Iconic 90s perfume that 'always brings back memories' under £29 on Amazon
Take a trip down memory lane with the retro Tommy Girl perfume.
There's no denying the power that a childhood perfume can hold. Despite there being an array of stunning scents to choose from these days, many of us like to revisit an old favourite.
One retro fragrance Amazon shoppers currently can't stop boasting over is the "crisp" Tommy Girl Eau de Toilette. Unlike many designer brands, it's fairly affordable, with a 100ml costing just £28.95.
It is also available in a smaller 50ml bottle for just £22.45, although it is beginning to fast sell out, with Amazon advising there are only "13 left in stock" at the time of writing.
Launched back in 1996, Tommy Hilfiger's iconic scent quickly became one of the designer brand's most beloved fragrances. In fact, it even boasts a male counterpart, Tommy, which has been praised as a "timeless classic" for under £30.
Meanwhile, Tommy Girl remains a firm fan-favourite for its blend of fruity and floral notes that are said to "capture the freedom and optimism of an American road trip."

Product Description
Its main notes are bergamot and spearmint, with florals including jasmine, rose, and iced tea making up its heart notes. It then ends on base notes of musks and sandalwood, adding a warm finish to the fresher scent.
The bottle itself is also iconic, boasting simple sinuous curves and a transparent glass that is distinguished by its simple silver cap and minimalist logo.
Retro scents often remain 'on trend' no matter how old they are. One that many millennial women will remember rushing out to buy is Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Eau de Parfum (100ml), currently just £39.50 at Boots.
Another legendary perfume that often sells out is Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette, with a 100ml bottle of the famed heart-shaped bottle now on offer at The Perfume Shop for just £23.99.
Beauty deal of the week
Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops.
One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle.
Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow.
Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade.
Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day.
Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow."
One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing!
"I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!"
Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here.
Owing to its popularity, Tommy Girl is still a popular choice for those looking for some nostalgia, as it has managed to earn a 4.6 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that say it "brings back memories" and "lasts all day."
One devoted fan said: "Loved this fragrance in my younger years and glad it's not been altered. The fragrance Brings back happy memories and still great value for money."
A similar shopper agreed: "I liked this as a teenager and love it as and adult. Sprayed it and all memories came flooding in. Must buy. Clean crisp scent."

One who found the scent more on the mature side argued: "I am a woman who prefers to wear masculine clothing, and this smells too much like an old lady. If that's what you're going for, this is the one for you."
But someone praising its longevity said: "When I was still working, before retirement, this great scent lasted all day and into the evening! Not so strong that people around start sneezing and coughing! Perfect scorching summer and chilly winter! I have used this for years, and am so glad that Amazon still carries it."
