The 100ml pots come in in three scents - Lime, Pomegranate Noir and Lime, Basil and Mandarin - and are very similar in appearance to those sold by Jo Malone, which cost a whopping £37.50 each for the same size.

There's no doubt that they've been popular with shoppers, with many heading to their local store yesterday to nab one.

But some eBay sellers have been chancing their arm by listing the popular product as "sold out", in bid to flog them for up to £12.

The diffusers come just a few months after Aldi launched a range of Jo Malone inspired candles.

The candles - which Aldi claims smell exactly like posh ones from Jo Malone - were snapped up by shoppers and flogged on eBay for seven times their value.

But they are now also back on shelves as a core product due to their popularity.

Last week it launched a new Great British Bake Off inspired baking range, including a stand mixer that looks like a Kitchen Aid but is six times cheaper.

They also launched imitation Yankee Candle for £1.99 each, making them £7 cheaper than the official ones.
