'Divine' perfume that's 'the most complimented ever' slashed by 50% at Boots
Ariana Grande seems to have another perfume hit on her hands. Vanilla-based perfumes have become all the rage recently. For those who don't want to wade through all the bottles on offer, we know one that is said to be "the most complimented ever." Some might think it is a luxury brand, but it is instead a celebrity fragrance, with LOVENOTES Vanilla Suede by Ariana Grande being lauded in reviews as a "new favourite" by devoted fans. Fans of the Wicked star who have been wanting to try it out can do so for less, as a decent-sized 125ml bottle has been reduced at Boots from £75 to £37.50 - a staggering 50 percent saving off the RRP. Before we get into the perfume itself, it is worth noting that the LOVENOTES collection was only launched by Ariana in 2024 as a "love letter to the world", with the vanilla-based scent being an exclusive to the UK only. The Vanilla Suede perfume is said to be a "richly sensorial fragrance" that clings to the wearer like a "second skin", with many positive shoppers saying they can still smell it on their clothes "days" after the first spritz. LOVENOTES by Ariana Grande Vanilla Suede, 125ml £75 £37.50 Boots Buy here Product Description The fragrance opens on sparkling notes of Italian bergamot before developing into an "intimate warmth" with creamy sandalwood and rice milk. The vanilla bean and musk at the end are said to push the fragrance into a "skin-like appeal." Another popular fragrance that places a heavy focus on vanilla is the iconic YSL Black Opium Eau de Parfum (50ml) that is also on offer at Boots, with it now costing £55.20, down from £69. Over at the Perfume Shop, an 80ml bottle of Carolina Herrera's Good Girl Blush costs £75, and it's another scent that boasts vanilla-heavy notes, alongside the likes of ylang-ylang and rose. Despite being relatively new to the market, LOVENOTES by Ariana Grande Vanilla Suede has already earned a 4.5 rating from devoted fans who have advised that it is ideal for "any age" and always get compliments "every single time." One five-star review read: "Unlike some other perfumes, I could actually smell this one on myself and randomly got hit with the wonderful smell at least 2/3 times an hour. I smelt this one on my clothes for days even after washing them. The smell itself is lovely, it's sweet but also has vanilla. I love this and would recommend this to anyone of any age."

Someone else praised: "I'm a huge fan if Ariana Grande and would ALL of her perfumes no matter their scent, but this one is just incredible and stands out from the rest of het perfumes! It is a very mature vanilla scent and lasts for a long time. You definitely get your moneys worth! Would 100 percent recommend!!!!" Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50.

This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon.

Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within.

The completely free streaming service with 10,000 titles
Between Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus and the rest, many of us are spending hundreds each year to watch our favourite shows. But not every streaming service comes with a monthly fee. In fact, there are a few free streaming services out there with huge catalogues of film and TV shows. You've probably heard of Tubi and Pluto, but let us introduce you to a lesser-known platform: Rakuten TV. Rakuten is what's known as a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platform, meaning users can watch TV channels and shows for free with adverts, as a compromise for not handing over your bank details. It boasts more than 10,000 titles in total, as well as live channels across sport, lifestyle, cooking, crime and mystery, reality, news and more. Where Rakuten differs from other free streamers, however, is that users can also buy or rent the latest film and TV releases on the platform. Simply pay to watch whatever takes your fancy, without footing the bill for an additional subscription fee on top. There are plenty of hugely popular titles ready to stream, with shows including House of the Dragon and The Last of Us available from £14.99 for one season. As you might expect, the free-to-stream options are less popular and well-known compared to the paid-for titles, but they're great for those looking for something nostalgic. Metro writer Caroline Westbrook has used Rakuten before, and shared her verdict on the free streamer: 'If nostalgia is your thing, then you can't go far wrong here. Want to dive into some Baywatch? Vintage episodes of 21 Jump Street? You've come to the right place. And there's no shortage of British TV favourites either, with the likes of Hell's Kitchen, Pointless and even classic episodes of The Graham Norton Show. 'But if it's the latest blockbusters you're after, it'll cost you. Yes, you can watch Final Destination: Bloodlines, the Minecraft movie and other recent hits, but you'll pay for the privilege. The free movies are a bit limited and obscure by comparison, but there are some familiar titles thrown in among the lesser-known offerings (and even a few box office gems). 'And Rakuten adds new free-to-watch content all the time, so it's worth keeping an eye on, as you never know what might show up.' TV series that are available for free include apocalyptic horror series Z Nation, as well as Clink, a Channel 5 drama set in a women's prison. There's also sci-fi series Sanctuary and Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. Meanwhile, free on-demand films include 2018 romcom I Feel Pretty, starring Amy Schumer, hit mystery thriller Gone Girl, the critically acclaimed Tangerine and 00s classics like Just My Luck and Bring It On. TV shows that have their own linear channels (meaning the episodes run back-to-back at all hours of the day) include Kim's Convenience, Mr Bean, Ninja Warrior, Great British Menu, Andromeda and The Graham Norton Show. On the Rakuten TV store, users can rent or buy early home releases of films like Final Destination: Bloodlines, The Amateur, which stars Rami Malek, and The Salt Path with Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. These popular titles generally cost £15.99 to rent or £19.99 to buy, while older titles are available for less. Rakuten is compatible with a wide range of smart TVs, including models from Samsung, LG, Philips, Hisense, Panasonic and Sony. The app is also compatible with Chromecast, Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV and TiVo. There's a mobile app too, or users can watch on a browser by visiting More Trending To rent or buy titles, you'll have to register for a free account, but this isn't necessary to watch the free on-demand content or live TV. Registered users have other benefits too, including access to a wishlist function and a library that stores bought or rented content. You can also watch on up to three devices at the same time with an account. View More » This article was first published on June 24, 2025. Got a story?

'Feminine' little known Ghost perfume that 'lingers all day' under £30 on Amazon
The famed brand offers many alternative scents that can be hard to find. Many of us will be well acquainted with Ghost perfumes. Famed for its iconic bottles and lush scents, the brand has earned its cult-like reputation over the years. Of course, the particular bottles that come to mind are either the bestselling Deep Night or its Original Fragrance, although there are a few other little known alternatives that can be hard to come by. One of them is the Whitelight Eau de Toilette, with a 50ml only available to buy from Amazon for £29.30, and budget high street store Savers where it is a touch cheaper for £24.99. Launched in 2016, this "feminine" perfume boasts notes of fruits and florals, with the beloved firm itself saying that it is was inspired by the moon entering a new phase, creating a scent that was "cool, clear and futuristic." It opens with top notes of crunchy pear and crisp mandarin, with iced violet, jasmine and rose making up its heart. The scent then finishes on notes of patchouli, powdery vanilla orchid and amber for a "bold, ultra-modern finish." Ghost Whitelight Eau de Toilette, 50ml £29.30 Amazon Buy here Anyone who is familiar with Ghost perfumes will instantly recognise the crescent-moon shaped bottle that houses the Whitelight fragrance, with this version boasting an iridescent style finish. For a similar scent that boasts top fruity notes, we'd suggest checking out the bestselling Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette that opens with apples, apricot and mandarin, with Superdrug stocking a 100ml bottle for £26. Perfume fans who'd prefer something that is more of a woody, amber based scent, might be more keen on the MUGLER Alien Goddess, with a 60ml now on offer for half-price at Boots for £48.50. Despite the Whitelight Eau de Toilette being a less common scent for Ghost, it's still a winner for many beauty fans, as it averages an impressive 4.8 rating on Amazon for its "long-lasting" and "summery" aroma.

It has a soft, sweet, fruity-floral scent with hints of peach and vanilla that isn't overpowering but still lingers all day, especially on clothes. "I was pleasantly surprised by how long-lasting it is for the price, and it smells far more expensive than it actually costs.

There was one review that criticised longevity, reading: "The bottle is lovely but the scent is practically non existent. Not impressed at all I'm afraid." Although, someone else who didn't have this issue wrote: "I love Ghost perfume. I didn't know about this one. I sprayed some on my wrist, and I can still smell it 2 hours later. It's a nice clean fresh smell. I love it and would highly recommend." Amazon and £24.99 at Savers.
