'Gorgeous and long lasting' perfume axed to £10 at Boots as shoppers stock up for Christmas
Boots has slashed the price on a 'gorgeous' perfume, which customers say 'lasts all day', to just £10. Usually £28, Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy Eau de Parfum 30ml has been cut by £18, saving 64% on the RRP.
The reduction is part of the retailer's weekly £10 Tuesday event, which sees prices cut on numerous items for one day only. The fragrance boasts top notes of black cherry, framboise and plum, with middle notes of freesia, night orchid and iris, whilst the base notes are amber, musk and vanilla.
Released in 2006, the perfume is 'nostalgic' and is said to be a more 'sophisticated twist' on the original Fantasy fragrance. It's a popular affordable fragrance for gifting, and the new lower price could save shoppers money on Christmas gifts.
But it's not the only budget-friendly, gifting-ready scent available at a discount. On Amazon, Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Eau de Parfum for Women 30ml has been reduced by 65% from £25 to £10.10.
Usually £66, Vera Wang Princess for Women Eau de Toilette 100ml has been reduced to £26. It's described as a 'sheer, fruity floral perfume' with notes of vanilla, exotic flowers and fruits. Meanwhile, the Calvin Klein Eternity Moment for Women Eau de Parfum 50ml, which was £59 but is currently £29.50 at Boots, features notes of bergamot, white lily, and white rose finish with spicy tones of sandalwood.
The Britney Spears perfume boasts an overall online rating of 4.6 stars, with numerous glowing reviews. One said: "Gorgeous and long lasting smell for any age type. Recommend."
Another added: "Great smelling perfume, scent lasts all day will purchase again,' while a third review read: "It's a very good perfume. It has a really nice and heavenly scent to it and lasts quite long."
However, some shoppers claimed the fragrance didn't last very long, with one person writing: "This smells lovely but only lasts about an hour - very disappointed but I suppose you get what you pay for."
Another added: "This product has a lovely scent however may not last for more than four hours so for those looking for a strong scent this may not be the scent to go for."
Despite these concerns, many customers still praised the perfume. One shopper said: "I've recently rediscovered this after a long time, as it was a staple fragrance in my teen years. Smells just how I remember it. Fruity and sweet. It last for ages, especially when sprayed on clothes."
One customer wrote: "Purchased as a Christmas present for a friend, she loves this perfume so it will be a lovely surprise for her."
Another added: "One of my all time favourite perfumes, scent lasts all day. Will purchase again."

‘Vicious' Meg is trying to one-up Kate with money-grabbing Netflix deal but it WON'T work, expert slams
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MEGHAN Markle has been labelled as "vicious" amid her latest venture - as her "Christmas special" clashes with Princess Kate's beloved holiday concert. Season 2 of Meghan's controversial cookery show will drop later this month - after she and Harry signed their latest deal with the streamer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Season 2 of Meghan's controversial cookery show will drop later this month Credit: Netflix 6 With Love, Meghan was blasted for being out of touch Credit: Netflix 6 Her Christmas Special may clash with Kate's holiday concert Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The couple announced yesterday they had signed a new "multi-year, first look deal" with the American streaming giant to produce "film and television projects" - despite doubts being cast on their future. The deal is a "downgraded" version of the couple's original $100million contract - with the US streaming giant only approving projects it likes. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex previously released a number of shows on the platform, including a 2022 documentary on their lives and Meghan's lifestyle show With Love, Meghan this year. But one show already earmarked to feature as part of the new deal is Meghan's own 'holiday special' this December. This will clash with the Princess of Wales' annual Christmas carol concert. Kate Middleton's annual Together At Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey is usually a heartfelt and profound end to the year. Royal Expert Hugo Vickers said the Christmas crossover is another example of Meghan trying to 'cap' her sister-in-law's work. This is especially harsh given how Kate's TV special celebrates charity work and is done for the benefit of 'the rest of the world' - rather than 'vicious' Meghan's need to keep 'money coming in'. He told The Sun: "It's always said that whenever Catherine the Princess of Wales starts something that Meghan Markle does something else to cap it, or in some ways clash with it. "Maybe that is the case. Obviously, there are lots of Christmas shows around Christmas. Harry & Meghan were 'not in a strong position' & signed Netflix deal for 'much less'… TV giant 'did it for publicity' "Having said that, of course, the initiative of the Princess of Wales at Westminster Abbey is incredibly moving and incredibly special, and is done for the benefit of the rest of the world, for all the people who've been suffering, all the people who've helped with charities, all that sort of thing, so it's all for the public good. "And I'm not quite convinced that Meghan Markle is going to be dissecting some more petals and scattering them over salads, or whatever she's going to be doing in California, is in quite the same league. "I can see how a Christmas special on the cards. "It's a bit like Downton Abbey, which ran and ran and ran and always had a Christmas special, which people tuned into." Hugo added: "Obviously Netflix is a very hard-nosed business operation, and they won't have taken them on just out of charity, or they obviously think it's worthwhile. And of course, she does have an enormous number of followers. "The one great thing that Harry and Meghan have in their favour is that anything they do, however trivial, seems to attract a lot of publicity, which must surely be good for Netflix. "They've got to rely on things like this, because they lead such an expensive lifestyle. And they just need money coming in, because the money must be pouring out." It comes after Newsweek's royal editor Jack Royston claimed the "rivalry" between Kate and Meghan is still going strong. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Jack shared: 'There was 100 per cent definitely a massive rivalry between the Sussexes and the Waleses dating back to when they were sharing a private office at Kensington Palace. 'And this sort of thing, you would absolutely cut and dry say, was a 100 per cent massive rivalry.' Both Meghan and Kate proudly shared photos of their kids artwork on social media in the same week - Kate posting on the Monday, and Meghan on the Thursday. One person commented: "She's so ever, a copycat!" And in an explosive tell-all chat with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan later claimed it was Kate that made her cry just days before her wedding. Previously, it was claimed Meghan left Kate in tears over her demands for Princess Charlotte's dress. In the announcement of the Netflix deal extension, Meghan said in a statement: 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand. "My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.' Hugo said the announcement seemed "very Meghan-centric", leading on her ventures and only referring to Harry as her "husband". What appears to be his personal passion project was mentioned later on, a short film called "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within". 'Meghan & Harry need to come up with a hit soon' By Matt Wilkinson JUST when you thought it was safe to turn the telly on again... Harry and Meghan are back. And their multi-year renewal with Netflix means they are not going away anytime soon. There have been tense negotiations in recent weeks but Netflix is so deeply involved with Meghan's As Ever brand it was always likely that the streaming giants would want them back. Make no mistake, Harry and Meghan would have been desperate for the deal to be renewed. They will likely be opening a bottle or two of As Ever Rose in Montecito. Because they have invested heavily in Archewell Productions and getting on board with Netflix is central not only to their post-Royal endeavours but more importantly crucial to their bank accounts. If they lost their Netflix money then how could they afford their life in the US? While the length of the deal or how much the couple are getting paid is vague we do know that Meghan will appear in a 'holiday special' in December that will likely clash with the Princess of Wales's annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey. And finally, two years after I revealed in The Sun the couple had bought the rights to the book Meet Me At The Lake, production is in active development. Sources close to the couple are coy about whether Harry or Meghan will appear on screen for the production of Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within which will air later this year. But perhaps the best piece of news from the announcement is no repeat of the six-part documentary which dumped on the Royal Family. However, 'Harry & Meghan' was a ratings dream and none of their projects since have been anywhere as successful. They need to come up with a hit soon. And this 'first look' deal means Netflix has the first option on new projects from the couple without any guaranteed commitment. But remember the Sussexes are not the only Royals to be in bed with Netflix. The King will feature in a documentary on The King's Foundation with Idris Elba. It will look at Uganda's Masaka region and the HIV/AIDS crisis there. This has echoes of Harry's mum Diana's work, who changed the world's view about HIV and Aids. Hugo commented: "His skill, of course, is totally different. He was trained to do things for the Army, the Commonwealth, Invictus Games, all those sort of things, which he's actually very good at, and that's where his skills should be used. "She is more of a red carpet Hollywood person, and so I'm not surprised at all that he is only a kind of walk-on part, but she needs him there every now and again. "As you will have seen if you watch the cookery programs, he has to come in at the end, you know, with a with a grin to show that he's onside about it. "And again, in the awful Oprah Winfrey interview, he was wheeled in at the end so that we knew that he knew about it. "So, husband? Yep, that's what it is. He is the husband of Meghan Markle now." Asked if he thinks Harry will make an appearance in Meghan's Season 2, he said: "He probably will. He usually does. He does what he's told." Hugo wishes Harry would do more charitable work and raise awareness of good causes, which would be more in line with the work of the Royal Family. "I'm all for him doing things for Uganda and for other countries like that. I wish he'd do more of it, because he's very good at it, he's very good at it, and he does attract attention to it, to these different enterprises. "Our royal family all are always doing things for the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, and they aren't seeking to do things for themselves, whereas Harry and Meghan are doing things for themselves. "If he can focus attention on issues in Uganda... That's what he's good at, and that's what he should do much more of, and I think we would greatly respect him if he did." Speaking about the contrast between Meghan's cookery show and Harry's more serious short film, Hugo said: "They are two very different people. "There's a huge contrast between focusing on issues that need to be thought about in Uganda, and being all sort of lovey in the kitchen. "We would take her happy kitchen life much more seriously if we hadn't seen the other Meghan in the Oprah interview. "We've seen how vicious she can be, which is the real Meghan Markle? "The one with the black eyeliner, spitting venom and fury against the royal family, or the one chopping up the petals and scattering them on the salads." He also slammed the show as out-of-touch - wondering if Meghan will heed the backlash to her first season. Across eight 33-minute episodes the mum-of-two made cringe jokes about her bacon, shared recipes with pals, learnt from celeb chefs and even became emotional over bees. But less than an hour after the release, harsh viewers already left scathing criticism. One penned on X: "I'm not even 30 seconds into the first episode and I already know that With Love, Meghan is the FAKESTEST stuff ever." Another added: "Six minutes of with love Meghan... ok only for richest bye bye." "All of Meghan Markle's 'recipes' can be found on Pinterest," claimed someone else. Hugo added: "I don't know about you, but you don't normally wear a white dress in the kitchen, and you usually have an apron of any sort. "It all looked a bit fake. It wasn't even her kitchen anyway. It all looks so easy, and it, yeah, it's out of touch, it's just not relevant. "And there are other people who are professional chefs who are very much better at it." The Sun approached Archewell for comment. 6 Meghan has carried out a number of business ventures this year Credit: Instagram 6 It is yet to be revealed whether Harry will appear in Season 2 Credit: BackGrid

Kevin Bridges devastated following death of the 'best wee dog there ever was'
The comic adopted her from the Dogs Trust in 2014 after she was found abandoned on a street in Ireland. Kevin Bridges has paid tribute to his "best wee" rescue dog following her sad passing. In 2014, the Glasgow comic adopted Labrador Annie, who he credited with helping him think of new stand-up material, from the Dogs Trust after she was found abandoned on a street in Ireland. The 38-year-old took to Instagram to share the sad news of the death of his "wee pal" and pay tribute to their bond, reports Glasgow Live. In a post, he wrote: "Annie, the best wee dog there ever was. My wee pal who made so many people happy and made strangers smile every day. "Thank you to the Dogs Trust Glasgow for ever introducing us. What a life." Replying to his post, the Dogs Trust said: "So very sorry to see this Kevin. Thank you for giving Annie such a loving home and for your support." Members of the public also offered their condolences to the legendary Glasgow funny man. One person wrote: "Sorry for loss, dogs are more than pets they are family members." A second added: "They absolutely leave us too soon and take a piece of your heart when they do. So sorry for your loss. I lost my two maremmas within weeks of each other recently but a foster boy saved me as much as I saved him. Keep your heart open and anything can happen." A third said: "I'm so sorry Kevin, sending you loads of love. What a gorgeous, good girl." In the lead-up to Christmas, in a separate incident, we reported that Kevin Bridges made a generous festive donation of £20k to Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) who run Rachel House in Kinross. CHAS thanked the Clydebank comic and his wife Kerry for making the donation to the charity prior to Christmas. The charity's Christmas Appeal aimed to raise vital funds to help give the gift of time and precious memories to families of dying children. Kevin said: 'As parents ourselves now, the hearts of my wife and I go out more than ever to everyone at Robin House, Rachel House and all the children and families supported by CHAS services across Scotland.' CHAS CEO Rami Okasha said: 'Kevin has visited our children's hospice, Robin House at Balloch several times over the years and his ongoing support is hugely appreciated. 'Each week in Scotland three children die from an incurable condition and CHAS can only be there for families with the support of kind donations like this. "No one should have to face the death of a child alone and we provide unwavering care to children who may die young and their families, at every step on this hardest of journeys. 'Fundraising support makes a huge difference to children and families helping us to reach every family across Scotland who needs our care.' Kevin also made personal donations to six other charities - West Dunbartonshire Community Foodshare, the youth charity Y Sort It, Bags Full of Love West Dunbartonshire, Improving Lives, Launch Foods and DRC Youth Project in Glasgow.
