Luxe for less: M&S’s new Gardenia and Vanilla Fragrance dupe for Marc Jacobs scent

Marks and Spencer is captivating shoppers with their Gardenia and Vanilla Eau de Toilette, priced attractively at just £12.50. This scent serves as a cheaper alternative to the much-admired Marc Jacobs Daisy, which sells for £99 at Boots. Enthusiastic customers highlight the M&S fragrance for its rich blend of vanilla and sandalwood with vibrant top notes of gardenia and grapefruit, echoing the luxurious feel of Daisy but at a fraction of the price.

Customer Reviews:

• “Love the packaging, size, and value for money. Scent is beautiful and a clear dupe of Daisy by Marc Jacobs.”
• “Smells more expensive than it is. Have had lots of compliments.”
• “Smells incredible, really good dupe for Marc Jacob’s Daisy.”
• “It smells like the original Daisy by Marc Jacobs; it’s not exactly the same but very similar. This is great for everyday use as such a big bottle and a bargain! Sure it doesn’t last all day, but for the price, it doesn’t matter—just have another spray. I love the simplicity of the bottle; it’s nice to use, some brands are OTT with the bottle shape then it makes it awkward to use but this is brilliant, thanks M&S.”
