Boots reduces 'clean and fresh' 200ml aftershave in 50% off deal for Father's Day
With Father's Day just over a week away, those in search of the perfect present may want to check out a deal on a "classic" aftershave at Boots. Customers adore this aftershave for both daytime and evening wear. It comes in a substantial bottle that's bound to last, and it is now available for a fraction of its usual cost, too. All sizes of Rabanne Invictus Eau De Toilette ( 50ml / 100ml ) are on offer, but the 200ml bottle is the real star of this offer. It's currently half its regular £129 price tag (now £64.50), and it's going through at the checkout much cheaper than the 100ml bottle, which is priced at £79. Boots has not given a clear time on how long this online-exclusive deal for the "ultimate clean fragrance" will last. However, the website indicates high demand, with scores of shoppers viewing and purchasing the product, so people should not wait to secure their bottle. For those seeking a premium aftershave at a more affordable price, there are plenty of other deals around. Superdrug is offering BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette (200ml for £52, reduced from £119) or The Fragrance Shop has Gucci Guilty Essence (90ml for £44.99, down from £97). However, Boots stands out as the retailer with one of the biggest discounts on the popular Rabanne scent. It boasts thousands of reviews from customers, with many giving it the maximum five-star rating, reports the Mirror. (Image: Boots) One reviewer said: "This is a lovely and wonderfully-smelling scent to give as a gift." Another added: "Definitely my favourite with how clean and fresh it makes you smell all day long." A third posted: "Great value for money! Amazing smell and an absolute classic." Paco Rabanne first released the Invictus fragrance back in 2013. The popular scent has since evolved with body sprays and shower gels to match the notes of fresh grapefruit, marine accord and guaiac wood. However, some customers had issues with the scent. One claimed: "I was very disappointed with this scent. It was extremely weak and you could hardly know it was on". Another suggested: "Not strong. The smell isn't very noticeable after 20 mins". A third said that "it smelled like soap". (Image:) But, another person who granted the fragrance a top rating commented: "The quality is amazing, this has a fresh smell and it lasts all day." A fifth five-star reviewer said: "It's perfect! It smells nice and is perfect! Can be used both during the day and in the evening. It is long-lasting." Boots has a range of other fragrance deals that might pique interest if people are considering gifting their dads a bottle of aftershave this Father's Day. Our shopping team recently spotlighted a 'bargain' Calvin Klein spray worth £70 that has been reduced to £28. Another popular gift idea is a watch-it can be cherished for years to come and doesn't have to break the bank. Debenhams recently slashed the price of this 'stylish' £510 watch to £79 just in time for Father's Day.

Adjoa Andoh Q&A: 'Life is a miracle – don't waste it on not being yourself'
Illustration by Kristian Hammerstad Adjoa Andoh was born in Bristol in 1963. As a stage actor she has played lead roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and on screen made her Hollywood debut in Invictus (2009). Since 2020 she has played Lady Danbury in the Netflix series Bridgerton. Andoh is a supporter of the Multibank charity initiative. What's your earliest memory? Sitting on the floor in the kitchen of our flat in Leeds and looking up at my mum by the sink with the window's light behind her. It was before my brother was born, so I was maybe two years old. Who are your heroes? Pippi Longstocking is my childhood hero. I wore red tights on my head to be her – a bold, brave girl who had adventures! My adult hero is Nelson Mandela. During apartheid-era South Africa, my Ghanaian-English family was illegal. What book last changed your thinking? Virginia Axline's Dibs in Search of Self. It was the book chosen by Harriett Gilbert, the presenter of Radio 4's A Good Read. I was a guest. Axline, a psychologist, wrote it in the Sixties about a five-year-old-boy she was treating. It made me really think about the profound impact our adult behaviours have on the psyches of small children. What political figure do you look up to? Again, Nelson Mandela. Someone very human – full of joy, anger, appetite, self-doubt; making his life one of brilliant strategy, patience and self-sacrifice in the service of freedom for all people. His humanity is all the more courageous, because more touching. What would be your Mastermind specialist subject? Advert jingles from the late Sixties, early Seventies – the bar is not high! In which time and place, other than your own, would you like to live? There is no other time I'd prefer – are you kidding? We have anaesthetics, contraception, indoor plumbing, the vote and a general acceptance that all human beings are of equal value – although that last is frequently tested. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe What TV show could you not live without? The American sitcom series Black-ish, created by Kenya Barris. Who would paint your portrait? Lucian Freud. What's your theme tune? Currently 'Marching on Together', the anthem of Leeds United Football Club. But eternally, Roberta Flack's version of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? It was from my brother: lean into the yes of no because life is a miracle; blink and it's gone; don't waste it on not being you. I am trying to follow it and failing daily. What's currently bugging you? The fear and the unthought-of damage the Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of a woman is immediately causing in the lives of our vulnerable trans population. What single thing would make your life better? Peace. When were you happiest? Taking the curtain call at the press night of Stuff Happens by David Hare at the National Theatre in 2004. I played Condoleezza Rice. Seeing David Hare's Plenty in 1979 made me want to be an actor. In that 2004 curtain call, I felt I had landed where I was built to be. In another life, what job might you have chosen? I would have been an architect. Are we all doomed? No. Human beings are built for hope. It is why we love a sunrise and blossom in the spring, and cry at kindness.

The best outdoor cinema in London
Helping replace Canary Wharf's corporate image with something fun and family-friendly, Canada Square Park will be screening movies and sporting events up on its big screens this summer. There's a packed programme of free movies, taking in everything from 'Mrs Doubtfire' (June 15), to ' Invictus ' (September 23). There are two Bollywood movies on the bill, too – sci-fi action thriller ' (July 15) and life-affirming vacation film 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' (August 3). It's very much a BYO set-up, so bring your own blankets and snacks – though there's a Waitrose nearby for any last-minute picnic needs.
