Primark's £3 dupes for high-end fragrances make you smell 'bougie on a budget'

If you've just run out of your favourite expensive perfume and didn't receive any for Christmas, the likelihood is you want something inexpensive to last you as you patiently wait for the January payday. However, one woman pointed out that just because something is cheap doesn't mean it is ineffective. She gave high praise to Primark's perfumes, which smell very similar to high-end designer fragrances.
Eyitayo, who posts on TikTok as @allthingseyitayo, captioned her video: "Bougie on a budget here with some tea on Primark Perfumes. The truth is no one cares how much your perfume costs as long as it smells good," followed by a wink emoji. Eyitayo said that she'd heard Primark had restocked their dupes of popular fragrances, so she had to head down to her nearest one and smell them for herself.
"Honestly, I was very impressed with how similar some of them are," as she held up a £6 bottle called 'Good Chica,' which she said was very similar to Carolina Herrera's popular 'Good Girl' fragrance, for just a fraction of the price. On Primark's website, there are three £6 perfumes available, named 'PS… 50ml Perfume Spray,' and they're described as "A 50ml perfume spray bottle with a variety of gorgeous scents". They're named Fate, Good Chica, and Free.
There were others that didn't appear online, however, such as 'Red Flambe' which is a dupe of Tom Ford's 'Lost Cherry' fragrance - so it's worth checking in store. There were other fragrances that came with a 50% less price tag, too, costing just £3. One was called 'Sandy Beach' and was a dupe of Replica's 'Beach Walk,' but there was one Eyitayo was particularly impressed with when she visited her local store.
