Perfume fans say the Home Bargains perfume dupe is 'identical' to Burberry's – and it's £81 cheaper than the designer original! Plus more of the best budget perfume dupes on sale right now...

Home Bargains shoppers have been left stunned by a dupe of a popular designer perfume ... with many calling it 'fabulous'!

The bargain retailer’s fragrance range has been popular with fans already. And their reputation for producing high-quality scents at low-cost prices is set to explode again, with many shoppers saying Home Bargains’ £2.49 White Lies perfume is 'identical' to an £83 Burberry fragrance.

TikTok user Lauren (@lozzabee07) shared a video comparing the retailer's budget perfume with one of her favourites – the 'elite' Burberry Weekend, which currently costs £83 on Boots website, declaring it smells 'exactly the same'.

She captioned her video: 'Home Bargains find!'

The TikTok video, which has been viewed more than 51.5k times, sees Lauren tell viewers that she wanted to rate the 2 perfumes. She says she spotted how similar the Home Bargains version is to her Burberry Weekend perfume, which she says she 'loves'.

After testing some of Home Bargain's scent on her hand, Lauren looks shocked and says:

'Oh my god, that smells absolute double to that.'

She continues: 'This I would definitely recommend. White Lies from the Home Bargains because you know I am the Home Bargains queen. And it smells just like ... Burberry Weekend.'

The TikToker couldn't remember the exact price, and thought it was £2.49, 'but no more than £3'. Other shoppers corrected her in the comments below the video saying it was actually a bargain £1.99!

Lauren adds: 'I can't even believe it, it smells exactly the same. If you like Burberry Weekend, get the White Lies from Home Bargains and you will not be disappointed.'

Beneath the video, other shoppers rushed to agree with many saying they were running to buy.

One shopper wrote: 'Just got mine. Fabulous.'

A second commented: 'I've been getting this months its £1.99 smells exactly like Burberry. I came across it to try now buy a few, every time I'm in.'

A third added: 'Just got some 1.99 [perfume], love it.'
