Aldi Health & Beauty

I was hunting for those back in the day, asked in the shop, and was told the stock was very scarce. I did manage to sniff the Tobacco Vanille back in 2022, but it was the last bottle in the shop and it was opened, and I thought it smelled very similar to Tonka Bean, the Jo Malone dupe, that I already had then.

Thanks. I bow to your very superior level of Aldiology.

Unfortunately not - some of the reviews for the inspired by range likens them to catspiss

At least IW take the (cat’s) piddle out of themselves (assuming they did see the joke and were not being had over by the manufacturer).

To be honest, I'm going off Aldi skincare at the moment. I have been clearing a lot of Aldi skincare this week, and all the full jars and bottles, just used a little in the beginning. It's the exitement that get's to me and I buy things I don't need, thinking, it's okay, they are not expensive.

IW sell it in all seriousness, comparing these perfumes with extremely high end brands

Some of the reviews for the Gammon fragrances are quite good, although they might be from people having a laugh. One of them says “Supper price” - not sure if that’s an intentional pun!

I thought that IW was long gone

I don’t know the timescales but it’s back. There’s still a thread here on st.com and the website appears to be functioning.

I'm brousing as we speak, found the Greed so far, I thought it was a joke at first.

Oh, yes. They look interesting, don’t they? That Independent article was 2022, well before I became particularly interested, but I’m sure I’ve seen a much more recent article, as if the Aldi Tom Fords are coming back. Ditto Creed (Aldi call them Her Reign and His Reign), and Acqua di Parma dupes, apparently also around 2 or 3 years ago. Have you ever spotted those in stores?

No not seen any but will keep my eyes peeled.

How nice to know I'm not the only one who does this type of thing.
