The 79p Home Bargains item that makes a car smell like luxury scent worth over £100
Looking to get your car smelling like luxury for less? Then Home Bargains has an item worth purchasing - and it costs less than £1.
The budget chain is known for offering a selection of perfume 'dupes', with its Designer Fragrances range taking on the likes of Thierry Mugler, Dior and Lancôme, all without the luxury price-tag.
Available in an assortment of body mists, sprays and perfumes for as little as under £2 each, they have become a massive hit among beauty buffs who often take to TikTok to share their purchases.
Now they are officially available to buy as a car air freshener, allowing drivers to fill their car with three luxury inspired scents for less - Xalien, Tu Es Belle and Savor.
Costing just 79p each, these fresheners are said to last up to 28 days, providing a long-lasting scent that can be used to fill any space, not just vehicles, such as rooms in the home and office spaces.
For those who are unaware of Home Bargains' fragrances, Savore is a "warm, oriental, zesty" scent that has earned a fanbase for being a 'dupe' of the beloved Dior Sauvage EDT that retails anywhere between £75 to over £100, depending on the bottle size.
There's also the highly popular Xalien. Described as "feminine and floral", this particular Designer Fragrances scent from the retailer has become known for offering a scent very similar to Thierry Mugler's iconic Alien, worth anywhere between £69 and £127.
The third and final scent in the new air freshener collection is Tu Es Belle, described as "delicate and demure", which is said to be almost identical to Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle that can also be priced anywhere between £69 and £127.
Home Bargains recently sent its loyal fanbase wild for the new car fragrances in an Instagram post that was captioned: "Now your car can smell like your favourite Designer Fragrances, in store now!"
Multiple followers were quick to voice their enthusiasm, as one responded: "I absolutely love these."
Another fan added: "These smell divine."

Someone who couldn't wait to find them wrote: "I need these in my life."
While bargain hunters were certainly keen to get their hands on the new air freshener range, there were a few on Facebook that were left disappointed at their longevity, as one wrote: "Nice smell BUT ONLY FOR 3 DAYS!!"
It's not just luxury perfumes that the retailer has been known to offer a 'dupe' for, as it has also branched out into a selection of cosmetics, haircare and skincare that are said to mimic high end brands for less.
Just recently, we reported on the budget retailer's latest OVAU haircare line that were being compared to the celebrity-backed brand OUAI on TikTok. The line boasts a shampoo, conditioner and a hair mask all priced at £1.49, while the major brand would set shoppers back £28 each.
Home Bargains shoppers can check their local store for the new Designer Fragrances car air fresheners that cost 79p.

'Amazing' Sony headphones shoppers are calling 'best ever' cut by 45% to under £100
The Sony ULT WEAR headphones are now £99 on Amazon, down from £179, with deep bass, noise cancelling, and 30-hour battery life Whether commuting, working from home, or winding down with music, a good pair of headphones can transform the experience. With the right combination of sound quality, comfort, and smart features, some models stand out, especially when there's a significant discount involved. Sony's high-performance over-ear headphones have received a major discount, with many reviewers describing them as 'amazing' and even calling them the 'best ever'. The Sony ULT WEAR Over Ear Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones are now available on Amazon for £99, down from their original retail price of £179, a saving of 45%. Finished in black, the headphones offer a premium listening experience packed with features including deep bass, advanced noise cancellation, and up to 30 hours of battery life. The headphones are powered by Sony's Integrated Processor V1 and 40mm driver units, designed to deliver what the company calls 'ULT POWER SOUND'. Users can adjust the bass through a dedicated button, which activates two sound modes: Deep Bass for extra low-end punch and Attack Bass for added energy. The result is a powerful, customisable sound profile particularly suited to bass lovers. Noise cancelling is handled by Sony's adaptive technology, with an ambient sound mode available for those who prefer to stay aware of their surroundings. For calls, the headphones use beam-forming microphones and precise voice pickup technology to ensure clear audio, even in noisy environments. Other features include multi-point Bluetooth pairing, support for Google Assistant and Alexa, and quick charging, with 1.5 hours of playback from just a three-minute top-up. The headphones are compatible with iOS and Android and come with a compact carry case. For those who want alternatives, Sennheiser's ACCENTUM Plus Wireless Headphones are currently £139, down from £199.99, while Soundcore's Space One model is £62.99 and offers adaptive noise cancelling and 40-hour battery life. But if it's Sony's rich bass, smart design, and strong feature set you're after, this deal on the ULT WEAR headphones is hard to ignore. With a current rating of 4.5 stars from more than 1,900 reviews, the Sony ULT WEAR has received widespread praise for its sound quality, comfort, and build. One reviewer wrote: 'Amazing headset… the bass is huge… They look and feel good and sound amazing, the best overhead earphones I've probably ever had.' Another said: 'Great sound… great battery life… another Sony winner.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Others praised the headset's premium feel, with one review stating: 'Extremely high value for money. The build quality is absolutely amazing and they come with so many features. Noise cancelling is absolutely fantastic.' However, a few users expressed concerns. One reviewer reported a crack forming on the side of the headphones after six months of regular use, suggesting they may not be the best choice for gym wear. Another wrote: 'Too much bass and not enough soundstage. Good noise cancelling and comfort, but not great for hearing background instruments.' The Sony ULT WEAR is currently available for £99 on Amazon, reduced from £179.

900 year old carved stone head found on Scottish island in 'find of a lifetime'
The artefact is now being preserved along with other finds from the dig and will be cleaned and eventually put on public display An archaeology student has uncovered what could be a 900-year-old carved sandstone head on the Orkney island of Rousay, in what experts are calling a 'find of a lifetime'. Katie Joss, an undergraduate from the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Archaeology Institute, made the remarkable discovery at Skaill Farm during an excavation of a large wall foundation. As she removed a slab, the intricately carved head tumbled into her hands. 'It was quite a shock,' Joss told the BBC. 'We were removing a slab when the head came rolling out at us and as we turned it around we saw a face looking back at us. It was really exciting.' The object is believed to be crafted from rich red sandstone, complete with yellow inclusions, and is thought to have originated from the island of Eday. According to archaeologists, the stone appears similar to other material used in the nearby St Mary's old parish church. Dr Sarah Jane Gibbon, co-director of the Skaill Farm excavation and part of the UHI Archaeology Institute, expressed her surprise at the detail and craftsmanship of the carving. 'This is such an exciting find,' she said. 'Over the years excavating at Skaill and The Wirk, the nearby hall tower, we have found several interesting moulded pieces of red sandstone but nothing like this!' She described the head as being carved to be viewed from the front at a slight angle, allowing the viewer to appreciate the finely detailed locks of hair on the top of the head. 'The eyes appear closed as there is nothing to indicate pupils,' she said. 'The slight smile and asymmetric eyebrows express real character.' Although the head is largely intact, its nose is broken off. Dr Gibbon said it remains unclear whether the damage was intentional. 'Could this have been done deliberately as an act of iconoclasm or was this accidental?' she wondered. 'It's odd that no other part of the head is damaged.' The style of the eyes has been loosely compared to early phases of the stonework found in St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, though Gibbon noted she 'could find no comparison for the serene expression' captured in the carving.

The artefact is now being preserved along with other finds from the dig and will be cleaned and eventually put on public display. The Skaill excavation is now in its tenth year and is located directly over what was once a prominent Norse settlement. The name Skaill comes from the Old Norse word 'skáli', meaning 'hall', and the site is believed to have belonged to the powerful 12th-century Viking chieftain, Sigurd of Westness. The discovery adds to a growing collection of artefacts linked to the Norse occupation of Rousay and may offer further insights into life and artistry in medieval Orkney.

These Aussie snacks have proven popular with UK shoppers TAKE THE BISCUIT TAKE THE BISCUIT Beloved Aussie chocolate biscuits on shelves at Home Bargains for just £1.99 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) POPULAR Aussie chocolate biscuits are on shelves at Home Bargains for £1.99. Tim Tams - widely regarded as Australia's favourite chocolate treat - are being sold at a bargain price by the discount chain. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Tim Tam biscuits are on sale at Home Bargains Credit: Facebook/Extreme Couponing and B 3 Tim Tam Caramel is also available Credit: Facebook/Extreme Couponing and B A shopper took to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to share photos of their Tim Tam find. Tim Tams are known for their crisp biscuit layers, smooth chocolate coating and creamy chocolate filling. The brand was first introduced by Australian company Arnott's Biscuits in 1964. Ian Norris, the inventor of the biscuit, discovered the Penguin during a trip to Britain and set out to 'make a better one', according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Reactions from UK shoppers have been mixed. One reviewer on Tesco's website called them "basically a penguin biscuit with cheap strange tasting chocolate". While another wrote: "Far better than a penguin. Hurrah for the new trade agreement with Australia." Tesco is selling a 163g pack of Tim Tam Original Chocolatey Biscuit Bars for £2.50. Sainsbury's and Ocado have matched the price, while Waitrose is offering it slightly cheaper at £2.00. Meanwhile, Lidl is stocking Tim Tam Original for £1.85 in a limited-time offer, as spotted by shoppers in a supermarket deals Facebook group. Daily Money News The biscuits first launched in the UK last year at Waitrose and Ocado, with three classic flavours: Original, Dark and Chewy Caramel. A new version of Tim Tams - Tim Tam Extra Chocolaty - recently landed exclusively at Waitrose. Talyah Falabella, Tim Tam's International Marketing Manager, said: "For over 60 years, Tim Tam has been Australia's favourite chocolaty biscuit. "We're excited to bring another irresistible addition to the UK, offering the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers." This isn't the first time Australian snacks have proven a hit with UK shoppers. Last year, Cadbury's Aussie selection boxes, featuring items like Scorched Peanut Bars, Caramilk Twirls and Butterscotch Snickers, sold out quickly. And earlier this year, B&M also stocked Mocha Mudcake M&Ms - a flavour typically only available Down Under.
