SHOPPERS are racing to Sainsbury's to pick up its latest home scent.
The supermarket has sent people into a frenzy over their tomato leaf homeware range.
Jess, a fan of the scent, took to social media to raise the flag and let everyone know about the new buy.
Sharing a video of the candle, Jess said: " Sainsbury's coming through with the LOEWE dupe."
Loewe, a designer brand most famously known for its Puzzle bag, are also master's in scents.
The Tomato Leaf candle has always been a favourite with fans but priced at £88, it's pretty expensive for a candle.
That's why shoppers are loving Sainsbury's version as the scent is hard to find on the high street.
And the best part is that it costs just £12 - giving you a saving of £76.
Sainsbury's bosses say: "Bring home aromatic freshness with this candle.
"Featuring green notes of mint and vetiver blended with herbaceous tomato leaf, tangy grapefruit and sweet fig.
"Comes poured in a glass holder with lid."
The stunning packaging comes with a gorgeous white label with an image of tomatoes on the vine and gives your home the perfect summer scent.

The new scent range also comes as an oil, diffuser and room spray and is available in stores and online.
Jess' clip went viral on her TikTok account @ sundaywithjess with over 24k views and 600 likes.
People were quick to take to the comments claiming they also loved the scent.
One person wrote: "The smell of tomato leaf reminds me of my childhood helping my grandad in his greenhouse... even when I smell it now I'm transported back to that happy memory... miss him very much!"
Hottest home trends for 2025
Renovations expert Andy Simms, from MyBuilder.com revealed the hottest interior design trends for this year.
COLOUR DRENCHING
Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space - doors, radiators, and even furniture won't escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige - once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms.
STATEMENT WALLPAPER
Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme.
BROKEN LIVING PLAN
Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn't quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces - with a twist. 'Broken plan' is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass.
Another commented: 'The essential oil of this is UNREAL by the way if anyone has an oil diffuser."
"It's a really lovely option - I have the room spray," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Obsessed with tomato smells!"
Someone else added: 'I agree!!! I have it in the house. It's so lovely."
