Yes all the l'Occitane liquid soaps were there weeks ago when I first posted about the dupes being in Lidl not Aldi. I bought a rose and rhubarb Molton Brown dupe and it's lovely.

I’ve just noticed you did mention the verbena option back then. I’ll keep an eye open for it in my local store.

They seem to have been well stocked up on all the dupes every time I've been in. The MB dupe isn't as thick in consistency, and the smell doesn't last as long, but it smells the same.
I have the verbena liquid soap, and it has a good strong smell, but I'm getting tired of it now. I thought it was a pre-xmas offer and not regular items.
I thought they were short-term specials as well. Hopefully, they will bring in new things or new fragrances in existing ranges. I would definitely buy the hand cream and the Jo Malone copies again; I am also loving at least one of the diffusers, but I haven’t fully tested everything else yet
Which diffuser you are loving please?
The Green Garden one in the Ceremony of Scent range (the one in the flattish bottle and box - there’s also Oud in a black box and a white one but they didn’t appeal to me). I am not going to suggest it’s very strong - I don’t find many diffusers particularly strong - but I do get regular wafts of this Green Garden as I walk through the room and it’s the sort of scent I love - sort of grassy and sweet. You could sniff the matching candle to get an idea. It’s on the bottom right of the leaflet page you posted.
Thank you Andi! I'm just leaving for Lidl.
I hope you like it - obviously there are varying preferences on here and one man’s meat, etc … but see what you think. At least you get the chance to sniff. I happened to like Green Garden so much I bought a couple more to store away.
I’ve just seen online they might be dupes of Rituals diffusers. Rituals also do a Black Oud(h) and they look similar. The range name Ceremony also hints at “ritual”.

Thanks for the tip smelling the candles first Andi, I've ended up with the Plum and Rosewood diffuser (for now). Earlier this week I bought the Blackberry and Bay Jo Malone hand wash, and been using for a couple of days, I really like it so far. The Verbena starts to annoy me a bit.

Plum & Rosewood? I didn’t see that - is it a White Company dupe?
I have the Blackberry & Bay hand items as well - very nice.
I like the Aldi LB&M as well. I am using the hand wash and lotion in the kitchen at the moment - I started them ages ago and put them away but recently got them out again to carry on using and they seem to have got stronger! My only complaint is the handwash pump is hopeless - you have to pump it about 5 times to get anywhere near enough out.
I've never tried any Jo Malone stuff as I don't think I've got deep enough pockets! I don't go to Aldi very much but would try one of the dupes if they did them all the time. Are they a stock item or just out on sale for certain weeks like beauty events etc?
I’ll let someone who shops at Aldi more often than I do give a better informed answer but I think their Jo Malone copies started as Specialbuys and became more regular stock. I bought a Jo Malone dupe perfume in Aldi only this summer and I’ve very often seen the candles in the Specialbuys area in the middle of the store, but I’ve seen the hand washes/lotions where the everyday toiletries are, which makes me think they are more regularly stocked.
The Lidl Jo Malone copies available now are different fragrances and I really like some of those as well.
These three seem to be stock items at the moment. The no1 and no3 are deffo permanent stock and the third one (no39 is semi-permanent). For example, I've seen the no39 for the most of this year, and before the no39, there was Peony blush, and before Peony blush was Blackberry and Bay, and before Blackberry and Bay there was Velvety Rose. So they have two staple products (no1 and no3) and rotate the third one, if this makes sence, but the third product stays on the shelves for a reasonably long time.
