A comparison of Sol de Janeiro dupes from Lidl and Home Bargains, exploring their scent, packaging, and overall quality.
Few things have burst onto the shopping scene like Sol de Janeiro. Largely thanks to trending TikTok videos, it's fast become the collection that skincare and scent lovers want to get their hands on, especially teenage girls. So it's not surprising that, given its popularity, a number of retailers have brought out their own versions of the products. Home Bargains and Lidl are among those to do just that, bringing out 'perfume mist' that looks remarkably similar to the big brand.
I picked up a couple of bottles from each place to see how they compare. At Lidl the sprays have different numbers, just like the Sol bottles, and cost £3.99 for 250ml. At Home Bargains, the range is called Glow and there are different scents available, costing £2.99 for the same 250ml size. They're all packaged quite well and with the colour of the liquids and clear bottles, it's no secret who they're trying to emulate. Lidl's in particular look most like the real thing with their almost identical labels and separate spray lids inside larger white bottle lids. It was these ones I sampled first. While initially I thought the scents - Ipanema 72 and Corcovado 78 - weren't too bad, they became worse as time went on. I instantly regretted spraying them on my clothes, one on each arm, as the smell was simply too strong and was giving me a headache. The 72 one in particular, described as pistachio and salted caramel, was particularly rank. So much so that I couldn't wait to get changed to rid myself of it. After that experience, I wasn't holding out much hope for the Home Bargains versions. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. The vanilla, almond and salted caramel isn't too dissimilar from the popular Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist. But the pink lychee and crystal waters one stood out the most for being an almost identical version of the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mis
