SHOPPERS are racing to Sainsbury's to pick up its latest home scent.
The supermarket has sent people into a frenzy over their tomato leaf homeware range.
Jess, a fan of the scent, took to social media to raise the flag and let everyone know about the new buy.
Sharing a video of the candle, Jess said: " Sainsbury's coming through with the LOEWE dupe."
Loewe, a designer brand most famously known for its Puzzle bag, are also master's in scents.
The Tomato Leaf candle has always been a favourite with fans but priced at £88, it's pretty expensive for a candle.
That's why shoppers are loving Sainsbury's version as the scent is hard to find on the high street.
And the best part is that it costs just £12 - giving you a saving of £76.
Sainsbury's bosses say: "Bring home aromatic freshness with this candle.
"Featuring green notes of mint and vetiver blended with herbaceous tomato leaf, tangy grapefruit and sweet fig.
"Comes poured in a glass holder with lid."
The stunning packaging comes with a gorgeous white label with an image of tomatoes on the vine and gives your home the perfect summer scent.
The £3.50 M&S buy that'll make your whole house smell like a 'boujee candle'
The new scent range also comes as an oil, diffuser and room spray and is available in stores and online.
Jess' clip went viral on her TikTok account @ sundaywithjess with over 24k views and 600 likes.
People were quick to take to the comments claiming they also loved the scent.
One person wrote: "The smell of tomato leaf reminds me of my childhood helping my grandad in his greenhouse... even when I smell it now I'm transported back to that happy memory... miss him very much!"
Hottest home trends for 2025
Renovations expert Andy Simms, from MyBuilder.com revealed the hottest interior design trends for this year.
COLOUR DRENCHING
Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space - doors, radiators, and even furniture won't escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige - once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms.
STATEMENT WALLPAPER
Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme.
BROKEN LIVING PLAN
Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn't quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces - with a twist. 'Broken plan' is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass.
Another commented: 'The essential oil of this is UNREAL by the way if anyone has an oil diffuser."
"It's a really lovely option - I have the room spray," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Obsessed with tomato smells!"
Someone else added: 'I agree!!! I have it in the house. It's so lovely."

Brit popstar's Glastonbury gig is cancelled and last minute replacement is revealed

A huge British popstar's intimate Glastonbury gig has been cancelled. PinkPantheress - real name Victoria Beverley Walker - was scheduled to play a 30 minute slot on the Levels stage in Silver Hayes at 11pm on Thursday. But now there has been a major change in the set schedule as Roza Terenzi will play 10.30pm to midnight, in between a Confidence Man DJ set and Marie Davidson. Fans of PinkPantheress will not be left disappointed as she will instead grace the Woodies Stage at 7.30pm on Friday. Taking to Reddit, eagled-eyed fans welcomed the decision as they believed the star was too popular for the original schedule as they said it would have been 'rammed'. One penned: 'Was going to be dangerously rammed.' 'Probably for the best, having anything remotely popular on the stage (especially on Thursday) is always a recipe for disaster.' 'Could have seen that coming, why even book it then.' 'Yeah everyone knew it would be carnage from the moment it was announced.' A spokesman for Glastonbury told the Sun: 'This change was absolutely not as a result of overcrowding fears, the artist was simply no longer able to make this performance. But she is still playing her Woodsies set.' Pink Pantheress found fame on TikTok and has had a top 10 in the UK singles and album charts, respectively, as well as being nominated for three Brit Awards. The Pink Pantheress' news comes after some of the UK's biggest politcal leaders demanded another act to be pulled from the festival lineup. The Prime Minister has called for Kneecap to be dropped from Glastonbury after one of the band members was charged with a terror offence. Following similar calls from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, Sir Keir Starmer said it was 'not appropriate' for the Irish rappers to perform at the festival. Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. The 27-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday morning following the alleged incident at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London. In an interview with The Sun, Sir Keir was asked if he thought the trio should perform at Glastonbury, to which he replied: 'No, I don't, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this. 'This is about the threats that shouldn't be made, I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' It comes after Conservative Party leader Ms Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance at the festival. Ms Badenoch said in the X post, which was accompanied by an article from The Times that claimed the BBC had not banned the group: 'The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. 'One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. 'As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' Ms Badenoch has previously called for the group to be banned from Glastonbury, and last year Kneecap won a discrimination case against the UK Government after she tried to refuse them a £14,250 funding award. Kneecap took aim at Ms Badenoch in their latest single, The Recap, which was released just before their headline set at London's Wide Awake festival in May. The song mocked the politician's attempts to block their arts funding and the Conservative Party's election loss.

B&Q launches £9.75 decoration that's the perfect backdrop for garden parties & turns your space into a romantic haven

B&Q has launched a £9.75 decoration that works as the perfect backdrop for your summer garden parties. The simple but sweet ornament can turn any space into a romantic haven for a very affordable price. 4 4 4 B&Q's Artificial Grass Wall Panels - decorated with dahlia roses and hydrangeas - are the perfect choice if you want to spice up your garden or bring some warm colours into your indoor living spaces. And at just £9.75, they're an absolute bargain. Each panel measures 40x60cm and contains a number of flowers tied to a grate. The products, sold and shipped by Garden Sanctuary, aren't stocked in B&Q stores but you can order them online. This comes just days after shoppers raced to B&Q stores to grab the perfect budget friendly product to elevate their gardens and add instant privacy to their outdoor space. There's nothing worse than sitting outside with a glass of wine and a good book, only to realise that your nosy neighbour is peeking at you over the fence. Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive - and can sometimes lead to disagreements with neighbours. Paul CEO of plants and perennials specialists J. Parker's revealed that one stylish way of creating privacy in your garden is by planting ornamental grasses. He said: 'Grasses can be used easily to create internal screens or hedges that flower beautifully, move in the slightest breeze, and need little care during the summer months. "I recommend silvergrass or pampas grass to not only conceal your garden, but to introduce interesting textures. 6 ways to get rid of slugs and snails "Their fast growth rate makes ornamental grasses ideal for privacy hedges because new plants can rapidly fill in any gaps.' B&Q's Stipa Pony Tails Ornamental Grass is currently priced at £10.49, making it a perfect solution for penny pinchers. The height of the plant when you purchase it will be 30-45cm, but ornamental grass can grow up to three metres tall. The plant is low maintenance, so won't cause you any stress, plus its feathery plumes will elevate the look of your garden into a stylish haven. Additionally, B&Q slashed the price of an ornament - that helps your patio seem bigger - to just £11 last week. The is available for just £10.79. Usually referred to as the cherry tree, this plant has a compact, rounded shape and a gently spreading habit. WITH summer well and truly here, many people are outside updating their gardens. And it seems avid gardeners have found the perfect buy to give gardens a quick update and add some extra privacy to their space. B&Q is selling a garden must-have to give you some peace and quiet while adding some extra greenery. The Decorative Artificial Ivy Leaf Green Hedge Roll has been a hit with customers and can easily be attached to an existing fence or balcony. Thankfully, it comes at a bargain price with a 3m x 1m roll costing just £22.99. The fencing panel is made up of hundreds of fake ivy leaves in a deep green colour and decorates the garden, just as well as giving you privacy. The Artificial Fence Panel is also super easy to install. The snap hook backings can fit many different areas and are flexible, which makes mounting easier by providing a way to install on an area with Zip Ties or Nails. It's also perfect to create privacy with the leaves positioned on the snap hook backing to create a full look, while the snap hook backing also acts as a second layer of privacy with a beautiful leaf design. The B&Q item also comes with a two-year guarantee and has UV protection to stop the colour of the leaves from fading in the sun. This makes it suitable for planting in small gardens or areas with limited space. Garden designer Karen McClure explained that adding plants to your patio space would help it to seem bigger. "Use ornamental feature trees," she advised anyone struggling with limited outdoor space. "Multi-stem specimens in particular can be kept to a controlled height in a large feature pot, and can create a lovely focal point as well as give interest at a higher level. Be bold." She added that the number of plant varieties should be kept to a minimum. "Too many varieties can create a busy and chaotic feel, whereas a simple planting palette will feel harmonised, soothing, and calm," she said.

Keir's kitchen sink drama (that wasn't just a big act after all)

J ust seven minutes stood between the sweat-saturated mass of pasty flesh in the mirror and my profound need to be in a visual state to not scare people over their dinner on national television. Sloughing the glistening moisture from my torso with paper towels in the men's loos as my long-suffering producer, Ryan Thrussell, didn't quite know where to look was the definition of being 'a bit tight on time' for my show. Ryan raced through the running order and list of guests as I hastily dabbed down the inevitable results of one of the hottest days of the year, the 12.58 from Uttoxeter via Derby running more than half an hour late, and a sprint from the Tube by a profoundly unfit 41-year-old. As Ryan handed me a dry shirt and I inserted my earpiece, we both knew the prime ministerial interview I had chased for four months was recorded, almost ready to go, and this was just a temporary, albeit rather damp, interlude.
