Duchess of Edinburgh's designer wedding day perfume is now £30 thanks to Amazon half-price 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."

Light sleepers and insomnia sufferers snap up 'godsend' Amazon gadget now £18
Shoppers claim the Amazon device has greatly improved their sleep, and it's now on sale with 38% off There's nothing more frustrating than spending hours tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep. Light sleepers and insomnia sufferers have been piling the praise on a White and Brown Noise Machine that they claim has greatly improved their sleep. Customers have been snapping up the nifty device that's currently slashed from its original price of £29.99 to £18.54 (price correct at time of writing). This soothing gadget needs to be plugged in to operate, and once its on, offers a choice of 30 calming sounds including white noise, pink noise and brown noise. It also boasts a variety of fan noises, both loud and soft, lullabies and 15 natural sounds such as rain and birdsong. Adding a touch of ambient charm, the white noise device also features 12 colour options including 'soft lighting', perfect for creating a cosy sleep environment. The device can play continuously or be set for 1-4 hours, making it ideal for naps, meditation and sleep. Meanwhile, for those seeking a baby-specific gadget, Boots is offering the Momcozy WN03 White Noise Machine for £29.99. Shoppers have praised this device for its 'great volume' and 'variety of sounds'. However, it offers less options than the Amazon gadget, with a total of 20 sounds. Superdrug is selling a Lifemax Sound Night Light for £33.99, which also offers 20 different sounds. According to the product description, these sounds include 'nature' and 'tranquil' compositions. Nearly 9,000 Amazon shoppers have reviewed the white noise machine to date, awarding it a respectable 4.2 out of five. One reviewer shared: "I am a light sleeper. Recently I learned that brown noise can help me sleep more soundly through the night. I ordered this brown noise machine to see if it would reduce my insomnia. It works! "I sleep more soundly, and wake refreshed. The machine offers a large variety of sounds to play, as well as different coloured lights. I have only tried brown noise, and my sleep has greatly improved." Another customer commented: "I use it for brown noise since developing insomnia and it really helps! I hope it helps everyone who tries it because not sleeping is terrible." A satisfied parent wrote: "This white noise machine is amazing! I've used it for my baby for months now and it works a treat. It plays for ages and really blocks out any other noise in the house." However, there was less positive feedback for the white noise machine from a user who noted the device's longevity, saying: "This was perfect. Plenty of noises and settings to suit. After only eight weeks of use, it no longer works." In contrast, another shopper expressed their delight, writing: "A godsend at blocking out noise from the outdoors in summer... Birds, neighbours, dogs... And a snoring wife."

2 . Aaron Taylor-Johnson - 10/3 Aaron Taylor-Johnson had previously been favourite to become the next Bond for months, following news reports that he had agreed to play the iconic role. There's been silence since though, and the lack of an official announcement has cast doubt on his involvement - particularly since Amazon took over creative control of the franchaise. Best known for playing the title character in the 'Kick-Ass' films, Taylor-Johnson also starred opposite Brad Pitt in 'Bullet Train' and is in cinemas at the moment with horror sequel '28 Years Later'. He's now drifted out to second favourite - priced at 10/3 to step into 007's shoes. |

And our berry bushes in our gardens are at their most productive. If you've been cultivating strawberries, or you've got a bulbous raspberry bush, or even if you just enjoy foraging for blackberries, it's a lovely time of year for fresh fruit. Even if you just lap up some lovely punnets from your local greengrocer or supermarket, a great way to consume this summer treat is to blend it up into a smoothie. The Ninja Blast is easy to clean, and the top half becomes a beaker | Amazon Add a bit of milk, bung in your berries, and whisk them into oblivion. And bargain blenders don't come much better than this Ninja Blast, which has a massive discount on Amazon at the moment. It's actually the cheapest we've seen it for a long time, and you can buy one for £31.20, which is thanks to a 38% saving. Importantly, you only get the saving if you pick the Forest Green or Cranberry Red versions - the others either aren't available, or aren't discounted. Smoothies are a great way to get your vitamin intake | Amazon In case you've tried a portable blender before and were a bit underwhelmed by it, you're not alone. Cheap ones can be rubbish. But we've tested the Ninja Blast, and it's brilliant at what it does. It's actually one of the only battery-powered blenders that actually works. The cheaper ones tend to be far too gutless. This is a limited-time deal on Amazon, and we don't know how long stocks will last for so, if you're tempted to get the best out of the summer berries, snap one up while you still can.
