was hailed as "one of the closest dupes" by impressed shoppers.
