Aldi shoppers have praised one of the supermarket's budget beauty buys, which they say is 'just like' a more expensive version from luxury brand The White Company.

Fans are eager to get their hands on Aldi's £2.49 Hotel Collection hand wash, with two different scents available. Posting on Instagram, the retailer said the "luxurious" soaps would help shoppers get their homes "ready for guests" as winter approaches.

One of the scents, Paradise, which has a fragrance of Bergamot, Amber and Vanilla, has been likened to The White Company's Seychelles Hand Wash, which it sells for £13 a bottle. Shopper @rachelkabambe, commented on the post: "I love the Paradise one. Smells just like the White Company version!"

On The White Company's website, the retailer said their "much-loved" Seychelles scent "combines notes of evocative bergamot, bright orange and fresh coconut, with a hint of green jasmine, warming amber and buttery vanilla". Aldi's Hotel Collection soap comes in the same size bottle but is on sale for £10.50 less than The White Company's.

Fans of the budget retailer were quick to share their opinions on the collection, describing the smell of the hand wash, which also comes in the scent White Petals, as "amazing". @gremilym posted: "This hand wash smells absolutely lovely", while @hasan.cindy wrote: "Smells amazing."

Others had their own requests. @charlotteg785 asked: "Can you make blackberry and bay into a handwash," while @carberry.bernie said: "Will you be doing the Bergmot Oud perfume this year please? Almost out - I love it. You had it in small gift baubles last year". Another fan wanted to see the return of the Paradise shower gel.

Aldi's Hotel Collection range also includes scented candles, wax melts and reed diffusers to keep your home smelling sweet, as well as hand and nail creams and antibacterial gels.
