M&S axes popular homeware range that’s a ‘fantastic’ dupe of White Company & Jo Malone leaving shoppers ‘devastated’

MARKS and Spencer has axed its popular range of bath and body products leaving shoppers "devastated".

The high-street brand has been forced to respond after customers noted the stock was suddenly missing from shelves.

M&S has confirmed the end of a relaxing Apothecary item.

The Balance room and linen spray previously retailed around £8.

Bottles containing different types of essential oils boasted a delightful scent.

The unique blend offered relaxing notes of geranium, black pepper, vetiver and cinnamon leaf.

As an exclusive to the Apothecary brand, the discontinuation has left some disappointed.

One fan of the range took to social media after discovering the product would no longer feature in store.

He wrote: "Balance apothecary range. I specifically went in this week to replenish all my products and it no longer exists. Devastated."

A spokesperson for the big name brand responded on X, formerly known as Twitter.

They put: "Hi there, sorry to hear you've been disappointed. We discontinued these not that long ago but I'll let our Home Team know you'd like to see them back! - Chris"

The shopper then posted a picture showing an example of the product alongside the caption: "My last bottle of room spray is still going, but that’s what the world needs now, more Balance!"

The Balance spray is still advertised on the site as dual purpose, available in a medium size.

Whilst the item appears to be in the sale, it does not seem to be available for purchase, however Ocado seems to have a limited number still in stock.

Apothecary has a number of other fragrances and body washes on offer.

Home-spa hopefuls still have the chance to take their pick from the calm, warmth or restore collections.

With candle refills, clarifying masks, grooming oil and even meditate room spray, shoppers could purchase items for themselves or to gift to someone else.

The Calm hand wash has even been described as a dupe for the £40 Aesop equivalent.

It is fragranced with lavender, ho wood, sweet orange and cedar and could save home store buyers over £30 when compared to the original.

Delving to the store's other sections, the £3.50 pretzels, caramel, sea salt and nougat bar could be a swap for the pricier Tony's Chocolonely.

The Sun has approached Marks and Spencer for comment.
