Duchess of Edinburgh's designer wedding day perfume is now £30 thanks to Amazon half-price sale
The Duchess of Edinburgh is said to have worn this designer scent on her wedding day– and Amazon is now offering it at a discount in its beauty sale
Fragrance lovers will be happy to hear that the Amazon beauty sale is blessing us with an irresistible offer – a substantial £36.79 off on designer Ralph Lauren's Romance Eau De Parfum. This scent isn't just any fragrance; it's said to be particularly dear to Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
The Duchess has reportedly been enamoured with this 'ageless' aroma for ages, even picking it for her 1999 wedding to Prince Edward. Now, you can nab the 50ml bottle for £30.79 on Amazon, a total bargain when contrasted with Boots' £66.40 or Debenhams' £68 sticker prices.
A The People article from 1999 divulged that the Duchess selected this perfume for her grand entrance as a bride, noting: "No bride would be dressed without a light spray of perfume and Sophie chose the appropriately named Romance by Ralph Lauren which is fruity and subtly sexy."
Featuring top notes of spicy pink pepper, rose, and jasmine, and a base that blends smooth woods, oak moss, and sophisticated musks, Ralph Lauren's Romance emanates a distinctly feminine, floral bouquet enveloped in a warm, inviting aura. For those looking to emulate the olfactory style of the Princess of Wales, rumour has it that Kate treasures Jo Malone Orange Blossom Eau de Cologne Spray. Perfect for fans of fruity or floral scents, a 30ml bottle is available from LookFantastic at £55.
If you're looking for a different option, Marc Jacobs' Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum is now on sale at LookFantastic with a 20% discount, priced at £68. This fragrance features notes of banana blossom and jasmine.
Ralph Lauren's Romance perfume has a devoted fan base, with many leaving rave reviews. One enthusiast gushed: "One of my favourite fragrances. I can not stay away for long. It reminds me of a garden full of roses."
Another loyal customer revealed: "I have been using this perfume for five years. Sometimes I try new ones, but I always come back to my romance. It has a very subtle fresh smell. It stays for a long period of time,".
A different fan added: "I always have a bottle handy, each and every time I wear it I get compliments galore, remember the same perfume does not always smell the same on different people. Sometimes I spray too much as I can never smell perfume on myself but I get a response every time I use this which is mostly daily, I buy other perfumes but always seem to go back to this one. I have told family and friends don't waste your money buying me perfume unless it's romance."
However, not everyone was won over by the scent's intensity, with some critics mentioning its lack of longevity. A reviewer shared: "Really like the smell, it's refreshing and light but it is not long lasting. So I notice I'm dousing myself in the morning but by midday the smell is very faint."
Over on another corner of the web, a delighted customer penned a rave review, enthusing: "A beautiful fragrance that has resulted in people standing close to me asking what perfume I am wearing and from where did I purchase from."

Jeremy Clarkson's daughter made Lisa Hogan 'burst into tears'
The 51-year-old former model and co-star on Amazon's Clarkson's Farm opened up about her life with the ex-Top Gear host, revealing that despite not being engaged, their blended family shares a close bond. Lisa explained that Emily, a social media influencer and author, has previously spoken about her own daughter in such a kind way in the past. I've said it before, but I think Clarkson's Farm is my favourite show of the past 5 years. It's funny and engaging, you learn a heap, and it's done such a great job on showing the world the plight of farmers and how essential they are. And, of course, Jezza is Jezza ❤️ She said: "Emily has this podcast called Shall I Delete That? and she spoke about my daughter in such a sweet way that I burst out crying. They've known each other for nine years, and I think they really care about each other." She also gave insights into Jeremy's personality away from the cameras, describing him as endlessly curious and brimming with energy, even over the smallest things. When discussing the prospect of marriage, Lisa expressed contentment with their relationship as it is, telling the Daily Mail: "Mrs Clarkson? No, thank you, I like Lisa Hogan. "We decided not to have children together." "We're at a stage where we are not going to have kids. I'm just happy pootling along. I think because of our age, it's much easier." Recommended reading: As the new series of Clarkson's Farm hits the screens, Jeremy's health sparked even more concern following his heart surgery last year to fit two stents. Reflecting on the latest episodes, Jeremy observed how he appeared increasingly unwell as the series went on. Speaking to The Sun, Jeremy said: "You can see me becoming more and more ill as the days go on, because I just lose my sense of humour, lose my ability to stay calm. "I get in a proper old panic. I didn't know at the time. I knew I wasn't being me. Because if you don't sleep, it very quickly has an effect."
