Iconic 90s perfume that 'always brings back memories' under £29 on Amazon
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."

London Handel Players' pieces explore world of two Bachs and Telemann
**** A MILE or so on the Scottish side of the border, the London Handel Players brought a programme to Music at Paxton's Summer Festival that contained no Handel, but explored the world of two Bachs and Georg Philipp Telemann. The pieces by Johann Sebastian and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel were rooted in Germany, while two Telemann Quartets were linked by the composer's visits to Paris and his seizing control of his work from pirated publication there. In these performances, with the variations in dynamics second nature to the players, it was easy to hear why the music was sufficiently popular to make stealing it worthwhile. The following evening's clever concert by the Chloe Piano Trio then demonstrated how philanthropy sustained a flowering of musical talent in the French capital nearly two centuries later. The ensemble playing of the LHP quartet, led by violinist Adrian Butterfield, was superb, from the opening arrangement of a Bach organ trio through to the opera aria that gave a brief nod to the composer in their name as an encore. Read More: The singer's role in that was taken by flautist Rachel Brown and her playing on a baroque instrument provided the recital's standout moment in JSB's Flute Sonata in E Minor. On Saturday evening, veteran actor Maggie Steed turned Paxton's exquisite Picture Gallery into the Paris salon of Princesse Edmond de Polignac, the married name of sewing machine heiress Winnaretta Singer, whose 'at homes' featured new works by Satie, Stravinsky, Faure, Ravel and Debussy alongside classical chamber music. Festival director Angus Smith's script gave Steed a platform to create a vivid picture of the colourful American music-lover and the young Chloe Piano Trio one to showcase their individual and collective virtuosity, ranging from Beethoven to Lili Boulanger via all five of those listed above and closing with the unfairly neglected Cecile Chaminade. Perhaps the precise chronology of the evening's narrative would not stand close examination, but no one would have dared to contradict Steed's assertive American princess. The musicians - Dutch cellist Jobine Siekman and Romanians Maria Gilicel and George Todica on violin and piano - are a very fine group indeed, who presented their own programme of complete works on Music at Paxton 2025's closing day.

Inside England captain Leah Williamson's romance with Miss USA winner Elle Smith
England captain Leah Williamson will be leading the Lionesses to hopeful victory in the Women's Euro 2025 finals tonight. Leah's England will take on former rivals Spain in St Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland, two years after losing out on their World Cup attempt. All eyes will be on the England team, including 29-year-old team captain Leah, who was permanently appointed to the post by England manager Sarina Wiegman in 2022. But what do we know about Leah's life away from the pitch? Does she have a girlfriend or partner? When not leading her team to victory, Leah has made headlines for her rumoured romance with former Miss USA Elle Smith. Here's all we know about Leah Williamson's relationship with the 27-year-old beauty pageant winner. American journalist and beauty pageant contestant Elle Smith was crowned Miss USA in 2021. In the run-up to the competition, she was named Miss Kentucky USA that same year, making her only the second woman from Kentucky to win Miss USA. She went on to represent the United States at Miss Universe, ultimately finishing in the Top 10, losing out to India's Harnaaz Sandhu. Although they became romantically linked in 2024, Leah and Elle have not officially confirmed whether they are in a relationship. Speculation that the pair were 'soft-launching' a relationship began in March, when Elle posted a video of her and Leah floating in the ocean together on a paddleboard. This came accompanied by the caption 'happy birthday my love x,' to which Leah responded with a series of emojis. Since then, they have continued to pop up all over each other's social media, including a picture of them celebrating England's 6-0 win against Portugal, back in May. In the black-and-white picture, Leah sits on Elle's lap, with the former Miss USA titleholder's arms around her. In response to the picture, Leah commented: 'We did it🥹🥹🥹' Last month, Elle shared a series of snapshots from their holiday to Majorca together – many of which saw the pair looking very loved-up indeed. These images included a snap of Elle and Leah on a paddleboard together, as well as shots of them all dressed up and headed out for dinner. Leah shared her own carousel of images on her Instagram page, too, which included a number of grabs of Elle smiling and contented. Leah also showed her appreciation when Elle shared a series of snaps posing in her Skims bikini while on holiday in Jamaica for her birthday last month. 'I have no words,' Leah wrote in the comments to the post – to which Elle responded: 'all yours.' More Trending She then commented again soon afterwards, writing: 'Just come for a second viewing.' Elle has shared a message of support ahead of tonight's final, posting a snap of herself in a t-shirt to her Instagram Stories. This wasn't any old England t-shirt either. The message emblazoned on the white tee's front in red writing? 'Live, Laugh, Leah.' Got a story?

David Beckham hugs Harper and Victoria on superyacht amid stormy family feud
For months, rumours have rumbled of a bitter split within the Beckham family - but proud dad David looked happy as a clam as he hugged his daughter and wife on a luxury holiday David Beckham looked in good spirits on the high seas as he hugged his daughter and wife during a trip to St Tropez. The 50-year-old sporting legend joined wife Victoria, 51, and daughter Harper Seven, 14, on the deck of a luxury yacht. The sport star looked casual in a sand coloured cap and dark t-shirt - and with a smile stretched across his face. Victoria pouted alongside her husband with her hair loose around her shoulders. While teenage daughter Harper looked pretty in a pink as she wrapped up in a casual hooded top. The trio were spied on the deck of the boat lined up for a photograph together. The famous family are known for heading to the south of France to enjoy a summer break year after year. And they were joined by second son, Romeo, 22 - who reportedly spent the afternoon zipping around the sea on a jet ski. Father, daughter and wife posed and smiled for the cameras as their boat - worth a reported £16 million - bobbed gently on the Mediterranean waters. The Daily Mail shared the sun-soaked snaps which made the family look like they had not a care in the world while enjoying the picturesque French weather. The calm image is in contrast to the stormy headlines that have haunted the Beckham family in recent months. A feud is said to have erupted between the family and eldest son Brookyln - who is married to American Billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz. Fans became concerned for the Beckhams after they noticed Brooklyn and his wife snubbed David during his 50th birthday celebrations in May. In subsequent months, there have been reports that Brooklyn and Nicola have clashed with his younger brothers - while other reports have suggested the family have been at odds since Nicola and her husband got married in 2022. There have also been shady comments and social media quips that have left fans reading into the smallest details for evidence of a feud. On Saturday, social media posts featuring Romeo and his younger sister Harper hinted they were glad to be in the sun and away from feud-fuelled headlines. The duo were spotted heading out for dinner in St Tropez and both cut casual appearances. Romeo was pictured wearing a red baseball cap, teamed with a round neck white sweater. Meanwhile Harper opted for a white hoodie with the word "Seven" emblazoned across the front of it. Both looked in high spirits as they enjoyed an evening out with their parents. While Vicky, Dave and their kids have been lapping up the sun in France, estranged son Brooklyn has been spotted in the UK - far from his Hollywood home. The couple took a leisurely stroll through a picturesque garden where they were spied by fans. Nicola took a candid photo of her husband by a quaint garden well, while they both opted for casual outfits for their trip. One sweet photo shows Brooklyn kissing Nicola as they pose in front of a mirror. Fans noted, however, that the couple enjoyed time in the UK while the rest of the Beckham family were abroad - raising speculation they may have coordinated their trip to avoid a run in.
