Aldi's first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork. By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices. As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi's popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious. The supermarket giant continued it's expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores. By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country. The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers. In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland. The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products. Aldi chiefs said: 'At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand. 'To date, we've invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers. 'As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.' Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.

Unique Fragrances Are In—And One Cult Scent Is Now Available in the U.S.
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Your name may not be Taylor Alison Swift, but you've gone through some eras, especially when it comes to scents. Let's recall your personal Fragrance Eras Tour: Your teenage years, puzzling over whether you wanted to smell 'clean' or 'fresh.' Then the 'School Dance Scents' era. Maybe you had a 'Sure, I'll Sample the Perfume in This Club Bathroom' era. Perhaps a CK One, Flowerbomb, Baccarat Rouge, or all-of-the-above era. And now? You have a chance to be in your most powerful scented era of all. It's never been easier, more exciting, or more thrilling to smell like nothing you've ever experienced before—and exactly what you've always wanted. 'Remember this time,' Inter Parfums, Inc. chairman, CEO, and cofounder Jean Madar boomed at me when I met him. As head of one of the biggest manufacturers and distributors of fragrances and cosmetics in the world, he was boisterous: Fragrance sales for the third quarter were at an all-time record. 'There's never been a moment like this,' he says he tells his employees, citing the past four years of growth. #Perfumetok confirms the huge surge of interest in scent, with the hashtag drawing billions of views. Funmi Monet, a fragrance and beauty content creator, describes its appeal: 'You don't have to be a certain size; you don't have to be Kendall Jenner, or even super-rich,' to put on a fragrance and feel more seen (or smelled). It's a particularly exciting time for indie brands, rare perfumes, or what I'm calling niche-niche perfumes. Franco Wright, cofounder of one of the biggest online retailers for this subcategory, describes it as 'true niche': 'artistic, independent-driven brands that are often less distributed and usually very creative and unique in their composition.' Think Byredo before it became a household name. Think of eclectic scents like the unapologetically lewd Sadonaso by Nasomatto, which smells like…well, accounts vary, but just look it up. Think of a perfume from a big house that you can only buy in certain parts of Europe and Asia that has Fragrantica in a tizzy (like Yves Saint Laurent Beauty's Babycat, which only just became available in the United States) or a specific vintage edition of a Jean Paul Gaultier scent that goes for hundreds on eBay. Think of small perfume brands that don't have to do any market testing and have to please no one but their creators—people like the visual artist Andrea Maack of Iceland, and Marissa Zappas of New York City. Zappas started her career as a receptionist at Givaudan, and now, with her legions of fans (including Kacey Musgraves), she could be the perfume laureate of downtown New York (as Tynan Sinks, a beauty writer and co-host of perfume podcast Smell Ya Later, put it, "How did we all start fucking talking about Marissa Zappas who we love?'). Her fragrances are often created for friends, like the astrologer Annabel Gat, the muse behind Annabel's Birthday Cake. Not quite Funfetti, the scent has notes of balloon, tuberose frosting, fresh-out-of-the-oven cake, and lemon sugar (with just a hint of Cabbage Patch Kids doll, according to one reviewer). Rooted in nostalgia, with inspirations like Swan Lake and Elizabeth Taylor, Zappas's creations touch on the current bow-bedecked nerve of girlhood. Zappas wants perfume to be different. She doesn't do any advertising, and not much social media, yet customers do 'tend to find me,' she says. 'There's so much potential in storytelling with perfume, because it's so abstract. I wanted to explore the possibilities and create perfumes that weren't necessarily just reiterations. I really love old Guerlain perfumes, and my goal is to reach people who might originally have reached for [it]. I certainly have worn commercial perfumes, and found comfort in the fact that my best friend was also wearing it. This is part of why we wear perfume—to share in these moments. But at the same time, I think we live in an increasingly individualist society, and everybody wants to have the most unique, the most special, the most different smell.' Wanting to smell different is becoming an increasingly ardent form of self-expression, the ultimate invisible and rare accessory. 'Consumers have gone from one signature fragrance, to a collection,' says Linda Levy, President of the Fragrance Foundation. Tom Bloom, marketing and relationships manager for Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, which has collaborated on perfumes with Neil Gaiman, makes a parallel to the search for vintage. 'It's comparable with the rise of thrifting in terms of looking for special items that are perfect and have a story.' With non-mainstream perfumes, the inspiration behind them can often be more complex and unusual, combining smell with fiction as a point of difference. Jane Dashley, the blogger known as Sea of Shoes, is a fragrance collector and enthusiast who started a niche perfume site, Fragraphilia, with her husband Jeff, followed later by a companion podcast. She tells me about Stora Skuggan, a Swedish company whose perfume Thumbsucker spins the tale of a king becoming pregnant after mistakenly drinking a potion made by sages for the queen. Its notes include honey, cherry, and Himalayan Cedar Bitter Almond—a redolent take on a hangover. The bottles, with their exaggerated orb caps, look like they could eat Harry Styles's Pleasing. Non-mainstream perfumes can also give perfumers the chance to try more unusual notes. 'If you have a client who's willing to go all the way out there, you can really explore uncharted territory, and that's quite exciting,' says perfumer Frank Voelkl, the nose behind Le Labo's Santal 33 and many other once-niche scents. His creation, Mood Ring by Phlur, captured something new for me—the feeling of going into a Japanese grocery after school and ripping open a sleeve of Hi-Chew candies. Sometimes, all the experimenting can result in more unusual perfumes that take some time to appreciate and go beyond the general desire to smell good. Jeff Dashley tells me about a perfume called Ambilux by Marlou. 'I wouldn't wear it to go visit my mother. It's such an [initial] straight urinous blast. Sometimes there are things that challenge you. But you start to look past those type of things and see the elevated artistry behind it.' (It's still not a luncheon perfume, however, he confirms.) Even as everyone wants to smell different, there can be community in bonding over your favorites. When you become fluent in ambroxan and ethyl maltol and follow the creations of your favorite perfumers, you want to meet others who speak the same language. 'Among young women, niche perfume is becoming more and more an important type of social currency, a status symbol, and a great way to relate to other girls. People are genuinely making friends from this hobby,' Jane Dashley tells me. Because fragrance is so subjective, there aren't really any wrong answers, which helps safeguard against internet toxicity. Ultimately, niche-niche perfume isn't about anyone but you, the main character of your own story. 'Fragrance used to be about who you wanted to be,' says Tynan Sinks, cohost of the scent podcast Smell Ya Later. 'But now it's about who you are today, which might not be the same tomorrow.' A version of this story appears in the March 2024 issue of ELLE.

33 Chic Versions Of Everyday Products To Give Your Routine A Subtle Refresh
A set of transparent sticky notes reviewers love not just for the aesthetic, but because it makes it easier to leave notes in books and study guides without interrupting the ~flow~ of the text. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents.

Reviewers especially love these chic, understated glasses because they work well for red and white wines. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs.

A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price. A wildly impressive handled BrüMate tumbler designed with a completely leakproof straw lid that might be actual witchcraft, and ~BevGuard insulation~ that will keep drinks ice cold for over 24 hours. Finally, a ginormous emotional support tumbler that not only fits in your car's cup holder, but can get tossed into your bag worry-free! A pair of gorgeous kitchen shears that are as functional as they are stunning — reviewers love these all-purpose, super sharp blades for cutting everything from meat and fruit to opening packages and wrangling with complicated wrapping.

A vintage-inspired essential oil diffuser to waft calming scents through your space and add a subtle touch of ~quiet luxury~ by serving double time as decor. A sleek as heck wireless handheld vacuum reviewers *love* using for computers and desks, their car interiors, and little messes in the home. It has adjustable nozzles depending on what kind of surface you're working with, and also has the added benefit of looking like a chic accessory that TikTok Barbie would own. (Does she exist yet??? Because it's only a matter of time.) A unique tripod floor lamp that will draw the eye without stealing the show — the perfect solution to keep up a modern look without falling into that trap of "woof, everything suuuure does look boring in here." A slim-profile Bella VersaBrew 2-in-1 Coffee Maker designed to save you SOOOO much space — this can hold a coffee pot that brews up to 12 cups of coffee on days when you've got a crowded kitchen, or convert to a one-cup coffee maker that uses both grounds *and* K-cup pods on days when you're flying solo. It's basically two deeply functional (and sleek??) coffee makers in one. Oxo's Good Grips three-piece Pop container set so darn air tight that you'll want to give them all your favorite snacks *and* hot gossip, knowing nothing's getting through that airtight lock. Each of the containers also comes with a handy scoop that attaches to the bottom of the lid, making this an ideal option for baking supplies and loose snacks like cereal and nuts! A set of "Golden Glow" under-eye gels made with 24-karat gold collagen formulated to brighten, nourish, and soothe your under-eyes so you can get that sweet, sweet de-puffing relief (and look ~expensive~ while you're doing it). A vintage-inspired crystal candle warmer to add some timeless, cozy glam in your living room or bedroom without worrying about an open flame. A sophisticated, airtight ribbed storage canister you can use to elevate everything from coffee grounds to laundry beads to cotton balls — the sky is your very chic limit.

Bonus — this even comes with a waterproof case, making it even more handy for keeping track of important objects (and even more important, pets)!! A checkered dog couch cover protector so cute that you might just want one even if you don't have a single furry friend in sight?? I mean, if they're not going to pay rent, they might as well be chic decor enablers. A hybrid tissue box phone holder that's basically "GRWM" goals — you can prop this on your vanity to stream content, FaceTime, and even record yourself while you're getting your glam on. ✨ A set of chic pastel reusable air fryer liners so chic that they can double as serving dishes when you pluck them out of the basket. A sleek glass top Keurig pod organizer to fit discreetly under your coffee machine and give you easy access to pods full of those smushed up beans you love to guzzle so much. A cheerful fruit bowl for a pop of deeply functional color in your kitchen — this thing is secretly also a colander, so you can wash your fruit and leave 'em sitting pretty on the counter to dry. A set of restaurantworthy shallow pasta bowls to make you feel like you're genuinely ~plating~ all your meals like a professional — this is like a bowl and a plate had a very stylish, SUPER convenient baby for all your pasta and salad needs. A ~floating~ incense holder that isn't just designed for vibes — reviewers love this because it catches ashes and fallen incense sticks without making a big ole mess on the counter like other incense holders do. A lightweight quilted laptop sleeve to turn your work and travel aesthetic into a puffy cloud daydream. This little cloud isn't all looks and no game, though: it's waterproof, thanks to the exterior nylon, and features a fleece inside with a magnetic closure to keep your laptop safe and scratch-free. A crossbody iPhone wallet that's a *much* more cost-effective solution than the $98 Bandolier version, with all the same cuteness and functionality.

Keep Your Arm And A Leg And Buy These 35 Affordable Alternatives Instead
A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle reviewers love for its intoxicating and long-lasting smell (think: Le Labo's Santal 33). It has an impressive throw, meaning you can actually fill your home with its calming jasmine, oud, and sandalwood scent instead of having to stick your nose right up to the flame. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks offering a Laneige-like experience for just a fraction of the price. The berry extract and vitamin C work to moisturize lips as you go to bed, proving that beauty sleep is a real thing. Glue-on foam ceiling tiles providing a quick, fancy refresh to your kitchen or living room. Gotta love an easy way to add a "wow" factor without having to splurge on carpentry or remodeling. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash offering an affordable solution to your dependence on that beloved (but pricey) fragrance. Thanks to the notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber, shower time has never smelled better. A set of glittery gel nail polishes to help you master the coveted cat eye look. You can make your nails look like gemstones or faraway galaxies with the right technique, all without dropping $100 at the salon! A pair of stylish teardrop earrings similar to the popular Bottega Veneta ones, but for a fraction of the price. They're lightweight and gold-plated, meaning that even those with sensitive ears can enjoy them. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume that'll smell familiar to any fans of YSL's spendy Black Opium scent. If you're not in the know, it has a dedicated following thanks to its unique blend of mandarin, vanilla, pink pepper, jasmine, and cedarwood. Just like its pricier cousin, this fragrance has staying power, so expect some "you smell fancy" comments throughout the day. A baroque-inspired mirror for anyone who has been eyeing the gorgeous Anthropologie mirrors but can't quite rationalize the hefty price tag. This piece of decor is pretty similar and comes at a fraction of the cost. A super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too. And high-waisted leggings that have also been compared to Lululemon A LOT, like over-600-reviewers lot. They're buttery soft, pass the squat test, and have the perfect stretch-to-hug ratio. A 12-pack of soft microfiber makeup removing towels you can score at a major steal: less than $1 per cloth. They work just as well as the famous Makeup Eraser, but 20 TIMES less expensive. A Bodum kettle with the same aesthetic sensibilities as the pricey Fellow Stagg Gooseneck Kettle but at a fraction of the price. While the Bodum doesn't have to-the-degree temperature control or regulation, it still has a large capacity, precise spout, and rapid boil ability (around two minutes!). An 18-karat gold-plated cherry keychain because dropping almost $100 on the one from Coach is honestly kind of ridiculous. Reviewers say this one is almost identical! E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say works as a very good, affordable replacement for Clinique's "Black Honey," the $25 "universal shade" that has a Shakira-level of fame and adoration. This $7 alternative is nonsticky, moisturizes with vitamin E, and melts onto your lips like buttah. Also from E.l.f., their Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. No one likes having to scrub their eyes raw trying to get off waterproof makeup. :( A cold brew coffee maker that lets you make your java at night (when you're actually awake), so all you have to do is stumble to the fridge in the morning. Just pour coffee grounds (or tea leaves!) into the pitcher and let them steep overnight, and you'll forget aaalll about paying $8 at your local coffee shop. A trendy bamboo-style frame you might have thought came from Framebridge or Aerin, but nope! Amazon. This affordable frame will help you score beach house or tiki vibes even if you're in a 1BR in a landlocked state. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals not only supremely comfortable but also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best. Foam sponges similar to the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster to help you expertly clean blinds, glass, baseboards, vents, railings, and more. The ridged U-shape helps it get into tight corners and scrub away dirt that's been caked on for so long, it was around for the Peanut Butter Jelly Time song. A midi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal. A set of wrist and ankle weights to add some resistance to your workout or brisk walk around the neighborhood. They're arguably just as cute as Bala Bangles, but without the eye-watering price tag. A set of wildly popular "hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz. Reviewers rave that these are the perfect balance of fluffy and firm, meaning you can prop yourself up for a good in-bed TV binge. Plus, they're breathable and cooling, so you won't overheat while wrapped in all those blankets. And a set of extra soft cooling "hotel" bedsheets with so many 5-star reviews (almost 250,000!) you'd think they could only be found in a 5-star hotel. No promises, but some people are saying they never want to get out of bed. A Skin1004 Zombie Pack to bring your skin back to life in a good, non-horror movie way. The mask tightens as it dries, creating a fun undead look (just like the more expensive Hanacure). When you wash it off, you might be pleasantly surprised to see bouncier, more hydrated skin. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better. And a scoop-neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs. A Renpho percussion massager reviewers say offers just as much relief as the $300 TheraGun. There are five speeds and five different head attachments, so you can target different muscle groups. Sore muscles and deep knots don't stand a chance against this massager. A Revlon hot air brush for when you wanna look like you have an in-home stylist at your beck and call. It'll detangle and blow out all types of hair (including type 4 curls and coils) in what feels like the blink of an eye. Glossy, effortless waves are just a few brushes away! An Overmont cast-iron Dutch oven if you love the charm and function of Le Creuset, but not the price. This durable pot can still provide for all your stewing, boiling, roasting, and frying needs: It's oven safe up to 500 degrees F, cooks evenly, and cleans up like a dream. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes just as well as the $33 Becca version. The lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed to blend seamlessly — check the drastic difference in the review photo! A classic bubbly paperclip chain that could easily be mistaken for a Tiffany HardWear necklace. The 14-karat gold-plated piece is so convincing, your friends might start expecting you to pick up the check at dinner. A set of satin pillowcases offering the same level of luxury as Slip and Blissy, but for way less. Like silk, satin pillowcases stay cool, prevent hair breakage, tangles, and frizz, and absorb less moisture from your skin overnight. Beauty sleep is a thing! Peep toe mules that'll support you through brunches, weddings, and baby showers, all without foot pain or a scary bill from Gucci. Reviewers say the chunky heel allows for all-day wear. A set of square stemmed wineglasses pretty darn close to the beloved spendy Crate & Barrel version, but with the added bonus of being a little more durable, according to reviewers. Clumsy people and gesticulators rejoice! A set of lovely silk tulips that look like the real deal but, unlike live flowers, can stick around for many years to come. Keeping a regular rotation of fresh flowers can be pricey! Spritz 'em with a little perfume and guests won't even be able to tell they're imposters.
