‘Absolute bargain’ scream shoppers racing to Boots to buy Jean Paul Gaultier perfume for just £40 – instead of £120
SHOPPERS are racing to Boots to buy an “absolute bargain” Jean Paul Gaultier perfume for just £40 – instead of the usual £120.
Bargain hunter Adam came across the Scandal eau de toilette in a clearance sale at a Gloucestershire Boots branch.
He said the 200ml refill bottle would normally have cost him £120 – but was on sale for a third of the price.
Adam said: “Absolute bargain in Boots today. Had plenty of other brands too.”
His find impressed other members of the Facebook group “Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK”.
Priscilla said: “Brilliant find!”
Dru said: “Love a bit of Scandal.”
Joanne said: “I don’t know where people get these bargains – mine never has anything.”
The same 200ml refill bottle of Scandal costs £119 on Jean Paul Gaultier’s website.
Online perfume and cosmetics store All Beauty sells the same product for £89.95.
Boots’s online store charges £112 for a 150ml bottle of the men’s perfume.
The product listing reads: “With muscled elegance and boxing gloves on, Scandal hits hard with an energising and addictive eau de toilette.
“Crowned with victories, this king of the ring seduces his fans with virility.
“It is contrasted by a sensual woody amber fragrance in a knockout refillable bottle.
“The contrasting addiction of a woody amber, redefining caramel, is in harmonious accord with the tonka bean.
“This atypical note blends with the clary sage and vetiver in an extravagant fashion that seduces the senses by surprise.
“Scandal Pour Homme is extremely addictive and the sensual blue-grey juice attracts all victories to itself.
“A hard-hitting fragrance for men.”
