sorted byLooks like it's:
Men:
Dark Blue (Hugo Boss Dark Blue) - at least, it was before
Victory (Paco Rabanne Invictus)
Elegance (Hugo Boss The Scent)
Acqua Fresh (not sure? will find out - Parfumo dot net says it's the male Acqua Di Gio)
Women:
Cotton Blue (D&G Light Blue)
D'elle (Narciso Rodriguez For Her)
De Amor (Cacharel Amor Amor)
Agua Marina (Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio)
Stylish Girl (Carolina Herrera Good Girl)
Might be getting the genders mixed up. All seem to be Eau De Parfum / 100ml, £6.49.
(Got some of these from an older post from 2021, at the bottom hotukdeals.com/dea…913 also from here hotukdeals.com/com…455 )
Another edit (yep, Stylish Girl is a dupe of Carolina Herrera Good Girl)

and
Stylish Girl (Carolina Herrera Good Girl)
I'd say Stylish Girl (only tried testers of the real scent) is a great copy. Had it on ten minutes though, will update about lasting power.
another edit: Boyf woke me up this morning (I'm on sleep meds so I tend to sleep in longer than him) with lovely aftershave on, and it turned out he was wearing Elegance.
The Blue ombre (Stylish Girl) and the Boss The Scent-alike-shaped (Elegance) bottles are a nice touch as well.
The Stylish Girl lasts maybe 1-2 hours on me (so, not the greatest) but it's a big bottle, cheap and smells good, can't complain!
Had a try of Essence on one wrist and it lasts quite a bit longer than Stylish Girl. (edited)
It's traditional (at least, in the last few years) for Lidl to offer perfumes around Valentine's Day. I used to buy the Madame Glamour Gift Set (think it was body lotion and shower gel - edit - actually, this was what it looked like) but I've not seen that for a long time - and the MG bottle has had a makeover since then, just as these current scents are in newer bottles.
I've seen the Madame Glamour Hand Cream and Fabric Conditioner in stores reasonably recently. I have talked about these on HUKD far, far too much over the years.
The Madame Glamour Fabric Conditioner didn't really seem to linger (unless it's changed in the last year or two, but it was fun trying it out. Was also in Femelle / La Vie Est Belle and a few other fragrances).
For me, Lidl still make the better of the copycat fragrances, though, I need to give Aldi a fair shout and get trying their newer testers - never seem to see any in the Aldis I go to currently. (edited)
(NI gets Lidl specials either earlier or later than Mainland UK, afaik)

Luckily I can't see any shoppers mistaking these perfumes for the real thing, so these will be safe. There are a lot of copycat brands in both Lidl and Aldi, though.
