m&s perfume dupes

When it comes to shopping for perfume there's a lot to think about. Fruity or floral? Musky or oriental? Fresh or warm? Not to mention that when you finally decide what to shop for, the price tag isn't always too friendly. That's where the Marks & Spencer perfume collection is particularly handy.

As seen on TikTok (obviously), fans of major brands like Chanel and Jo Malone have become slightly fond of the M&S range, which smells like the popular fave perfumes we all know. From La Vie Est Belle to Chanel No. 5, you can get your hands on a similar choice for as low as £5. No joke.

And, of course. We all know the iconic Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent (coming in at an eye-watering £80 for 50ml) and yep, M&S even has a perfume dupe for that.

Hurrah, our bank accounts are saved.

As all huge trends go, the hack was picked up by TikTokers who noticed the affordability of the perfumes that smelled suspiciously similar. Now, with the beans spilt, we all know where to get the iconic (and far cheaper) choices.

So whether you're a fruity perfume lover or like to keep it deep and musky, our favourite perfumes are now a fraction of the price thanks to M&S' cheeky fragrance collection. Wondering where you can get your hands on it? We've found all the perfume dupes below.

SHOP: All the M&S perfume dupes you don't want to miss

Smells like: Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent

M&S claims that the Midnight Blossom fragrance has 'layers of soft florals and warms' as well as having a little bit of a musky undertone but fans have noticed that it smells very similar to the Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent… For £10, we're not saying no.

Smells like: La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme

La Vie Est Belle is known for its soft, feminine scent, and if you're after a light but sweet choice in your perfume, Pink Pepper by M&S is a top dupe for the Lancôme fragrance. Plus, they're pink.

Smells like: Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel

Another top Chanel choice - because you can never have enough - is Coco Mademoiselle (£102). With citrusy notes as well as notes of iris and jasmine, the M&S Soft Iris perfume perfectly matches the iconic Chanel scent.

Smells like: Lady Million by Paco Rabanne

For the ultimate sensual fragrance, Lady Million has been around for years lingering on our necks during dinner dates and nights out. For a similar musky experience, grab the Warm Neroli M&S dupe with an elegant but powerful scent.

Smells like: Women by Calvin Klein

For a spicy, citrusy fragrance, you might reach for Women by Calvin Klein. A similar choice from M&S is the Spiced Bergamot perfume, filled with notes of clean lemons and oranges and undertones of amber musk.

Smells like: Sundazed by Byredo

Fruity fans, this one's for you. Where Byredo's Sundazed is king for summery, citrus fragrances, you can get a choice just as good for £15, in M&S's Amongst The Orange Groves scent. Plus, the bottle screams luxury.

Smells like: Beach Walk by Maison Margiela

If you want to be taken away on a holiday through your fragrance, then Beach Walk is the ultimate summer scent. For almost £90 less, M&S will take you away to the tropics too, with this Under The Palm Tree dupe.

Smells like: Chanel No. 5

Is there any fragrance more quintessential than No. 5 Chanel? We think not. When your purse can't stretch to over £100 for one perfume (ouch), the M&S Velvet Rose comes in as hot competition.

Smells like: Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone

We've all had our hands on a Jo Malone perfume at some point, and the Wood Sage & Sea Salt makes us feel fresh and ready for the day. For a similar divine essence, reach for the Sea Salt & Neroli M&S dupe.
