Hotel Collection No 1 Lime Basil & Mandarin Perfume | Aldi 100ml Spray Eau De Parfum for Women

Product Information

So many people have been looking for a Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin dupe so I know this will be good news to them!

Jo Malone's Velvet Rose & Oud has been my go-to evening perfume for the last few years, so when I first came across Aldi's Hotel Collection No. 14 Velvety Rose, I didn't quite know how to feel. Rating: 4/5 Aldi's Hotel Collection No. 3 Pomegranate Eau De Parfum Dupe for: Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir

While I’m usually comfortable in the knowledge that I’ve used Alien in the morning and it’ll last all day, I took to carrying Blossom around with me as it seemed to fade after an hour or two. I don’t think I’m quite ready to abandon Alien, but Superdrug’s Blossom certainly makes a decent stand in. The sensual scent of Lacura Lady Pour Femme boasts dark notes of sandalwood and tonka bean that complement undertones of orange blossom and Bulgarian rose.

With that in mind, we decided to put a range of perfume dupes, said to be similar to high street and designer favourites to the test, to see how they held up. Here's the results: Layering Lab Blossom Body Mist Dupe for: Thierry Mugler’s Alien The first thing I noticed was the smell as soon as I took the lid off before I'd even sprayed the product. Straight away it smelt very familiar, so this was a positive first impression. Is there anything more comforting than the scent of your favourite perfume? A decent dupe of it, maybe. Aldi is certainly know for its dupes, from its Cuthbert the Caterpillar controversy and 'Mint Bubbly' take on Aeros, to its Lacura range, which has versions of best-selling beauty products by Liz Earle, Nivea, Pixi and more. Blossom is just as floral and feels just as luxurious as Alien, but certainly doesn’t last as long.This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I like a stronger perfume for an evening scent. Aldi have done a good job in trying to replicate the smell though, and I think if you haven't worn the Jo Malone version before, you'd be impressed with the dupe. I opted for Superdrug’s Layering Lab Body Mist in the scent Paradise, which is meant to be a dupe of Paco Rabanne’s popular fragrance Olympea.
