IF YOU’RE obsessed with Tom Ford scents or know someone who is, you might want to pop into Aldi.
The budget supermarket is currently selling £6.99 fragrances that are said to be very similar to designer alternatives but are 98% cheaper.
Previously, Hotel Collection Solar Luxe, Amalfi Brilliante and Pure Noir Eau de Parfums have proven popular with shoppers and are being restocked at next few weeks.
The silly perfumes will be back at Aldi on June 2, but you’ll have to be quick as they’re being sold “while stocks last.”
As with all Specialbuys, once they are gone, they are gone.
And perfect for those watching their pennies, shoppers can save up to £287.01 per bottle compared to Soleil Blanc, Neroli Portofino and Black Orchid from high-end designer brand Tom Ford.
Luckily, Aldi’s £6.99 alternative will arrive before Father’s Day (June 16) and can leave dads smelling fragrant without a hefty price tag.
The Hotel Collection Solar Luxe Eau de Parfum is considered perfect for “recalling summer memories” and has notes of “Tuberose, Ylang Ylang and Jasmine, complemented by deep aromas of pistachio, bergamot and cardamom”.
It’s said to be a copy of Tom Ford’s £294 Soleil Blanc, which is a “solar floral scent infused with coco de mer that embodies the luxury of a private island”.
Meanwhile, Aldi’s Hotel Collection Amalfi Brilliante Eau de Parfum offers notes of amber, angelica and ambrette that combine perfectly with lavender, rosemary and myrtle for an elegant Mediterranean scent.
It’s said to be similar to Tom Ford’s £294 Neroli Portofino, which is an “amber sparkling citrus scent”.
Finally, the supermarket’s Hotel Collection Pure Noir Eau de Parfum features a “blend of notes of truffle, jasmine and Amalfi lemon, complemented with scents of vanilla and sandalwood for a timeless scent.”
The retailer describes it as an “evocative and sophisticated fragrance” that is “sure to turn heads.”
If it’s something like Tom Ford’s £150 Black Orchid, which is a “luxurious, seductive potion of black orchids, spice and moody accords”, it’s sure to be popular.
The German retailer is known and loved for its designer idiots without the high price.
And now you can stock up on your favorite makeup products at a bargain just in time for summer.
Taking inspiration from Selena Gomez to invent Rare Beauty line, Aldi is launching its new Sweet Blush liquid blush in three different shades to please everyone.
Those blush costs just £3.49 – saving you £18.51 compared to Rare beauty which costs £22.
You can also get Brightening concealer to keep you looking awake and refreshed, even if you haven’t gotten eight hours of sleep.
For just £3.99 you can get similar results to Clinique Even Better All Over Concealer Eraser which costs a hefty £26.
Although you’ll save £22, the Aldi concealer only comes in six shades, so it won’t be suitable for everyone.
When is the best time to shop at Aldi?
WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy.
For reduced items – when stores open
Items with red stickers are rare across Aldi’s 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says none of its food goes to waste, so there are some to be found – if you’re quick.
A spokesperson for the supermarket said: “All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommended retail price before stores open at their best time or best before date.”
This means you’ll have a better chance of finding reduced-price foods if you go to stores as soon as they open.
Opening hours vary depending on the store, but most open from 7am or 8am. You can find the hours of your nearest store using the supermarket online store finder tool.
For special purchases – Thursdays and Sundays
Special Buys are Aldi’s weekly collection of items that it doesn’t normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools.
New stock arrives in stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally these are the best days to visit for the best one-off specials.
For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head to your local store during opening hours.
However, you don’t need to go to stores to buy a Specialbuy.
They are also on sale online, usually at midnight on Thursday and Sunday, and you can order them up to a week in advance.
As long as you spend at least £25, items will be delivered free of charge.
Remember: once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if there’s something you really want, visit asap
