Marks and Spencer's 'beautiful' £10 winter perfume smells 'just like' £168 designer Le Labo

Perfume fans are heaping praise on a 'perfect for winter' £10 perfume which they say smells 'just like' designer Le Labo's £168 Santal 33. At £10, M&S's budget-friendly Warmth Eau De Parfum 50ml has had shoppers insisting it's a 'dead ringer' for the luxury fragrance, but costs £158 less.
