Boots knocks 50% off designer scent dads wear 'all the time'
'My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice' Boots shopper are snapping up a half price fragrance in time for Father's Day and it has rave reviews. Jimmy Choo Man Blue is usually £78 a bottle but has dropped down to £39 for a 100ml bottle. It opens up with notes of lavender, black pepper, clary sage and bergamot before settling into a heart of ambergris, leather, cypress, apple and pineapple. There's a warm base of vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli. It's a great option for fans of Eros by Versace (£39.99 for 30ml) who are looking for a slightly better value product. The scent has also proven popular with those who enjoy Explorer by Montblanc (£39 for 30ml). Man Blue has brought in an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 100 reviews, with 98% of shoppers saying that they would recommend it. One wrote: "This is by far my favourite scent whether it be for everyday use or special occasion. This is gonna be my signature scent! This one was love at first sniff." Another swears it's a compliment magnet, writing: "This perfume is fantastic! It has the perfect combo of sweet and spicy scent. I've worn it several times now and I get at least 3 compliments every time! Highly recommend!" A disappointed shopper found the longevity lacking, penning: "I want to love it. It has a great scent. It's on par for what I like. My biggest gripe is that it fades fast. I out this on around 8am and by noon you can barely tell. Unlike the others I have that last all day. If it lasted longer I give it five stars." Jimmy Choo Man Blue £78.00 £39.00 Boots Buy Now on Boots Product Description It is worth noting that the application of a fragrance can impact the longevity of it. For those looking for a more impressive finish we would advise spraying each pulse point at least once. Another happy customer shared a bottle with their father, saying: "This smelled of delicious powder and lavender. Was great for day or night. My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice!"

Tom Daley collaborates with Reiss on an exclusive collection to celebrate Pride
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Tom Daley has made it known he has a keen interest in knitting, after previously being spotted sitting poolside with knitting needles in hand. Fast forward a few years and the Olympian has partnered with fashion house Reiss on an exclusive Pride Collection, which centres around love, pride and his love of the water. The 15-piece collection is a unisex capsule of embroidered, knitted, and printed clothes that boast a relaxed fit – plus a cupid of sequin items too, for good measure. While some items are embroidered with 'Lover' on, others feature heart-shaped motifs to honour Pride. As the collection honours Tom's aquatic career it's unsurprising the clothing range is centred around a blue colour scheme – makes sense – as well as waterfall sequins and wave patterned knits. Speaking about the partnership, Tom shared: 'My inspiration for designing the Reiss x Tom Daley collection were some of my favourite things – water and the craft of knitting. Sequins really spoke to me when it came to knitting as they bounce light off the piece, as you would see if you were looking on the surface of the water. I love texture and elements that look hand-finished, such as blanket stitching, and it was really important to me to include these little details in the collection.' More Trending This collection pays extra attention to detail as the label on each item has been created by LGBTQ+ artist Richard Kilroy, and it features an abstract image of two swimmers in a pool. From chunky knitwear, crochet designs to denim jackets, co-ords, cardigans and polo tops, this collection is ideal for the summer season. Shop a full outfit from the line, or specific staples to weave into your existing collection. What we love most is the Pride Collection will see proceeds donated to Rainbow Railroad charity, which provides support and safety to the LGBTQ+ community worldwide. The Reiss x Tom Daley collection is available to shop online and in stores at Reiss now, so what are you waiting for?

Map reveals the most up-and-coming sex positions in major UK cities
If your arsenal of sex positions is limited to missionary, doggy style and cowgirl, it might be time to spice it up. And for a little inspiration, why not look to the up-and-coming sex position people in your city are most excited to try? Lloyd's Pharmacy recently shared data on the positions becoming more and more popular in each location – and as well as putting this into map form, we've also got step-by-step guides to put them into action. While Scottish cities are searching for 'the crab', England leans towards the likes of 'the bridge' and 'the ballet dancer', and Northern Ireland is all about 'the cross'. Keen to know what your neighbours are up to between the sheets? Read on… Kicking things off with the capital, Londoners are building themselves up to try 'the bridge' position, which has seen a 585% increase in searches over the past year. It's equally popular in Birmingham, Nottingham, Southampton, and Bristol, where interest has gone up by 417%, 400%, 350%, and 317% respectively. Love reading juicy stories like this? Need some tips for how to spice things up in the bedroom? Sign up to The Hook-Up and we'll slide into your inbox every week with all the latest sex and dating stories from Metro. We can't wait for you to join us! A word of warning though, this one is not for the weak. Think of the bridge pose in yoga – where you lie flat on your back with your knees bent, arching your back and lifting your bottom so only your shoulders and feet touch the floor. This is the position the receiver should take, with the penetrating partner kneeling between their legs and going for it, while supporting the other's hips. It's a great way to work on your core strength and get your orgasm – especially if you like deep penetration. If you're in a bit of a pinch when it comes to sexy inspiration, look no further than 'the crab'. Searches for this position have increased by 300% in Glasgow, with its neighbour Edinburgh also seeing a 200% rise. However, the only English city that was nearly as keen to walk side-to-side was Liverpool, with searches for the position going up by 100%. The crab is a pleasurable twist on cowgirl — but it comes with a side of potential injury unless you're careful. Because of the way you're bending your bodies, this position requires a good deal of 'penile flexibility'. It's also vital not to make any sharp, sudden movements. To get into place, the penetrating partner lies down on their back. Easy. The receiver gets on top and inserts the penis or dildo inside themselves, before slowly leaning back and supporting themselves by extending both arms behind them. Alternatively, the person on top can rest their hands on the bed or on their partner's knees, or for extra support get them to bend their knees as a sort of back rest. Then, simply grind or thrust as desired. In Newcastle there's been a whopping 600% increase in searches for 'the ballet dancer' sex position. And Cardiff is also giving it a whirl. Now, as its name would suggest, it requires some balance. The receiving partner should be stood up with their back against the wall for support, while the penetrating partner stands in front of them. Then, the receiver should raise one leg (either is fine) and hook it as high as possible around their partner, ideally around their lower back region. The penetrating partner can hold the hooked leg to help support their partner while they thrust. But if there's a big height difference between the two of you, you might want to do this one on your tiptoes. There was only one city where 'the butterfly' sex position was top, and that's Norwich – which is also where the most people are looking to get divorced, so make of that what you will. It's easy enough to do. The receiving partner lays on their back at the edge of the bed, while the penetrating partner stands in front of them on the floor. The receiving partner's legs then rest on the penetrating partner's shoulders, while they thrust. Simple. Brighton and Reading are more inclined for the 'edge of bed' position, with search increasing by 300% and 500% respectively. This is similar to the butterfly, only instead of the receiving partner having their legs resting on the penetrating partner's shoulders, they're dangling off the bed. 'The reason this is a great position is it's really adaptable for people of different heights, plus it's great for deep penetration,' certified sex and relationships psychotherapist Gigi Engle, for tells Metro. 'It's also a great lazy girl position, plus you can easily use sex toys while having penetrative sex.' 'The G-wiz' (aka the G-whiz or G-whizz) is hitting the spot for Manchester residents right now, as searches for the position increased by 300% last year. This is also a lot like the butterfly, with the receiver in the exact same position. The difference here is the penetrating partner kneels on the bed (rather than standing to the side of it) and thrusts in that way. As the name suggests, it's especially great for G-spot stimulation, and can be modified to all penis sizes by putting a pillow underneath the receiving partner's bum. Some can find it a little intense though, so it's a good idea to start off gently and build to your preferred depth and speed. If you're partial to a twist on a classic, you'll love this as much as they do in Belfast, where search for 'the cross' sex position increased by 500%. There are two ways to master it – from behind or face-to-face – with each option making your bodies look a bit like an 'X' from above (although neither should be confused with 'the windmill') To get into place for the first variation, the receiving partner should lay on their front on the bed with their legs slightly spread, while the penetrating partner lays at a 45 degree angle to their partner on top, thrusting from behind. For the second the penetrating partner should lay on their back, facing their hips to one side slightly. Meanwhile, the receiver lays at a 90 degree angle to them, raising their legs to allow for entry — and keeping their hands free to wander elsewhere. This is what it says on the tin to be honest. And it's Sheffield that seems to suddenly be extra excited about face sitting, with a 300% search increase. More Trending Gigi explains this is a great position both to achieve female orgasm and also to engage in some light BDSM when it comes to the woman dominating their partner. 'It's important to remember here that you shouldn't fully sit on someone's face, you don't want to suffocate anyone,' she says. 'You should be hovering over their face or sitting back more on their chest but you should communicate during both to see what's the most comfortable.' View More » Sheffielders, take note.
