For one week only shoppers can save 50% on ‘sophisticated and sensual' Rabanne perfume
There's nothing better than finding a new perfume that ends up being your go-to scent, and we think we might just have found the perfect fragrance that encapsulates summer. Rabanne's Fame The Couture Edition Eau de Parfum was inspired by Parisian nightlife, evoking fast-paced, sophisticated and sensual energy, and embodies everything we love about the summer season.
The latest addition to Rabanne's Fame range of perfumes, The Couture Edition is a limited edition launch, serving up seductive notes that are sweet, floral and heady. It also comes in a unique faux fur-covered bottle with gold accents, giving it a luxurious, extravagant look to match its high end scent.
The Rabanne Fame The Couture Edition perfume lands in the floral amber fragrance family, with notes of smoked incense, vanilla and iris. All of the ingredients are also ethically sourced, making it responsibly formulated.
Although the perfume is usually priced at £144 for an 80ml bottle, now is the perfect time to get your hands on it for less. For a short time, LookFantastic has slashed the price of the limited edition perfume by 50%, bringing it down to just £72.
Other beauty retailers have also discounted it the fragrance for a limited time, with Boots taking it down to £86.40 and saving you £57.60, whilst The Perfume Shop has dropped the price to £125, saving you £19. You can however make some serious savings on other perfumes at both retailers right now, so it's a great time to snap up some old favourites too.
Boots is currently running a 20% off selected fragrances offer which includes brands like Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and YSL. Meanwhile The Perfume Shop's summer sale has discounted fragrance favourites like Lancome, Chloe and Jean Paul Gaultier.
However if you want to get your hands on the Rabanne Fame The Couture Edition before it sells out (or goes back up in price) then LookFantastic's offer is a must-shop. There's currently only one review of the perfume on the site, saying: 'I received and sampled and love it that much I brought the full size.'
However at Boots one shopper praised: 'Not only do I love how great this scent smells, the bottle is so cute that I had to have it as a collector item. The scent is sweeter, richer and has more depth than the regular Fame. Think more fall, evening and seductive. Great purchase that you won't regret!'
And another agreed: 'This is really high quality perfume. It lasts all day and a little goes a long way. The vanilla and floral notes really come through, making it perfect for everyday or special occasions.'
Others were less impressed, saying: 'This smelled okay. I probably would not purchase it for a high price point but I might wear it out to dinner on occasion. It smells nice, with a slight vanilla scent that wears off rather quickly.'
Another said: 'This perfume was overall just okay. Over the course of a few hours I started to feel like just a powdery hand soap as the vanilla scent fades. It does last long and it smells good but not something I would choose to wear.'
However perfumes are such a personal thing, it's no surprise that some love it whilst others are less taken with the scent. Another happy shopper wrote: 'Omg this perfume smells amazing! Not a strong or overpowering it's a good floral sweet scent. I can wear this everyday. It's priced very well. And the packaging looks great. I got a small sample but bottle looks so cute! I'd definitely recommend such a sweet sexy scent.'
You can pick up the Rabanne Fame The Couture Edition perfume at LookFantastic with 50% off now.

Boots offering limited edition 'iconic' luxury perfume at its lowest price
Perfume fans have branded this particular perfume as a "beauty icon." Fans of designer perfumes will know that they are a pricey investment. However, we know where to get one limited edition bottle for its cheapest price. One brand that has earned a massive reputation over the years for its luxurious fragrances is Lancôme, with the French house officially celebrating its milestone 90th anniversary this year. To celebrate, the luxury house recently dropped the new La vie est belle L'Eau de Parfum Sparkling Edition that is worth £100 for a 50ml, but is available to bag for just £50 at Boots - offering a nifty 50 percent on the latest addition. To sweeten the deal, the health and beauty chain is one of the only retailers offering the perfume, and at its cheapest price, as rival The Perfume Shop is the only other place it can be bought from, where it's still full price. Debuting in 2012, La Vie est Belle has become the brand's most distinctive fragrance, as it has become famed for its iris-based aroma that was created exclusively by three of France's greatest perfumers. Lancôme La vie est belle L'Eau de Parfum Sparkling Edition, 50ml £100 £50 Boots Buy here Product Description The pink-tinted perfume opens on a "timeless" and "perfect" balance of iris pallida and accord gourmand, before delving into notes orange blossom and jasmine sambac. Ending on vanilla accord and patchouli to add depth to the overall scent, there's a reason why many loyal buyers say that it is one of their "most complimented" scents in their collection. Adding to its luxury aesthetic, this new collectors edition of the iconic perfume boasts the same renowned bottle, but it now features sparkling accents of silver and pink, alongside a delicate ribbon and wings. We have spotted other nifty deals on other bottles at different retailers, as Superdrug shoppers who purchase a bottle of Marc Jacobs' Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum, priced from £60 for 30ml, can get a free AirPods case from the designer brand. Another perfume that offers exclusivity is Elizabeth Arden's White Tea Eau de Toilette, which we have so far only found on Amazon where a 100ml bottle costs £24.94, down from £42. With Boots being the cheapest retailer for the La Vie est Belle scent, it's worth knowing that it has amassed a 4.8 rating from devoted fans who have praised it as "timeless" and a " beauty icon."

One glowing review read: "I bought La Vie est Bella long ago and I keep buying it. La Vie est Belle is an iconic fragrance that makes me feel classy and elegant. When I have it everybody always say "you smell so good..!" That is the point of La Vie est Belle." A second shopper remarked: "A beauty icon. This fragrance has become my signature beauty staple, a warm subtle perfume that resembles sophistication." Another loyal buyer said: "Absolutely timeless. Many fragrances tend to change on my skin and lose their appeal—but not this one. It remains beautiful from the first spritz to the dry down. It's my go-to and truly one of my all-time favorites!" Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. Although it boasts a near perfect rating, it's fair to say that the scent was not suited to everyone's tastes, as one three-star review read: "The scent is super strong and sweet. It would be a no for me." Comparatively, another five-star review read: "This is my most complimented perfumes. It lasts a very long time. It's suitable for every occasion. It can be worn all year long. It's one of my all time favorites." Boots shoppers can get the Lfor just £50 now.

'Denise Welch made me buy this £49 M&S jacket that's perfect for summer layering'
The Loose Women panellist is best known for her acting and presenting roles, but one of her recent outfits cemented her name on the list of daytime TV fashion icons If you'd asked me last month to name my daytime fashion inspirations, I'd likely have reeled off the usual suspects - Frankie Bridge, Cat Deeley or Rochelle Humes. Denise Welch probably wouldn't have been the first name that comes to mind, but appearing on a June episode of Loose Women, the actress was seen sporting a piece that I instantly had to track down. The 67-year-old donned the Pure Cotton Striped Tie Front Shacket from M&S's Per Una collection, which happens to be under £50. When I checked online for stock, it had completely sold out, but luckily I managed to get my hands on it in store. Lucky for shoppers, it's since been restocked and is available in most sizes. Now, I really dislike the word shacket. It gives me the same visceral reaction others get to words like 'moist'. However, while the word once triggered fashion fatigue, it really is the best way to describe this blouse-come-layering-piece. Priced at £49.50, the lightweight jacket is made from 100% cotton in an oversized, boxy fit. It's lightweight enough to be worn alone as a blouse, but heavy enough to wear as a jacket without it being flimsy. It boasts long sleeves and a collared V-neckline, complete with three tie front closures for an on-trend look. This design detail is one that won't be going out of style anytime soon, either, which means shoppers can wear it year-round. However, not everyone has been a fan of the trend. On the M&S jacket, one shopper commented: 'Who needs such fussy ties to close this top? This season seems full of them.' That said, others have left five star reviews, complimenting the shacket's 'good quality' and 'comfortable' feel. One wrote: 'The item was made of good quality fabric with an unusual closure but it was large. I usually take 18/20 and even the 16 was loose.' Another said: 'Great quality and design, comfortable to wear was a little unsure as shacket as have purchased one before and not altogether sold on these as really was not one thing or another but I would say this is a heavy denim shirt and a good spring top very intend with the tie front.' If the M&S tie-front shacket has whet your appetite for a new denim staple, but isn't quite for you, Boden's Denim Frill Collar Jacket costs £119 and is channeling Parisian vibes. The feminine ruffles are a dreamy touch that set it apart from other denim pieces on the high street. Alternatively, this ASOS DESIGN denim rugby top is on sale from £36 to £23.50. It has that same revere collar silhouette, but is ideal for wearing solo, accessorised with a satin neck tie. As for the M&S jacket, I paired it with the matching pinstripe jeans, however, I was a little bit let down by them. The quality and cut were spot on, but they appear to be a touch lighter than the top, and while most people wouldn't notice, it does bug me a little bit. It doesn't matter when wearing them as separates, but when opting for the full co-ord look, it would have been better if they were exactly the same shade. Another slight downside about the top is that the ties do occasionally need tightening throughout the day, but that's a minor inconvenience and wouldn't stop me from wearing it - especially considering how many compliments it's earned me. So while Denise Welch being a style icon may not have been on my 2025 bingo card, I must give credit where it's due because I haven't been able to stop wearing this jacket since I bought it. It's currently available in sizes 8-22 online, though some additional sizes could be found in store. It is roomy, so if you enjoy an oversized fit, I'd go for your usual size, but for a snugger silhouette, many will be able to afford sizing down.

EXCLUSIVE Meghan Markle is a 'fraud' who is 'milking' her fame from Prince Harry to 'sucker people' into buying her products, leading US brand experts claim
Meghan Markle is a 'fraud' and As Ever is all about 'milking' her fame from marrying Prince Harry to 'sucker people into buying her stuff', two of North America's leading brand experts have claimed. Canadian lawyer Phillip Millar and California marketing executive Camille Moore, stars of popular The Art of the Brand podcast, believe the launch and concept of her lifestyle business has been one of the worst they have ever seen. 'I love sh***ing on people who suck. Meghan Markle sucks as far as I'm concerned', Mr Millar has said. 'It [As Ever] is run by a confederacy of dunces working on this platform that is just getting maximising the value from her fame that came from Suits and being a part of the Royal Family and they're just milking that for everything they can'. Millar and Moore, who have advised big businesses including Mercedes-Benz, L'Oreal, Olaplex, Dior, Van Cleef and Air Canada, say Meghan's business has been a 'royal disaster'. Mr Millar believes that As Ever lacks authenticity because he claims that Meghan is 'pretending' to be a domestic goddess and most people don't believe it. But he added that the people who have rushed to buy her wine, jam, crepe mix and tea shows 'how gullible a lot of consumers are'. Canadian lawyer Phillip Millar and California marketing executive Camille Moore, stars of popular The Art of the Brand podcast, believe the launch and concept of her lifestyle business has been one of the worst they have ever seen He said: 'She's not substantial. I'm agitated by her so much because it is a deliberate misrepresentation of what she is because she thinks she can pretend to be that while actually being this and sucker people into buying her stuff and every step of the way she's failing because it's not legitimate. It's not intelligent. It's not well executed. 'There was nothing about her brand that was good from the start to a distinguishing eye. She was a fraud what I can see from the beginning who was just using opportunities to advance herself. Her brand wasn't one built on substance. It was based on using people. 'They're not executing anything well on any show on anything. But it shows how gullible a lot of consumers are'. Mr Millar said that investors including Netflix appear to have failed to ask serious questions of Meghan before the launch. 'People who consider themselves smart because nobody ever questions them are running this business and telling her to use a playbook that works for products where scarcity matters. Confectionery scarcity doesn't matter. He added: 'There's an egocentric approach to it that if you achieve some level of celebrity, you think you can build a brand, but that's the start of your brand. You can make short-term money from it, but it's not a long-term strategy'. Phillip believes Meghan has failed to see what she really is - a 'disruptor' rather than a homemaker. He said: 'Her brand should be I'm a disruptor. I go into TV. I make noise. I go into the Royal Family. I make noise. She should brand herself as a rebel, but she's not consistent with what she is. 'She should be a disruptor and sell products that are not that expensive and that represent disruption, but that audience is not spending a lot of money'. Ms Moore said Meghan is responsible 'for really probably having the worst brand execution to date', adding: 'She's had zero ownership in this business. It's effectively like she's just like labeling her brand'. She added: 'I feel like she's doing such a brutal or good job, depending on how you're looking at it, of getting this like free PR and then absolutely s***ing the bed'. When she started posting links on the ShopMy e-commerce site, some thought that this was going to prove an irresistible source of serious income for the Duchess of Sussex. It couldn't be easier, really – influencers link posts from their Instagram to the online shop, and then rake in a percentage of every item of clothing, make-up or homeware sold as a result. Some of the top creators make up to $1million (£740,000) a year with a cut of between 10 and 30 per cent per item, depending on the retailer. The 'creators' are ranked in a tiering visible only to other ShopMy entrepreneurs; the biggest earners are 'icons' and the lowliest ranking is 'enthusiast'. After an initial flurry on the site, in which she directed shoppers to the sweaters she wore in her Netflix show With Love, Meghan, the denim dress she wore on a 'date night' with Prince Harry to watch Beyonce and her make-up and hair favourites, Meghan has fallen silent. Indeed, she's not posted in over two months on ShopMy and it seems that her ranking has dropped from icon to enthusiast as a result. While she continues to appear regularly on her own Instagram page and that of her brand, As Ever, she or her team are not linking through for 'easy money'. A spokesman for the couple did not respond to requests for clarification but a source says that – however lucrative – this potential revenue stream is simply not important to her. 'Her current priorities are centred on As Ever and expanding her business ventures. ShopMy represents an exploration into social media that she enjoys.' The source adds: 'The duchess has consistently approached ShopMy with a focus on authentically sharing products and designers she supports, particularly female founders she wants to uplift.' The deal is then: Meghan doesn't need the money, because she's making plenty already. As speculation grows over the couple attempting to renew links to the UK – with two key members of the Sussex team meeting the King's aide, Tobyn Andreae, earlier this month, as revealed exclusively by The Mail on Sunday – it's intriguing to examine what commercial successes the couple have had since moving their lives to California. The bottom line, of course, has always been significant for both Harry and Meghan. As they seemingly make steps towards rebuilding bridges with the Royal Family, you have to ask: How would a rapprochement serve the Sussexes? And, more than this, might they need to make up with the King for financial reasons. After all, he used to fund his son Harry's life ... right down to a wardrobe allowance for his wife. People who know the Sussexes say the reopening of communications doesn't mean they're any less committed to life in Montecito. I'm told: 'They're very happy living in and raising their family in California and, as it stands, have no plans to leave. The duke will of course continue, as he has done since he emigrated, to visit the UK in support of his charitable causes and patronages.' Indeed, Montecito is the epicentre of how they are marketing themselves. Meghan's As Ever brand was originally known as American Riviera Orchard, after the area in which they live. Five months after Megxit in February 2020, the Sussexes bought their house in Montecito for $14.65million (£10,890,000). And it's that purchase which seems to have fired the starting gun on the Sussexes' endeavours. In their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey the following year, which took place while Meghan was pregnant with daughter Lilibet, Prince Harry reflected on their money-making activities to date. He said their deals with Netflix and Spotify had both been driven by financial necessity. The prince said he was cut off by his family in the first quarter of 2020, shortly after he and Meghan announced they would step back as senior members of the royals. He added that he still had the money left to him by his late mother, Princess Diana. 'Without that, we wouldn't have been able to do this,' he said, referring to the family's move to California. If Harry and Meghan had really been getting $100million over five years from Netflix at a steady rate of $20million a year, then you could consider it taken care of. But a source with knowledge of the Netflix deal say it's never worked out like that But even the reputed £10million left by Diana wouldn't be enough to buy his house and sustain their lifestyle for long. The couple are widely reported to have taken out a mortgage, with repayments apparently standing at $480,000 a year. On top of this, property tax will be a further $68,000 a year. Utilities are estimated at $24,000 a year, staffing costs $250,000 and security – always a priority for Prince Harry, who made two tours of duty in Afghanistan with the Army Air Corps – is said to cost up to $3million a year. It all adds up to needing to clear around $4million a year after tax, which is quite a task. Sources also indicate that the price Harry and Meghan pay to run their Archewell production company is significant, 'probably $3million a year, which as an overhead commitment is quite big by Hollywood standards', though some of those costs come out of charity funds. If Harry and Meghan had really been getting $100million over five years from Netflix at a steady rate of $20million a year, then you could consider it taken care of. But a source with knowledge of the Netflix deal say it's never worked out like that. They said: 'From speaking to someone with knowledge of the deal, it looks like they've probably managed to maybe keep $10million-$15million or a touch more purely for themselves over the nearly five years so far – not bad business, but that kind of money doesn't last long with their lifestyle. 'Netflix paid for the production of [the tell-all hit documentary series] Harry & Meghan, which would have included a big fee for them. 'I'd guess [the money Netflix spent on it] works out at $20million all-in. 'Netflix haven't done too badly out of the relationship in as much as they've probably only gone out of pocket to the tune of around $40million or thereabouts, and they did at least get a huge hit documentary out of the investment, and a less successful show in With Love, Meghan. 'The whole arrangement was basically a trade-off for Netflix getting the Harry & Meghan documentary and they will regard it as a modest win.'
