A SAVVY shopper found an “unreal” dupe of an iconic designer perfume at B&M.
The discount retailer is selling its own version of a popular Carolina Herrera scent – but for £110 less.
B&M’s Missy G.G’s V.V Love body mist costs just £2.49 for a 250ml bottle.
Shoppers have called the bargain perfume a dupe for Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl – which costs £112.50 for just 250ml.
One bargain hunter posted on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group: “Found in B&M (Burnley store). Smells like Good Girl for only £2.49.”
They shared a photo of the body mist on the shelves at their local B&M.
One social media user responded: “Neeed!!”
Another wrote: “Ooohh how fabulous.”
And a third added: “Ahh this is unreal man. I just ran out need to get some in!”
B&M describes the Missy G.G. Body Mist as “fresh, fragrant and inspired”.
“With its portable bottle size, you can freshen up throughout the day – no matter where you are,” the description read.
To find your nearest B&M store head over to the retailer’s website.
Each store will have its own stock of the scents and these kinds of items tend to sell-out pretty quickly.
It’s always worth phoning ahead to your local store to check how many they have available.
Make sure you do a sniff first too to make sure you like the smell before purchasing.
Ad do bear in mind that dupes don’t tend to last as long as the designer spray.
As always, make sure to have a shop around before you commit to a purchase to make sure you’re always getting the best deal.

THE Sun asked an independent perfume expert to carry out blind smell tests of popular perfumes and their high street “dupes” to see if the budget versions lived up to the originals.
Noemie Maury is a senior fragrance evaluator who has worked with major fine fragrance and toiletries brands for over a decade.
“High street chains can create perfumes cheaply by buying them from big fragrance manufacturers which grow their own ingredients in-house,” says Noemie.
“Because they use oils from flowers they grow themselves instead of importing ingredients, they save on costs and can create fragrances for high street brands at a discount price.”

It means they can lack the depth and complexity of more expensive brands which use a wide variety of more expensive ingredients.
