HOME Bargains shoppers are going wild for a perfume dupe that costs £44 less than the iconic original.

Fragrance fans have been picking up the £2 perfume that they say smells "exactly" the same as Jean Paul Gaultier.

One savvy shopper who picked up the bargain scent shared a post to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group.

Alongside a picture of the bottle, she said: "£1.99 from Home Bargains and smells exactly like Jean Paul Gaultier."

Other shoppers were quick to comment on the post and give their thoughts on the designer dupe.

One person said: "They are all really good. My sons love them".
