Boots deal knocks 50% off 'unique' designer perfume 'unlike any other'
Some devoted perfume fans say Alien Goddess beats the original purple icon it is based on. Spritzing perfume before we leave the house is a daily must for many of us. With so many scents to choose from these days, it can be hard to find one that truly stands out. Instead of wading through all of the bottles available, we have found one that is said "smell like nothing else". It's Thierry Mugler's Alien Goddess, and it's officially on offer at Boots with a huge 50 percent price cut. The health and beauty chain has been offering some unmissable deals on designer branded perfumes lately, some being the cheapest they can be bought for, with a 60ml of this one now reduced from £97 to just £48.50. Launched by Mugler in 2021 as a reimagining of the iconic Alien perfume the luxury brand is famed for, Goddess is said to offer a lighter, sweeter fragrance profile that is no less "distinctive." This amber floral perfume combines three olfactory "revelations" to create a scent that "mesmerises the senses", opening with a Radiant revelation of sparkling Italian Bergamot essence that recalls the first rays if sunlight and the positive energy of the solar goddess. Mugler Alien Goddess Eau de Parfum, 60ml £97 £48.50 Boots Buy here Product Description This leads into the miraculous revelation of Jasmine Grandiflorum notes that offer a floral wave that represents femininity and sensuality, before ending on the Mindful revelation of bourbon vanilla that adds "deep and mysterious warm vibrations." Luxurious scent aside, Alien Goddess' bottle is also highly recognizable, boasting the iconic talisman shape that has been adorned in gold to evoke a sunrise, representing the luminous perfume contained within. For beauty fans impressed with the bold notes of this interpretation of Alien, then a similar alternative is Giorgio Armani's My Way Intense, with a 30ml costing £75 at popular retailer The Perfume Shop. Another highly distinctive scent on the market is the beloved YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, which offers a more vanilla-heavy scent compared to the iconic original, with a 50ml at its cheapest price at Boots for £57.50, down from £115.

Beauty deal of the week Looking to upgrade your straighteners, then look no further than this Amazon deal we have spotted. The Remington Advanced Coconut Therapy Hair Straightener, which has been hailed as "better than ghd", is now on offer for a staggering 75 percent less, as it is has been dropped from £139.99 to just £34.90. To help keep hair soft and shiny with each use, the floating ceramic plates feature micro-conditioners that have been infused with coconut oil and UV filters, keeping tresses protected from any frizz caused by too much heat. Its salon-style design means it comes complete with an ultra-fast 15-second heat up time and five digital temperature controls up to 230C, while the rounded barrel design with a swivel cord makes it easy to create either a sleek straight or bouncy curls look. There's also an integrated sensor that kicks in when the plates come into contact with the hair, ensuring they never overheat, while plate lock and auto-shut off function offers peace of mind and safety. Considering Remington's status for hair tools, it's no surprise to hear that this coconut-infused straightener has been singled out as an 'Amazon Choice' product, with a glowing 4.4 rating based on over 1,000 reviews from happy purchasers. One beauty fan praised: "Better than ghds. What can I say I have used GHDs for the last 20 years? My last pair broke yesterday so after some research I thought I would try these Remington's. "I can't believe how straight my hair is gone, not even my GHD's got it this straight. Amazing straighteners on would recommend to anybody, I have thick course hair and look how smooth it looks." Someone else remarked: "It has very interesting fragrance which I really like. It is long lasting and unique scent that reminds me of nice evening in tropical Island: fresh and warm at the same time." However, some fans of the original aren't keen on the lighter scent, as one wrote: "I like a perfume to be strong, I love Angel & Alien. This is quite delicate. Not for me." Although, someone else who was delighted with perfume wrote: "The scent is just divine! I thought my favourite was the purple, but this wow! Lasts so long as well." Perfume fans can bag a 60ml bottle of Mugler Alien Goddess for £48.50, down from £97, at Boots now.
