Best ALDI Perfume & Aftershave Dupes 2024 and When They Are In Stock
Scentsational.
ALDI has a number of seriously good perfume dupes, so if you’re on the hunt for a new fragrance, you’re in luck. In fact, the supermarket recently released a couple of new scents, including one that smells just like Dior’s J’adore and another that rivals Paco Rabanne’s One Million perfume. ALDI’s perfumes are known to fly off the shelves, but if you missed out the first time, you’ll be glad to know that there are plenty on offer on eBay.
It doesn’t end there. If you’re obsessed with finding perfume dupes of your favourite designer brands, then you might want to check out the rest of ALDI’s fragrances too. Both ALDI’s Lacura and Hotel ranges have established themselves as key players on the dupes market. We can all appreciate their skincare and makeup, but if you haven’t yet tried their fragrances, you’re truly missing out.
They smell delicious in their own rite, but they’re also noticeably similar to designer fragrances like Tom Ford’s Santal Blush, Creed’s Aventus For Her and Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s iconic Baccarat Rouge 540. I’m not the only person to notice; TikTokers regularly go into overdrive when ALDI drops a new fragrance, and after being shown so many videos about these perfumes, I decided it was time to get in on the action so I did a deep dive into ALDI’s low cost scents.
Important reminder: you have to be quick to get your hands on ALDI’s perfumes when they drop because they always sell out. The best way to get your hands on them is in-store, but you can try the website and if you’re too late to the party, visit eBay and Amazon.

When are ALDI perfumes in stock?
Unfortunately when ALDI restocks their perfumes, they absolutely fly off the shelves. Not only are they cheap, but they smell great so it’s not surprising. Most recently, the budget supermarket restocked their Devotion and Power fragrances at the end of January, but I recently popped into my local ALDI and found Dark Blossom and Lady Pour Femme sold in handbag size. Obviously I snapped them up!
If you can’t pop into store anytime soon, you can always look at reselling sites like Amazon and eBay. Here, you’ll usually be able to find the affordable scents. They might be a little more expensive than their retail price, but still much cheaper than the luxury scents they smell like.

Viktor Rolf Flowerbomb Eau De Parfum 30ml, now £53.45, Sephora buy now
ALDI: Lacura Ladies’ Floral Love
Lacura Floral Love Eau De Parfum 100ml, £17.99, ALDI via eBay buy now
It’s more than likely you’ve bought a bottle of Viktor Rolf’s popular Flowerbomb fragrance in your time, but did you know that ALDI has a perfume that smells exactly the same for a fraction of the cost? Lacura’s Floral Love has notes of rose, freesia, bergamot and patchouli, just like Flowerbomb. While this fragrance has sold out online, you can find plenty of bottles on eBay and they’re still much cheaper than splashing out on the luxury version.
The Designer Perfume: Tom Ford’s Santal Blush Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford Santal Blush Eau de Parfum 50ml, £220, Sephora buy now
ALDI: Hotel Collection Sandalwood Jasmine Eau de Parfum
Hotel Collection Sandalwood Jasmine Eau de Parfum 50ml, £28, ALDI at eBay buy now
Aldi’s Sandlewood and Jasmine boasts notes of tobacco leaf and spice that complement the undertones of vanilla, cacao, tonka bean and tobacco blossom for a long-lasting, woody aroma. It’s a dead ringer for Tom Ford’s Santal Blush, and well worth stocking up on given that it’s literally a fraction of the price. Originally selling for just £4.99, it’s sadly sold out but can be found on eBay.
The Designer Perfume: Mugler’s Angel Eau de Parfum Natural Spray
MUGLER Angel Eau de Parfum Natural Spray Refillable 25ml, £67, LookFantastic buy now
ALDI: Lacura Guardian
Lacura Guardian Eau De Parfum 100ml, £9.99, eBay- buy now
Lacura’s Guardian perfume is formulated with the sweet scents of pineapple, coconut and mandarin orange, balanced with sharper aromas of red berries, orchid and jasmine. After one spritz, it’s not hard to see why comparisons to Thierry Mugler’s Angel are often made. What I will say is that ALDI’s version of the scent is a lot less sweet.
The Designer Perfume: Creed’s Aventus For Her Eau de Parfum
Creed Aventus For Her Eau de Parfum 75ml, £260, Liberty buy now
ALDI: Lacura Her Reign
Lacura Her Reign Eau de Parfum 100ml, £10.99, eBay buy now
Aldi describe this scent as having fruity notes of apple and lemon that pair perfectly with spicy pink pepper and bergamot. These notes develop into floral rose and sandalwood with a base of amber, peach and ylang-ylang, creating an undeniably similar scent to Creed’s Aventus For Her. The original was only £6.99, but it’s sadly sold out at the supermarket. You can however find it on eBay for just under £16.
The Designer Perfume: Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum
Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP Spray 70ml, £245, Maison Francis Kurkdjian – buy now
ALDI: Lacura Cardinal Red Eau De Parfum
Lacura Cardinal Red Eau De Parfum, 50ml, Rouge, £30, eBay buy now
Aldi describe Cardinal Red as a seamless blend of soft jasmine, sweet saffron, warm amberwood and woody cedar, which make it a well-rounded spicy, floral fragrance. They don’t lie; it’s a super alternative for Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 for anyone on a budget and it can be found on eBay now. If you want an even cheaper dupe, try Zara’s Red Temptation.
The Designer Perfume: Jo Malone’s Pomegranate Noir Cologne
Pomegranate Noir Cologne 100ml, £118, Jo Malone at LookFantastic buy now
ALDI: Hotel Collection No. 3 Pomegranate Eau De Parfum
No. 3 Pomegranate Eau De Parfum 100ml, £14.97, eBay buy now
Aldi’s No.3 Pomegranate Noir has top notes of raspberry, pomegranate, plum, rhubarb and watermelon, middle notes of lily of the valley, jasmine, rose, pink pepper and cloves, and luxurious base notes of virginia cedar, patchouli, musk and amber. This is so similar to the Jo Malone’s Pomegranate Noir, so if you’re a fan of the iconic perfume, save yourself some cash and stock up on this dupe.
The Designer Perfume: Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl Eau De Parfum
Good Girl Eau De Parfum 80ml, £95, Carolina Herrera at LookFantastic – buy now
ALDI: Lacura Lady Pour Femme Eau De Parfum
Lacura Lady Pour Femme Eau De Parfum 100ml, £15, eBay buy now
It’s almost impossible to tell ALDI’s Lady Pour fragrance from Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl. The texture of the former seems slightly more watery when sprayed, but that doesn’t seem to effect the scent. A common thread with the cheaper alternatives is that you just have to apply them a little more often, but at that price what’s a few additional spritzes throughout the day?!
The Designer Perfume: Jo Malone’s Lime, Basil and Mandarin Cologne
Jo Malone London Lime Basil Mandarin Cologne 100ml, £118, LookFantastic buy now
ALDI: Hotel Collection No.1 Lime, Basil Mandarin Eau De Parfum
No.1 Eau De Parfum 100ml, £14.49, eBay buy now
ALDI’s No.1 Eau De Parfum has top notes of lime, mandarin orange and bergamot, middle notes of basil, lilac, iris and thyme and base notes of patchouli and vetiver, which work to create a scent that smells undeniably alike Jo Malone’s Lime Basil Mandarin Cologne. The only real difference is the fact that ALDI’s alternative doesn’t include the base note of amberwood, which makes the Jo Malone original a smokier fragrance.
The Designer Perfume:: Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium
Black Opium Eau De Parfum 90ml, £100, YSL at LookFantastic – buy now
ALDI: Lacura Dark Blossom Eau De Parfum
Lacura Dark Blossom Eau De Parfum, 100ml, £29.99, eBay buy now
It has to be said this is a GREAT dupe of YSL’s Black Opium. It smells so much like the designer version that I honestly don’t think anyone could tell the difference. The only downside is the fact that it wears off quicker, but if you’re happy to re-apply a bit more often then you’re onto a winner with this one. At a fraction of the price even on eBay it’s a no brainer for me. I recently bought a handbag size at ALDI and it smells seriously good.
The Designer Perfume: Jo Malone’s Poppy and Barley Cologne
Poppy and Barley Eau de Cologne 30ml, £55, Jo Malone – buy now
ALDI: Hotel Collection No. 39 Poppy Eau De Parfum, £6.99
No. 39 Eau De Parfum 100ml, £11.99, eBay – buy now
ALDI’s No. 39 from the Hotel Collection smells seriously similar to Jo Malone’s Poppy and Barley cologne, with matching notes of poppy and barley. The original from Jo Malone has top notes of poppy, basil, woody notes, mint, lavender, cinnamon, and vanilla; middle note of violets, roses, and powdery notes, and base notes of barley, white musk, bran, and blackcurrant. ALDI’s is a little less complex, but smells identical.
The Designer Perfume: Rabanne Olympea Eau De Parfum 50ml, £63, Boots
The Original: Rabanne Olympea Eau De Parfum 50ml, £63, Boots buy now
ALDI: Lacura Empress Eau De Parfum 100ml, £28
The Dupe: Lacura Empress Eau De Parfum 100ml, £28, eBay buy now
Both fragrances share a luxurious and sensual scent with notes of jasmine, sandalwood, and vanilla. The best part? Lacura Empress is only £5.99. Unfortunately, it is sold out, but I found one on eBay for £28, while Olympéa will set you back a whopping £63! So, if you’re a fan of Olympéa’s scent but not its price tag, Lacura Empress might be your perfect match. This is like finding the supermarket version of your favorite designer clothes – the same great look for a fraction of the cost!

Acqua di Parma Colonia Eau de Cologne Spray 50ml, £104, John Lewis buy now
ALDI: Lacura Essence of Italy, Giallo Eau De Parfum 50ml, £12.99, eBay
Lacura Essence of Italy, Giallo Eau De Parfum 50ml, £12.99, eBay buy now
Lacura Essence of Italy’s Giallo Eau de Parfum is being compared to the iconic Acqua di Parma Colonia. Both are 50ml Eau de Parfums, but Lacura offers a steal at £12.99 on eBay, while the Acqua di Parma goes for a hefty £104 at John Lewis. Lacura’s Giallo boasts a citrusy, Italian-inspired scent, similar to the Acqua di Parma’s classic cologne notes.

Lacura Essence of Italy Indigo Eau De Parfum 50ml, £11.99, eBay buy now
Lacura’s Essence of Italy Indigo Eau de Parfum is said to be a dupe for the luxurious Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi. Both fragrances capture the essence of the Amalfi Coast with citrusy and fig notes. If you’re looking for a lighter fragrance at a fraction of the cost, Lacura’s Indigo might be your perfect summer scent.
