If there's one gift dad is sure to love this Father's Day, then it's a bottle of fragrance. Fortunately, there are many deals still available before Sunday, June 15.
One retailer offering hefty discounts across luxury branded scents is Superdrug, with over half-price being slashed across iconic designer bottles such as Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani, Jean Paul Gaultier and much more.
However, like perfume, choosing the right cologne can be difficult, but one dad will be able to get a lot off use out of is the Versace The Dreamer For Him Eau de Toilette that has been praised as "great for all year round."
Like many premium fragrances, it often comes with an expensive price-tag, with a large 100ml costing £74, although the health and beauty chain has slashed it to just £24, saving a staggering 67 percent off the RRP.
Described as "warm" and "fresh", Versace's Dreamer is an aromatic fragrance that, while belonging to the cologne family, is said to boast a variety of notes that make it suitable for both men and women.
The scent opens on vibrant notes of juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, before blending into heart notes of iris, lily and flax flowers to add a touch of softness. It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish.
The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house.
For the dads who love a mix of notes in their fragrance, then another deal worth looking into is on the Gucci Guilty Essence Pour Homme (90ml) that is now on offer at The Perfume Shop for £44.99, down from £97.
Another unisex style fragrance is Calvin Klein's CK One, which was the first to be marketed as such. Mixing earthy and fresh notes, shoppers can bag a large 200ml for just £32.50, down from £74, on Amazon.
However, shoppers keen to know more about Versace's The Dreamer EDT will be happy to hear it has earned a 4.6 rating and 91 percent recommendation rate from Superdrug shoppers, as they say it is a "truly unique" scent.

One-five star review read: "Truly unique and dreamy fragrance. It's a great fragrance but it's underrated. Guys you have to try this one, it's great for all year round."
A second delighted shopper said: "Absolutely amazing! Smell is subtle yet noticeable. Very clean and fresh. Meant for males but I think it is suitable for females too and for £30 off the price on offer 10/10."
Beauty deal of the week
It's almost Father's Day, and are you in need of some gift inspiration?
If you don't want to buy a last minute gift, then we have you covered, as a bottle of aftershave is always a good shout and Debenhams has just cut the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette from £92 to just £55.20 for a large 100ml bottle.
There is also a smaller 60ml bottle that is a bit cheaper, with the price being reduced by 37 per cent from £68 to £43. Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad.
Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for.
It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast.
It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance."
Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments."
One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd.

Someone else remarked: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money."
The longevity and less intense nature of the fragrance have been mentioned as a couple of drawbacks, with one three-star review read: "Decent scent once you get accustomed to it. Longevity is somewhat disappointing, given the price and brand."
By comparison, someone praising the longevity said: "Pleasant, not overpowering smell. Found it lasts longer than many others i have tried. I really like it."
