Boots shoppers have been 'stopped by strangers in the street' when they wear a perfume that's been slashed in price at Boots. It's normally a three-figure investment - but fragrance fans are taking advantage of the new online deal to secure it for a fraction of its usual cost.
The Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire Eau de Parfum comes in a 50ml bottle, offering plenty of hours of perfume. It normally costs £105, but for a limited time, Boots has cut the price in half to just £52.50. Shoppers could save massively if this is their go-to fragrance as the 100ml version is now also £112 - down from £140. Others might want to stash this discounted gem away for a special occasion like Mother's Day.
Online, the perfume is described as being a floral "masterpiece". It infuses three rose extracts to create one powerful scent that gives off "sensual opulence". Plenty had nothing but praise to share after purchasing their own bottle. The Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire Eau de Parfum boasts an almost flawless 4.8-star rating from over 1600 reviews.
One said: "Simply irresistible! I cannot believe I'll use anything else since I tried this eau de parfum!" Another added: "Very fresh but dominant fragrance that I love wearing. Endless compliments!". A third wrote: "The nicest perfume I have come across in almost 20 years, it is STUNNING! I get stopped by strangers asking what perfume I'm wearing!" Someone else put in their review: "I’ve been using Lancôme perfume for many years, and it’s truly a timeless favourite.".
They added: "The scent is elegant and beautifully balanced—it’s not too overpowering but lasts all day." A fifth person shared: "This is my scent! It’s taken me years to find it and this is perfect! If you want a sexy sweet rose scent, this is best in the whole game!".
However, not all customers had the best experience. One claimed: "Smells good but it does not last more than 20mins. I wanted to love it but I have had to return it." Another warned: "The only thing nice about this perfume is the beautiful bottle. I was looking forward to a delicate rose scent and this did not deliver. It’s horribly sweet smelling and did not smell like roses at all. It gave me a massive headache.".
There are plenty of alternatives out their for people looking at their next floral perfume. Shopping around can also help you find great offers too. For example, Debenhams shoppers could get a similar price on Prada's Paradoxe Eau De Parfum. In a handly 30ml bottle, it'll cost £57.60 instead of £72.
