Save £50 on ‘long lasting' Issey Miyake perfume shoppers say is their ‘desert island' scent
A great perfume can be one of the most important things in your beauty arsenal, helping you feel instantly confident and put together with a single spray. Some shoppers have even gone as far as to say that they would consider one perfume in particular their 'desert island' luxury.
The happy customer said: 'If you put me on a desert island and said I can have two luxuries, perfume would be one. Beautiful smell, absolutely love florals.' The perfume that's gotten such high praise is the Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia fragrance, with its fresh and floral scent being a big hit.
Although usually priced at £110 for 100ml, The Perfume Shop has now slashed the price of it to £59.99, saving you £50. This price cut makes the 100ml bottle work out cheaper than the 50ml, which is still priced at £64.99 – the perfect time to get more for your money.
There are also some other great perfume deals on at the moment, with Sephora offering up to 40% off its fragrances, including some big name brands like Prada, YSL and Gucci. Elsewhere LookFantastic is running a 50% off sale on selected perfumes for a limited time.
You can get 100ml of Calvin Klein Eternity for Women Eau de Parfum for £44.50 down from £89, whilst the Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense Eau de Parfum has been slashed to a much more affordable price. Usually available for £71 for a 30ml bottle, it's now on offer for £35.50.
The L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia however has zesty, refreshing notes combined with light florals and subtle earthy tones, making it a lovely fragrance to wear during the summer, although you could just as easily wear it year round. Those who've bought it have also said it's the perfect scent for any occasion, and can be worn both day and night.
It has top notes of bergamot and neroli for that zingy, fresh scent, with heart notes of rose and magnolia to bring soft, feminine floral hints. It finishes with sandalwood at the base to give it some depth.
Other reviews also praised the L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia perfume, with one writing: 'Wow. Just wow. I love it even more than expected. Everyone compliments me and asks what I'm wearing!!! Awesome!!'
Another agreed: 'Sample, long lasting scent that is not too strong, it's refreshing and light.'
Some weren't as much of a fan of the scent as others, with one shopper saying: 'The smell is alright, but I probably won't be getting anymore since it just really doesn't suit me. I do recommend for others try it out for themselves.'
Someone else wrote: 'This smelled like your typical floral scent! Nothing special about it. Didn't last too long either. Something I would keep in the car or somewhere for a quick spritz but wouldn't be a top pick or everyday wear perfume.'
However others couldn't get enough, writing: 'I really love this perfume, it is perfect for day and night and lasts a long time.'

'Elderly neighbour leaves parcels on my doorstep and contents always floor me'
She couldn't believe what was inside (stock image) (Image: Getty Images) There's nothing quite like having good neighbours - after all, life is so much easier when people living on the same street get along. For one woman, things are pretty good, as her neighbour often leaves random parcels on her doorstep - but you'll never believe what's inside. Danielle, known as charityshoplife on TikTok, often documents her charity shop finds online, but her recent story has gone viral as it focuses on her elderly neighbour. In the video, she said she always leaves bags of things on her doorstep, so she never knows what she's going to come home to - even though the items are not for her to keep. She said she never knows what's going to arrive next, and she's been gifted all sorts of gorgeous designer wear - from Prada to Chanel. Though the story may appear wild at first, there's a special reason why she does this and it shows just how kind some neighbours can be. Danielle said: "For some context, I sell second hand clothing online for a living. She's a little bit elderly, she doesn't really do the internet. She won't sell anything online herself so I do it for her. "I don't charge her anything, so let's see what we've been left with today. A nice red, oh this is really, really gorgeous. I was thinking oh a trench coat, it's got to be Burberry, and it is, and I'm not sure it's ever been worn. "Wow, the colour of that is stunning. I really want to go and have a look in her wardrobe, but I haven't really plucked up the courage to ask yet." Content cannot be displayed without consent She added: "Let's see what else is in here. I think it's another Burberry trench. Oh, this one's shorter this time. That's it - only two items today, but it's still pretty cool coming home to find Burberry left on your doorstep." After Danielle shared the video, thousands of people viewed it and were quick to comment. Many couldn't believe that she gets left such luxury items. One person wrote: "I gasped. Stunning. Do you give her the money you make? What a neighbour to have." To this, Danielle replied: "Yeah, I don't make a cut or anything. "I just get the best price I can for her, and give her the money. It's not really much effort when my life is already listing stuff and posting parcels." Another said: "I think we all need your neighbour in our lives." A third quipped: "Is your neighbour Miranda Priestly?" Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "I sold for an elderly neighbour and she was so grateful. We both had so much fun guessing what price the stuff was going to sell for and how quickly." Someone else also chimed in with: "The items are fab and so are you for looking out for your neighbour. It's a lovely thing to do - very kind." There were some people who admitted they don't think they'd be able to part with such gorgeous clothing, while others said they'd be worried about such expensive items being left on the doorstep. Danielle admitted: "I also wonder how long two Burberry coats sat on my doorstep before I got home. I do always say I will come and get them but they just appear."

Mariah Carey halts Brighton Pride performance for iconic on-stage diva demand
EXCLUSIVE: Singing sensation Mariah Carey has made her long‑awaited UK return headlining Brighton Pride, but she halted the show mid-performance to invite some very unlikely guests on stage Mariah Carey has taken centre stage at Brighton Pride this weekend, headlining the Pride on the Park event at Preston Park on Saturday, August 2, in a performance fans have been waiting for since her originally planned appearance in 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic. The global superstar, 56, famous for hits such as Fantasy, Hero and We Belong Together, has not performed in the UK since her Royal Albert Hall concerts in 2019. Her Brighton show marked her first UK performance in six years and one of only a handful of international dates confirmed for 2025. It comes after the US singer insisted that ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her in candid admission. As fans sang along in their thousands, they were surprised as Mariah suddenly halted her performance to ask some very unlikely people on stage. The American songstress told the crowd that she needed a 'touch up' before continuing with her performance. She then called for her glam squad and hair team to come out on stage do top up her makeup and bouncy curls. Speaking to The Mirror, a Mariah fan at Pride said: "What Mariah wants, Mariah must get. She called her makeup and hair team to the stage to touch up her hair and makeup. As she should, the queen that she is. "She was absolutely incredible and just goes to show that even though she's one of the biggest stars on the planet, she has no qualms about wanting to look her best - like all of us." Ahead of the event, Carey teased her arrival in a playful TikTok video, showing herself boarding a private jet in Paris wearing a sleek black Prada dress and Louboutin boots. She captioned the clip with: 'Nothing beats going to Brighton Pride!!', sending her fans into a frenzy online. Organisers hailed Carey's performance as a major moment for the festival. Brighton Pride's managing director described her as a 'global icon' whose appearance would be 'truly momentous' for the city's LGBTQ+ celebration. The setlist is a mix of timeless classics and tracks from her forthcoming album Here for It All, due for release in September. Crowd favourites include Fantasy, Emotions, We Belong Together and Always Be My Baby, alongside her new single Sugar Sweet. Fans have been ecstatic both online and in person. 'I booked my tickets months ago - it's the first time I've seen her live after 18 years of being a fan,' one attendee said. Another added: 'It's so important to see our legends while they're still performing. She was incredible.' This year's Pride event was expected to draw crowds of over 300,000, matching last year's record turnout. Carey headlines Saturday night, with support acts including Slayyyter, Loreen, Ashnikko, Bimini and Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge. On Sunday, the main stage will be closed by the Sugababes following the band's incredible reunion. And Carey's appearance was more than just a headline performance. It was a long‑awaited reunion with her UK fans, a celebration of her enduring music career, and a major highlight for Brighton Pride. For many, tonight is a stark reminder of why she remains one of the most celebrated vocalists and performers in pop history.

The Alien Refillable Eau De Parfum 30ml has been reduced on Boots - giving shoppers 20% off A beloved Mugler fragrance that customers adore has been discounted in a rare sale at Boots. The Alien Refillable Eau De Parfum 30ml - arguably one of the brand's most iconic scents - has seen its price cut by 20% on the health and beauty retailer's website. This means customers can grab the floral woody scent for £55 instead of £69. The feminine perfume is suitable for wear throughout the year, with notes of white amber, cashmeran wood, and jasmine sambac. One customer was seriously taken with the scent, titling their review 'by far the greatest'.

Upgrade your perfume collection £69 £55 Boots Shop here One customer remarked: "This fragrance was good for the first couple of hours after applying it. Half way through the evening the fragrance was almost gone. For the price of it I do not think it is worth the money." Another described it as 'rather overpowering.'

Despite mixed opinions, the perfume, which boasts over 1,800 reviews on Boots, has a legion of admirers. A satisfied customer shared in their review: "Wow! What can I say? It is amazing! I bought this perfume over a year ago now since I smelt it on many people and I couldn't resist not asking them what it is as it smells absolutely amazing. "It is such a feminine scent and is very strong which means a little goes a long way as it lasts all day." Shoppers can purchase the Muglier Alien perume here.
