Home Bargains shoppers go wild for £1.99 perfume dupe of £245 designer scent – and it’s perfect for Mother’s Day

BARGAIN hunters are rushing to Home Bargains to snap up a budget-friendly perfume that smells just like a designer favourite.

The Red Ruby perfume, priced at just £1.99, has been hailed as a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540, the luxury scent from Maison Francis Kurkdjian that costs a whopping £245 per bottle.

Shoppers who have managed to get their hands on the fragrance are raving about it online.

One fan posted in a money-saving Facebook group: “For anyone that likes Baccarat Rouge, this is £1.99 in Home Bargains. Not identical but very close and a lovely smell.”;

Others were quick to agree, with one writing: “It's beautiful, it’s my work perfume.”

Another added: “I love this, it smells amazing. I literally always get compliments on it.”

A third chimed in: “It’s lovely & does last. I’ve also got the red Enliven body spray and it smells like it too.”

The budget-friendly Red Ruby perfume is an amber floral fragrance with a luxurious blend of notes.

The top notes are saffron and jasmine, with middle notes of amber and ambergris and a base note of fir resin and cedar.

Many fans of the Home Bargains version say it smells just as good – but for a fraction of the price.

Of course, the scent might not be as strong or last as long, so think about that before grabbing a dupe.

The perfume is currently sold out online, but bargain hunters still have a chance to find it in-store.

This isn’t the only fragrance bargain flying off Home Bargains’ shelves.

Just last week, shoppers went wild for the budget retailer’s Dubai body sprays, which have been called “out of this world”; – and they’re only £2.29 each.

One beauty fan was so excited to find them that she rushed to social media, telling her followers: “Don’t walk, run to Home Bargains, girlies!”;

The viral sprays, called Nusuk Layali, are imported from the UAE and shoppers have even claimed that one of the scents smells just like Marc Jacobs Daisy, which usually costs £79.20.

With Mother's Day round the corner, these fragrance options are the perfect bargain find to gift mum.

How to save money at Home Bargains

You'll want to first start by looking in the right place in your local Home Bargains store.

Tom Church, retail expert from deals website latestdeals.co.uk, previously told Flying Eze the best offers are usually by the front door in a bid to lure you in.

Next, it's worth keeping an eye out for Mrs Hinch products which are extremely popular and often reduced in price, he said.

Shop at the right time too, which according to one current worker is first thing in the morning, when stock is fresh and you're likely to get the best pick of products.
