Boots shoppers 'always get compliments' on £20 designer perfume
The perfume is on offer for half of its usual price, giving fans a tempting reason to stock up Boots shoppers have said that a "bargain" perfume is a "beautiful" scent that works well during the summer months. And, the affordable spray is now half its usual price, prompting fans to stock up on this perfume that "always get compliments." Boots describes the Ghost Eau De Toilette (50ml) as a "timeless and feminine" fragrance. Experts mix a range of lush floral scents, such as hibiscus, rose petals, and jasmine, with spicy sandalwood and warm incense to create the base of this popular fragrance. The perfume adds touches of vanilla, musk, ambergris, and apricot to "provide a satiny quality to the fragrance." Normally worth £40 a bottle, Boots is offering the 50ml version of this classic scent for just £20. There are similar floral perfumes out there which also have great discounts (at the time of writing). Superdrug has cut the cost of a 100ml bottle of Calvin Klein Euphoria Eau de Parfum for Women (was £87, now £35) and The Perfume Shop has a massive saving on Marc Jacobs Perfect, offering 50ml of fragrance worth £89 for £44.99. But, the popular Ghost perfume has been available for decades—since 2000—and has clearly held onto fans for generations and pick up new fans in 2025. On the Boots website, it has a nearly flawless rating of 4.7 stars out of five, using more than 120 reviews from customers. One said: "I love this perfume, have used it for years. Its a lovely light, soft fragrance that is great for day or evening." Another added: "Love the scent, Great for any occasion, it has gorgeous flowery undertones, which last a very long time its perfect and not overpowering." A third wrote: "Lovely fragrance with a not-so-hefty price tag. Always get compliments." Someone else put: "Beautiful light fragrance. Always reminds me of summer." However, there were some critics. One person suggested: " Nice price but way too sweet for my taste!" And, another wrote online: "I can't deal with the smell, it is far too overpowering!" But, most of the reviews were glowing. Another five-star take claimed: "I love this fragrance. It smells sweet and fresh at the same time. If you spray on hair or clothes, it lasts a long time." Another added: "I have used Ghost the Fragrance for many years. It has a lovely, light, feminine, fragrance that lasts for a long time. Really good fragrance." And, one more said: "Lovely scent not too strong or overpowering. Very elegant bottle too. Great value."

The Perfume Shop has another strong year despite price-sensitive consumers
The Perfume Shop's accounts for 2024 are in and they show the UK-based fragrance retailer's revenue rising 5.9%. The company, which also sells in Ireland, operated from one extra store overall last year taking its total to 510, but its revenue rise from 302.4 million to £320.4 million wasn't purely down to trading from new space. The retailer's comparable sales increased by 6.1% with the business saying it saw strong growth both in its physical spaces and online. This was helped by its loyalty programme that continues to grow and saw an increase in member gross sales participation and the total number of members. Meanwhile, operating profits increased to £24.8 million from £21.4 million with profit after tax at £17.2 million, up from £15.4 million in 2023. That was all despite what The Perfume Shop said was another tough year for the retail sector, including the legacy of higher prices even though the monthly rate of inflation eased considerably. Consumer disposable income was squeezed and it said customers were much more price-sensitive even though the beauty market as a whole was strong. It continued to grow its market share through its strategy as a multi-channel retailer and investment here paid off last year. That investment remains key as the business spends money of opening new stores and refurbishing existing locations. In 2024, it refitted 31 stores and opened three in new locations, as well as relocating five to stronger trading positions and closing two as their leases ended and the decision was taken that they didn't fit in with the strategic direction of the firm. Although the accounts didn't contain any details about specific selling seasons or about 2025, we assume that the current year has continued to be strong. During this year it has reported buoyant sales for key events such as Valentine 's Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day. And store openings/revamps have continued at pace.
