Fragrance expert Hannah Britt shares her thoughts on the new Marks and Spencer summer scent that's an affordable alternative to the cult classic Tom Ford Soleil Blanc
If you're searching for that perfect summer fragrance, the chic crowd will likely nudge you towards Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc. It's a cult favourite with its zesty bergamot, indulgent pistachio, and rich coco de mer base ideal for evoking memories of beachy getaways and lazy afternoons sipping cocktails in the sun.
But let's be real, splashing out £220 for a 50ml bottle is quite the investment, one that could alternatively boost your holiday budget. Fear not, fragrance aficionados, because Marks & Spencer might just have the solution. Their latest gem? The No. 4 Under the Palms Eau de Parfum Set, retailing at a mere £16.
"Marks and Spencer are becoming almost as well known for their fab fragrances as they are for their undies - and many of them are great dupes of much more expensive scents. This is certainly true for brand new Under The Palms, which bears more than a passing resemblance to Tom Ford's delicious Soleil Blanc, but at £16 is a whopping £204 cheaper. You could quite literally go on holiday with the savings," enthuses Hannah Britt, a beauty journalist and fragrance connoisseur.
"Both are suncream-like summer scents , perfumes that bring the beach to you wherever you are. Gourmand fruity florals, each has serotonin-boosting solar - or sunny notes, conjuring up images of a luxurious tropical holiday. Think creamy coconut and orange. Hey Bali, is that you? Yup, M&S have another hit on their hands and at just £16 Under The Palms is sure to sell out - and fast. So run, don't walk, and it up before it does.
