Boots is offering up to 50% off selected fragrances including Vera Wang, Gucci and Armani TODAY
HIGH STREET beauty giant Boots has slashed the prices of hundreds of fan favourite fragrances.
The Boots sale features up to 50 per cent off well known brands like Vera Wang, Gucci and Armani.
One savvy shopper took to a Bargains and Couponing page on Facebook to share the news.
Excitedly, he wrote: “Boots is currently offering up to 50% OFF selected Fragrances, featuring renowned names like BOSS, Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Giorgio Armani, and more!
“With plenty of options to choose from.”
Boots customers can treat themselves to half off popular perfumes like Cerruti 1881 Femme Eau de Toilette, Marc Jacobs Dot Eau de Parfum, or Emporio Armani She Eau de Parfum – to name a few.
Men are being spoilt with the luxury of having Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men Eau de Toilette, Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Eau de Parfum, Montblanc Explorer Eau de Parfum, and many more at a 50 per cent discount.
Joining the list of heavily slashed items are items from Ghost, Rabanne, Issey, Lancôme, and Vera Wang.
If you’re looking to get your hands on the Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu Eau de Parfum, head to boots immediately.
The 50ml fragrance bottle has been slashed in half to just £50 instead of £100.
And, Boots is giving away a free Lancôme Lait Galatée Confort 200ml if you purchase three Lancôme products – although one has to be a skincare product.
All of these deals are available both online and in stores, although some reports suggest that some of the discounts are better online.
It is currently unclear how long the sale will last, so customers are being warned to act quick to avoid disappointment.
If you’re still wondering where you can get other designer perfumes on the cheap, we revealed them all last week.
High street retailer Debenhams currently has the best deal on the Prada Paradoxe Eau De Parfum, slashing the price by 20%.
The price of the 30ml fragrance has dropped to just £55.20 down from £69, while other retailers like The Perfume shop are charging a minimum of £65 for the same bottle.
Several retailers currently have great deals on designer perfumes this week and you may even be able to find some great dupes.
Like M&S‘s Warm Neroli – which is said to spell like Paco Rabanne’s classic Lady Million except it’s £50 cheaper.
M&S zesty scent is just £6 per 30ml while the Paco Rabanne is £56.
The dupe combines zesty freshness with woody accents and has notes of neroli and bergamot combined with a musky base to create an uplifting scent.
Secrets from a perfume insider
Noemie Maury has shared perfume insider secrets
“High street chains can create perfumes cheaply by buying them from big fragrance manufacturers which grow their own ingredients in-house,” says Noemie.
“Because they use oils from flowers they grow themselves instead of importing ingredients, they save on costs and can create fragrances for high street brands at a discount price.”
Although this keeps costs down, it means the range of ingredients used in cheaper perfumes can be limited.
Noemie explains the main smell in budget perfumes may also come from just one or two strong but relatively cheap ingredients, like vanilla.
It means they can lack the depth and complexity of more expensive brands which use a wide variety of more expensive ingredients.
As the smell, names and bottle shapes of branded perfumes are protected under copyright law, cheaper brands can’t produce exact replicas.
But they can create budget versions which smell similar – these are described as being “inspired by” a popular branded fragrance.
