Boots cuts 50% off 'feminine' luxury summer perfume hailed as 'one of the best'
This floriental perfume just launched in 2024, but it's already making waves among beauty buffs.
Summer perfumes are often quite playful and refreshing. Whether going on vacation or heading out for the evening, it's handy to have one go-to scent for the entire season.
Since many bottles offer the familiar notes of floral bouquets and zesty fruits, there's a ton to choose from. However, for anyone looking for something new this year, we have spotted one that only recently launched - and it's already been hailed as "one of the best."
It's the Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Nude Eau De Parfum (50ml) that made its debut in 2024. Already a hit with perfume fans, it's a soft and gentle floriental musk scent that is already making waves in the perfume industry.
For those who have been wanting to give this new fragrance a go, it's officially available for half-price at Boots, with the health and beauty chain cutting the cost of a 50ml bottle from £96 to just £48.
Created by renowned perfumer Sonia Constant, Musc Nude was created as a new interpretation on the chypre family, with a "second skin" quality that has been designed to wrap around the wearer like a "protective armour."

Product Description
Said to be a "celebration of eternal femininity", it opens with top notes of piquant pink peppercorn accord that have been combined with an abstract floral bouquet of delicate white flowers.
At the perfume's core, there is a heart of musk that has been infused with floral notes of precious rose oil and orange blossom, before drying down to rich Tonka beans, cedarwood and patchouli to create a touch of warmth.
The feminine perfume is housed in an all-over nude pink bottle with a frosted finish that has been topped with a matching matte cap. Offering sophisticated lines, the design matches the elegance of the perfume included within.
Floriental scents offer something deeper than just general florals, with the most iconic arguably being the YSL Black Opium EDP. The floral gourmand scent, which boasts a shot of coffee, costs £62.99 for a 30ml at The Perfume Shop.
Meanwhile, for something a tad more budget-friendly, but no less luxurious, then there is the Flower by Kenzo Eau De Parfum For Women (100ml) that is now £49.98, down from £93, on Amazon.
However, those looking to give the Musc Nude Eau De Parfum a chance will be happy to know it has already earned a 4.5 rating based on hundreds of reviews that have called it a "beautiful" and "go-to summer scent."

Then don't fret, as we have you covered, as no-one can go wrong with a new bottle of cologne, and we have spotted Versace's The Dreamer for him Eau de Toilette for 67 percent less at Superdrug.
Hailed for being "underrated" and "truly unique", a large 100ml bottle of this fragrance has been dropped from £74 to £24, allowing you to make a huge saving of £50 and get in a thoughtful gift.
Described as "warm" and "fresh", Versace's Dreamer is an aromatic fragrance that, while belonging to the cologne family, is said to boast a variety of notes that make it suitable for both men and women.
The scent opens on vibrant notes of juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, before blending into heart notes of iris, lily and flax flowers to add a touch of softness. It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish.
The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house.
Versace's Dreamer EDT has managed to earn glowing reviews and a 4.6 rating from shoppers, with one saying: "Truly unique and dreamy fragrance. It's a great fragrance but it's underrated. Guys you have to try this one, it's great for all year round."
And someone else wrote: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money."
Versace's The Dreamer For Him Eau de Toilette (100ml) can be bought for 67 percent less at Superdrug now.
One five-star review read: "I recently received a sample of this and I am so glad I did because the smell is so lovely. You need to purchase this immediately. One of the best scents I've ever smelt before and the scent lasts all day too which is a bonus."
A second delighted customer wrote: "Wow what a beautiful scent . It is very long lasting but subtle . Definitely a go-to summer scent."
The mix of florals and musk was not a hit with every shopper, as one disappointed customer said of the scent: "Unfortunately this perfume isn't for me, I like fresh, sweet and floral scents, this is more of a musky / talc scent. It's more of a mature older person sort of scent. Perfect for the grandmother."
The scent seemed to have more positive feedback though, with another fan saying: "This fragrance is stunning, so feminine and sensual, long lasting. It smells incredible and I felt so good wearing it. I got so many compliments on the fragrance. This is my new favourite!"
A similar shopper echoed: "This perfume has a really gorgeous scent. It is light, sweet and fresh. I would describe it as a very feminine fragrance and is perfect for spring/summer!"
