Boots drops price of 'whimsical' £66 perfume to £26 that 'brightens your mood'
Boots customers have been thrilled with the chance to purchase a perfume that gives off a "high-end" aroma without breaking the bank. The fragrance is currently available at more than half off its original price on the high-street retailer's website.
The health and beauty shop's sale, offering up to 50% off items such as perfumes, skincare products, and hair tools, ends tomorrow (July 15). Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette has seen a significant reduction beyond the standard discount.
This 'timeless' scent, which has been a staple on beauty counter shelves since 2006, typically sells for £66 for a 100ml bottle. However, in the Boots online deal, the same perfume is now priced at just £26 - a saving of £40, reports the Mirror.
Boots explained online that the fragrance is a fruity floral perfume that blends "rich vanilla with exotic flowers and succulent fruits". The retailer further added: "The scent sparkles with the captivating, sweet, tart aroma of delicate lady apples and dreamy water lily kissed lightly by golden apricot and mandarin meringue.
"This sweeps into a heart of ripe pink guava and the rare, coveted Tahitian tiare flower, wild tuberose and dark chocolate. In the base, tempting vanilla chiffon and pink frosting are combined with precious amber and forbidden woods to wrap the fragrance in a mysterious air. Princess is an enchanting celebration of modern femininity."
Fragrance fans looking for a bargain are spoilt for choice with a selection of enticing deals ideal for gifting or self-indulgence. Superdrug's current promotion features Ghost Orb of Night, dropped from £44 to £36, while The Perfume Shop offers the coveted Gucci Rush at an impressively reduced price of £34.99, down from £79.
Reviewers can't stop praising Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette, with one fan describing it as "a dreamy, whimsical fragrance". They added: "It instantly makes me feel like royalty. It's sweet, playful, and just the right amount of youthful without being overpowering."
Another satisfied shopper shared: "My daughter got this for me for my birthday and I love it. She agreed that it is a great quality perfume, especially for how affordable it is, with the scent and quality of this you'd think it's a higher-end perfume."
A third posted: "Blend of vanilla, floral, and fruity notes creates a soft, charming scent that's perfect for everyday wear. I love the whimsical bottle design too! It's a feel-good perfume that always brightens my mood and gets compliments."
Despite numerous positive reviews, not everyone was in love with the fragrance's enduring charm. A shopper claimed: "Very light scent. Wore off in less than a minute even after several sprays. Not worth the price - even at sale."
Further criticism came from a shopper who added: "Purchased as a cheap perfume for work, don't know how this can be marketed as a perfume, expensive water lasted all of 10 minutes. Feel ripped off." Another added: "I was hoping to have some nice kick as a lot of nice reviews, but it's a shame as you cannot even smell it."
Despite facing some criticism, the overall review seems to be that the perfume deserves top marks, with many awarding it a five-star review. A satisfied shopper shared their thoughts: "Really nice smelling perfume. Bought a few times and absolutely love it. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It's my go-to scent."

Terminator star died agonising 'lingering' death after horrific home accident
A rising Hollywood star was found dead by his friends in the early hours of the morning after he failed to turn up to a rehearsal - he had endured an agonising death it transpired upon investigation and was also hiding a chronic illness Best known for his roles as navigator Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek franchise reboot and Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation, up and coming actor Anton Yelchin's future in Hollywood was looking very bright indeed. However the young star's life was tragically cut short at just 27 years old when he was involved in an horrific car accident. Confirming the news of his death to the Mirror in 2016, his publicist Jennifer Allen said in a statement: "Actor Anton Yelchin was killed in a fatal traffic collision early this morning. His family requests you respect their privacy at this time." The much-loved actor, who had starred in TV shows such as NYPD, ER and Curb Your Enthusiasm, was expected at a rehearsal at 11pm on the Saturday night but failed to turn up. Wimbledon star Flavio Cobolli's mysterious girlfriend and vow to 'stay alone in life' His worried friends discovered him in the early hours of 19 June 2016 dead outside his San Fernando Valley home. He was pinned between his car and a security fence. Pictures from the scene showed the bent bars of the metal gate. It's thought after leaving his home he had got out of his Jeep Cherokee to check his locked gate for mail and the vehicle rolled backwards down the steep driveway, trapping him. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office identified the cause of death as 'blunt traumatic asphyxia'. His heartbroken co-star Zachary Quinto, who played Spock in the Star Trek films, wrote a tribute at the time. It read: "Our dear friend. Our comrade. Our Anton. One of the most open and intellectually curious people I have ever had the pleasure to know. So enormously talented and generous of heart. Wise beyond his years. And gone before his time. All love and strength to his family at this impossible time of grief." Star Trek director JJ Abrams also penned a heartfelt tribute. "You were brilliant. You were kind. You were funny as hell, and supremely talented. And you weren't here nearly long enough. Missing you... JJ." A lawsuit later stated: "Anton Yelchin was crushed and lingered alive for some time, trapped and suffocating until his death." The manufacturer of the Grand Cherokee was reportedly aware certain models had problems with 'rollaway' incidents, with drivers being unsure if they were parked or in gear. At the time of Anton's death, the roll away problem had been tied to at least 68 injuries, 266 crashes and 308 reports of property damage. Unfortunately a software patch didn't reach dealers until after his accident. Fiat Chrysler and his family eventually reached an out of court settlement, with the manufacturer saying it was "pleased" to have reached an "amicable resolution" in the matter. The car company also extended its "deepest sympathies" to the Yelchin family for their tragic loss. Born in Russia, Anton emigrated to the USA with his parents, celebrated Russian figure skaters Victor and Irina Yelchin, at six months old. He had a love for TV and movies from a young age and in 2001, at just 11 years old, he landed a role in Hearts in Atlantis opposite Sir Antony Hopkins. He found early success in Indie films before landing his parts in Star Trek and Terminator. After his death, in 2019 Love Antosha - a film about Anton's life was released. It features personal footage, archives, letters and interviews with leading Hollywood stars who knew him, such as Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Dafoe and Simon Pegg. The film also revealed he was secretly suffering with the chronic and inherited illness cystic fibrosis. The genetic condition causes damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs and shortens life expectancy. Love Antosha's director Garret Price told Fox News: "The first thing that surprised me was his chronic illness, which he was secretly dealing with throughout his career. And that in itself was totally admirable. No one knew about it. Even some of his closest friends didn't know about it until he passed away." Anton's parents remain committed to preserving his legacy. They chose the Hollywood Forever Cemetery where industry greats such as Rudolph Valentino, Judy Garland and John Huston were laid to rest as his final resting place. They erected a life-size bronze figure of the young star and are seen nearly every day at his grave. "I've never encountered a vigil like theirs," co-owner Tyler Cassity told Variety for its profile on the cemetery.

David Beckham says 'it looks terrible' after Victoria shares his horror haircut
Victoria Beckham shared David's 'terrible' trim with their fans. Victoria Beckham 's recent Instagram post revealed her husband David's awful haircut that his wife deemed 'terrible'. While David Beckham is usually somewhat of a style icon, it's unlikely that his new hair will be starting any trends. Victoria asks David while holding the camera to his face: "what have you done?" When he refuses to respond, she asks him the same question again. Sheepishly, the former England football player looks away from the camera while strategically placing his hand on his head to hide the hair do. He then admits: "The thing of the clippers fell off my head." Revealing the accident, he bends his head towards Victoria who zooms in on his shaving disaster as she struggles to contain her laughter. Looking up at her, David says with a serious look on his face that it was "not funny." And in response, the mum of four says: "Do you know the hours of content that the kids have got from this. It does not looks good. I'm going to always be honest with you. It looks terrible." And it seems her followers shared the same sentiment, reports the Mirror. One person wrote in a comment: "I like the victory laugh." Another penned: "Look at the good side it's summer and you can allow your head to catch sun rays. Victoria is very supportive and sincere." But not everyone seemed to agree as one person said: "I always find vb a bit condescending to David." It comes after pictures emerged of their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham taking time out to enjoy a holiday in St Tropez. And while there where pictures of the couple, who have only been married for three years, putting on a united front while hugging and kissing on her father's yacht, body language expert Judi James spotted something completely different. Nicola is seen clutching Brooklyn's hand as they made their way off the yacht and she looked strained. And this prompted Judi to recognise that Brooklyn's natural protective nature has kicked in amid the feud with his family. In an exclusive chat with the Mirror, Judi explains: "With her distant, expressionless eye gaze and her hand either clutching Brooklyn's arm or encased in his hand, Nicola is looking like the tragic heroine here, perhaps wanting to suggest some vulnerability and strain behind her normally cool and confident exterior." She added: "This is a look that might make most caring husbands wary and trigger their protective side, which is what appears to have happened with Brooklyn here. "While his wife walks along in her dramatic black fur tippet and with her hand placed on her bag to provide an emphatic and perhaps symbolic display of her wedding rings, Brooklyn looks more relaxed and dominant." Judi continued: "Clutching her hand in his with his, with the back of his hand showing fully and the wrist bent in a protective clasp. His mood looks confident and even rather upbeat here as though he enjoys being the strong guy in the relationship. His chest is splayed, his arms are held out and there's a smile brewing on his face." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Katie Price shares her motherly pride as she reveals son Harvey has finished college - after her daughter Princess moved out
Katie Price has revealed her son Harvey has finished college as she shared a gushing post. The former glamour model, 47, took to Instagram on Saturday night to share her pride with a sweet photo of her and Harvey. Announcing Harvey had officially completed school, Katie went on to tease that he has plans for the 'next chapter'. 'College done ✅ so proud of my boy. Onto the next chapter xx,' Katie wrote. Pals of Katie were quick to congratulate Harvey, with Ru Paul's Drag Race star Michelle Visage commenting: 'CONGRATS HARV!!!!' Meanwhile Jedward said: 'Wow congratulations Harvey you should be so proud.' It comes after Katie revealed her daughter Princess has moved out of her home. The 18-year-old, who she shares with ex Peter Andre, has embarked on her own career, with Princess currently filming her very own reality show. And speaking to sister Sophie on the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, Katie told how her eldest daughter is no longer living with her due to filming her ITV programme - which Katie is not allowed to appear on. But as she discussed the situation, the former glamour model, 47 - who was recently banned from her girl's 18th birthday - couldn't help but make a dig at Peter and his management company, Can Associates, who are making the show. She told Sophie: 'Princess was living with me but because she's doing her documentary, and I'm not even allowed to breathe near the documentary, she has been predominantly staying at her dads while she is filming.' The subject came up as Katie spoke about her hunt for a new home amid the sale of her £5k-a-month rental property, with Sophie suggesting that Katie only needs a three-bed home for her and her youngest children, with a sofa bed for when the other kids visit. However, Katie was quick to insist that Princess would soon be back, while also noting that second eldest son Junior and his girlfriend Jasmine may move back in too as they do not like renting. She shared: 'It's's only because she has been filming that she has been at Pete's because obviously I'm not allowed anywhere near it. She has only got about two weeks left of filming.' She added: 'I'm that kind of mum where I have to make sure my kids have bedrooms if they want it, you never know do you.' Katie's words comes just weeks after she blasted Peter's management, The Can Group, after she was banned from their daughter Princess' 18th birthday. The TV personality went on a rant about the awkward snub with her sister Sophie in a recent episode of the podcast. MailOnline's Katie Hind revealed Katie was unable to attend Princess' celebrations because the event was being filmed for her forthcoming fly-on-the-wall ITV television series - which Katie has been banned from appearing on. In the episode, Katie said: 'Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.' Sophie said: 'I noticed in her 18th birthday pictures she was wearing the shoes you bought her for Christmas.' 'Oh did she? I love that', said Katie. Katie added: 'Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.' Her sister said: 'You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why. Katie added: 'It's pathetic. I'm her mother. It's so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after...' Her sister Sophie then urged Katie to 'save it for another day.' Katie was allegedly referring to her old PR team, who now manage her ex husband Peter, 52, and their children Junior and Princess.
