Millennials have loved Vera Wang's Princess since it debuted in 2006 - and it's 60% off at Boots.
If there's one fragrance that has stood the test of time, then it's Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette. Launched in 2006, it has become a staple for many Millennial women.
While it is one of the cheaper luxury perfumes, retailing at £66 for a large 100ml, we, like so many others, often like to hunt for a good deal. Fortunately, Boots has loyal fans covered.
The health and beauty firm is running a massive sale with up to half-price off select fragrances, with this Vera Wang bottle being reduced to just £26, saving £40 off the RRP, making it 60 per cent off.
Famed for its "whimsical" fragrance, the Princess EDT is an amber and fruity based fragrance, with its top notes being lady apple, waterlily and apricot. It is then mixed with pink guava and Tahitian tiare flower.
It ends on base notes of wild tuberose, dark chocolate and vanilla chiffon to create a scent that "celebrates modern femininity". It's housed in the now iconic purple-heart shaped bottle that is topped with a golden crown, representing the luxuriousness of the fragrance within.

Product Description
The early 00s launched a variety of now iconic perfumes, with Calvin Klein's now beloved CK One Unisex Eau de Toilette remaining a firm favourite. For those who'd prefer this "refreshing" perfume, it is currently on offer at Superdrug where a 200ml is now £34, down from £75.
Another staple for many perfume fans is the Ghost Deep Night Eau de Toilette that was first launched in 2001. For fans of this iconic 00s fragrance, Amazon currently has a 50ml on offer for half-price at just £22.
However, we wouldn't be surprised if the £40 discount on the Vera Wang perfume ends up popular, with almost 1,700 Boots shoppers leaving it a glowing review, as they heap praise on its "iconic" scent and "fun" bottle design.
One loyal fan said: "I absolutely love this perfume. I've been wearing this perfume since I was in middle school and the fragrance is light and pretty.
"First of all the name of the perfume makes every little girl want to try it and the bottle is absolutely beautiful. In addition, each bottle comes with a little princess crown ring, which I collected. This is an iconic perfume for me."
A second shopper said: "This is absolutely gorgeous. The smell is sweet and it makes me feel like a princess when I spray it on myself.
Beauty deal of the week
Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots.
Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation.
Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume.
Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang.
The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy.
One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!"
A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!"

"The smell lasts throughout the day. My friends all know what this perfume smells like as they all want it, however the price is pretty expensive."
Someone else remarked: "This has been a staple perfume for me since being a teen to now in my early thirties. I think it's a perfect balance to having a lasting sent people can smell throughout the day to not being overbearing. I wear it everyday at my office job and get lots of compliments. The bottle is fun and I love having it on my vanity."
Older shoppers have suggested that the perfume is "too sweet" for their age group, while a few others have found that, despite praise, the perfume doesn't last as long as they'd expect.
One such lower review read: "Not my favourite, but I'm a 33-year-old woman. I received this as a gift when it first came out. it's definitely for more of a younger woman, it has that candy-sweet-like smell which I don't like in a fragrance. Young smelling."
Although, another shopper praised: "I LOVE this perfume. It is hands down the best smelling perfume. I use it and so does my mother.
"It smells so good and it stays on all day. You also just need two sprays to last all day so the bottle lasts forever! And the cap of the bottle also is a ring for your fingers. It's so cute!"
