ALDI is known for its incredible dupes.
And it seems like the high street store has done it again – with a budget fragrance that’s mightily similar to a Victoria Beckham scent.
Jo was among those to get her hands on the £6.99 version of Posh’s £170 perfume – Portofino ’97 Eau de Parfum – and urged people to “run” to Aldi to pick up one for themselves.
She held up a box of the Classic Italia fragrance as she said in a video on her TikTok page: “When I found out that the latest Aldi drop, they were actually doing these perfumes, I ran.
“You cannot have enough of this perfume on you. It is exquisite. It is £6.99.
“You need to get this!”
Jo pointed out that even the bottle looks expensive and “stunning”, and said she wanted to see if any of her work colleagues commented on the scent.
“I’m going to go into work today and I’m going to see if people notice that I am wearing a very high-end fragrance, also known as Lacura Classic Italia!
“Get yourself down to Aldi. This is amazing.”
“Perfume drop in @Aldi UK right now!!! Pick up these fragrances quick!” Jo captioned her video.
“I find the Aldi perfume lasts five minutes,” one person wrote in the comments section.
To which Jo replied: “Not this one! It’s lasted all day.”

“I got that fragrance and get so many compliments on it.. lasts a couple of days too,” a third insisted.
“I love it – I’ve got three bottles!” someone else wrote.

“I think it’s really unusual and very distinctive,” Jo replied.
The top notes of Victoria’s Portofino fragrance are Calabrian bergamot and black pepper, with amber and incense middle notes and vetiver and patchouli at the base.
Speaking previously about what inspired the scent, the former Spice Girls star said: “When David and I first met, we kept our relationship under wraps.
“This was when I was in the Spice Girls, when we were enormously successful all around the world, and David was playing for Manchester United.
“In 1997, we decided to take a trip to Portofino.
“I remember the light, I remember how the hotel smelled and how exciting that time was.
“I remember it all like it was yesterday.”
