Wild is more of a masculine fragrance and is supposed to smell like Dior's Sauvage which is usually £118."Miss Paris is supposed to be similar to CHANEL'S COCO MADEMOISELLE for £125. Cerise is supposed to smell like Tom Ford's Lost Cherry which costs an eye watering £390 for 100ml."Gold is supposed to be similar to Paco Rabanne's Lady Million which retails for £178. And finally Golden Hour and Island Breeze are supposed to be similar to Sol de Janeiro's Cherirosa '62 and Cheirosa '76 which are both £38."
The post racked up 242.8k views, thousands of likes and a number of comments from excited shoppers. Among them, one person said: "I got the Tom Ford [alternative] it lasts long and for 8 pound not too shabby."

Scottish TikTok food blogger Emily Franchi finds recipe for success
Emily Franchi, 23, known on TikTok as @foodbyfranchi, started posting food content on the platform less than a year ago and has already gained a following of more than 180,000 people. It began with Franchi just casually posting her weekly dinners and before she knew it, she had people from across the world tuning in daily to see her latest meal. Franchi said: 'I am overwhelmed, it feels great. It is such a lovely feeling because people are so nice. It's great to know people want to follow along with what I'm making for dinner. 'I do question 'why are you all following me' but the main feeling is happiness that I am inspiring people to get into the kitchen with new ideas for their weekly dinner rotation.' Franchi's love for cooking comes from her family as her parents were always cooking while she was growing up at home. READ MORE: Lily Phillips tackles dark side of motherhood with Edinburgh Fringe show Albeit she never partook in cooking herself and it was not until the start of last year when Franchi moved out her family home that she began cooking. She said: 'I kind of fell into it, to be honest, it was a bit of a weird one. I moved out of my parents' house, and I was experimenting with cooking last year. Then I saw a trend on TikTok going round that people were posting what they had for dinner this week and I thought why not jump on the trend.' She made two posts and one of her posts went viral months later. 'I posted a couple in September then I never really bothered again and while I was on holiday a few months later, it started going really viral, so it wasn't an immediate thing,' Franchi explained. That TikTok featured the meals she had cooked that week including honey chilli chicken, butter chicken, chilli, and roast chicken. Since resuming her posting, it has been a constant growth for her account in 2025, and she believes the reason for that success is the relatability of her content. Dishes like crispy chilli chicken noodles, sweet and sour chicken, chicken tikka kebab bowls, and chicken chorizo pasta have all scored views around the one million mark. Her most viewed TikTok – at 32.4 million views and two million likes – features some of her dinner ideas such as buffalo tenders with mac and cheese, chorizo carbonara, steak and chilli garlic noodles, and katsu curry. 'A lot of the dinners and recipes I post are catered to beginners, they are easy in that sense and quite quick,' she said. READ MORE: Rhoda Meek: The drive to go digital has real implications in rural and island areas 'I post a lot of 20-minute recipes for people which suits people who are working full time or have kids. 'All of my ingredients are accessible and quite budget-friendly which I think is what resonates with people too.' The inspiration for her recipes comes from a mix of her mum's cooking growing up, online information, and a lot of trial and error when she combines some of her favourite dishes together to see if they work. In May, after months of being asked to by her followers, Franchi published a digital cookbook that people can buy which features 50 of her favourite and most requested recipes. She said: 'The idea came from my followers to have recipes all in one place that they could access on their phone because it can be hard to scroll to find things on my page. 'I kind of thought people want this now and a hard copy cookbook would take months of working with a company to get it. 'Whereas I wanted to get something to my followers quickly and it was just a couple of weeks of late nights to put it together myself.' Her most popular TikTok post has amounted to more than 32 million views when she showed off 20 dinner ideas for people to use and Franchi said the reception she has had from people has been great. 'My favourite comments are people saying thank you and people saying this is a lifesaver which has been so strange,' Franchi added. 'That was one thing I didn't realise people were struggling with. People are like, I hate thinking of new dinner ideas, especially with kids, and they tend to get stuck in the rut of having the same thing every week on rotation. 'A lot of people say they sit down on a Sunday, come to my page and plan their weekly dinners.' Franchi said she has many plans for the future to help keep her account growing and providing people across the world with simple, tasty recipes. 'My next step is a bigger and better version of a cookbook,' she said. 'I would love a hard copy book and to double the number of recipes in it. I had requests to start doing weekly meal plans for people with shopping lists which I would love to do for my followers.' She also has some trips planned for the rest of the year where she will take her TikTok with her after the success of her recently documented trips to Italy, Greece and Dublin trying different foods.

Love Island's Harry Cooksley's ex Emma reveals what he messaged her before he appeared on ITV2 show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island bombshell Emma Munro has revealed just what her ex and former co-star Harry Cooksley messaged her before heading into the villa. The ITV2 star, 30, spoke candidly during a chat aired on Spill With Will's TikTok page - just days after she broke her silence about the pair plotting to win the show's £50K cash prize. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Love Island's Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro has revealed what he messaged her before he appeared on the show Credit: TikTok/@spillwithwill 6 She thought he was going to rehab when he said he would be out of contact Credit: Eroteme 6 Harry and Emma dated on the outside world prior to their villa stints Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Love Island 2025 OG Harry, 30, was initially left stunned when his real-world ex Emma entered the Mallorca compound, and he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." Fans then previously insisted the late arrival should win the series after dishing out home truths to Harry before revealing the real reason for their split. Now Emma, who underwent an image revamp prior to her time in the dating programme, has let slip their last conversation before he entered the ITV2 series as a show OG. She denied knowing he was going on the matchmaking series and said: "No, he [Harry] sent me the weirdest text right before he went into holding. "And he basically said 'oh you won't be able to contact me for the summer, please get hold of my mum if you need anything.' "I thought oh he's going to rehab. "Or he's checked into a wellness centre, how wrong was I?" Emma, who was recently given the boot from the show, told how she first became aware of his telly gig when she saw his Instagram post. She added: "I wasn't shocked you know. Spot the blink and you'll miss it moment that proves Love Islanders Emma and Harry are still in love - did you see it? "I feel like this is a bit of him, he'd be the perfect candidate. "And he has been, he's carried the show on his back lets be honest." PLOT REVEAL During their time in the villa together, the pair's connection appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some new banter about PDA. Fans were then quick to claim the brunette's "real mask had slipped." This was exacerbated when she was heard discussing the show's £50K cash prize pot on the ITV2 series. In spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama directly asked the TV show star why. She said: "You're one of the few Islanders who have actually mentioned the 50k." Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that? "I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?" Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke. "Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly. "None of it was serious." 6 Emma was given the boot from the series recently Credit: Eroteme 6 She told how she wasn't surprised to see Harry in the villa and claimed he 'carried the show on his back' Credit: TikTok/@spillwithwill

Mum's £2.50 hack to 'save hundreds' on summer holiday outings with kids
Mum's £2.50 hack to 'save hundreds' on summer holiday outings with kids With the cost of living seemingly always on the rise, it's hard to keep the kids entertained for – but one parent has shared a genius 'hack' she claims can save you hundreds A mum-of-two has shared a 'genius hack' for the school summer holidays (stock) (Image: Caiaimage/Paul Bradbury via Getty Images) With the school summer holidays now upon us, keeping children entertained for six weeks can prove challenging at the best of times – but with living costs continuing to rise, it becomes even more daunting. However, one parent has revealed a brilliant "hack" which she claims could potentially save families hundreds of pounds during days out. "This is one of the best money saving tips for the summer holidays," declared mum-of-two Amy Samantha in a TikTok video. "As a family of four, sometimes we're looking at £40 for lunch out – so this is what we do for the majority of our days out and it only takes about five minutes to prepare in the morning." Content cannot be displayed without consent Samantha Ann's clip continued as she opened a tin of hot dogs from her kitchen cupboards whilst demonstrating her technique. The mum then prepared the sausages, which cost just £2.50, at home before placing them – along with their brine - into a flask. Not forgetting the tomato ketchup and American mustard, Samantha Ann packed them into her rucksack alongside a packet of hot dog rolls. "It's easy to carry around like this," she explained. "No giant cool box is needed and as you can see, my kids absolutely love them. "It's a summer holiday winner from Ye Olde Oake [hot dog brand]," she announced as her children could be seen enjoying their meal on a picnic blanket. One TikTok user, in response to the idea, praised it as: "Genius... I look at the insane prices charged today and just don't understand how people afford it. Growing up we always took packed lunches/picnics with us, it was a real treat to go to a cafe or restaurant. It's ironic that things have turned full circle." Another person concurred: "Good on you your saving loads. Why give money to use expensive places when you have a winner there." A third added: "This is a fantastic idea thank you for sharing. Hot food in the go." Whilst a fourth TikTok user simply stated: "Good on you, it's so expensive now for families." Earlier this month, reports indicated that families, on average, will spend an additional £611 over the holiday period, adding strain to already tight household budgets. Article continues below A survey commissioned by Utility Warehouse, involving 1,000 parents with children aged 5 to 14, revealed that costs can escalate even further for those booking clubs and camps, adding another £385 to the bill. Day trips are expected to cost an extra £199, while food and snacks alone could increase expenses by £401. Steve Long, spokesperson for Utility Warehouse, commented: "With a mix of day trips, summer camps and even an increase in cost for keeping the kids fed, these additions soon add up, but there are some great ways they can save money. Shopping around for bargains and using money saving devices like rewards and cashback cards can be a big help."
