In the world of skin and body care, brand loyalty can be fierce.

Devotees often pay top dollar for their favourite self-care items.

However, the latest buzz among Australian bargain hunters is all about a new, wallet-friendly alternative that's causing quite a stir.

Chemist Warehouse introduced a product hailed as a 'dupe' for the luxurious Aesop body care range.

Aesop has a reputation for high-quality ingredients, chic packaging, and a price tag to match.

Now, Chemist Warehouse has matched the luxury brand with the Ovidio range.

Ovidio has won consumers' hearts with its stunning scents and sophisticated presentation, all at a fraction of the cost.

A bottle of Ovidio's hand and body wash ($19) costs a fraction compared to Aesop's offerings, which could set shoppers back around $53.

This price difference caught savvy shoppers' attention and has raved about the price tags and the quality of the Ovidio range.

'I just ran in and got the whole range. They smell amazing,' one customer shared.

'This is the only body wash my husband has asked me to get on repeat,' another shared.

While Ovidio's packaging may not mimic Aesop's iconic design, it has its own subtle and sophisticated charm.

'I like their packaging more,' one Aesop fan admitted.

However, not everyone is entirely convinced with the range.

Some shoppers have expressed mixed feelings about the range's branding and packaging.

Despite this, the demand for an affordable alternative to Aesop's high-end products has been clear.

One woman asked about a dupe for the Aesop Resurrection hand wash.

'It is $40, and I will keep buying it, but where is the dupe?' she wrote on social media.

Chemist Warehouse just gave shoppers a cost-effective option for those who love the luxury experience without the hefty price tag.

As more and more Australians become conscious of their spending, finding quality products that don't break the bank is now important for many.

So, whether you're an Aesop aficionado or someone who appreciates a good bargain, it's time to visit your local Chemist Warehouse to see what all the fuss is about.

Who knows, you might just find your new favourite body care product without splurging.

It's no wonder people can't afford to pay their bills if they're paying $53 for bodywash. And some silly twit is worrying about the branding and packaging, which ends up in the bin.
More money than sense.

There appears to be serval perfumes available for the Ovidio body and hand lotion. What perfume have folk found the best. Also, it is listed by Chemist W/House as $19.99 not $15.00

Same as going to an expensive restaurant. Looks great but tastes like dog shit.

Give me something tasty and edible for a third of the price that looks like a cow pat.

The 500ml Ovidio hand and body wash that's the 'bargain' is still $19.00.

I don't think that's a bargain.

It only looks cheap when compared to the Aesop product.

There are several 500ml hand and body wash products in supermarkets that cost less.
