Christmas fragrance on a budget

As head-turning as a pair of bedazzled Jimmy Choo stilettos, Illicit Flower makes a statement. A blend of vibrant notes (like apricot, grapefruit flower, and zest of mandarin) are balanced effortlessly with soft and sensual musk and sandalwood. It’s the perfect pop-in-your-handbag-and-see-where-the-day-takes-you scent, for the woman who need instant glam on the go.  

or the bff with an undeniable sweet tooth, step away from the assorted choccies because Prada Candy is the sugar fix they didn’t know they needed. With notes of Red Apple, Citruses, Bergamot Leaf and Bergamot., this gourmand scent is the ultimate lesson in indulgence (without the over-indulgent designer price!).   

Vera Wang’s eponymous scent, also named Vera Wang, is proof that sophistication over trends, always wins. A bountiful bouquet of Bulgarian rose, gardenia, and floral nectar, blends with a hint of musk, it’s got oh-so chic appeal. Whether you’re shopping for your mum or your partner, this scent is class all the way.  

Eilish by Billie Eilish

Whether you’re gifting for your little sister who’s Billie Eilish obsessed or your mum who’s yet to hear of her musical magic, Eilish is a fragrance that transcends all ages. Its refreshing top notes of mandarin, red berries and sugared petals awaken the senses with floral fruitiness before taking a delicious turn. As it develops, expect soft spices, rich cocoa and creamy vanilla before rounding off with warming musks and woods. Delicious! 

The scent that needs no introduction (but we’ll give you one anyway!), there’s 1 million reasons why this scent by Paco Rabanne remains one of the most-requested Christmas gifts. Maybe it’s the heady and distinct blend of sparkling fresh fruit, rose, cinnamon and musk, that keeps men – of all ages and styles – returning to it time and time again? Or its famed, long-lasting superpower? Whatever it is, if you’ve spotted the name gracing his wish list, why pay full price when you can save more at Saver’s?

Fresh. Fun. And truly unforgettable. If that’s how you describe him, then L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme from Issey Miyake will be a match made is scent heaven. Opening with a burst of vibrant Japanese yuzu, lemon, and mandarin orange, it then develops warmth at the heart via cinnamon and nutmeg, before settling to a spicy tobacco, sandalwood, and musk base.
