It's said to be a budget dupe for the luxury £35 Gisou version.
The bargain beauty buy first launched last year and caused a frenzy among TikTokers and glam girls alike, thanks to its near-identical formula and boujee scent, all without the hefty price tag.
Make-up lover and hair guru Lysha Lou, who posts under @lysha_lou, was among the first to rave about the hair-smoothing potion when it debuted.
Lysha shared her honest thoughts after giving the oil a whirl following a holiday.
She said the product "smells insane".
Lysha added: 'It gets rid of any flyaways. It's infused with honey extract and wow, that is phenomenal. That's really, really nice.'
And she's not alone. Fans online have flooded the comments desperate to get their hands on a bottle.
One wrote: 'Love a good excuse to go down the Specialbuys aisle. '
Another chimed in: 'Looks great.'
The oil is designed to suit all hair types, whether you've got thick curls, fine strands, or wear extensions.
All upcoming 'Aldi Finds' in the middle aisle next week – including portable chargers, power toothbrushes & dryer balls
According to Aldi, the nourishing formula smooths, softens and adds shine and the honey infusion promises to leave your locks smelling lush too.
While the Gisou version will set you back £35, Aldi 's Lacura alternative costs just £4.99, meaning you'll save a jaw-dropping £30.01 without scrimping on results.
But be warned, this is in-store only and part of Aldi's cult-favourite Specialbuys range, so once it's gone, it's gone.
You'll have to head down to your local branch on launch day if you want a chance to snag one.
Given the hype last year, beauty fans are already predicting a sell-out, so set your alarms and clear some space on your shelf.
That's not the only bargain beauty buy hitting shelves this week.
The sell-out LED Face Mask is back and available for just £12.99.
The mask features seven different light settings and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, redness and inflammation and is the perfect tool to deliver a spa-worthy facial at home, for less.
What's more, they also have a handy LED indicator, this easy-to-use beauty hack is the secret to a lifted, bright-eyed look.
The LED Mirror with Make-Up Brush Set (£5.99) is another one you won't want to miss, it includes two large kabuki brushes, three precise brushes and a rotatable touch sensor mirror.
And or those looking to elevate their everyday hairstyle, the sell-out Dual Hair Styler is back for just £16.99.

Coronation Street favourite will make a sensational return to the show as new Rovers Return landlord... as ITV strike back after EastEnders reinstated Kat Slater and Alfie Moon at the Queen Vic
Coronation Street bosses have taken action to ensure the show's infamous pub isn't outshone by EastEnders' reinstatement of Kat and Alfie Moon at the Vic. In a bid to ensure that soap fans' eyes are also on the Rovers Return, they have brought back Catherine Tyldesley, 41, (AKA Eva Price) as the pub's new sexy landlady. She will not be alone in catering to the drinking needs of Weatherfield and will be joined by Aaron McCusker, 46, who will play her new husband. An insider told The Sun: 'Corrie bosses were never going to take EastEnders ' shrewd decision to reinstate Kat and Alfie at the Vic lying down. 'So they took their time looking for the perfect actor to play her husband to Eva as she makes her return to Corrie as the new boss of the Rovers. 'When Aaron walked in, and once paired with Catherine, bosses knew they had the perfect partnership to run the soap's iconic pub.' Describing the pair's chemistry as 'electric', the insider noted that Aaron will bring his Irish charm to the pub as the pair put on a 'happy and loved-up' display. However, despite having all the friendliness associated with the Irish, the insider stressed that Aaron is not a character to be messed with. They added: 'It's the start of an exciting new chapter in the pub's history.' In case your memory needs refreshing, Cath left the show back in 2018 to pursue other acting opportunities and bosses have reportedly been trying to convince her to return for years. While Aaron is a newbie to the cobbles, fans might recognise him from the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, where he played Freddie Mercury's partner, Jim Hutton. The actor also made a name for himself in Shameless as Jamie Maguire. News of the latest change on the cobblestones comes after it was announced that the show had been pulling in record viewers after making one recent change. The change took place in October 2024, when the long-running show became available to view on ITVX from 7am on the day of broadcast. Describing the pair's chemistry as 'electric', the insider noted that Aaron will bring his Irish charm to the pub as the pair put on a 'happy and loved-up' display This meant that soap fans could either chose to tune in early or watch their favourite soaps at a time that better suits them. The decision to make the change came after BBC soap East Enders made a similar switch to iPlayer a few years ago. Following the change, both Corrie and Emmerdale, which also made the switch, have enjoyed a record 124 million streams in 2025's first quarter. This meant that there have been an impressive one billion streams on ITVX so far this year. To put the change into context, compared to this time last year, soap viewing has increased by 35 percent. ITV's Managing Director of Media and Entertainment Kevin Lygo said: 'We have totally transformed our streaming offer with ITVX over the past couple of years. 'All our teams internally, alongside the best producers in the business, have helped deliver these brilliant numbers, by producing, promoting and delivering this fantastic content to audiences to stream.'

Pamela Anderson breaks silence on Meghan Markle's 'rip off' show
Pamela Anderson has finally spoken out on viral claims Meghan Markle 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series , With Love, Meghan. Fans of the Baywatch bombshell, 58, were left incensed when the former working Royal, 44, debuted her latest TV venture - which bore eerie similarities to Pamela's Cooking With Love, which premiered earlier this year on Prime Video. The Baywatch star Anderson opened up on Sunday's Watch What Happens Live! - with host Andy Cohen asking her: 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love?' Anderson, who was appearing alongside new love and co-star Liam Neeson responded: 'One. I didn't - I didn't really look, but I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows' adding that Markle 'is just doing her thing.' The drama erupted when Prince Harry 's wife gave People magazine some of her top domestic tips ahead of the release of With Love, Meghan, in March. These included how to 'elevate' a normal dinner – such as after ordering a takeaway, for example. Citing Chinese as a favorite delivery option, Markle told the US magazine: 'I like being able to do a hybrid, but even when I get a takeout I will try to plate it beautifully.' And discussing her new trademark As Ever – after she failed to secure copyright branding for her original name, American Riviera Orchard – she insisted: 'It's a learning curve. 'I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also be forgiving with myself through that.' The two former TV stars live more than a thousand miles apart, yet both were smiling and giggling in brightly lit country kitchens, filming aspirational cooking with photogenic friends and famous celebrities. Both are seen carrying wicker baskets of fruit and vegetables picked from their gardens, dancing with joy, and gleefully high-fiving their celebrity guests. Both series are even the same length: eight episodes. When Meghan's first episode was shown, it prompted withering complaints that she had copied Pamela's winning formula. 'So similar it's freaky,' said one reviewer, while others branded Meghan's series 'inauthentic' and 'copycat'. More charitable observers might put this down to coincidence, as neither show seems to deviate from the wholesome template of many an aspirational cookery program. However, while Markle filmed her series last summer, with the first trailer making its debut in January, Anderson's was commissioned back in February 2023 by Canadian broadcaster Flavour Network. And its trailer has been available for all to see since last October. Last month it was claimed Markle and Prince Harry's hopes of a new Netflix deal are 'dead' after their two most recent shows flopped. Meghan's lifestyle show failed to break into Netflix 's top 300 programs for the first half of 2025 and was even thrashed by multiple seasons of Suits. A second season of With Love, Meghan, was announced by the Duchess herself as the first season came out in March this year as part of the couple's $100million deal with the streaming giant, which expires this year.

Duchess of Sussex birthday picture celebrates her ‘magic'
A new image of the Duchess of Sussex has been shared to mark her 44th birthday. The Duchess, pictured in black and white, can be seen smiling with a garden in the background. It was published on the Instagram account of her lifestyle business, As Ever, on Monday afternoon. The accompanying caption states: 'Celebrating the woman behind it all. 'She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! 'Happy Birthday to our founder.' Meghan's business, for which she has partnered with Netflix, was officially launched in April. Among the products for sale were raspberry jam, wildflower honey, shortbread biscuit mix and edible flower sprinkles. More recently, the Duchess has launched her own rosé wine. The launch was coupled with her lifestyle show on Netflix, titled With Love, Meghan, which features the Duchess promoting a domestic idyll. Though widely panned by critics, the streaming giant has renewed it for a second season, which is being released this autumn.
