Fragrance fans are raving about a budget-friendly scent from Home Bargains they say is strikingly similar to a high-end Sol De Janeiro mist. The coveted Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist, available from Boots for £24, is known for its alluring pistachio and salted caramel smell, with almond, vanilla, salted caramel and sandalwood notes.
In contrast, Home Bargains has introduced a Vanilla Almond and Salted Caramel perfume priced at only £4.99, causing quite a stir among shoppers. On TikTok, user @shavaughnb1 highlighted the purse-friendly Glow fragrance and handwash, showcasing them as alternatives to Sol de Janeiro’s luxury scents. The shopper’s video has since gone viral with over 80,000 views and numerous comments from impressed viewers.
“Omggggg,” cheered one user, while another exclaimed: “I NEED THISSS.” A third shared: “I brought 4 from my home bargains, smells soo good, wish they did the coconut honey mist in the perfume”, reports the Mirror.
One viewer remarked: “I just got back from home bargains BRUH,” prompting a hopeful reply: “Manifesting that they have this tomorrow.” Others commented to say “we need to go so badly” and “I can’t find anything so sad.”
For now, the must-have perfume is exclusively sold in-store, but Home Bargains’ website lists several products from the Glow range including Cherry Bomb and Jasmine Blooms Glow Perfume Mist reduced from £25 to £2.99 and Pink Lychee and Crystal Waters Glow Body Butter, originally £27.50, now just £2.99.
A variety of haircare and skincare items, including shampoo, leave-in conditioner, day cream, eye serum, and face scrub, are also available. As Christmas is quickly approaching, these products could be perfect stocking fillers for those shopping for beauty enthusiasts.
Bargain hunters at B&M have also discovered a selection of items from the discount retailer that could brighten someone’s Christmas. Gift ideas under £20 include hairbrush sets, UV nail dryers and sleep masks.
