@MrsBungle I've had some great Jo Malone dupes from Perfume Parlour, they are v close to the originals

sillygoof · 01/09/2025 17:50

Can’t personally vouch for them but Aldi do Jo Malone dupes.

IlovePond · 01/09/2025 17:52

I genuinely can’t tell the difference between JM and the Aldi dupes. I have the pomegranate JM and the dupe and have tried wearing one on each wrist - to me they are indistinguishable and last equally long.

BadgerFace · 01/09/2025 18:16

I have JM and Aldi Poppy & Barley and find that although they smell very similar the Aldi scent fades much more quickly that the JM. So I tend to use JM for going out for the day and Aldi for when I’m at home/staying local so I can reapply if I want to!

MaryGreenhill · 01/09/2025 18:44

M&S perfume dupes are gorgeous, just ordered a load for Christmas presents 20% off with my Sparks card .

MrsBungle · 01/09/2025 19:31

Thank you everyone for all the Jo Malone info. I’ll buy dd a real one with discount and I’ll buy me 10 dupes 😂

Wallaroo21 · 01/09/2025 19:53

What should I be ordering from haul? Looks like I’ve got the 70% discount

Ehunt1 · 01/09/2025 19:57

Where do you find out if you got the discount?

PearlsPearl · 01/09/2025 20:42

Aldi diffusers don't last and smell cheap, although similar to JM. The JM ones really last and I can smell them every time I enter a room for weeks and weeks!

The Aldi ones are much harsher too and make my eyes sting compared the originals. That said the dupe candles are decent for the price point especially the £19.99 huge Christmas ones.

lookonthebrightside0 · 01/09/2025 21:00

@Ehunt1 thanks I’ve ordered one for myself, it looks lovely and cosy

I would love money off perfume or pyjamas. My only offer is 20% off Colin and Percy party tableware 😩

I have asthma and the Rose Noir Reed diffusers made me really ill. That said, I love the Almond and Macaroon candles. I have to be really careful in general though and most folk like White Company Winter candles but they make me ill too.

Have to say that I've never had a problem with Isle of Skye candles and diffusers, so worth looking out for offers on those for any fellow asthma sufferers (appreciate this is individual)

I’ve just remembered- I got given some cute little Christmas votive candles in little glasses from Yankee candle which started by making my eyes water and within a few minutes made me wheeze! Not a good present 🙈

I find the new Yankee candles do that to me as well! The old ones I have dont. So I'm presuming it's something in the new wax they're using.
