Woolworths shoppers 'obsessed' with $9 dupe of $400 cult favourite: 'Exactly the same'
From Olivia Rodrigo to Kasey Musgraves, A-listers around the world love the rich, sexy, floral unisex fragrance of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540. However, with a $400-plus price tag, it's certainly not a perfume that everyone can afford—at least not without Afterpay or selling a limb. Luckily, in our world of dupes, where everyday brands are creating affordable versions of pretty much everything, the jasmine, saffron, and cedarwood notes of Baccarat Rouge 540 are no exception. In news that may come as a surprise to some, one of the most popular dupes currently on the market is available at none other than Woolies! That's right. Going nuts on social media recently is an amber and jasmine body wash by the brand Soma because it smells just like Baccarat Rouge 540, but without the price tag, and you can find it at your local supermarket. One fan of the bathroom products is Tayla Smith, who says that she was stopped four times in one week thanks to smelling so good. 'People love it!' Tayla tells Yahoo Lifestyle. 'Straight away, I thought of Baccarat Rouge 540! Perfect amount of woodiness and floral [notes]." RELATED: Mum's shock over discovery in $8 Woolworths product: 'Am I naive?' Major food product shortage in Coles, Woolworths, Aldi after recipe goes viral: 'I get the hype' Expat's Coles and Woolworths discovery that's making Aussies 'spend more' Woolworths customers stocking up on bath products The packaging and quality of the product also ticks boxes, the Sunshine Coast mum of two tells us. 'Not only is the packaging simple and beautiful to be displayed in the bathroom, unlike some eyesores you see for sale at the supermarket. It's nice and light, lathers well.' But the greatest appeal of the body wash, according to Tayla, is the scent and price point. 'It leaves a beautiful scent that is enough to be noticed after rinsing, but not as strong as the perfume to give you a headache," she says. "My favourite thing about the product is the price point for under $20! It can make you feel bougie on a budget.' So captivated was Tayla by her Woolies find, that she posted about the product on her TikTok. 'It dead arse smells like Bacacrat Rouge…f**k the $500 perfume,' she says in the video that has now been viewed over 99 thousand times. 'I went and bought 2 bottles; I love it!!!' someone wrote in the comments section of Tayla's video. 'I went and got two! Omg I'm obsessed, smells exactly like BR', wrote another. "I bought it on a whim the other day because it was on sale, and I've been trying FOREVER to figure out what it smells like," someone else wrote "You nailed it!!! It's exactly the same." Bath products $9 on sale at Woolworths Another fan is 36-year-old, Chrystal Stampalija from Western Australia 'The first time I discovered this body wash was through TikTok, and then I couldn't run fast enough to Woolworths to go check it out,' she tells Yahoo Lifestyle. After using the product, the content creator shared the product on TikTok, with one follower commenting, 'these supermarkets are hardcore taking a stake in the beauty world.'

'My first impression was that it definitely reminded me of Baccarat Rouge, which I'm a huge fan of, and with it being on sale for $9, I had to grab it.' Chrystal continues that, in addition to the fragrance, the product has a huge range of other benefits. 'First of all, I love how accessible it is," she says. "Not only does it smell good, but it also lathers so well in the shower and makes me feel so clean and fresh."

Kacey Musgraves defends traditional country music, says it's not as easy as it seems
Kasey Musgraves knows that just because something has a simple sound doesn't mean it's easy to create. "There may be a misconception that country music is easy to replicate," the country singer told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview. "When you look at the bones of traditional country – the structure, the sounds, the subject matter – it's not easy to replicate." Explaining that while the genre "comes across as very simple, and the best country music is," it's "full of so many layers of heart and real life, real stories." "And there's a lot of restraint," she added. "Really good traditional country music, there's a lot of space for the lyrics, the story, for the heartbreak and the texture. I really appreciate that about that era of country music. It paints a picture, but it's subtle and it's simple." KASEY MUSGRAVES CURSES AT FAN WHO 'KIND OF RUINED' CONCERT AFTER GRABBING HER DURING TAMPA SHOW And while some are celebrating Musgraves' "return" to the genre, the singer insists she "never left." The 36-year-old is now back with her first label, Lost Highway Records, which once represented country legends like Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett before it folded in 2012. The label recently relaunched, and Musgraves was the first to sign on. "Really good traditional country music, there's a lot of space for the lyrics, the story, for the heartbreak and the texture. I really appreciate that about that era of country music. It paints a picture, but it's subtle and it's simple." — Kasey Musgraves "While some might think of it as a 'return,' I want to make it super clear that I never left," the "Deeper Well" singer said. "It's always been a home base, and it's truly where I'm sonically the most happy. But since the beginning, I've always had an exploratory foot out the door a little bit, allowing myself to infuse all these other genres that speak to me." John Janick, chairman and CEO of Interscope Capitol and IGA, said Musgraves is a perfect fit for Lost Highway Records. "Lost Highway carved out a special place in the remarkable musical legacy of Nashville," he shared in a statement to Holler, a country music magazine.. "It was a left-of-center label with one-of-a-kind artists who, at their core, were great songwriters and moved culture. With this new chapter in Lost Highway's history, we are devoted to empowering the next generation of trailblazers, both artists and executives". He added, "Kacey exemplifies the kind of culture-shifting, left-of-center artists that Lost Highway has always been known for. Given the close relationship she's had with both Lost Highway and Interscope, it seemed only natural for her to be the first artist signed in this new chapter." Musgraves also covered Hank Williams' 1949 song "Lost Highway" to mark rejoining the eponymous label. COUNTRY STAR KASEY MUSGRAVES' 'BRAVE' DOG SAVED HER FROM STEPPING ON A RATTLESNAKE "From the age of 7, 8 years old, I was singing all the country standards and classics: Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Hank Snow, Cindy Walker," she revealed during her interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "It's such a part of me, I can't escape even if I wanted to." The singer said, "It really feels good to wholeheartedly embrace that sound, because I'm always listening to that kind of thing." Indeed, her version of "Lost Highway" has a twang that hearkens back to the earlier days of country music. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "I wanted to bring it back to life," she explained of the song, which was originally recorded in 1949. "When I was in the studio, I looked into the genesis of the song, and I was taken aback to find it has real ties to where I'm from. Hank Williams [recorded] the version we know and love, but the songwriter is Leon Payne." She added, "The story goes he was attempting to hitchhike from California to Alba, Texas. His mother was sick, and he was trying to get to her. I almost fell out of my chair – Alba is the next town over to the teeny, tiny town I'm from, Golden. Alba has no more than 500 people; I've never heard it referenced anywhere in pop culture. This song is full-circle for me, in terms of where I started and where I am now, my label." Six years ago, Musgraves confirmed that getting her music on the radio isn't necessarily her barometer of a successful song. "To me, radio isn't necessarily the mark of what makes good music," she said at the Grammys in 2019. "That's not what I had in mind when I was making this album," she continued about "Golden Hour," which won the album of the year award at the time. "It's been really amazing and incredible to see it do some really wild, gratifying, unbelievable things – going further than I ever thought that it could. I'm just really thankful. I think streaming was a big part of it... My publicist for working his a-- off. My band and my road family working very hard. "And ultimately, I feel like it just lets me know that it doesn't really matter where someone hears your music, it's if they connect or not," Musgraves concluded. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
