Laura White, who is known as @moneysavingofficial on Instagram, shared her top perfume dupes from Marks and Spencer, which are perfect for anyone looking to save a few pennies

Most of us love to indulge in a new fragrance every now and then.

But the price tags on top brand perfumes can be eye-wateringly steep, often costing a small fortune. That's where one savvy saver comes in a money-saving influencer has revealed her top perfume dupes from Marks and Spencer that promise big savings.

Laura White, who goes by @moneysavingofficial on Instagram, is always on hand with her 40,000 followers to share her best budgeting tips and tricks. In one of her latest Instagram reels, she's dishing the dirt on MandS's bargain scents that are dead ringers for high-end spritzes.

Kicking off her video, Laura announces: "The M&S perfume dupes you need to know about, these will seriously save you a lot of money," as she navigates the aisles.

First on the list for shoppers to consider is M&S' 'Midnight Blossom', which Laura claims mirrors YSL's 'Black Opium' usually priced at £125 per 100ml. But M&S' version? A mere £10 for the same amount, prompting Laura to declare, "what a saving".

She continues: "Then we've got 'Warm Neroli' which is a dupe for Paco Rabanne's Lady Million (£105 per 100ml), again this dupe retails for £10 for 100ml."

Not stopping there, Laura points out M&S' 'Soft Iris', also priced at £10 for 100ml. She suggests it's a match for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle, which is "massively popular" and sells for £145 per 100ml.

Continuing her recommendations is the M&S fragrance 'Spiced Bergamot' (£10 for 100ml), which she says is akin to Calvin Klein's 'Women' (£42 for 100ml).

Laura also said fragrance lovers who "love the summer scent" of Sol De Janerio, which retails at £24 for 100ml, might want to pick up M&S' 'White Coconut' priced at a mere £10 for the same amount.

Those keen on Jo Malone should consider trying out M&S' 'Sea Salt and Neroli', according to Laura, which is an absolute bargain at only £12.50 for 100ml compared to Jo Malone's significantly more expensive Wood Sage and Sea Salt which comes with a hefty price tag of £118 per 100ml.

But it was M&S'' 'Warmth' from its apothecary range, with a relatively modest cost of £18 per 100ml, that Laura highlighted as the most striking deal. It's a clever mimic of the iconic Santel 33, famously priced at a staggering £234 per 100ml.

The post certainly struck a chord online, amassing over 38,000 likes from eager followers. Comments ranged from praise such as "fantastic" tips, to testimonials with one saying: "Got mine on Tuesday. Last all day and love them. Saved a fortune! Thank you."

Another chimed in, expressing their adoration for the 'Sea Salt and Neroli': "I love the sea salt and neroli, it's absolutely gorgeous and I'm into my second bottle! The men's ones are nice too....no idea what they are dupes for but they are well worth it."

However, some users suggested that while the fragrances smell divine, longevity was an issue. "It doesn't matter how good dupes smell - they never last," lamented one observer. Echoing a similar sentiment, another comment read: "I've got the soft iris dupe for channel . It lasts about 20 mins. Waste of money."
