SHOPPERS have been left thrilled after discovering a £2.49 stocking filler that is the perfect dupe of an iconic perfume.
Customers at B&M are starting to fill up their baskets with Missy G.G. body mist with many raving that is smells just like the £47 Carolina Herrera good girl spray.
The bargain supermarket sells the perfume brand V.V. Love with the Missy G.G. body mist being a favourite of many shoppers.
B&M list the product online saying: “Feel fresh, fragrant and inspired each day with the V.V Love Body Mist 250ml – Missy G.G.
“With its portable bottle size, you can freshen up throughout the day – no matter where you are.”
They also sell a Royal Sweety scent by V.V. Love.

SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
