The popular discount retailer has stepped up its beauty game over the last few years - and its latest additions to the shelves are certainly not here to disappoint.
According to fans of the mega store, you can now snap up a dupe of the posh YSL Black Opium, which has become a huge hit online and on the high street.
While the high-end version will set you back an eye-watering £97 for a 50ml bottle, Home Bargains customers can purchase Opal Black for a mere £2.
Black Opium is described by Yves Saint Laurent as a "captivating floral gourmand scent" with dark, roasted notes of coffee.
So if you love the aroma but don't want to spend close to £100 on a perfume, this £2 version is perfect.
With such an epic price difference, it comes as no wonder that the Home Bargains perfume has already taken the internet by storm.
One mum, who remained anonymous, took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group to rave about the purse-friendly buy.
She wrote in the post: ''Got these for my teenage daughters today £2 at home bargains.
''They go through so much and they smell amazing, I'll be back for the other dupes.''
But while many seemed to love the affordable perfumes, there were also plenty of those claiming the aroma fades in no time.

One beauty buff warned: ''These fakes smell lovely when u spray them, but don't last too long. Noted Aromas do good copies and they last longer.''
Someone else agreed, writing: ''Smells nice for about 20 minutes then you can't smell it anymore.''
A mum chimed in: ''I have this my daughter got me it. Smells lovely.''

Stop flies coming into your house immediately with £3.99 Home Bargains buy – it takes seconds to install & looks stylish
YOU can stop flies coming into your house immediately with £3.99 Home Bargains buy. We all know how the warmer summer months can mean that more insects come into the home. 4 4 But instead of potential chemical sprays and repellent, there may be another way to keep flying bugs out. It also happens that the item looks stylish and it takes just seconds to install in the house. Home Bargains is selling the Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen for under a fiver. You can stay cool and breeze through summer with the protective barrier for just £3.99. It features magnetic closure and lace detail which comes in handy if you don't have a tool box. No instruments are needed to install the screen, which means it's easier than ever to keep the insects at bay. The population of house flies is far higher in the warmer months as they are more active and they reproduce more rapidly. The daytime is when most house flies are most active as peak activity often occurs in either the early morning or the late afternoon. It may be an idea to keep food sources away from the window as the insects are attracted to them. This also includes rubbish like waste, bones, leftovers and rotting food. Urgent 'do not eat' warning issued for cereal In the UK, wasps are also most active during the summer months when their colonies are at peak size. In this period, they are busy foraging for food, feeding their larvae, and they build nests - which are difficult to get rid of. This also means the activity of stingers is at its peak, so shoppers need to protect themselves, particularly from June until the end of August. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! 4 4
