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.'

Debbie Bright, 62, shows off her jaw-dropping figure in bright blue bikini as she enjoys family holiday to Italy
She soared to fame on The Only Way Is Essex, thanks to her hilarious one-liners, doting personality and kooky style. Yet Debbie Bright, 62, proved she has even more to be famous for as she flaunted her show-stopping figure during her current holiday to Italy. The star, who is a foster carer and has taken in over 200 children in her 30 years of work, took some well-deserved downtime on her jaunt. In the series of images she showcased her age-defying figure in a turquoise bikini, while sipping a glass of wine and laughing joyously at the camera. The jaunt to Italy is one of many for the tightknit family thanks to Debbie's heritage. The stunner is on holiday with her husband Dave as well as their brood - Georgia, 34, Lydia, 33, Freddie, 26, and Roma, 21, as well as Lydia's daughter Loretta. Her snap was met with huge praise from a number of friends, family and fans. Clearly impressed by her mum's age-defying looks, Lydia penned: 'This body in your 60s', with a series of fire emojis, while Lydia's pal and fellow TOWIE star Georgia Kousoulou wrote: 'Woooww'. Another former TOWIE star to respond was Billie Shepherd, neé Faiers, who wrote: 'Looking fabulous'. Prior to her bikini pictures, Debbie shared a selfie of her brood out for dinner. Debbie burst on to TV screens nearly 15 years ago in a supporting role on The Only Way Is Essex in support of her reality star daughter Lydia, before garnering huge praise from fans as one of the loving mums of the show. While she has kept her fostering off screens, Debbie has always spoken with passion about the work yet admits there are difficulties with the job. She told MailOnline in 2018: 'The hardest thing is when you have to give up babies, when you take a baby from a week old, a year or 18 months have to move on, that's heartbreaking. You have to remember you are just part of their journey... 'Some of the behaviours are so difficult to deal with. It's much harder to unlearn behaviours than to learn them. If you don't get a child until they're 10, sometimes you can break through but sometimes you can't... 'You know that child is going to have a difficult life, but they have to go through that journey to become that person they'll become in later life'.

This trendy hostel is a great affordable base for exploring Madrid
This industrial-chic hostel is located on a quiet side road off the Gran Via, which is to Madrid what Oxford Street is to London. Location is key here: you're an easy walk to the city's best museums, galleries, bars and restaurants, and several metro stations are close by. The building used to be a parking garage but was converted to accommodation in 2018; once inside you're greeted by the friendly team at reception — there's a small shop here if you've forgotten flip-flops, towels and the like — from which you can take a lift to your room. There are 129, a mix of dorms and doubles, and downstairs there's a communal hang-out space, an Eighties-themed bar-restaurant, and a lounge/dining area that can be separated off for larger groups. This article contains affiliate links that will earn us revenue Score 6/10There are a mix of four and eight-person dorms (some are female only), which are spartan but functional in design. These have their own separate showers and toilets, while each bed has a lockable trunk, a light and charging outlets, making for a relatively private space (you can buy locks and hire towels at reception). More effort has been used to create an industrial loft feel in the doubles and family rooms (a double plus a bunk): exposed concrete, laminate flooring, pea green accent wall and leather headboards. These rooms are en suite, with simply designed bathrooms. Overall, the dorms and rooms here are not ones you'd want to linger in, but at this price point you already know 7/10Breakfast is served on the ground-floor Level Bar, which channels an American diner vibe with a disco ball thrown in for good measure. There's a morning buffet that includes yoghurts, pastries, fruit, juices, cereals, scrambled eggs, cheeses, ham and the like. Later on, the menu morphs into all-day dishes that cover the globe (well, western Europe) from gazpacho to fish and chips and tagliatelle bolognese. Up on the roof is the rather funky Broken Shaker bar, a staple of the Generator brand, and while there's no pool, you will find a couple of hot tubs and plenty of chairs and loungers in what's a pretty inviting space. • Discover our full guide to Madrid• Best affordable hotels in Madrid Score 8/10The big extra draw here is the rooftop bar and relaxation area — its two hot tubs are a decent alternative to a pool, and the space for chairs and loungers is pretty expansive given the location. It's for guests only until 5pm, then open to all. There's parking here should you need it, and you can rent bicycles at a very reasonable cost. A small shop at reception stocks many of the basics you might have forgotten to pack, from ear plugs to toothbrushes, and you can rent or buy towels. Score 8/10The hotel is in the centre of town on Calle de San Bernado, which runs off the Gran Via and leads to Plaza Santo Domingo, where you'll find several cafés with outside seating for beers and snacks on warmer days. On foot, you are about ten minutes to the Palacio Real and 25 minutes to the Prado Museum. Several metro stations are within walking distance, the nearest being just a minute away.

The truth about the commission airline staff earn on booze, bag charges and scratch-cards
You don't need to watch one of those fly-on-the-wall documentaries to appreciate that working for an airline can be a stressful job – and one that isn't always handsomely compensated. In theory, then, most of us wouldn't begrudge the opportunity for staff to earn themselves a bonus for good performance. In reality, some bonuses can prove more contentious than you might expect, particularly when customers are kept in the dark about them. For a prime example, look at the comments earlier this summer from Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary – never one to avoid controversy – when he said he wanted to see ground staff given extra money in return for enforcing the airline's notoriously strict baggage rules. Naturally, the comments ruffled some feathers from those who fear the low cost carrier is tough enough with its allowances. Ryanair has since confirmed that its ground staff are already paid a small commission, reportedly around €1.50 per bag intercepted. 'That is likely to rise to €2.50 per bag in October,' says a Ryanair spokesman. 'We are determined to eliminate the scourge of oversized bags which delays our boarding process and annoys the 99.9 per cent of passengers who comply with the rules.' It certainly isn't the first time that Ryanair's 'incentives' have come under the spotlight. It's been known since the mid-2010s that cabin crew were being paid a commission on any on-board sales – including alcohol and scratch-cards – to help the airline make more money. There were also suggestions at the time that staff with lower sales figures were being given less choice over their roster – something that the airline denies. An American invention Like many things in the budget airline world, the practice was pioneered by American carriers, who have become notorious for badgering their passengers to sign up to airline credit cards. According to one Spirit staffer, cabin crew can receive as much as $70 when a customer successfully takes out one of their cards. Either way, these incentives have now become an essential part of the deal when working for low-cost carriers and charter airlines in particular. 'When I worked as cabin crew for a major charter airline, around 40 per cent of my earnings was made up of on-board sales commissions,' says Charlotte Crocker, a former flight attendant who now provides training to cabin crew. 'We would sell duty-free products, headsets, food, drinks and anything else that was available. We weren't put under a huge amount of pressure from the airline, but they would offer extra bonuses – like a pair of designer sunglasses or something similar – to the best sellers.' As for the current incentives, Ryanair pays 10 per cent on all in-flight sales, as does its competitor Wizz Air. There are also extra incentives for high performers: when travel writer Rob Crossan attended a Wizz training day for The Telegraph a few years ago, he found that top sellers were given more choice over which routes they worked, meaning they could pick the higher-spending flights. While commission is still a big deal, the pressure from above has eased up over the years, say insiders, partly due to the number of airlines scrambling to recruit cabin crew. Though the ongoing cost of living crunch means that staff have an extra incentive to earn their bonuses, particularly when the standard salary for low-cost airlines can be around £20,000 per year. As for the legacy carriers, the emphasis on bonuses is much smaller. 'On the short-haul flights you can get commission on food and drink sales, but it's generally a much smaller part of your pay,' says a British Airways staffer. 'It's not like Ryanair where people make money from the non-stop alcohol [sales].' Mixed messages It's all rather intriguing given the general push towards responsible drinking, with Michael O'Leary in particular emerging as an unlikely voice of moderation in recent years. Last year, he even called for airports to enforce a two-drink minimum to help prevent on-board misbehaviour. Though when you weigh up the economics of in-flight hospitality, it's not hard to see why Ryanair might take a slightly different approach towards its own alcohol sales. According to IATA, the global aviation trade body, European airlines generate an average profit of just £6.80 per passenger (indeed if you divide Ryanair's profits by its passenger numbers, you get a very similar number). Those kinds of margins mean that hospitality sales can make a sizeable difference, particularly with alcoholic drinks. According to US industry figures, airlines typically make around 50 per cent profit on every alcoholic drink they sell, not least as they aren't subject to the same taxation rules as restaurants and bars. Even if they pay a 10 per cent bonus to the staff member who sold the drinks, they're still making a healthy profit. As for the baggage fees, Ryanair currently charges up to £75 for each item of over-sized baggage that gets stopped at the gate. If ground staff get €1.50 (or £1.30) for each bag they intercept, they're still getting a much less generous deal than their cabin crew peers. Arguably, they're also doing the far tougher job of having to tell disgruntled customers they need to pay more. Interestingly, the idea of paying bonuses to ground staff gets a thumbs up from cabin crew too. 'Sometimes I think that ground staff don't bother about stopping people with larger bags as they don't want the trouble,' says a flight attendant with one full-service airline. 'But that creates problems for us on board when there isn't enough locker space to go around.' On the other hand, if ground staff had an extra incentive to enforce the rules then passengers would be less inclined to try their luck in the first place. It also means that those who have shelled out the extra cash in order to bring on board more luggage won't feel aggrieved for having wasted their money, they suggest. That's the thing about airline bonuses: we might not always like them, but they do tend to make sense – at least from the perspective of those responsible for keeping the industry moving in the first place.
