The 79p Home Bargains item that makes a car smell like luxury scent worth over £100

Daily Record6 days ago

Make your car smell like a luxury designer scent without the price-tag.
Looking to get your car smelling like luxury for less? Then Home Bargains has an item worth purchasing - and it costs less than £1.
The budget chain is known for offering a selection of perfume 'dupes', with its Designer Fragrances range taking on the likes of Thierry Mugler, Dior and Lancôme, all without the luxury price-tag.

Available in an assortment of body mists, sprays and perfumes for as little as under £2 each, they have become a massive hit among beauty buffs who often take to TikTok to share their purchases.

Now they are officially available to buy as a car air freshener, allowing drivers to fill their car with three luxury inspired scents for less - Xalien, Tu Es Belle and Savor.
Costing just 79p each, these fresheners are said to last up to 28 days, providing a long-lasting scent that can be used to fill any space, not just vehicles, such as rooms in the home and office spaces.
For those who are unaware of Home Bargains' fragrances, Savore is a "warm, oriental, zesty" scent that has earned a fanbase for being a 'dupe' of the beloved Dior Sauvage EDT that retails anywhere between £75 to over £100, depending on the bottle size.
There's also the highly popular Xalien. Described as "feminine and floral", this particular Designer Fragrances scent from the retailer has become known for offering a scent very similar to Thierry Mugler's iconic Alien, worth anywhere between £69 and £127.
The third and final scent in the new air freshener collection is Tu Es Belle, described as "delicate and demure", which is said to be almost identical to Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle that can also be priced anywhere between £69 and £127.

Home Bargains recently sent its loyal fanbase wild for the new car fragrances in an Instagram post that was captioned: "Now your car can smell like your favourite Designer Fragrances, in store now!"
Multiple followers were quick to voice their enthusiasm, as one responded: "I absolutely love these."

Another fan added: "These smell divine."

Someone who couldn't wait to find them wrote: "I need these in my life."

While bargain hunters were certainly keen to get their hands on the new air freshener range, there were a few on Facebook that were left disappointed at their longevity, as one wrote: "Nice smell BUT ONLY FOR 3 DAYS!!"
It's not just luxury perfumes that the retailer has been known to offer a 'dupe' for, as it has also branched out into a selection of cosmetics, haircare and skincare that are said to mimic high end brands for less.
Just recently, we reported on the budget retailer's latest OVAU haircare line that were being compared to the celebrity-backed brand OUAI on TikTok. The line boasts a shampoo, conditioner and a hair mask all priced at £1.49, while the major brand would set shoppers back £28 each.
Home Bargains shoppers can check their local store for the new Designer Fragrances car air fresheners that cost 79p.

Princess Anne spotted in Edinburgh for unveiling of monument for late Queen

The bronze bronze medallion depicting Queen Elizabeth II was unveiled on Saturday. Princess Anne has been spotted in Edinburgh as she commemorated the unveiling of a new monument honouring the late Queen. The Princess Royal was seen in Princes Street Gardens as she unveiled the bronze medallion depicting Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday. It is a final addition to the The Royal Scots Monument. ‌ The monument, originally opened on July 26, 1952, commemorates the service by The Royal Scots to 16 monarchs from its founding in 1633 under a Royal Warrant from King Charles I. The additional medallion marks the final monarch under whom the Regiment served. ‌ Edinburgh Live reports Princess Anne, accompanied by Robert Aldridge, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, was met by Major General Robert Bruce, the governor of Edinburgh Castle, among other prominent figures. The unveiling was attended by many former Royal Scots and their families as well as members of The Royal Scots Club and representatives of the City of Edinburgh Council. A service of dedication was conducted by Reverend Dr Iain May, Chaplain to The Royal Scots Regimental Association. In 2007, Princess Anne unveiled an addition to the monument to mark the Regiment's amalgamation, the final chapter in its history, and to acknowledge and commemorate the Regiment's 373 years of service. ‌ Brigadier George Lowder, Chair of the Regimental Trustees, said: ' The Royal Scots have always been, and continue to be, very proud of their long service to Crown and country which is commemorated on this monument. "Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the last Sovereign under whom the Regiment served, appointed HRH The Princess Royal to be Colonel in Chief of The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment) in 1983. "We have been greatly honoured, therefore, that The Princess Royal, whose long and continued connection with the Regiment we cherish, has unveiled this final addition to our monument today".

Best time to shop at retailers like B&M and Poundland to save money and find the best bargains

Do you have any insider shopping tips? We'd love to hear from you please email: money@ SHOP TO IT Best time to shop at retailers like B&M and Poundland to save money and find the best bargains KNOWING when to visit your favourite shop could be the key to saving money. From when yellow stickers are placed on items to reduce prices, to the best day of the week for new products - timing is everything when it comes to shopping on the high street and supermarkets. 1 We spoke to a deals expert who shared the best time to shop at your favourite store The Sun spoke to Tom Church, co-founder of discount code website who shared the best time to visit shops. B&M The best time to head to the budget store is Wednesday morning, according to Tom. He said: "This is when most of the new reductions are dropped." To increase your chances of spotting a deal, it also recommended that shoppers download the B&M Scanner App. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. Often, products will be marked down in the system, but the staff haven't had the chance to change display prices. Parents are racing to B&M desperate to nab 'the cutest' kids' cabin cases - they're ideal for EasyJet & Jet2 passengers Tom added: "It's always worth scanning items to check if they're cheaper than they seem. Products can scan for as little as 10p.' Home Bargains If you are planning a trip to Home Bargain's then it is best to head their first thing in the morning to grab the best deals. That is because most the larger Home Bargains stores get deliveries at around 7:30am everyday. Tom said to make sure you take a good look around as you enter the store. He explained: "Often, Home Bargains keeps the best deals at the front to lure you in. You don't want to walk straight past them on the way in!." Boots The high street chemist can be a great place to bag a bargain on pricey makeup and skin care. Singing up for its Advantage Card loyalty scheme can help you earn points on their purchases. These can then be redeemed for money off future purchases. Shoppers collect three points for every £1 they spend. Tom said the best time to shop at Boots is during one of their Points Events. These events allow shoppers to even triple points on your entire shop, or selected products and ranges. So for example, if you spend a set amount like £50 you get 1,000 extra points, which is worth £10. Tom said it is also worth seeing if you can stack any offers. He explained: "For example, if something is on a 3 for 2 offer, and then you can get double points on top.' Superdrug Superdrug has frequent offers and shopping incentives. So, Tom said the best time to shop depends on "what you're buying, and timing your shop to coincide with a relevant offer". The store regularly has 3 for 2 offers on beauty products, so if you're restocking your makeup bag, it may be better to hold off until that offer comes back around. If you are planning a trip to one of it's store you can check what offers are running ahead of time on the Superdrug website. Tom said you can also get bargains if you're a Health & Beautycard member, which is free to sign up for. Customers earn one point for every £1 you spend. You can spend your points in multiples of 100. This means that you can chose to use: 100 points = £1 200 points = £2 300 points = £3 and so on ALDI The German discounter is known for it's middle aisle Special Buys, selling everything from air fryers to dupes for Dyson hairstylers. The deals drop on Thursdays and Sundays, so going first thing on those days is your best bet. But if you are on the hunt for marked down food, it's best to head in first thing in the morning. That's because Aldi slashes the price of food and other items first thing in the morning rather than later in the day like its competitors WHAT TIME OF DAY? The store also has red stickers to show an item has been reduced, unlike the yellow ones you may see in Tesco or M&S. Tom said: "If you get there early, you have a better chance of bagging them. Just look out for red stickers.' POUNDLAND The bargain store can be a great place to pick up cheap sweets and even clothes. Tom said the best time to shop at the high street store is the morning. He said: "Stock is replenished either at night, or first thing, so you should have a better chance of finding what you want." But if you are planning a trip to one of it stores, you should be aware the brand has made a major change to its loyalty scheme. The discount store has scrapped its exclusive lower prices for Poundland Perk members, which had worked similarly to Tesco's Clubcard offers. Poundland told The Sun the loyalty scheme shake-up is aimed at lowering prices on the shelves for all customers without the "hassle" of looking for a voucher in the shop's app. Customers can still collect points on their shops and there will be weekly competitions to win points and prizes. Poundland shoppers get Perk Points when they spend money at the retailer and these can be turned into vouchers when they've accumulated at least 5,000 points.
