Nothing quite excites a beauty fan like a new bottle of perfume. Just one spritz of our favourite bottle is enough to change our mood for the entire day.

For some shoppers, it's the Paloma Picasso Eau de Parfum that has been a staple since the '80s, and we know where this beloved, yet often little known, fragrance can be bought for over half-price.

If you love floral, chypre perfumes that standout, then this perfume is worth stealing at up to 54% less for a 50ml bottle. Offering feminine florals fruits and woody aromas, it's a signature scent for many.

Hailed as a "sultry" floral fragrance, it boasts notes of feminine notes of angelica, carnation and blossoming rose that are enhanced with Amalfi lemon and bergamot.

Also offering aromas of jasmine, hyacinth and patchouli, alongside base notes of sandalwood, oak moss and musk, there's a reason it has been branded as a "signature" scent for many.

Classic perfumes are often still in high demand, with another standing the test of time being Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, first launched during the 50s, that costs £19.45 for a 76ml on Amazon, down from £45.

"This last one I purchased smells the same, but doesn’t last like it used to. The manufacturer has weakened the strength of it in my opinion."

Although, another pleased customer added: "Perfume from heaven when bought a good few years ago. I wanted to experience my 20/30s again and it didn’t disappoint me. Love it still."
