00:00I wanted to talk to you today about perfumes because Aldi have brought out a
00:10brand new range of dupes of very famous and very expensive well-known fragrances
00:16and just so happens that I'm into my fragrances so I went down to a local
00:23Aldi now this one I want to show you La Cura Classic Italia and it's meant to
00:31be a dupe of Victoria Beckham's Portofino that retails at £175
00:39this £6.99 and it's got the characteristic kind of bottle there the
00:48colours are right and this was actually or sorry the real version Portofino was
00:55on my kind of like want list so when I saw it all over social media all over
00:59tik-tok I thought yes I want to actually see what that one's like and I will have
01:05a little smell of it yeah it's it's actually quite a I would say it's quite
01:12a masculine flavor scent and what's disappointing there is that that spray
01:20dispense a bit looks really cheap doesn't it but it is cheap it's £6.99
01:25so what do we expect and but I think it's got like a quite a sultry masculine
01:34tobaccoy kind of flavor sorry scent keep getting that wrong but it does last it
01:42does seem to stand the test of time this one and it's it's an unusual scent that
01:49I quite like and I've got to say for £6.99 if you can get it it comes in this
01:54box this box had been ripped open already it was the last one that they
01:58had in the Aldi that I went to and worth £6.99 I think it looks quite smart it's
02:03it's an interesting sultry and deep tobacco we kind of flavor so go for that
02:11now the one that I'm more interested in telling you about was marked up
02:18interestingly there you go so look looks as a man's fragrance it's not and I'll
02:26tell you why it's not because I've got the real one so it's based
02:32solar looks is based on Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford now what's the price difference
02:39you'll be absolutely staggered five pounds for 50 mils this recommended
02:46retail price £222 so if this is anything like that it's got to be a
02:55bargain right well the other day I put a spray of this on that hand and a spray
03:03of this on that hand because I wanted to actually be able to tell you whether
03:08it's a true likeness or not with this one I actually can't tell you I can tell
03:13you it's decent it's nice it's well worth the money but I can't tell you
03:17whether it actually smells like Victoria Beckham's fragrance this one I can so
03:21does it yes it does when I first sprayed the Aldi version on my hand I was
03:28disappointed and I was disappointed because I thought why have I been
03:32spending all that money on a proper Tom Ford when I could have spent a fraction
03:36on a dupe well I've got to tell you this proper version smells deeper it smells
03:43stronger than this one but the initial smell is very very very similar but
03:51here's where we go wrong after about 15 minutes you can barely smell this one at
03:58all this one keeps on going and going and going and going and it's the same
04:02depth it's the same smell it remains on your clothes if you put them on the next
04:08morning this one it would last 15 minutes and then it will go to a kind of
04:14a sweet kind of smell but you know it's change it changes into it loses the
04:21coconutty it loses that any depth it had and it just becomes a sickly sweet smell
04:28this one retains its signature its profile for hours and hours and hours so
04:36yes it's a lot of money but they're not the same they may initially have that
04:40similar smell but let's be honest fiver 222 pounds if you're just gonna have to
04:50keep reapplying this then just keep reapplying it and it's a lovely summer
04:56fragrance again it's got that really nasty transparent plastic top but you
05:00can see the the shapes especially when I've got the top on it the squareness
05:07you can see where they're going with that but yeah it's summary it's for
05:13apparently it's one of Molly Mae's favorites I didn't get it because of
05:16Molly Mae she didn't even come out with it when I got it and but it's evocative
05:22of summer holiday sun cream coconut I'm just looking at here it's a it's a
05:27floral scent sultry yeah it's not sickly sweet it's a bit of tonka bean
05:34in that it's warm it's solar so a summer it's well worth the fiber go and get it
