When it comes to perfumes, the criteria we’re always looking for is a great smell and a long-lasting scent. And really, what more could you need from a fragrance?
Luckily, it seems Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Ever So Fresh manages to tick off all those boxes and more. Not to mention it’s currently got a more than impressive discount applied to it, as LookFantastic has slashed the price by 50% for a limited time.

Usually priced at £95 for a 75ml bottle, it’s currently reduced to just £47.50. The 50ml bottle is the only one with 50% discount applied, however the 30ml bottle is now £49.60 down from £62, and the 125ml bottle has been slashed to £93.60 from £117, so you can still make decent savings on the perfume.
The Daisy Ever So Fresh is one of the latest additions to Marc Jacobs’ Daisy perfume collection, and combines soft floral notes with fresh and zesty citrus scents. The top notes include mandarin, mango and pineapple, whilst the heart notes are rosewater and orange blossom essence.
Finishing off with base notes of cashmere woods, the perfume is perfect for transitioning from summer into autumn, bringing a fresh and fruity summer feel with warm and cosy undertones. If you love a fresh and zesty perfume, there are several other scents with similar notes to shop too.
Kayali’s Marrakesh Orange Blossom 24 Eau de Parfum is £79 for a 50ml bottle, and combines notes of orange blossom, pink pepper and bergamot with cedar, neroli and Turkish rose. Meanwhile The 7 Virtues Clementine Dream Eau De Parfum is £85 for a 50ml bottle, and combines mandarin oil and vibrant cassis with delicate florals, vanilla and upcycled black amber for a warm and zesty scent.
Finally we also love Phlur’s Tangerine Boy Eau De Parfum, which is slightly pricier at £99 for 50ml. However this is the one to go for if you want something super zesty and fresh, with top notes of lemon, ginger and black pepper, heart notes of apple, tangerine and jasmine, and base notes of amber and moss.
However if you want to pick up the Daisy Ever So Fresh, it’s also gotten rave reviews from shoppers, who loved its smell and longevity.
One said the perfume was “bright and fresh” and added: “Bought as a gift for a friend and she loved it. Could smell it on her all day.”
Whilst a second wrote: “Lighter weight perfume lovely for work or everyday not over powering but a lovely smell and a beautiful bottle!”
A third agreed: “Smells lovely and fresh always get compliments when I wear it.”
One reviewer did mention about the Daisy Ever So Fresh: “It’s a lovely fresh scent, perfect for everyday wear. However as it’s quite light I wouldn’t say it’s very long lasting.”
Whilst another agreed: “Great smell but unfortunately it doesn’t last that long.”

However others disagreed, writing: “This has a lovely scent to it, not too heavy. For me, the scent lasted a long time and wasn’t like some scents that disappear quickly.”
Loose Women star Penny Lancaster has been in a relationship with Rod Stewart for more than 20 years and she looks back on their romance in her new memoir Someone Like Me

Sir Rod Stewart would do anything for wife Penny Lancaster – and over the years he has proved that time and time again. In her new book, Penny recalls how Rod quit drugs, U-turned on a vow not to have kids and even got down on the dodgy knee he damaged playing football to propose, when he had insisted he wouldn’t walk down the aisle again.
Penny, 54, says in her memoir she doesn’t like the phrase that she “tamed him” instead preferring to see Rod and their relationship as “nurtured”. But he has certainly mellowed during their 26 year relationship.
She was upset he had been photographed with Caprice Bourret in Summer 1999 after they had been on some dates, and Rod had been reduced to calling her daily to try to woo her back. While their relationship was still in its infancy Penny told Rod: “If you want to date all these women go ahead, but just so we’re clear it’s not for me.” After laying down more ground rules Rod replied quite: “Okay, lets give it go.”

He then added: “But don’t think that you’re going to be the next Mrs Stewart. I don’t want to get married and I don’t want anymore babies.” Undaunted Penny then responded saying: “I’m happy to enjoy our time together, but just to let you know that at some point down the line, I will want to have a baby.” Rod hung his head and didn’t reply.
The relationship then continued but at a slow pace as Penny was finishing a photography diploma course at Barking College and Rod was on the road. But they managed a holiday to the Carribean.
Despite his reputation for being “as tight as two coats of paint” Rod surprised Penny by buying a whole wardrobe of clothes for her which were all hung up when she landed in Barbados. Penny recalls they were “all short dresses” as Rod was, and presumably still is, “a leg man”.
Other far flung holidays to the South of France continued their fun in the sun but Penny says initially she found their time in Los Angeles tricky as Rod’s home there had previously been shared with his former wife Rachel Hunter, and she and his kids from previous marriages were around and yet to fully warm to her. Rod has been married three times and has eight children.
“I found having to immerse myself in Rod’s complicated private life was not without its difficulties and tensions. His past relationships felt like a juggernaut thundering towards me.”
Thankfully over time this got easier and after Christmas with the Stewart clan in 1999 she had fully fallen in love with Rod. But as the years went by Penny knew she may have to end the relationship at some point if she wanted to have a family.
In September 2004 though Rod shocked her when they were chatting at their home by saying “Let’s make a baby”. She says her heart “skipped a beat” as at 33 she knew she needed to make a decision about her long term future soon, and had been wondering what to do at the crossroads in her life.
Rod was so serious he even gave up cocaine aged “almost 60” when they began trying for a child. Although his wild days were over, his “party routine” included recreational drugs and he dabbled on the “odd occasion”.
Penny writes: “Cocaine could make him distant and dismissive, and I didn’t like how it changed him. Now, if Rod and I were to plan a baby together, I didn’t consider it a choice that this aspect of Rod’s life could ever be in the mix.”
She didn’t think it could continue if they were to start a family and after a heart to heart Rod agreed to quit and said: “I want to be healthy, for us to stand the best chance.” Penny then fell pregnant in the run up to Christmas 2004 but sadly had a miscarriage days later. However in the Spring shortly before Penny turned 34, Rod proposed at the Eiffel Tower and she became pregnant around this time too.
“For christ sake say something Pen! I’m on my dodgy knee!” Was the funny line Rod pleaded as he proposed with Penny’s parents looking on during the emotional moment.
Alastair, 19, was born later in the year whilst his younger brother Aiden, 14, was the result of successful IVF. But that was not straightforward for the couple.
Rod refused to “do the deed” in the clinic which meant them delivering his test tubes of sperm via a speedy trips to clinic in his Ferrari down Rodeo Drive in LA. Rod also reluctantly ditched his trademark tight pants for boxers to stop his sperm overheating, but his sacrifices were small compared to his wife.
Looking back Penny describes the time as a “physical and emotional juggernaut” and she felt like a “human pincushion” with all the jabs that are needed. In the US there was “crushing disappointment” as two rounds failed so Penny tried again at IVF Clinic London and they eventually had baby joy after one of the three embryos they transferred lasted the distance and Penny was pregnant again.
After giving birth in February 2011 the family was complete. “Watching my boys grow up has given me so much happiness over the years, they are the sunshine in my day,” Penny writes.

Last week Penny gave an interview to promote her new book Someone Like Me and revealed at the very start of their relationship in 1999, singer Rod wooed her during a tour of his Victorian Pre-Raphaelite art collection at his home in Essex. Penny momentarily reclined on his four-poster bed, and the rock icon leant down for a lingering ‘upside-down kiss’, which turned her “whole body” to jelly. Penny describes the new book as a reflection “upon my lessons in life, love and the importance in staying true to yourself through it all.”
Someone Like Me by Penny Lancaster is published by Bloomsbury and out now.
Annie Lennox, who is celebrating 50 years in showbiz, has re-released her hit single with all the money raised going to Palestinian-led organisations on the front line in Gaza

Annie Lennox says seeing people being displaced in Gaza hit her hard
Trailblazing for 50 years, with her distinctive androgynous look and stunning voice, Annie Lennox is as cool and relevant today as she was when she burst onto the music scene in the 1970s with new wave band The Tourists.
Achieving worldwide success when she and Dave Stewart – her sometime romantic partner – then formed Eurythmics and she appeared in the 1983 music video for Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) wearing a man’s lounge suit and with orange cropped hair, she has been surprising people ever since.
A fabulously successful solo artist, she has now re-released her 1992 hit single Why? from her debut solo album Diva, in support of the charitable Together for Palestine fund.
Making some contribution to bringing peace to the Middle East is now her number one priority.
Mum to daughters Lola and Tali by her ex-husband, Israeli record producer Uri Fruchtmann, she says of the devastating conflict in Gaza: “I just want the war to end. Politicians are supposed to have dialogue and supposed to avoid conflict. We all know war is the most heinous destructive force on the planet, but I just want peace.
“When I saw the violence on October 7 two years ago it was shocking. I knew it was going to unleash the gates of hell. I believed something terrible was going to happen and we have all been watching it since. On your phone you can see day to day what is going on. I have seen the most horrendous things and I don’t want to see them again, ever.”
Every penny from Why? goes to Palestinian-led organisations at the frontline of the crisis, such as Taawon, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and the Palestinian Medical Relief Society.
She says: “I have tried to contribute in my own way. I just want to see peace and see a ceasefire and see them stop killing men, women and children. Seeing people being displaced has hit me so hard.
“I have two daughters and their father is from Israel. Having children is the biggest change one can ever experience. I am so grateful for it. It made me a nicer person and it fulfilled me. You love them so much.”
She adds: “I will tell you why I speak up: because it is nothing to what these people have to endure.”
In London, to launch her new photographic memoir, Retrospective, documenting her incredible career – which has seen her win eight Brit awards, four Grammys, an Oscar, a Golden Globe plus multiple Ivor Novello song-writing awards – Annie, 70, says success nearly passed her by.
The tough-talking Scot, who was born in Aberdeen on Christmas Day 1954, says bosses at RCA Records could not understand what Eurythmics were all about when they formed in 1980.
She remembers: “We formed after our first band The Tourists split. We loved the name Eurythmics. As we loved being European and “rhythm” is in the name there. Nobody else got it but us.
“We really struggled but a new A&R man really loved us and said ‘Basically, there is only one band I am taking on’ and it was us. They let a lot of bands go, which was a shame, but it was good for us. If it had not had worked I thought I would have to go back to Scotland. Success takes you on these tremendous highs and it can take you down as well.”
The band’s debut single Never Gonna Cry only made it to No.63 in the charts. But just three years later, they broke through with their international bestselling single Love Is A Stranger, which peaked at No.2 in the UK.
The rest, as they say is history, as the band dominated the charts throughout the 80s with hits such as Sweet Dreams, Who’s That Girl?, Right By Your Side, Here Comes The Rain Again and Sexcrime.
Annie’s ferocious vocals were inimitable, while her crew cut orange hair immediately set a fashion trend for the start of the power dressing 80s.
But her role as a style icon was an accident.
“I had no idea the haircut would be iconic,” laughs Annie. “I guess Dave and I were on a mission.
“We had gone through so much. We had nothing to lose. I felt I had nothing to lose. It was only later that we understood what we had done. We were in the pursuit of excellence.
“We lived to make music. If you are going to pursue excellence that is what you have to do. You have to have a passion for it. The clothes gave us an identity. I guess we all have a sense of style.
“When you have the opportunity you go for it. They wanted us in Australia, Japan, Germany, Holland. France so we travelled a lot. We were always on the road.
“We were writing, recording, doing videos, performing and being exhausted after doing two hour shows, dancing, sweating and peeling off the leather at the end of the night.”
As well as travelling the world, the band found themselves in demand and soon recording with some of the biggest stars in the world, including soul queen Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder,who played harmonica on their 80s No.1 smash There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart).
But Annie remembers how Stevie kept them hanging on, saying: “He did keep us waiting in the studio. That is another story. But I sat on the floor in the studio in awe when he recorded with us. I remember his assistant put a bean bag around his head so his beads did not make any noise when we recorded.”
In awe of his talent, she adds: “It was intimidating and there you are with him, it was unbelievable.”
David Bowie inspired the same admiration, at the star studded Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1992, held to honour the late Queen frontman a year after his death from AIDs.
“I sang Under Pressure with David, which he had done with Freddie. He did put his arm around me and you can see his thumb on my back in the photos. That is as close as we got, but that’s not bad is it? I was drawn to connect with him, not just stand next to him.
“I did not really know the song that well and when you take on a song you have to embody it. You have to really sing it over and over. I had to really get into that with David and the band which happened to be Queen. Singing it was a lot of pressure like ‘Under pressure…I am under pressure!’”
Despite selling over 75 million records, Annie confesses that fame still does not sit comfortably with her, saying: “Being famous is like having two heads. Like you have one on your shoulder like one is Annie and one is Annie Lennox. I want to be remembered for who I am and I am Annie.
“People do look at you. It ain’t an easy gig. I don’t mean like ‘Oh poor me’. I did not have any thoughts about fame when it first happened. It is not until you have found success that there are rules.
“I am just a normal person really. I am not starry starry or a ‘friend of the stars’. I am a shy, modest person. I like to be modest and I like the quality of modesty.”
For the foreseeable future, Annie plans to keep campaigning for change – continuing to use her unique voice and slogan T-shirts to get her message across on the world stage.
She says: “I wear T-shirts with slogans on because I don’t need fancy gowns. I don’t need any of that. I like to use my platform, you know.
“Whenever my time comes to pop my clogs and depart this earth I want to feel I did the best I could.”
Actor William Shatner has addressed his health following reports that he had been rushed to hospital this week. The Star Trek star was thought to have experienced a ‘medical emergency’ involving his blood sugar levels recently.
William, 94, best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the franchise, was said to have been taken to hospital after falling ill at home. He’s posted a message for fans on Instagram in which he shared an update on his health.
He told his followers in the caption of his post, which was uploaded earlier this afternoon: “I over indulged.” William went on to say as part of his message on the platform today: “I thank you all for caring but I’m perfectly fine.”

The post also included a photo of William that’s understood to show him in character as Mark Twain. He portrayed the late writer in an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, broadcast on CBC in Canada, where the show originates, in 2016.
Text over the photo from the episode seemingly referenced a similar quote that is often attributed to Mark, whose novels include the Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). It read: “Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!”
William’s post was met with supportive messages from fans, who shared their relief over the update from the Emmy award winner. One wrote in the comments section of his post on the platform earlier today: “I’m happy you are ok!”
Another said in their response to the news: “I’m glad you’re okay, I almost started crying.” A third said: “Thank goodness for that.” Someone else said: “I am so relieved that you are ok. Stay well, take really good care of yourself.”

Another fan wrote in a message to William following the update from him: “Sending healing vibes to you.” And sharing their thoughts, one person commented: “Great news!” They continued by writing: “Glad to hear you’re okay.”
William has spoken about his health over the years. He’s also discussed his mortality, with the actor having once shared his thoughts whilst promoting his documentary You Can Call Me Bill, which was released back in 2023.
He told Variety that year: “I’ve turned down a lot of offers to do documentaries before. But I don’t have long to live. Whether I keel over as I’m speaking to you or 10 years from now, my time is limited, so that’s very much a factor.”
William added in the interview with the outlet that he has grandchildren now too. He described the documentary, which he narrated, as a way of “reaching out” after he dies.
Asked about his legacy, William suggested at the time that people often aren’t remembered long term. He however said that “good deeds” live on as such an act “reverberates to the end of time”.

The Scottish singer claims she was in awe of the music legend but had to cut him off because he had taken some drugs.

Lulu lifts the lid on her wild romance with icon David Bowie(Image: Getty Images)
Lulu has shared intimate details of her affair with David Bowie for the first time – saying it was “deeper than sex”. The Shout singer had a romance with the Starman icon in the 1970s after meeting at a hotel in Sheffield.
Detailing her first night of passion with the Ziggy Stardust legend, Lulu said her memory is a bit hazy due to being a bit tipsy. “You know what, I have never said ‘Yes, I had sex with David Bowie’ until now,” she coughed. “This is the first time I’ve said it because I’ve always chose not to speak about it.
It was private, they said. And I think I was a little upset if I’m completely honest, which I have done. I don’t recall anything at all. I can’t remember the details, but I wouldn’t say that he got me there and that we performed the acts in his room, which is okay because I can’t remember them. I do have limitations. I’m developing my own boundaries.
She continued, “But the point is, I did, and it was a fantastic experience to be in his orbit.” He gave me a special treat.
Scottish singer Lulu – famous for hits like To Sir With Love and Relight My Fire with Take That – enjoyed a fling with Bowie in the mid 70s, while he was married to wife Angie. She said he was extremely supportive of her career and recalled how he gave valuable advice on what musical direction she should go in.
She recalls that “he was the coolest dude on the block.” He promised to record me. I entered my hotel room as soon as I returned to my room that night. a phone rang He was it. I had just abandoned him. And the message was, “We’re going to do this.” Oh my God, I believe he is serious, I thought to myself. “
She asserts that their attraction wasn’t just about sex. Lulu said, “I’m only looking to be loved and to give love.” And I don’t mean that I want sex, either. There is much more to it than that. And we all shared that. He seemed to be watching me.
Lulu famously covered David Bowie’s song “The Man Who Sold the World” in 1974. Bowie wrote the song, played backing vocals, and sax. Although Lulu also made his albums Can You Hear Me and Dodo, they were never made public. Lulu, who described Bowie as a “chameleon,” said he wanted to alter how she looked, which led to a confrontation.
He leaped forward to me while we were sitting, and she said, “I think you could lose a little weight,” he said. I was overcome. Because I don’t believe I’m fat, but you’re right, he was emaciated, and I believe he really wanted to redesign me so that he could make the best use of me.
Ultimately she cut ties with him because he wasn’t good for her. Speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast, she said: “I would have loved it to have continued, but you know, when I then went to New York to do the next lot of recordings, David was not in a place that I felt comfortable with because he was doing a lot of drugs.
“I was a lot of fun. Because I decided to return to London, the conversation didn’t go any further than that. I’m not at ease. And you decide whether or not to remove yourself, politely or not. I did that with Bowie, too.
He obviously assumed that I was angry with him. I wasn’t angry with him, even though I was, well, frustrated. I mean, I adored him and adored his talent. However, I argued, “You can’t just sit around here.”
Bowie died in 2016, aged 69. Lulu was married to Bee Gees star Maurice Gibb in 1969 and divorced four years later. Lulu later had one son, Jordan Frieda, with her second husband, celebrity hairstylist John Frieda. She later said she struggles to find a man because of the heartbreak of her past relationships.
Last week Lulu admitted she had been struggling with her own addiction problems, revealing she was an alcoholic. She explained how she’d developed a drinking problem in her 60s, turning to wine as she coped with menopause, losing her parents, and seeing her children leave home. Speaking about it was “liberating”, said Lulu.

Ricky Hatton’s manager, Paul Speak, has spoken of his “shock and confusion” upon discovering the lifeless body of the former world champion boxer. Paul, who had worked with Ricky for nearly three decades, found his friend dead at his home in Greater Manchester earlier this month.
He has now opened up about the wave of emotions that hit him as he processed the scene before him. Speaking to Boxing News magazine, Paul, who had gone to Ricky’s home to take him to the airport for a flight to Dubai, said: “The lights weren’t on, which I thought was strange.
He overslept, I thought, but that’s not typical. Oversleeping is common. I went inside and yelled, “Rick, Rick, wake up! ” while holding a key. ‘”.

I listened to music coming from the upstairs, so I went upstairs. I observed him. It took some time for me to process it. I was overcome with shock, confusion, loss, and many other emotions. Then I called the ambulance and the police.
Paul reaffirmed his conviction that the sports legend had no intention of doing it, saying that he had everything to live for. He claimed that Ricky had been making numerous plans and was “in a really good place” prior to his 46th birthday.
“He’d arranged to take his daughters to see Oasis next week,” he said. “He was planning to go to Thailand for the WBC convention and a holiday after his fight. He’d just booked a flight to Tenerife for Christmas.
Paul stated that he was speaking out to prevent wrong speculation from being said. He claimed that there had been “a lot of rubbish,” especially regarding rumors involving Ricky’s parents.
He claimed that the boxer shared a warm embrace with his mother a week prior. He added that he had a plan to travel to Dubai with his father in the future.
Ricky told his daughters that when they first saw him box, Ricky was “in a really good place” and that he was excited for them.
Paul admitted that his mate’s passing wouldn’t have been “as big a shock” if it had happened ten years earlier than Ricky had previously revealed openly about his mental health struggles. He described how Ricky and he had always been together during both of their highest and lowest points.
Ricky’s death sent shockwaves across the world earlier this month. With celebrities and pals all sharing heartbreaking memories of the star, pal Kerry Katona recently spoke about her regret that keeps replaying in her head.

Writing in her weekly New! Kerry, a columnist for The New York Times, described a conversation she had had with Ricky over the summer while they were both on Ibiza. She admits to turning him down when he asked her to meet him, though. When I learned about Ricky Hatton’s passing, it really shook me. She referred to him as a “great friend.”
He asked me to meet up twice while I was in Ibiza recently, but I declined because I didn’t want to leave and just wanted to chill, but now that is what I’m thinking.
