And now it's selling a beauty pack you won't want to forget in your hand luggage.
It's already brought out Sol De Janeiro dupes in the past including a range of body mists and bath products.
But now Primark has upped the stakes with its new travel-friendly buy.
For just £6 you can now get a lip balm, moisturiser and body mist to rival the designer brand.
The Santorini Sunset travel bag costs just £6 making it way cheaper to the Sol De Janeiro option which retails for £30.
The travel essentials come in a gorgeous almond and caramel scent much like the luxe brand's classic Chirosa collection.
Primark's original line-up of Sol de Janeiro dupes was released in April last year and consisted of three holiday-esque fragrances.
Then in January this year, fast fashion bosses added five more scents - including the Santorini Sunsets.
Among the others are Capri Coast, Bali Blush, Rio Romance and Fiji Fiesta, and they all come in similar bottles to the £24 Sol de Janeiro viral Perfume Mists.
The travel set comes in an orange travel bag to match and is under the 100ml limit for hand luggage making it perfect for any vacations this year.
Why Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream is a cult favourite among beauty lovers
Holiday Must-haves
Primark has gone viral this year for its selection of cheap hand luggage.
TikTok user Pia Blossom decided to put it's new carry on suitcase to the test and see how much the popular tiny bag can hold - while being within the regulations.
It measures 40x20x25cm, when its wheels are removed, meaning it's fully compliant with Ryanair's underseat baggage dimensions (40x20x25cm)
It's also ideal for EasyJet customers, with their under-seat cabin bag's maximum dimensions being 45x36x20cm, including handles and wheels.
The airline claims this size allows you to 'bring all the essentials for a short trip' - but Pia decided to see if this was true for her.
'Shall we see how much we can fit in it?" she asked viewers.
Getting to work, Pia managed to add a 'couple of dresses, a couple of jackets, cardigan, underwear, spare bra and [two pairs of] summery shoes.'
'I almost forgot pyjamas, but we got them in there, too.
'This is closing much easier than I thought it would, which feels like a challenge to put more in.
'I am so impressed with that.'

I stayed in a floating yacht hotel in Europe – we had champagne breakfasts on a budget and even spotted celebs
DAVID WALLIAMS was sitting at the next table offering to massage a newlywed couple. First morning aboard the Sunborn floating hotel in Gibraltar and the professional extrovert was in full character, engaging with star-struck holidaymakers as only he can, with a twinkle in his eye. 6 6 6 We arrived too late the night before to catch the Little Britain comic's one-man show at a sports centre but apparently it went down a storm. He has already asked to return for November's literary festival, and it's no surprise. Gibraltar has for so long been pigeonholed as a stopover for day trippers. Passengers on the 250-odd cruise ships that briefly moor under the Rock's majestic presence dash around to see a few sights but mainly aim to take advantage of the VAT-free shopping. It's a trend the local tourist board is working hard to reverse. They want travellers to take more time fully taking in the surprisingly large number of things to do on a tiny sun-kissed slab of Britain at the mouth of the Med. And when beer is just £3.75 a pint, why not stay longer to enjoy? Secret bunker Gibraltar's gripping history has a deep association with our Armed Forces. The Royal Engineers were founded here in the 18th century and practically built the place. The honeycomb of tunnels dug by clever sappers during World War Two offers a fascinating insight into the work of our determined Armed Forces and the strategic importance of Gibraltar during the conflict. In one cavern hangs a full-size replica of a legendary Spitfire fighter plane. There is also the spine-chilling story of the Stay Behind Cave — the once secret bunker carved into the heart of the mountain, complete with provisions for a year and a bicycle generator. An elite group of patriotic volunteers agreed to be sealed off from the outside world for a year and spy on the Axis powers, should Gibraltar get overrun — the ultimate one-way ticket in the line of duty. From the exotic Moorish times, through the centuries of the British Empire and beyond, there are tours to take and a bloody back story to hear in the name of entertainment. Strait of Gibraltar Tunnel: A New Bridge Between Continents My wife and I stayed four nights on the permanently moored Sunborn yacht hotel, anchored flush against the dockside of Gibraltar's Ocean Village. It's a 5H joint, and the food and service reflects that. Yet even in high season, a spacious double room with a large window can be yours for £185 a night, including champagne breakfast. Step ashore and you can be seated in one of many lively bars with giant outdoor screens beaming major sports from back home. If that's not for you, just 50 yards away is Little Bay Restaurant — a vibrant Indian fusion eaterie where bubbly manager Kelly welcomes you with warm cockney charm, before delicately blended curries combined with zingy cocktails top off an early summer evening. Gibraltar's biggest attraction in every sense is the looming mound of limestone that dominates everything here. Get to the top via the scenic cable car and peer down from the stomach-churning Skywalk 1,400 feet above the sparkling sea — opened by Luke Skywalker, aka Mark Hamill, himself. Take in the view across the Straits, a 15-mile- wide blue chasm separating Europe from North Africa — which David Walliams heroically swam in aid of Sport Relief in 2008. The Northern Defences are also worth a visit. This cavernous labyrinth of tunnels has been added to over time, since the eighth century. Our guide, Karl Viagas, is steadfastly uncovering more historical treasures underground that will be spectacular when fully open. 6 6 6 James Bond creator Ian Fleming was stationed here with Naval Intelligence, and daring undersea attacks on the Allied fleet by Italian scubamen in the war fuelled his already vivid imagination for future books and movies. And in true 007 style, we were accompanied by a glamorous former Miss World who would grace any Bond movie. Kaiane Aldorino, former Mayor of Gibraltar, is now an ambassador for the territory. Sunshine, cheap beer and a beauty queen for company — plus you can spend British pounds. But like many places, travel and the natural world can often rub each other up the wrong way. Gibraltar's playful macaque monkeys are funny to watch for a time but have become a way for taxi drivers to make a few easy quid. The roads at the top of the rock were clogged with cabbies queuing to feed junk food to these wild animals in return for them doing tricks. Far better to join Brian Gomila on his Monkey Talk tour in the kinder environment of the surrounding trees. And if you really want to go green, join Stuart at EBike-Gibraltar. Power-assisted cycling on a lap around the base of the rock is easy on the legs and the eyes as you stop off at small fishing villages with inviting beaches. There's a lot of fun to be had too. A dizzying gin-tasting session at the Spirit Of The Rock distillery was as enlightening as it was alcoholic. David Walliams might agree, it's Little Britain — but with Spanish style and weather.

Love Island's Blu Chegini offers sex tips to co-stars and sets his sights on the hideaway as he reveals his parents' VERY racy jobs
Love Island's Blu Chegini has joked that he will offer sex tips to his co-stars in the villa and has set his eyes on the hideaway as he opened up about his mum's VERY racy job. The construction project manager, 26, from London, is one of the sexy singletons ready to find The One on the upcoming series of the ITV2 dating show. Ahead of entering the iconic villa in Mallorca, Blu revealed that his mum owns a 'popular' sex shop in Spain. When asked what his parents think if he ended up doing the deed on the programme, Blu said: 'I haven't really spoken to them about it. 'It's not something I probably would have gone and said, "look, listen, what's going to happen." From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Yes it's something that we've been open with our whole lives. 'It doesn't mean that I'm going in there with like "I'm going do that, this is what is going to happen." 'Like, whatever happens, they're gonna be supported no matter what. 'So for me, it's not always that.' The hunk is very interested to see what Love Island's iconic Hideaway has to offer - which is usually kitted out with various sex toys and kinky outfits. The room is somewhere the Islanders can get some alone time in an intimate setting away from the rest of their co-stars He said: 'I'm keen to see what the hideaway has in store!' Blu added: 'I hope they bring in like, not the trashy stuff.' The hunk is very interested to see what Love Island's iconic Hideaway has to offer - which is usually kitted out with various sex toys and kinky outfits When asked if he'll give any tips to the other Islanders, he said: 'I don't think I'm qualified for that... 'But I could give some tips if needed.' It comes after it was revealed that Love Island fans are set to enjoy the x-rated sex scenes happening in the famous Hideaway again as a new summer instalment looms in. The hit dating ITV show is set to bring sexy back for the very first time in five years, according to bosses' comments. 'If sex happens, we'll show it. 'The Hideaway will be open 24 hours,' Mike Spencer, Love Island's Creative Director said. He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. 'After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.' And although the usual play of Love Island is to couple up with one other person from the opposite sex - bosses are hoping for potential throuples in the villa this year as they 'tear up the rule book' and install new furniture to help encourage bonking and create drama. One of the new additions includes a trampoline bed that sits across the swimming pool, and the Love Island exec has insisted it has been tested for up to four people. The secret hideaway - which includes a bed and hot tub - is now open 24 hours a day for those that aren't coupled up. Love Island's Harry Cooksley and Ben Holbrough have also insisted that they WILL have sex in the villa - and have already warned their families about saucy romps airing to the nation. When asked about if would go all the way, Harry from Guildford, Surrey, said: 'Listen... It's not out of question. 'If it feels right then I will. I have briefed my mum as well. Meanwhile Ben from Gloustershire said: 'I can never say never. 'You know, you gotta take every day as it comes. 'Who knows... there's a girl and I was trying to bed with, and she's sexy... 'Who knows, cuddling every night, it could get carried away. 'The hideaway is there as well, so we'll wait and see.' Love Island starts Monday 9th June 2025.

I tried the European train that runs from seaside to city – it felt like a first class flight but cost just £40
AFTER tucking into the smoked salmon, pesto and cream cheese brioche handed to me by a smiling attendant, I reclined in my seat while the landscape flashed by. It might sound like the first-class cabin of an airline, but I'm actually on a Polish train. 5 5 The intercity high-speed trains that run from the pretty port city of Gdansk on the Baltic coast down to the stately southern city of Krakow are the finest way to see Poland. And a first-class ticket, complete with food, drink and a rolling vista of wonderful views, costs around £40 for the 300-mile journey. The British equivalent would be taking a train from London to Glasgow. But you'd need to add a zero to the price at peak times. Gdansk wears its history lightly but respectfully. This is where World War Two started, when the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein bombed the port of what was then called Danzig. There's a huge museum in a slanting building dedicated to the conflict ( which takes pains to concentrate on witness testimonies from ordinary Polish citizens who lived through the war. The sheer size of the tank that sits on a recreated city street puts paid to any Hollywood notions of war being anything other than an exercise in terror. Gdansk's nightlife is every bit as lively as you would expect from a port city, but the cliché of rough sailors' pubs has long gone. The Mercure Hotel offers knockout cocktails in its chic bar, while I also sampled sublime local vodkas to a DJ soundtrack amid the battered Chesterfield sofas inside Bar Lamus. The train south to Krakow takes just over five hours and runs right through the centre of the country. Leaving the Baltic coast, we passed vast fields of racing green, clusters of birch trees, red painted barns and deserted rural stations with flowerbeds outside. Arrows of sunlight pierced tapering lanes and turned the glossy, depthless rivers and streams the colour of pewter. For a country that has seen so much bloodshed, from a high-speed train, the nation looks ordered, calm and reassuringly familiar — like the landscapes of Lincolnshire or Kent from half a century ago. As I order a glass of white wine, we run through the teeming cluster of Warsaw, with its mowed parks and jumble of new skyscrapers in the background. An afternoon nap was inviting, but I was once again transfixed by the landscapes as we rolled further south. Ice-cream-scoop clouds hung above stout houses with roofs the colour of strong tea. 5 5 I felt I could sit on this train for ever. But Krakow is the end of the high-speed line, and so I made my way on foot into the Old Town — a pleasing maze of arcades and courtyards that meanders past the majestic royal castle and cathedral on Wawel Hill and down to the Vistula River. Dinner came courtesy of Pod Baranem ( which looks like a Polish granny's living room but serves delicious plates of local classics such as dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese and roast veal with mushrooms. Back at the funky, loft-style Mercure Fabryczna hotel, I fell into bed feeling I needed to rethink my definitions of luxury travel. You don't need five-star cruise liners or infinite air miles to travel in style. A Polish train can make you feel pampered in a way that's unlikely to ever occur on National Rail.
