Shopping discounts – How to make savings and find the best bargains
Each store will have its own stock of the scents and these kinds of items tend to sell-out pretty quickly.
It’s always worth phoning ahead to your local store to check how many they have available.
Make sure you do a sniff first too to make sure you like the smell before purchasing.
Ad do bear in mind that dupes don’t tend to last as long as the designer spray.
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.

Perfume insider reveals dupes worth buying
THE Sun asked an independent perfume expert to carry out blind smell tests of popular perfumes and their high street “dupes” to see if the budget versions lived up to the originals.
Noemie Maury is a senior fragrance evaluator who has worked with major fine fragrance and toiletries brands for over a decade.
“High street chains can create perfumes cheaply by buying them from big fragrance manufacturers which grow their own ingredients in-house,” says Noemie.
“Because they use oils from flowers they grow themselves instead of importing ingredients, they save on costs and can create fragrances for high street brands at a discount price.”
