Aldi L’Occitane dupes

[LittleEsme]

I’m desperate for Aldi to bring back their almond oil/body cream back - they’re lively dupes of the L’Occitane range. How do I find out if they are still selling them and when will they arrive?

Found similar to l’occitane shower oil in Home Bargains

I adored Aldi’s sanctuary range and also their dupes for olaplex. A worker told me when they’re gone they’re gone, a colleague of hers disagreed and said the workers had no idea about different ranges!

You can ask ChatGPT for the next best thing if you take a picture of the bottle and ingredients. I had to do that once when aldis tinted moisturiser didn’t come back and the real thing was £45! I went with ChatGPT’s top suggestion and it’s actually better

Ugh. Aldi and Lidl are the worst for this! I loved the Glow Recipe dupes they did few years ago, never been back since. WHY do they do it? Things like skincare, bath/shower stuff are something people always repeat buy.

I loved their La Soie range with is the dupe for La Mer. Haven’t seen it since.

Slightly OT, but Aldi lost a case in the Federal Court of Australia recently about their dupes. Breach of copyright.

Granted, they do pretty much breach copyright on the Big Brands!

This case was based on toddler snacks, but it may have repercussions on all of their dupes.

Aldi is famous for its ‘dupes’. Where’s the line between clever lookalike and copyright breach? - University of New England (UNE)

Oops, meant to say- I've happily enjoyed some Aldi dupes here in Aus in the beauty/make-up range that have disappeared. That may or may not have anything to do with the litigation. It could simply be a supply issue.

But you have to wonder?

Yes! I bought a bottle thinking that it wasn’t up to much and it was bloody better than the original! Flew off the shelves in the stores in my area (tried them all) and I’m constantly checking for more.

Loads bought multiples and are selling them online for a huge mark-up 😩

Actually, the Aldi Almond body cream was also better than the original. I’m coming to the bottom of my pot now and it’s like velvet. Wish they’d make more!!!!

TKMaxx usually has almond shower oil as good as L'Occitane (often in big pump bottles for a few quid). I bought a brilliant one from the clearance section a few years ago that was better than the original, but I didn't bother to remember what brand it was 🤨
