Lidl's 'massive' £3 perfume 'smells exactly like' Sol De Janeiro
Fragrance fans who love Sol De Janeiro could save on a similar scent from Lidl
Lidl has delighted shoppers with a £3 fragrance that has drawn comparisons to a pricier alternative. Fans think the supermarket is stocking a beauty range that smells similar to Sol De Janeiro's popular perfume mists.
Posting on a Facebook group for ' Bargain Lovers', an eagle-eyed shopper praised Deluxe's Fragranced Hair and Body Perfume Mists, which reportedly cost £2.99 each at Lidl. In the post, the customer showcased two scents: the jasmine and pink dragon fruit mist and the pistachio and salted caramel mist.
The post read: "Lidl have these [alternatives] of Sol de Janero [sic] sprays. Smells exactly like them, £2.99 and bottle is massive." In the comment section, several viewers praised the fragrances. A fan wrote: "I have the dragon fruit one it's smells amazing." A second echoed: "I totally agree. They smell so lush as well. Very long lasting."
Someone else replied: "Completely agree, the pink one is AMAZING." Another social media user said: "I've got it too.. is really good and the smell lasts for long." A viewer added: "I just bought smells amazing."
A commenter said: "It lasts ages too, aldi do a smaller one for the same price." Meanwhile, someone replied: "Recommend." Yet another fan shared: "I bought this and it's lovely the salted caramel one, had so many compliments."
A shopper who had tried two of the scents thought: "Yes had both the pink and orange. Pink was a nicer smell." A different response read: "I got the pink one but they're all nice."
A fan added: "I'm glad they've got these back in stock. I love them last year." Elsewhere, a customer commented: "It's back! I still trying to get thru mine from xmas."
However, some shoppers weren't so impressed. Someone thought: "These smell disgusting." Another commenter claimed: "They smell nothing like them. The ones from Home Bargains smell more alike than these."
Recommending Aldi's fragrances, a different shopper said: "The pistachio one in Aldi is amazing. Smell lasts for hours...smaller bottle than in Lidl though."
While shoppers will have to decide for themselves if they think the scents smell similar, both Lidl and Sol De Janeiro opted for similar fragrance notes for their perfume mists. Sol de Janeiro offers a Cheirosa '68 Perfume Mist with jasmine and pink dragon fruit notes. It's available for £24 from Space NK.
The product description says: "Uplift your senses and mood instantly with Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '68 Perfume Mist. Inspired by Brazilian botanicals and the Tropicália movement in the sixties, Sol de Janeiro '68 can be used on both your body and hair. Trust us, you'll want to take it everywhere with you.
"If you're partial to a floral scent and love the thought of a garden by the sea, Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '68 is for you. This bestselling fragrance opens with vibrant notes of pink dragon fruit and lychee essence. Brazilian jasmine, hibiscus and salty ocean air form the heart notes, which then lead to a warm hint of vanilla and sun musk."
Sol de Janeiro also has a Cheirosa '62 Perfume Mist with salted caramel and pistachio notes. It's available for £24 from Space NK. The product description reads: "Take your senses to the beaches of Brazil with Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist. Honouring the year 1962 and embodying Bum Bum Cream's signature scent, this uplifting fragrance features delicious gourmand notes of pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla.
"Warm and uplifting, this perfume mist takes inspiration from Brazil's 1960s iconic beach culture. What does Sol de Janeiro 62 smell like? It has top notes of pistachio and almond mingle with heart notes of jasmine petals and base notes of heliotrope, while vanilla, salted caramel and sandalwood form a lingering scent that recalls sun-soaked days and endless summers."
While the perfume mists differ, Lidl's offering could be ideal for beauty fans looking for fragrances with similar notes. Shoppers can locate their nearest Lidl store here.

Keep cool all night long with the genius hot water bottle hack & 3 other warm weather tips you need to try
THE hot weather is always welcome in the UK, and while it's fun during the day, the nighttime is another story. Trying to sleep in the heat is near impossible, and you end up spending most of the night tossing and turning in a sweaty mess. 2 2 Fortunately, many people have tips and tricks to stay cool while snoozing and they've been gracious enough to share them. With hot weather expected later this week, you'll want to take note of them. One hack that kept coming up from users on Mumsnet was to use a hot water bottle, yes, even in the summer. One wrote: " In praise of the cold water bottle. "It's just a hot water bottle filled with cold water, but it's so helpful when it's really hot. "I've had the first one of the year tonight." Many agreed that the hack was vital to staying cool in the summer. You simply fill the water bottle with a small amount of cold water and stick it in the freezer until frozen. Then you want to place it at the bottom of your bed to keep you cool all night long. However, you shouldn't use the same hot water bottle for hot water in winter and freezing in summer, as it can weaken the rubber. Aldi is selling a 'rechargeable' essential for just $9.99 – shoppers say they'll be 'wearing one all day' this summer If you can, buy two hot water bottles and change them for each task. Others were also quick to share their cheap hacks to keep cool at night as well. One wrote: "Second this, I usually just wrap it in a very light cloth. "Between that and stealing the cat's cooling mat it's very comfortable!" How to survive six weeks of school summer holidays IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you've come to the right place... BATTLING BOREDOM: Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there's nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: 'Don't feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun. 'Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time. 'Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, 'What do you think you could do?' and maybe have a list of 'I'm bored' activity ideas on the fridge.' SCREEN OVERLOAD: It's tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don't let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen. Liat says: 'It's unfair to expect older kids to power down but it's important to set some ground rules. 'Set family tech rules together. If you're often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren't allowed any screen time until they've done set chores, some exercise, or a board game. 'Are there times when you'd like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit. 'Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.' TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime. Liat says: 'If you're juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it's normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace. 'If you can't afford or don't want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids' workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours. 'Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn't make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.' SCHEDULING CONFLICT: Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children. Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of says: 'Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken. 'Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea. 'We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood. 'Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.' EXCESS ENERGY: Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier. Dr Bugembe says: 'Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather. 'Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they're wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun. 'Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They'll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.' "A couple of years ago I discovered the dog cooling mats, stick it under the sheet and enjoy full body coolness," another added. You can purchase these cooling mats, which don't have to go in the freezer or fridge beforehand for as little as £5 from Wilkos. Parents also offered their tips, and made the most out of the hundreds of muslin clothes they had lying around. One mum said: "I give the kids a damp, very well wrung out muslin when it's horrible and hot. "They are magic for cooling you off, and if they warm up you just need to flap them about a bit and they cool down again! "Perfect for getting to sleep with."
