Body care buyers have been left in awe after discovering the bargain in Boots stores.
The hair and body mist has been advertised as scented with "pistachio, almond and salted caramel".
With a similar appearance to the original, pictures show the bottles branded with a tall white lid and clear plastic.
According to the pharmacy's website, the 200ml is usually available from £4.
One eagle-eyed discount shopper spotted the clearance sale advertising each one for 50p.
Compared to the original Sol de Janeiro which retails around £24 for just one bottle, high-street buyers could opt to purchase a couple of dupes for just £1.
Sharing a picture of the find on a bargaining Facebook page, many have reacted in the comments sections whilst the post has garnered 250 likes so far.
The post read: "Might not be all Boots but worth a check if this dupe is your thing.
"EDIT - hi guys when I said 'might not be all Boots ' I meant might not be 50p in all stores, could be £1 and also depends if that store originally stocked the product and what the stock levels are.
"It has been discontinued. Possibility it could be repacked and return at some point in the future."
'I'm obsessed with it', cries fashion fan as she tries on major dupe from Dunnes Stores – and it's just €8
A savvy shopper commented below: "not sure if it smells the same but this is cheap xx"
Whilst someone else said: "omg my favourite body spray."
A third wrote: "That's a great deal."
Others confirmed they had spotted the find for the slashed price at their local branch including in Newcastle and Bexley Heath.
Previously, eagle-eyed customers noted a similar product on offer for £3.99 in Lidl.
Fans raved how the "close dupe" would be perfect for gift-giving.
With one even suggesting the spray smelled "identical too".
Those looking elsewhere to save their pennies could head to Primark instead.
Earlier this month, the cheap clothing chain was found to have restocked its cult Sol de Janeiro dupes in two sizes.
The minis only set shoppers back by £2 whilst the larger size were priced at £3.50.
The Capri Coast mist boasted to smell of jasmine and brown sugar, while the Bali Blush is orange flower and pineapple scented.
The Fiji Fiesta scent is apple and coconut.
And the new Rio Romance fragrance has notes of pear and amber.
Primark's original line-up of Sol de Janeiro dupes was released in April last year and consisted of three holiday-esque fragrances.

Aquarium mocked for launching woke special exhibition on ‘non-binary' fish as part of Pride Month

The one-day exhibition called Sunset Seas, is to highlight 'diversity in all its forms' 'LOAD OF POLLOCKS' Aquarium mocked for launching woke special exhibition on 'non-binary' fish as part of Pride Month Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TOURIST attraction has been mocked for launching a special exhibition of 'non-binary' fish. Bristol Aquarium says visitors can see species that 'challenge binary classifications' and 'parallels between marine life and the rich spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The exhibition will tell how clownfish can change from male to female Credit: AP The exhibition is to highlight 'diversity in all its forms'. Bosses at the popular tourist hotspot explained that guests would be shown fish which have 'sequential hermaphroditism' – the ability to change biological sex naturally. The phenomenon occurs in fish to help endangered species reproduce naturally underwater. They include the wrasse, which can change from female to male, and the clownfish, which typically change from male to female. But Spectator columnist Lionel Shriver wrote: 'We're presumably to conclude . . . that because some fish change sex and hermaphroditic undersea organisms are commonplace, for humans sex is a phantasmagorical multiple choice and we can change sex, too. 'If some fish can change sex . . . [it's] to their Darwinian advantage.' The Sunset Seas event will be held on June 28 and is part of Bristol's Pride Month celebrations. Chloe O'Dell, events and experiences manager at Bristol Aquarium, said: 'Our oceans are full of incredible stories of transformation and diversity. 'Sunset Seas is our way of celebrating those stories while creating a safe, inclusive, and joyful space for people to connect and be themselves.'
