'Heavenly' designer aftershave now half-price in Boots deal ahead of Father's Day
Looking for Father's Day gifting inspiration? Then look no further than this Boots deal.
We might still have over four weeks until Father's Day, but there is nothing wrong with getting early gift inspiration. Let's face it, men aren't often the easiest to buy for.
Something that will always go down a treat with any guy is a good bottle of aftershave. However, much like women's perfumes, a designer bottle can often be a bit outside of our price range.
Luckily, Boots is offering up to half-price across an assortment of luxury branded scents for shoppers to take advantage of ahead of time, and this includes the highly popular Versace Oud Noir Eau de Parfum.
Right now, a 100ml bottle is 50 percent cheaper after being dropped from £121 to £60.50. Since rival retailer The Perfume Shop still stocks it at full price, it means Boots shoppers are getting the better deal.
Said to be "for the man who enjoys the finer things in life", this luxury aftershave's main scent is that of luxurious oud, which is known for being one of the "finest ingredients in perfumery", adding to its upmarket reputation.
The oriental scent is complete with top notes of bitter orange and black pepper that have been complimented with cardamom and saffron. Finished with deep leather and oud, this masculine scent is said to "create an alluring blend of spicy and intense ingredients that stir up visions of exotic landscapes."
Owing to its luxurious scent and reputation, Versace Oud Noir is housed in a sleek, minimalist glass bottle that has been adorned with the Versace Medusa Emblem at the centre.
Looking for more Father's Day inspiration, then The Perfume Shop does offer quite a few discounts across major branded bottles, with the Calvin Klein CK IN2U Man (100ml) now just £17.99, down from £57 - an impressive £39.01 saving.
Alternatively, Amazon shoppers can save themselves a rather impressive 61 percent on the BOSS In Motion Eau de Toilette (100ml) that has been reduced from £72 to £27.99.
Keen on the Boots discount? Then multiple other shoppers have praised Versace Oud Noir in glowing reviews, earning it an impressive 4.3 rating for its "heavenly" scent that is said to be "perfect for any man."
Beauty deal of the week
Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops.
One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle.
Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow.
Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade.
Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day.
Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow."
One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing!
"I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!"
Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here.
A positive review read: "Heavenly fragrance. Perfect scent for my man. I'd recommend this to everyone."
A second fan of the fragrance said: "This smells divine! A new favourite of mine. Versace fragrances never disappoint!"
Someone who bought it as a gift said: "Lovely aftershave for my husband. I really recommend. As a Jo Malone user this is a very good contender. 10/10."

Not everyone has praised the longevity of the scent, with one three-star review reading: "I bought this because I fancied a new cent of Versace. It smells lovely but I don't think I will get this one again, out of all the Versace brands this is disappointingly weak."
While another delighted shopper wrote: "Lovely fresh smell, perfect for any man of any age range."

'I found a way to get 'fresh' £29 perfume for under £5 in Boots deal'
The high street retailer has just launched its latest beauty edit, and it's a good one. Filled with premium skincare, makeup and fragrance, the limited-edition bundle is perfect for summer Boots has a real knack for putting together covetable beauty edits, but its latest Get Holiday Ready Beauty Bag might be one of the strongest yet. Priced at £32, this limited-edition bundle boasts a value of £124.50, making it a tempting offer for anyone looking to elevate their summer skincare and makeup routine without the premium price tag. Inside, there are seven mini and travel-friendly products from high-end and cult-favourite brands, all zipped up in a chic, reusable pouch. Whether you're hopping on a plane or planning a local getaway, this kit is undeniably built for on-the-go ease. As for the products themselves, well, there's some seriously impressive picks to delight skincare, makeup and fragrance enthusiasts alike. The most valuable item in the edit is Floral Street's Sunflower Pop Eau de Parfum, which is usually £29 for 10ml - that's only £3 less than the price you pay for the whole box. And it actually works out at £4.57 when you divide the number of products you get by the price you pay. Perfect for summer, it's bright, citrusy, and a definite mood-booster in a bottle. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers, it features notes such as sweet mandarin and zesty bergamot, plum, musk and amber. It's not my usual vibe, however, I was pleasantly surprised by it's fresh scent and have found myself reaching for it on sunny days. The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist is another fragrance in the mix, a viral sensation that has legions of fans thanks to its warm, beachy notes. If you love gourmand scents, it's a summer staple. Both the Sol de Janeiro mist and Floral Street perfume are very different, so some shoppers may not like both, however they do seem to serve different moods - plus it's nice to have the option. Boots Minis Bag Get Holiday Ready £124.50 £32.00 Boots Buy here Product Description Laneige's Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser is another standout. This K-beauty favourite is ultra-hydrating but still lightweight, ideal for post-sun exposure or long travel days. It leaves the skin feeling plump without any residue, and the 20ml size is generous for a mini. As for makeup, the Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Werk is the ultimate travel companion. This multitasking cream stick can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips for a really easy, cohesive makeup look. It's perfectly pigmented, easy to apply, and gives that dewy, flushed look as though you're just back from the beach. I almost didn't recognise Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base without its iconic packaging, but truth be told, I actually like this squeezy applicator even more. This primer has earned cult status among beauty buffs and it's not hard to see why. I found it performed exceptionally well under makeup, helping everything stay fresh even after a full day out. The 15ml tube goes a long way, too - a little truly does the job. The MAC Stack Elevated Mascara Mini mascara is another great addition to the edit. It delivers impressive volume and lift, perfect for travel or topping up during a long day. My only critique is that the mini wand can feel a bit fiddly, especially for those used to a full-size applicator, but it's a fair trade for the travel convenience. Finally, there's the Rituals The Ritual Of Karma Shimmering Body Oil which gives a gorgeous glow to the skin. It's a great finishing touch for holiday evening looks, but I think it's got a relatively short window of use year-round as I'm unlikely to wear this on an average Wednesday afternoon, as I would some of the other products. That said, the edit is designed with holidays in mind, so one can't grumble too much. To help take the stress out of packing, a number of other popular high street retailers have also released travel edits, with fashion favourite ASOS offering their Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box. Coming in a handy travel pouch, the edit costs £40 and boasts £135 worth of products, saving £95 on the RRP. Inside, shoppers will find eight products from a range of top brands, including Elemis, Laneige, Sol de Janeiro and Elizabeth Arden. As part of the offer, each item works out at £5 apiece. Glossybox has released a brand-new Travel Beauty Kit Limited Edition - and it saves shoppers more than £120 on the contents. While the goodies inside this beauty haul are worth over £150, it can be snapped up for an impressive £30 by subscribers, or £40 by non-subscribers. Glossybox's travel kit features 12 skincare, makeup and haircare treats, five of which are full-sized. The Boots edit has received nothing but praise from shoppers, with five star reviews across the board. One wrote: 'Such a good selection of products - especially for taking away. The bag itself is also great quality. I was going to buy the cream blush and that was £22 on its own! Please bring out more edits as good as this one.' Another added: 'Great value, nice selection of items, especially liked the fragrance,' while a third wrote: 'Looking forward to using these lovely products on my holiday.' 'Absolutely love this little set,' said another. 'I wanted to try a few of these products for a while and when I saw this set for the price I instantly bought. 10/10. Bag is really spacious and will come in handy when I go on holiday.' And I have to agree with the masses, because this set really is packed with genuinely useful, luxe-feeling products that most people would be thrilled to take on holiday. The Milk, Laneige, and Floral Street products alone justify the purchase, but the entire lineup compliments each other nicely together. Shop the edit here.

Three ways to pack your fridge with fresh vegetables for as long as possible
Shield yourself from the sun with a parasol from Dunelm which is our Deal of the Day SUN SAVERS Three ways to pack your fridge with fresh vegetables for as long as possible Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SORTED fridge can help save you money. It won't just look tidy, it will cut down on food waste which is bad for your purse and for the planet. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up With a bit of organisation, you can save food from going off, see what needs to be eaten and be inspired to freshen up your meals. GET IN THE ZONE: If you use each part of the fridge in the right way, you'll keep food fresher for longer. Keep ready-to-eat foods on the top shelf, from leftovers to open jars. The middle shelf is perfect for milk, cheese and yoghurt. While on the bottom shelf, store raw meat and fish. Put a tray underneath to catch any dips. Keep fruit and veg in the salad drawers. If you can adjust the humidity, go high for leafy greens and low for fruit. The fridge door is warmer, so is perfect for sauces and fruit juice. MIX AND MATCH: Some fruit and vegetables give off high levels of the natural ripening chemical ethylene, which means they can spoil produce placed nearby. Sophie Trueman from food waste campaign Too Good To Go, says: 'Apples are a major culprit along with pears, bananas, mangoes, plums and nectarines, so it's always best to try and store fruits like these away from each other so they ripen at a steadier pace.' Dunnes Stores fans go wild for NEW must-have summer staples Not all fruits and vegetables are sensitive to ethylene. Cherries, pineapples, grapefruit and blueberries can all be safely stored together or next to those that produce this gas. BERRY GOOD IDEAS: Store berries in the fridge as soon as buying them. Ideally, keep them in a breathable container lined with kitchen roll to absorb excess moisture. You can also line your salad drawer with paper towel to stop things getting soggy. Wrapping vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, green beans and carrots in foil will keep them crisper for longer. Keep salads and herbs away from the back of the fridge, where they could freeze and turn to mush. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.

Rare 'timeless' Estee Lauder perfume that 'suits all ages' slashed by 39%
Shoppers say they get compliments from "complete strangers" when wearing the luxury fragrance. If there's one brand that has become beloved for its perfumes, then it's Estée Lauder. Offering a variety of scents, the luxury house has something for everyone's liking. Of course, the one it is arguably known for is the iconic Youth Dew, a scent that has been hailed as "the sexiest ever made". However, there are a few lesser known alternatives that are worth giving a shot. One of them is the White Linen Eau de Parfum that reviews have praised as "timeless" and "a classic". Looking to give it a try? Then a 60ml bottle has just been reduced on Amazon from £44.99 to just £27.50, saving 39 per cent overall. Launched back in 1978, it offers a light, floral fragrance that is perfect for summer, with the design firm saying that it "captures the very essence of a perfect day: early spring breezes tinged with the fragrance of fresh flowers and endless blue sky." Designed to offer a fresh, crisp and clean fragrance, the White Linen EDP begins with top notes of damask rose, jasmine and muguet, before developing into heart notes of violet and orris. Estée Lauder White Linen Eau de Parfum, 60ml £44.99 £27.50 Amazon Buy here Product Description Finishing on the warmth of vetiver, amber and moss, the beloved perfume is housed in an elegant, transparent glass bottle that represents the luxury and classy aesthetic the brand has become known for. Perfume buffs who are seeking a similar crisp, clean scent might want to consider Elizabeth Arden's White Tea Eau de Toilette Spray. Offering a blend of musks, florals, fruits and white tea extract, a 100ml is on offer at Boots for £47. Another floral and amber based scent that is worth purchasing for summer is the Flower By Kenzo L'Absolue. Costing £61 for a 30ml at The Perfume Shop, it boasts notes of rose, orange blossom and vanilla musks. Those keen on the Estée Lauder scent, it's worth noting that, despite being launched almost 50 years ago, it is still a favourite with a 4.7 rating on Amazon from thousands of shoppers who have branded it "iconic" and ideal "for all ages and lifestyles." One five-star review read: "Timeless, sexy, iconic scent from the 70s. I've been wearing for 20 years and although it isn't the only scent I wear, it is the only one where people (often complete strangers) ask me what I'm wearing. It has a powdery, sexy, subtlety to it. Hope they never discontinue it..." A second loyal fan wrote: "A classic from Estee Lauder. Been using it for years and years. Know a few people who use it and like me would not change (unless Lauder changes the scent). Beauty deal of the week Looking to try out a new perfume, then it might be worth trying the new Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Nude Eau De Parfum (50ml). Making its debut in 2024, this floriental perfume has already been making waves, with some reviews already branding it as "one of the best" that is available. For those who have been wanting to give this new fragrance a go, it's officially available for half-price at Boots, with the health and beauty chain cutting the cost of a 50ml bottle from £96 to just £48. Created by renowned perfumer Sonia Constant, Musc Nude was created as a new interpretation on the chypre family, with a "second skin" quality that has been designed to wrap around the wearer like a "protective armour." Said to be a "celebration of eternal femininity", it opens with top notes of piquant pink peppercorn accord that have been combined with an abstract floral bouquet of delicate white flowers. At the perfume's core, there is a heart of musk that has been infused with floral notes of precious rose oil and orange blossom, before drying down to rich Tonka beans, cedarwood and patchouli to create a touch of warmth. The feminine perfume is housed in an all-over nude pink bottle with a frosted finish that has been topped with a matching matte cap. Offering sophisticated lines, the design matches the elegance of the perfume included within. One five-star review read: "I recently received a sample of this and I am so glad I did because the smell is so lovely. You need to purchase this immediately. One of the best scents I've ever smelt before and the scent lasts all day too which is a bonus." The new Narciso Rodriguez for her Musc Nude Eau de Parfum (50ml) is available for half-price at Boots now. "It has a pleasant soft aroma that lasts for a long time. Does not matter how old you are. Fits all ages and lifestyles. Nothing worse than an overpowering aroma. Plus at £30 odd it is a brilliant price!" Someone else delighted with the perfume added: "This is an old favourite. It's light, fresh and lasts a long time." As is the case with all perfumes, it wasn't suited to everyone's personal scent profile, as one two-star review read: "I was a bit misled with the reviews, recommending it as a fresh, light scent. "This is not light at all, made me dizzy from just one spray! If you're looking for a pleasant, sweet yet fresh scent, this probably won't be for you." Although, someone who found that it was a fresh scent added: "It makes me feel good, really good and is fresh and not overpowering. It's a favourite of mine, I love it." And another fan praised: "More of my favourite summer perfume. This is my favourite, it's light, floral and fresh, just right for summer. I couldn't not have this to wear in the summer months. I feel naked without it." Perfume buffs can bag the Estée Lauder White Linen Eau de Parfum (60ml) on offer on Amazon now.
