Typically Gucci Flora will set you back £74, while M&S' Discover range typically costs £10.
Shopper Hannah, who posts under @lueurwithhannah, said their Summer Blooms scent is nearly a perfect match.
It is said to smell of magnolia, coconut and jasmine, while the Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia has notes of pear blossom, white gardenia, jasmine, and a hint of brown sugar.
M&S is now selling online again following its cyber-attack, but the product appears to be available in stores for now.

Over 1,500 people have liked the video, with one person writing: 'This smells beautiful.
'I was unsure at first when it mentioned jasmine but I was wrong.'
Hannah, hailing it as a 'dupe' for the Chanel Mademoiselle.
With Chanel Mademoiselle costing £135 at Boots, you can avoid paying £125 for a very similar scent, she claimed.
The description reads: 'Cardamom and pink pepper give a vibrant opening, while violet and iris soften into a base of sandalwood, musk and vanilla.'
And for a tenner, this scent could be a huge money-saver.

Hannah wrote: 'If you want to smell like Coco Mademoiselle try this from M&S.
'Same top notes apparently.
The designer alternative is said to have an 'ambery woody fragrance with a full-bodied character: sensual, deep and addictive.'
It isn't the only M&S perfume to have caused a stir.
DUPE SCENTS
Alex Pavlova, from the UK, took to social media and claimed a selection of perfume dupes from M&S were so good she had ditched the originals.
She then went on to share four of her favourite ones and how much money the originals cost.
The first on her list was a dupe for the £234 Le Labo Santal 33 scent.
The cheaper alternative is the Warmth fragrance which costs a fraction of the price at £12.

M&S says the expertly blended scent combines aromatic notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood to evoke a warming feeling of comfort.
She also revealed that the Spiced Amber fragrance was a dupe of Paco Rabanne's One Million and saves you £80.
Alex was also a fan of Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt perfume but at £118 it was on the pricier side.
Thankfully, she found a budget-friendly dupe from the British store with their Ocean Musk fragrance.
And for those who love the fresh and floral notes of Miss Dior perfume but want to avoid the £122 price tag, you're in luck.
Alex revealed that the £10 Blooming Lovely fragrance for M&S was almost identical.
The return of M&S' online shopping
M&S has revealed it's bringing back online shopping after weeks of issues. The posh supermarket was forced to suspend its online shopping after it was hit by a massive cyber attack.
A section on the M&S website says: "You can now place online orders with standard delivery to England, Scotland and Wales.
"Delivery to Northern Ireland will resume in the coming weeks.
"We will resume Click & Collect, next-day delivery, nominated-day delivery and international ordering in the coming weeks."
In a separate statement, the supermarket said a "selection of our best selling fashion ranges will be available for home delivery to England, Scotland and Wales".
"More of our fashion, beauty and home products will be added every day and we will resume home deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks," it said.
The supermarket added: "Thank you sincerely for your support and for shopping with us."
The Sun understands the majority of items are now available on the website and it will be fully operational in the coming weeks.
The news comes as M&S has spent weeks grappling with the fallout of the cyber attack.
Up until now it has not been able to confirm when it would bring back online shopping.
The cyber attack kicked off over Easter weekend and has been one of the worst to hit the high street in years.
M&S was forced to suspend its online orders and it also had major issues with Click and Collect, gift vouchers and its supply chain.
Some stores were stripped of staples like bananas and Colin the Caterpillar cakes, while meal deals were pulled in some branches.
The attack has caused a £300million blow to profits and customer info was also nicked during the breach.
Security experts have blamed notorious cyber gang 'Scattered Spider' for the chaos.
