But if you're a fan of the fragrance, Jo has the hack for you - and it will only set you back a quid.

She to share "the best washing hack I've found ever", as she began: Listen, if you love the smell of Creed clothes, but you just can't afford to buy it because it's so expensive, this is the best Creed smelling hack I have ever come across in my life."

Jo went on to say that she wasn't aware using fabric conditioner can make the washing machine "bunged up, claggy and horrid".

So instead of using fabric conditioner, Jo sticks a bit of Fabulosa disinfectant in her washing machine.

She buys a pack of 12 bottles of the cleverly-named Fabventus on Amazon for £11.99, and then adds a capful where she would usually put her fabric conditioner when she does a wash.

"When your clothes come out of the wash, you literally smell like you doused in Aventus Creed," she gushed.

"When you open it, straight away, I'm not joking, it smells like Creed. It infects your clothes, but it makes them smell amazing.

"And if you put it in your bedsheets, oh my God, your whole bedroom smells of Aventus Creed."

Jo urged people to try the hack, but warned them not to sell out the disinfectant, as she buys it in bulk.

"Fabulosa disinfectant, add it to your wash, smell like Creed!" she concluded.
