ALDI shoppers have been rushing to buy a £7 dupe for an iconic designer perfume that costs £295.

A 100ml bottle of Creed Aventus for men costs a whopping £295 on the official website, while the women's scent costs £260 for just 75ml.
It means that whether you go for Her Reign or His Reign - you're saving over £250.
According to Aldi, Her Reign has strong notes of floral rose and sandalwood.
While, His Reign has top notes of blackcurrant, apple and bergamot.
Both are described as bold and elegant fragrances that ";keep you smelling fresh morning and night".
Aldi's fragrances will be available in stores only from July 20 or 23, depending on the store.
Both scents are Aldi's coveted Specialbuys which means they won't be around forever and are only available in store.
Each store will have its own stock of the scents and these special items tend to sell-out pretty quickly.
It's always worth phoning ahead to your local store to check how many they have available.
You can find your nearest Aldi store using the tool locator on the website.
It's always worth having a sniff first to make sure you like the smell before purchasing.
As always, make sure to have a shop around before you commit to a purchase to make sure you're always getting the best deal.
Shoppers have previously described M&S' Cool Vetiver, £9, a dupe for the Creed Aventus too.
