For instance, it’s Suddenly Aura de Aguamarina or Aura de Aguamarina by Suddenly, a perfume dupe of Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia. Surprisingly, Lidl has been able to create a range of great fragrance dupes that can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, 540 Baccarat Rouge, Lost Cherry, Aventus Creed, Dior Sauvage etc. All for a fraction of the cost. In the UK, both Essence Vault and Copycat are exceptional options. They offer affordable perfume replicas, that are top quality, and deliver to your doorstep. Meanwhile, floral additions and heady dirty undertones lend an earthy quality to the mix. The magic happens after about an hour when it stabilizes and the citrus fruits subside. The spicy aspect continues with a sumptuous hint of freshly cut ginger and tons of Iso E Super molecule. I get a floral touch, presumably from hedione with jasmine and magnolia nuance. The heart is just too flowery, spicy, and dry. That’s why we cannot recommend G.Bellini Homme, and instead, we recommend using DS by Copycat, an excellent Dior Sauvage dupe. Again, it’s not as cheap as the Lidl option, but you can buy it online, and in our experience, it lasts longer because it requires fewer sprays.

How good the individual Lidl perfume replicas are dependent largely on the copy. In our case, we found that Copycat and Essence Vault had often a perfume replica that was better than Lidl’s (lasted longer, more accurate scent, and better projection). This is a shame, as some of the best dupe manufacturers do sell online, and it makes the whole process much easier. Are Lidl Colognes Cruelty-Free? These are not the only perfume clones available in Lidl, but some of the highlights. Lidl Perfumes Dupes FAQFurthermore, most Lidl perfume dupes don’t last as long as designer fragrances and have smaller projections. They often require more sprays and the bottles don’t last as long. Despite that, it’s hard to argue that Bellini Deep is incredibly cheap when compared to Bleu de Chanel, and thus it makes it a great Bleu de Chanel clone. Here are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Lidl fragrances. Where Can I Buy Lidl Perfumes? Sadly, not the same can be said about G. Bellini Homme by Lidl. Despite being Lidl’s best Dior Sauvage dupe, it falls a little bit flat. It’s not able to capture the complexity of the aromas, and it smells a little cheap. Having tried both, Copycat’s fragrances are our favorites, but they do not have as extensive a repertoire as Essence Vault does.

Allegedly released in March 2021, Deep opens with an explosion of citrus, pungent, hot spicy, bitter and aromatic subtleties, with clean soapy undertones. The spiciness of the citrus twist is dominant, with a spicy touch of pepper and mint. Hence, a spicy, aromatic, and citrusy opening. Ginger and citrus fruits dance to the notes of incense. A pleasantly pungent smell of freshly washed laundry hits immediately after spraying and dominates the first few minutes. The shimmer of the citrus peel of fresh fruit is always slightly bitter, which pairs beautifully with the scent without being overbearing. That said, as is the case with most Lidl perfume dupes, it does not last as long as the original in your skin. This is probably because it has a lower oil fragrance concentration. How long the cologne lasts on your skin will depend on various external (weather, humidity, propensity to sweat) and internal factors (oil concentration, type of perfume etc). Scent is also important defining who we are. That’s why we can spend up to hundreds of pounds for the best designer fragrances from Gucci, Chanel, Paco Rabanne, Tom Ford etc.To our surprise, Lidl has perfumes for him and for her. Some of the Lidl perfume dupes for women include clones of Chanel No 5, Chanel Blue, and Carolina Herrera… to name a few. This is the question we asked ourselves before rushing into Lidl and trying all the Lidl perfumes we could get our hands on. However, the availability will depend on your local Lidl store, which means that you won’t know if you can buy until you visit the shop. Due to seasonality, the availability could change, too. Other retailers are also in the game, like Zara’s perfume dupes, Next, or Aldi even. However, they face similar issues.

So, let’s have a look at the best Lidl perfume dupes, and see if they are worth a try. In this piece, we have also included the best Lidl aftershave clones for men. As discussed in the perfume vs cologne article, there are different types of fragrances. Eau de Perfum (EDP) is the one that lasts longer, usually about 6-8h. Bleu de Chanel is a woody aromatic fragrance ideal for any occasion for men. It might be one of the most versatile fragrances any man can wear, but that does mean that it’s not as head-turning as fragrances like Aventus Creed or Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford. Like all other LIDL fragrances, Deep is also inspired by a trendy fragrance, this time the most controversial fragrance released in the last decade: Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette. It comes in that deep blue square glass bowl that looks great when viewed through a ray of light and has a charming minimalist design. It deserves a try for just under 5 euros; the quality is excellent; the ingredients are controlled and vegan tested. So if you've always wondered what Blue de Chanel OG could smell like but never dared to spend a lot of money, this is your chance to take a spin before investing in the more expensive original design perfume. As for the scent itself, it's a subtle gentlemanly type of scent. Slightly woody, it has more of a sharp and fresh spicy flavor to it.

In this case, Lidl’s G. Bellini Deep is able to capture the complexity and the mixture of the woods and fruits in the fragrance. In particular, the amber smell, in the end, is very notorious. However, if you are planning to wear your Blue de Chanel replica for a whole day, we recommend looking at 299 by The Essence Vault. Smelling good is not only important for attraction, but also for self-esteem and mood. What scent we project can boost our sense of confidence and makes us more attractive in front of others. Further down the article, we will discuss all the Lidl cologne dupes, but first, let’s have an overview of our top pics:

We love how cheap the Lidl colognes are, and many of them come really close to the original, like Aura en Rose. Sauvage by Dior is one of the most well-known EDP for men. It’s powerful, masculine and can be worn all year round. Dior Sauvage will earn you many compliments when you wear it. In the best perfume dupes for men, you can see Aventus Creed Clones, Jo Malone dupes, Loewe, Paco Rabanne, and Dolce & Gabanna, among others.
