But that's not all - if you have posh taste but don't have the funds to match, you're sure to be left beaming when you hear that this 'everyday essential' smells 'exactly' like a pricey perfume.
So with summer right around the corner, if you want to smell good but without breaking the bank, then you've come to the right place.
Many of us can't afford to spend over £200 on a bottle of perfume, but thanks to the new Gem Skin-Loving Santal Antiperspirant Deodorant, not only will it provide you with 48 hours of antiperspirant protection, but you'll also smell designer too.
With this new deodorant, which recently landed in Boots stores, you'll tackle sweat whilst ensuring your skin feels better than ever.
This 'skin-loving formulation' is enriched with premium ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter and Vitamin E.
It's said to be 'gentle on skin, but tough on sweat' and works to 'keep skin moisturised and nourished.'
There's four scents to choose from - Cool Fresh, Vanilla Coconut, Vanilla Macadamia and Santal, which fans say smells 'exactly' like a well-known fragrance.
So if the thought of spending £234 for an 100ml bottle of Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum sends shivers down your spine, then you won't want to miss this.
This woody fragrance, which blends earthy sandalwood with subtle spices, has since gone viral online, sending shoppers into chaos as they scramble to get their hands on the popular Aussie deodorant.
It's been hailed 'a boujee-on-a-budget formula' that provides 'seriously chic scent profiles that last all day'.
Beauty fans race to their local supermarket for fake tan holy grail as prices are slashed from £13 to less than £3
And it's clear that beauty fans are loving it, as it has quickly racked up a very impressive average rating of 4.9 out of five, with 94% of reviewers recommending this product.
One person said: 'Smells amazing, lasts the perfect amount of time. I got the Santal one and I love how it suits me. Easy to apply and good for value.'
Great deodorant. Really does stop me from sweating throughout the day
Boots shopper
Another added: 'I love this scent! It's giving oud for your pits! Scent lasts all day and until the next morning without irritating my underarms! I'm obsessed! Definitely my go to from now on.'
A third commented: 'The smell of this one is unique!! I had never seen anything like it, such a lovely lasting smell! This one is definitely one of my fav scents ever!'
Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using
Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using.
A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines.
A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion.
The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture.
SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine.
Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer.
Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection.
Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation.
I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.
Meanwhile, someone else beamed: 'This has a really nice unisex scent to it and the sweat protection is really good! No powdery texture or white residue. Pretty packaging too!'
But that's not all, as another happy beauty fan gushed: 'Great deodorant. Really does stop me from sweating throughout the day.'
At the same time, another Boots shopper wrote: 'I love the woody scent – it's subtle but lasts all day without being overpowering. The formula glides on so smoothly and doesn't irritate my skin at all.
'Keeps me fresh for ages, and I love that it includes Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid. Total everyday essential!'

'Breath-taking' £78 Versace perfume reduced to £25 in Boots sale

The online deal sees more than 65% shaved off the price tag of this luxury fragrance Boots customers could get their hands on one of Versace's popular fragrances, which is currently part of a major sale. The high-end scent typically commands a hefty price tag, but this promotion drops the usual cost by over £50.. The health and beauty store continues to offer significant reductions on a range of fragrances, including some with discounts of up to 50% or more. Originally available at £78 for a 100ml bottle, Boots is now offering The Dreamer by Versace online for £25, which works out at a saving of approximately 67% (£53). This particular Versace Eau de Toilette, known as The Dreamer, is presented in a 'sleek' glass bottle and features an "alluring, sensual and comforting" aroma. It combines aromatic florals with "deep and rich notes of amber" to create a 'strong masculine scent'. There are tempting deals on other fragrances at different beauty retailers, such as HUGO Just Different For Him Eau de Toilette (was £58 at Superdrug, now £27) and Davidoff Adventure Eau de Toilette (previously £66, now £27.99 at The Perfume Shop). However, the Versace offer at Boots has proven popular, reports the Mirror. A Boots shopper said: "This, like other Versace perfumes, is a beautiful, long-lasting fragrance at a very good price." Another added: "Fantastic. It's lovely for daytime or evening events." A third wrote: "This fragrance is top class, it takes my breath away. I love the smell so much." However, not all customers were convinced of the value for money. One buyer shared: "Not the best aftershave I've ever bought. It doesn't last that long." Another voiced their disappointment, claiming: "This fragrance has been reformulated so much that it bears no resemblance to the original at all! It has no longevity or anything." Despite this, a significant number of shoppers still awarded it top marks. A different customer shared their positive experience: "For the price, this is a great fragrance. Wore it on a trip to Paris and got loads of compliments. Smells more expensive than it is." Another satisfied shopper commented: "Great smell and excellent price. I would recommend as I've had loads of compliments about how nice it is." Bargain hunters are in for a treat this summer with plenty of deals to explore, especially when it comes to perfume. Debenhams had beauty fans stunned by offering a designer fragrance at a fraction of its usual price The retailer has a vast catalogue of items for sale online, including perfumes at slashed prices. One particular bargain that's getting glowing reviews is the 71% reduction on Moschino's I Love Love Eau De Toilette. Ordinarily retailing at £83 for a 100ml bottle, shoppers can now bag it for just £24.

Normally worth £78 for a 100ml bottle, Boots has an online deal where shoppers can get their hands on The Dreamer by Versace for just £25 - a markdown of around 67%.
