'Heavenly' designer aftershave now half-price in Boots deal ahead of Father's Day
Looking for Father's Day gifting inspiration? Then look no further than this Boots deal.
We might still have over four weeks until Father's Day, but there is nothing wrong with getting early gift inspiration. Let's face it, men aren't often the easiest to buy for.
Something that will always go down a treat with any guy is a good bottle of aftershave. However, much like women's perfumes, a designer bottle can often be a bit outside of our price range.
Luckily, Boots is offering up to half-price across an assortment of luxury branded scents for shoppers to take advantage of ahead of time, and this includes the highly popular Versace Oud Noir Eau de Parfum.
Right now, a 100ml bottle is 50 percent cheaper after being dropped from £121 to £60.50. Since rival retailer The Perfume Shop still stocks it at full price, it means Boots shoppers are getting the better deal.
Said to be "for the man who enjoys the finer things in life", this luxury aftershave's main scent is that of luxurious oud, which is known for being one of the "finest ingredients in perfumery", adding to its upmarket reputation.
The oriental scent is complete with top notes of bitter orange and black pepper that have been complimented with cardamom and saffron. Finished with deep leather and oud, this masculine scent is said to "create an alluring blend of spicy and intense ingredients that stir up visions of exotic landscapes."
Owing to its luxurious scent and reputation, Versace Oud Noir is housed in a sleek, minimalist glass bottle that has been adorned with the Versace Medusa Emblem at the centre.
Looking for more Father's Day inspiration, then The Perfume Shop does offer quite a few discounts across major branded bottles, with the Calvin Klein CK IN2U Man (100ml) now just £17.99, down from £57 - an impressive £39.01 saving.
Alternatively, Amazon shoppers can save themselves a rather impressive 61 percent on the BOSS In Motion Eau de Toilette (100ml) that has been reduced from £72 to £27.99.
Keen on the Boots discount? Then multiple other shoppers have praised Versace Oud Noir in glowing reviews, earning it an impressive 4.3 rating for its "heavenly" scent that is said to be "perfect for any man."
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!!"

A positive review read: "Heavenly fragrance. Perfect scent for my man. I'd recommend this to everyone."
A second fan of the fragrance said: "This smells divine! A new favourite of mine. Versace fragrances never disappoint!"
Someone who bought it as a gift said: "Lovely aftershave for my husband. I really recommend. As a Jo Malone user this is a very good contender. 10/10."

Not everyone has praised the longevity of the scent, with one three-star review reading: "I bought this because I fancied a new cent of Versace. It smells lovely but I don't think I will get this one again, out of all the Versace brands this is disappointingly weak."
While another delighted shopper wrote: "Lovely fresh smell, perfect for any man of any age range."
