M&S are such hypocrites

So after the kerfufle earlier in the year with M&S accusing Aldi of copying Colin the Caterpillar, I popped into M&S at the weekend and noticed their Library of Scent range which I hadn’t seen before.
I smelled the ‘Seashell’ diffuser and it is an exact rip off of The White Company Seychelles! Even the packaging is very similar.
Funnily enough the Pomegranate fragrance was also identical to The White Company Pomegranate diffuser oil I have too!🤣

They are indeed hypocrites but guess what I'm buying if I can get it Wednesday. Thanks for the tip off. X

That’s good because the white company is too expensive for me so I’m off for a sniff in M&S!

Honestly Sue, you wouldn’t know the difference. I use Seychelles in my diffuser all the time and couldn’t tell. Plus Seychelles oil is often sold out and hard to get.
M&S Balance in the Apothecary range is lovely too and a bit similar.

The M&S Soft Iris perfume is very similar to Coco Chanel. I wear both and you really
cant tell the difference. The real one just lasts a bit longer
