Iconic 90s perfume that 'always brings back memories' under £29 on Amazon
There's no denying the power that a childhood perfume can hold. Despite there being an array of stunning scents to choose from these days, many of us like to revisit an old favourite.
One retro fragrance Amazon shoppers currently can't stop boasting over is the "crisp" Tommy Girl Eau de Toilette. Unlike many designer brands, it's fairly affordable, with a 100ml costing just £28.95.
It is also available in a smaller 50ml bottle for just £22.45, although it is beginning to fast sell out, with Amazon advising there are only "13 left in stock" at the time of writing.
Launched back in 1996, Tommy Hilfiger's iconic scent quickly became one of the designer brand's most beloved fragrances. In fact, it even boasts a male counterpart, Tommy, which has been praised as a "timeless classic" for under £30.
Meanwhile, Tommy Girl remains a firm fan-favourite for its blend of fruity and floral notes that are said to "capture the freedom and optimism of an American road trip."

Product Description
Its main notes are bergamot and spearmint, with florals including jasmine, rose, and iced tea making up its heart notes. It then ends on base notes of musks and sandalwood, adding a warm finish to the fresher scent.
The bottle itself is also iconic, boasting simple sinuous curves and a transparent glass that is distinguished by its simple silver cap and minimalist logo.
Retro scents often remain 'on trend' no matter how old they are. One that many millennial women will remember rushing out to buy is Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Eau de Parfum (100ml), currently just £39.50 at Boots.
Another legendary perfume that often sells out is Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette, with a 100ml bottle of the famed heart-shaped bottle now on offer at The Perfume Shop for just £23.99.
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.
Owing to its popularity, Tommy Girl is still a popular choice for those looking for some nostalgia, as it has managed to earn a 4.6 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that say it "brings back memories" and "lasts all day."
One devoted fan said: "Loved this fragrance in my younger years and glad it's not been altered. The fragrance Brings back happy memories and still great value for money."
A similar shopper agreed: "I liked this as a teenager and love it as and adult. Sprayed it and all memories came flooding in. Must buy. Clean crisp scent."

One who found the scent more on the mature side argued: "I am a woman who prefers to wear masculine clothing, and this smells too much like an old lady. If that's what you're going for, this is the one for you."
But someone praising its longevity said: "When I was still working, before retirement, this great scent lasted all day and into the evening! Not so strong that people around start sneezing and coughing! Perfect scorching summer and chilly winter! I have used this for years, and am so glad that Amazon still carries it."

The Blairite Breakfast Club
Illustration by Marcus Butt / Ikon Images An army marches on its stomach and the Blairite New Labour praetorian guard of Keir Starmer's cabinet meets for breakfast club. Lunch is for wimps and dinners are too often public, so, whispered a snout, Pat McFadden, Wes Streeting, Liz Kendall and Peter Kyle gather in the early morning away from bleary eyes to chew over the state of play. The orange-juice band are tight-knit with a common orientation and interests. No plotting occurs against the Prime Minister, insists our informant, but if Starmer ever looks like he's toast, expect a united front with the other three backing Streeting. By the way, the Health Secretary is expected by colleagues to go on the chicken run to a much safer roost now Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's new party might make vulnerable Ilford North hostile territory. Starmer is braced to go through his Highland hell bromance with Trump all over again during September's state visit. The US president's green-eyed onetime British bestie Nigel Farage must've been one of the few leaders who wished they were in the PM's shoes for the near 90-minute ordeal in Scotland. 'We're grown-up about the value of Keir's relationship with the president,' sniffs an aide. There must be an entire book in this for Starmer rather than a mere chapter in future memoirs. It can be hard to know what to do once you're no longer PM, as Starmer will discover one day. Tony Blair regularly welcomes furtive groups of Labour MPs to the offices of his think tank. Our snouts have spotted Theresa May in the big Waitrose in Maidstone, picking up essentials while Philip pushes the trolley. David 'chillaxing' Cameron continues to enjoy life after Westminster. A personal Instagram post over the weekend showed a shorts-and-polo-shirt-wearing Cameron at the ISPS Handa Senior Open at Sunningdale, Berkshire, with former taoiseach Enda Kenny. Cameron looked almost unbearably happy holding a silver plate after being part of the winning team at the tournament. With a reported net worth of £40m, Cameron may not need any more silver either. Dubbed Donald Trump's guy in Silicon Valley before Elon Musk mutated Twitter into X and Mark Zuckerberg turned two-Facedbook, the American tech billionaire Peter Thiel was in town recently and held a private dinner with right-wing worthies. Thiel, waging a war on progressives, was aghast about the state of Britain. He predicted that our economy, being roughly '80 per cent services and 20 per cent manufacturing', would soon come under even more pressure. AI would ravage the services, and sky-high industrial energy prices would see off what remained of the manufacturing. Did anyone have a good response to Thiel's challenge around the table? Not according to our snout. He told the British right what it wanted to hear. Blink-of-an-eye PM Liz Truss notoriously claimed the 'jury's out' on whether French President Emmanuel Macron was a friend or a foe of the UK, and now a similar decision pockmarks the Green Party's carnivorous leadership bash. Adrian Ramsay couldn't tell LBC interviewer Iain Dale whether he liked 'eco-populist' rival Zack Polanski or not. The MP for Waveney Valley and Green Party co-leader wobbled when asked directly, subsequently clarifying he liked 'working with Zack'. Polanski, whose campaign took Ramsay somewhat by surprise, said afterwards that he was 'stung' by the hesitation. Having worked with Ramsay for years, Polanski expected better: 'I hadn't realised that Adrian didn't like me on a personal level.' Always the last to know? Defeating the Spanish Armada, Nelson's victory at Trafalgar, Wellington's at Waterloo, Winston Churchill as the grandson of a Duke, and the creation of the NHS by Clement Attlee, grandfather of a hereditary peer, were all cited in vain by Tory shadow Lords leader, Nicholas True, as reasons to reprieve hereditary bluebloods from the guillotine. 'Frankly bonkers stuff,' sniffed a Labour source. Quite. At last a glint of good news for Kendall: there are fewer vermin under Labour. After this column's snippet last week on the rodent-infested Mouses of Parliament our eyes alighted on figures recording a fall in pest control call-outs to Jobcentres and other buildings managed by the DWP. The 571 to date this year include one a piece for cockroaches and grey squirrels, 16 for wasps, 93 for birds, and 140 for rats and mice, with unspecified insects topping the bill at 288. Kendall must have shot the Tory fox, with zero cases recorded in 2025 after 13 problems with Mr Tods in recent Conservative times.

He shared: "I'm obviously over the moon and so excited. "Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal, and I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie. "We shot the entire film on stages. "Now we're really gonna lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we're starting in Glasgow. "We are gonna use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together."

New York City tour buses have also been spotted, and several buildings are decorated with American-themed adverts, completing a scene reminiscent of the Big Apple itself. Filming is scheduled to officially begin on August 1, but the shoot will result in widespread disruption for more than two weeks, with road closures, parking bans, and bus lane suspensions in place across the city centre. A full list of roads affected can be found here.
