Lidl has a great selection of perfumes and what’s more, some of them smell just like your favourite designer brands. So, if you’re on the hunt for a new fragrance, you’re in luck as I’ve done a deep dive into Lidl’s best dupes. Lidl’s latest perfume range Suddenly Fragrances has some of the best dupes on the market and they’ve been likened to luxury designer brands like Chloé, Chanel and Dior, just to name a few.
We all know perfume isn’t cheap, so if there’s is a way to smell just as good on a budget, you better believe we’re all over it. While it’s hard not to associate designer brands and high prices with quality, it doesn’t always have to be the case when it comes to fragrance. Zara and H&M have long been known as having some of the best dupes on the market, and now Lidl is joining the party.
I also want to point out that these Lidl perfumes smell great in the own rite. Without being a dupe of my favourite fragrances, I still would be a fan of these. But the fact that they do rival the designer brands at a fraction of the cost is the icing on the cake.
Just remember you need to be quick to get your hands on Lidl’s perfumes when they drop because they always sell out. The best way to get your hands on them is in-store as they have the full collection on offer there, but you can try the website which have a smaller offering and if you’re too late to the party, give eBay a try as there’s always some available there but at a slightly higher cost.
Interested? Keep scrolling for my round-up of all the best Lidl fragrances that smell just like all your favourite luxury scents. Trust me, no one will notice the difference. Looking for more dupes? Aldi have some seriously good fragrances to offer and we all know Zara can always be relied on for a designer dupe scent.

At £89 a bottle, Coco Mademoiselle doesn’t come cheap, but can this Lidl version actually be an alternative? Coco Mademoiselle and Lidl’s Madame share a great deal of the same ingredients including, orange, bergamot, grapefruit, rose extract, jasmine extract, vanilla, and white musk. I must say, I was impressed with this one. Like all other dupe fragrances, you may have to apply the fragrance a little more often but that’s a small price to pay when you’re saving so much money!
