The video, originally created by @mollyyhopkins shared four popular fragrances.  

Opal Black was the first fragrance that is said to be inspired by Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium. 

A 30ml bottle of this designer fragrance would set you back £67. 

The second scent showcased was Oh Yes! Pour Femme which is said to be a dupe of Armani Si Passione Eau de Parfum. 

This designer fragrance retails for £104 if you choose the 100ml bottle. 

Home Bargain’s Red Ruby perfume was next which is said to smell similarly to Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum. 

If you bought the designer version, it would cost you a whopping £235! 

Finally, Molly shared the Dream Summer fragrance which is said to be inspired by Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Eau de Parfum Dreamy. 

Marc Jacob’s perfume is £85 but you could have a similar scent for less than two quid. 

The video got a lot of attention online with many giving their thoughts on the bargain fragrances. 

@Laurenandroux commented: “They smell for about 10 minutes though.” 

Someone with the username @Shaz1183 replied: “Exactly…… you get what you pay for.” 

I raided Home Bargains for the beauty dupes – a £3.99 spray smells of heaven & I got a £15 retinol night cream for £1.99

Another with the username @unsocialable_betch commented: “I can smell mine all day.” 

@Aliciasmithmoon wrote: “The black opium one smells the same they are ok for daytime or work time.” 

And @beingrach45 added: “I wear the ruby red! Lasts all day. Good work perfume I’d say.” 

There are also lots of other affordable Mother’s Day gifts available in-store. 

From £2.99 mugs personalised for both mum and nan to pyjama sets, and slippers.

Shoppers can also grab cosmetic bags for £3.99 or treat their loved one to a bath fizzers pack for £1.99. 

If your mum loves gardening, you can also grab her a new trowel and fork set for £11.99.
