Boots shoppers 'feel like royalty' with £66 perfume that's now £26
Boots shoppers have been impressed with the chance to get a perfume that smells like it is "high end" without having to spend a fortune. The scent is marked down at better than half its original price on the high street store's website.
The health and beauty store's sale, which offers up to 50% off items like perfumes, skincare, and hair tools, ends tomorrow (July 15). Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette has been heavily discounted beyond the usual price cut.
The 'timeless' fragrance, which has been sold in stores since 2006, is normally worth £66 for a 100ml bottle. However, with the Boots online deal, the same perfume costs just £26 - a saving of £40.
Boots describes it online as a fruity floral perfume that mixes "rich vanilla with exotic flowers and succulent fruits. "The retailer added: "The scent sparkles with the captivating, sweet, tart aroma of delicate lady apples and dreamy water lily kissed lightly by golden apricot and mandarin meringue.
"This sweeps into a heart of ripe pink guava and the rare, coveted Tahitian tiare flower, wild tuberose and dark chocolate. In the base, tempting vanilla chiffon and pink frosting are combined with precious amber and forbidden woods to wrap the fragrance in a mysterious air. Princess is an enchanting celebration of modern femininity."
Other popular perfume deals are available elsewhere, whether for a thoughtful gift or a bit of self-care. Superdrug has a sale on Ghost Orb of Night (was £44, now £36), and The Perfume Shop has slashed the price of Gucci Rush (worth £79, now £34.99).
Thousands of shoppers were raving about the perfume in the reviews. One said: "Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette is a dreamy, whimsical fragrance that instantly makes me feel like royalty. It's sweet, playful, and just the right amount of youthful without being overpowering."
Another added: "My daughter got this for me for my birthday and I love it. She agreed that it is a great quality perfume, especially for how affordable it is, with the scent and quality of this you'd think it's a higher-end perfume."
A third put: "Blend of vanilla, floral, and fruity notes creates a soft, charming scent that's perfect for everyday wear. I love the whimsical bottle design too! It's a feel-good perfume that always brightens my mood and gets compliments."
However, not all shoppers were convinced by its timeless appeal. One put: "Very light scent. Wore off in less than a minute even after several sprays. Not worth the price - even at sale."
Another suggested: "Purchased as a cheap perfume for work, don't know how this can be marketed as a perfume, expensive water lasted all of 10 minutes. Feel ripped off." And, a third claimed: "I was hoping have some nice kick as a lot of nice review but it's shame as you cannot even smell it."
However, despite its critics, most felt the bottle was worthy of a five-star review. Someone said in their review: "Really nice smelling perfume. Bought a few times and absolutely love it. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It's my go to scent."
