B&M shoppers are rushing to buy a £4 dupe of Zara Home's iconic candle that is £20 cheaper than the original
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BARGAIN-hunting Brits are going wild for a £4 candle from B&M that's being hailed as a perfect dupe for a high-end Zara Home favourite — and it's £20 cheaper. The budget retailer's Candle in a Cup has caught the attention of shoppers thanks to its striking resemblance to Zara Home's Mountain Pepper Scented Candle, which retails at £23.99 for a 250g pot. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Zara's Moutain pepper scented candle for £23.99 Credit: ZARA 4 The retailer has a strong reputation for stocking high-quality dupes that give customers the luxe-for-less feel Credit: Facebook 4 Now, B&M shoppers say they can get the same luxurious scent for a fraction of the cost – and with the same chic look to match any décor Credit: Facebook B&M's version comes in a similarly sleek ceramic cup and offers a warm, spicy scent that's near identical to the original, according to fans. One delighted customer said, 'I couldn't believe how similar it smelled to the Zara one I had before. "Honestly, if someone blind-tested me, I wouldn't know the difference. And at £4? I went back the next day and bought three more.' The Mountain Pepper candle by Zara is known for its rich, peppery notes with a hint of citrus, making it a cult classic for those who love a home that smells expensive. Now, B&M shoppers say they can get the same luxurious scent for a fraction of the cost – and with the same chic look to match any décor. This isn't the first time B&M has caused a frenzy with its affordable alternatives to designer homewares. The retailer has a strong reputation for stocking high-quality dupes that give customers the luxe-for-less feel. Their Hotel Collection range, in particular, has drawn comparisons to brands like The White Company and Jo Malone. Shoppers have also raved about B&M's reed diffusers, which are priced at just £3.99 but give off scents that rival products five times the price. I wasn't going to fork out for a Labubu so nabbed a budget alternative from B&M instead - it's SO much cuter too One woman wrote on Facebook: 'These make my whole house smell posh. "I'll never go back to buying the expensive ones again.' Priced at around £4.99, they're often compared to Jo Malone's classic scented candles, which can cost upwards of £55. As one shopper joked online: 'It's giving Zara vibes, but on a B&M budget — and I'm here for it!' Even home accessories like velvet cushions and throws are proving popular dupes. Their luxe-looking velvet cushion covers, priced at £8.99, have been likened to ones sold at H&M Home and Zara Home for double the price.
