The perfume has been a hit with fans since 2006, with thousands of reviews on the Boots website raving about it.
Boots customers have been thrilled with the chance to purchase a perfume that gives off a "high-end" aroma without breaking the bank. The fragrance is currently available at more than half off its original price on the high-street retailer's website.
The health and beauty shop's sale, offering up to 50% off items such as perfumes, skincare products, and hair tools, ends tomorrow (July 15). Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette has seen a significant reduction beyond the standard discount.
This 'timeless' scent, which has been a staple on beauty counter shelves since 2006, typically sells for £66 for a 100ml bottle. However, in the Boots online deal, the same perfume is now priced at just £26 - a saving of £40, reports the Mirror.
Boots explained online that the fragrance is a fruity floral perfume that blends "rich vanilla with exotic flowers and succulent fruits". The retailer further 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."
Fragrance fans looking for a bargain are spoilt for choice with a selection of enticing deals ideal for gifting or self-indulgence. Superdrug's current promotion features Ghost Orb of Night, dropped from £44 to £36, while The Perfume Shop offers the coveted Gucci Rush at an impressively reduced price of £34.99, down from £79.
Reviewers can't stop praising Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette, with one fan describing it as "a dreamy, whimsical fragrance". They added: "It instantly makes me feel like royalty. It's sweet, playful, and just the right amount of youthful without being overpowering."
Another satisfied shopper shared: "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 posted: "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."
Despite numerous positive reviews, not everyone was in love with the fragrance's enduring charm. A shopper claimed: "Very light scent. Wore off in less than a minute even after several sprays. Not worth the price - even at sale."
Further criticism came from a shopper who added: "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." Another added: "I was hoping to have some nice kick as a lot of nice reviews, but it's a shame as you cannot even smell it."
Despite facing some criticism, the overall review seems to be that the perfume deserves top marks, with many awarding it a five-star review. A satisfied shopper shared their thoughts: "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."
