‘Elegant and chic’ £42 perfume that smells like ‘a love letter to yourself’ now £30

‘This perfume is so good! First the bottle is supper cute, the smell so delicate and sweet that is just perfect for any occasion. It is also long lasting which is the perfect combination of a good smell that will last a long while.’

Fans of romantic, Regency-inspired style can now bring a touch of this to a fragrance collection for less, thanks to a limited-time promotion on a range of scents. The discounted perfumes, available at The Perfume Shop and inspired by the world of Bridgerton, channel the show’s signature blend and scents through a trio of distinctive profiles designed for everyday wear and special occasions.

Dearest Rebel Vanilla, which is now £29.99 down from £42, is an ambery floral fragrance that pairs rose, gardenia and jasmine with a warm, indulgent vanilla base to create a confident, lasting impression. The packaging of this one is said to be a ‘love letter to refinement’, and it has a noble crest that reflects the heritage of high society, the site says.

Then there is Dearest Tempting Peach, also available for the same price, and this one takes a fresher direction with notes of peach, mango and mandarin in a refined ‘chypre fruity’ composition that feels vibrant yet polished.

Lastly is the Dearest Graceful Hydrangea, for £29.99 down from £42, which offers a softer, more nuanced alternative. It combines hydrangea and other delicate florals with blackcurrant, cedarwood and praline for a floral woody finish with gentle sweetness and depth.

For a different aesthetic altogether, shoppers could also try the Versace Woman Eau De Parfum (50ml) for £35, down from £70, on LookFantastic’s site. This has opening notes of frangipani, jasmine and bergamot, followed by heart notes of lotus, prune and raspberry, and then finished with base notes of musk, amber and hinoki wood. Argos also has the Armani SI Eau de Parfum (30ml) for £65. This has top notes of cassis, heart notes of May rose and freesia, and base notes of vanilla, patchouli and ambroxan.

Shoppers have rated the Bridgerton scents highly, however, as one person said about the Rebel fragrance: “This perfume is so beautiful and very impressed with the quality and the packaging. Is very elegant and chic. The uniqueness of my Rebel Vanilla is amazing. The fragrance is unique and the smell stays strong long on my skin.”

Another added: “I love this fragrance! It’s a warm floral vanilla that smells like a love letter to yourself when you’re wearing it. It sprays evenly and lasts all day – with the floral lingering most on my skin. I felt romantic and beautiful when wearing this and got many compliments.”

Some people disagreed slightly and removed a star. For example, with the Tempting Peach scent, someone said: “This fragrance has a very sweet scent without much depth. It settled down quickly and isn’t overly peachy, it’s more just the sweetness, but it is nice and lasts a long time. The packaging matches the Bridgerton aesthetic and would be great for a younger teenager or someone who’s into the show. Overall, this scent was a bit too sweet for me but I could see it being liked by others.”

Another commented: “This has a really light a summer sweet smell. I don’t get a strong sense of peaches as the title would suggest, but it is still a great feminine a sweet scent.”

However, most reviews were positive, with another saying: “This perfume is so good! First the bottle is supper cute, the smell so delicate and sweet that is just perfect for any occasion. It is also long lasting which is the perfect combination of a good smell that will last a long while.”
