People have left some seriously outstanding reviews of a perfume that’s now only £28 at Boots. For anyone looking for a new fragrance to try this year that smells ‘beautiful’ and looks ‘gorgeous’ too, the £28 might be a good choice.
Eternal Sunshine signer and Wicked star Ariana Grande’s REM Eau de Parfum is the perfume getting high prais e. On Boots website, it is going on sale for £28.66, it was originally £43 for a 50ml bottle, but thanks to the discount, shoppers can save £14.34.
There is a 30ml option available, but that is priced at £28.05. So for 61p more you might as well get the 50ml bottle. Ariana Grande’s REM perfume is described as “an intergalactic dream of femininity and power”, that draws you in with a “cosmic blend of juicy fig and warm salted caramel”.
It is also made with lavender essence, marshmallow, tonka bean, pear blossom, musk and sandalwood. The bottle itself looks like a crystalised purple geode – sure to be a standout piece on top of any dressing table.
Customers have given the REM perfume 4.6 stars out of five, with 96% of shoppers saying they would recommend the fragrance to a friend. One person’s review, titled “Heaven,” reads: “It smells amazing, and I want to marry it.”
Another said: “Everyone should buy this asap because it’s smells amazing.” A third stated: ” I have never loved a perfume this much.!!” A third wrote: “The smell is very fresh and sweet. The packaging is even better.”
A fourth claimed: “I bought this a while ago, and the 50ml lasted me a while. I have had so many compliments wearing this perfume. My boyfriend says he could smell me all the way down the road while wearing it.” A fifth raved: “Its really strong smell and it brings out sweet and dreamy sent to it. The style and the packaging is so aesthetic with the colours are just perfect.”
However, there were a few people who weren’t as impressed. One shopper said: “I expected the exterior design of the perfume itself to be made of glass, like the actual bottle but it wasn’t and was a cheap, lightweight plastic.
“My only complaint is that this perfume is borderline more masculine than a feminine product. Personally I dont mind- but its probably why the perfume lasts so long.” Another put: “Absolutely stunning packaging however, the scent is atrocious. It’s incredibly strong, makes me sneeze and itch!”
