These £4 high street fashion brand perfumes smell much more expensive than they are

Our beauty editor says I couldn’t believe how good these two new perfumes smell and look because a high street fashion label isn’t typically my first choice for fragrance.

These two new fragrances from a fashion brand have a lot of our hearts.

There are no longer times when you have to spend a lot of money to purchase good perfume. There are many excellent, more affordable scents available today, from M&amp’s well-known £10 perfumes to The Body Shop’s new autumnal offerings, despite the fact that luxury fragrances frequently outperform in terms of complexity and longevity.

I must admit that high street fashion labels aren’t typically the first place I look for when purchasing a new fragrance, so when Kate Garraway recently wore them on GMB, I was unsure of what to expect when they announced they were starting a fragrance line.

Never Fully Dressed has begun with new scents that are priced at £69 (priced at £19), 10ml (£19), and little 2ml (£4), as well as luxury scented candles (£39).

NFD Eau De Parfum 001 is described as ‘a rich, sexy scent, made for golden hour’, with notes of bergamot, coffee, oud and vanilla’, while the brand calls NFD Eau De Parfum 002 ‘a fresh, fruity fragrance for the day’, featuring pink pepper, raspberry, jasmine and patchouli.

Before I could even smell the bottles, what struck me immediately was how gorgeous they are: they already appear much more expensive than they actually are and have serious dressing table appeal (the bottle design reminds me a little bit of Molton Brown’s £140 eau de parfums).

The 002 is the lighter, more wearable, and the one I predict will be the most well-liked because of how elegant and easy to wear summery it is. It’s a little bit fruity, sweet, and warm and sunny.

However, I’d pick 001 because it contains some of my favorite fragrance notes, like vanilla, tobacco, and coffee. I love this fragrance because it’s rich, seductive, and comforting without being overpowering (don’t let the oud off you, though), but it’s also sexy, and comforting. Although I haven’t smelled the candle, I bet that it creates a lovely evening or autumn scent.

I highly advise purchasing the 2ml or 10ml testers first if you don’t want to spend money on a full-size bottle. Overall, these two new releases have really impressed me, and they have given me a lot of new fashion brand scents. Next up on my list are Next’s Summer Sun ($10) and M&amp’s S Discover Sweet Pistachio Eau de Toilette ($10).

Rylan Clark, a presenter for BBC Radio 2, has revealed that he is “very happy” after finding a new partner and that both he and his boyfriend are eager to start a family.

The former X Factor contestant split with his ex-husband Dan Neal in 2021 and the radio presenter’s romantic life has been the subject of huge curiosity and rumours among his followers ever since.

He revealed to documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux that, in the most recent episode of his Rylan: How to Be in Love podcast, he had found love once more.

Before Louis turned the tables and focused on Rylan, who had been posing a question that has been in fans’ minds for a while, Rylan had been the one to ask the questions.

Louis posed the question to Rylan, asking, “Am I right to believe that you’ve been in a relationship since starting this series”?

Rylan simply said, “I have. I’m very happy at the time of recording.

Rylan is considering having children in the future, Louis asked the host, “Yeah. 100%. I want children. He desires children.

He kept his guard and didn’t elaborate on who the potential new partner in his life might be, but he did point out how much managing his new romance has helped him with his new podcast. He continued, “I’ve picked up a number of tips. Perhaps this is where I’ve gone wrong in the past.

Rylan has previously opened up openly about the causes of the breakdown in their relationship.

The pair first connected when Dan appeared on the 2013 episode of Big Brother’s Bit on the Side alongside Rylan and the pair.

In 2014, the couple made their engagement announcement. Following their engagement, they exchanged vows at a celebrity-filled wedding celebration a year later.

As he embarks on a quest to “rediscover what love is,” Rylan has dedicated each installment of his podcast to conversation with various well-known personalities and experts.

Women’s Rugby World Cup: England v United States

Venue: Stadium of Light, Sunderland Date: Friday 22 August Kick-off: 19: 30 BST

England have named an unchanged starting XV for Friday’s opening game of the Women’s Rugby World Cup against the United States in Sunderland.

Head coach John Mitchell has stuck with the same side that started the victory over France on 9 August, which was the Red Roses ‘ last warm-up game before the tournament.

Captain Zoe Aldcroft will lead her side out at a home World Cup from blind-side flanker, with 2014 World Cup-winner Alex Matthews starting at number eight.

Among the replacements is another World Cup-winner, Emily Scarratt, who could become the first English rugby union player to play in five World Cups, having made her debut the last time England hosted the tournament in 2010.

A record crowd for a Women’s Rugby World Cup opening match is expected with more than 40, 000 tickets sold for the game at Stadium of Light.

England, who are favourites to win the tournament, are on a 27-game winning run, with their last defeat coming against New Zealand in the 2022 World Cup final.

“We have been building nicely into the tournament and now we’re excited to get our campaign under way”, Mitchell said.

“Sunderland has been a great host city thus far and we know it’ll be a record crowd for a Women’s Rugby World Cup opening match which shows the appetite for rugby in this region and for the competition ahead.

” We want to embrace the occasion while understanding we have to earn the right to progress through the pool stage. “

Locks Abbie Ward and Morwenna Talling continue in the second row, with Hannah Botterman, Amy Cokayne and Maud Muir making up the front row.

Natasha Hunt and Zoe Harrison are once more the preferred half-back pairing, while Vice-captain Megan Jones and established midfield partner Tatyana Heard start.

In the Six Nations last year, Jessica Breach, Abby Dow, and Ellie Kildunne combined scored 18 tries to form a deadly back three.

Line-up

Kildunne, Dow, Jones, Heard, Breach, Harrison, Hunt, Botterman, Cokayne, Muir, Talling, Ward, Aldcroft (capt), Kabeya, Matthews, England XV.

King Charles invites rarely-seen royal family member to summer holiday in Balmoral

As they take a summer vacation at the royals’ Balmoral estate, it is thought that Prince Beatrice’s stepson will be there with her and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

A rarely-seen member of the Royal Family looks set to join King Charles and the rest of the Firm at Balmoral.

Charles officially kicked off his holiday in the Scottish Highlands earlier this week, where he is expected to be joined by multiple members of his family.

And it seems among those on the guest list is an under-the-radar member of the family, who will get to enjoy the countless outdoor activities on offer in the Aberdeenshire countryside. That’s because Princess Beatrice’s stepson Christopher Woolf, also known as Wolfie, is set to travel to the royals’ estate with her and his dad, Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Beatrice, who is also mum to daughters Sienna and Athena, will reportedly join the Balmoral getaway, along with her sister Princess Eugenie and her family, as well as their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. A family friend told the Daily Mail: “He will enjoy a wonderful holiday of outdoor activities such as wild swimming and cycling.”

Edo and Wolfie’s mum, American architect Dara Huang, have tried to fiercely guard the privacy of their nine-year-old son. However, he has now made several public outings with the royals, including at Sandringham last Christmas, where he joined in with the traditional walk to church. His trip to Balmoral will also come after he spent time on holiday in Florida with his mum earlier this summer.

We didn’t get any photos of Wolfie because he played a leading role in Beatrice and Edo’s royal wedding in 2020 because they chose to keep the details a secret. He served both his father’s and his page boy as best man.

The youngster was reportedly asked to play the role because they wanted to appoint him to be embraced and loved by Beatrice, according to a couple’s friend.

They stated that “Bea is completely interested in the stepmum role.” She makes every effort to become Wolfie’s second mother, and she is very concerned about getting it right. She talks about him nonstop and is utterly dedicated to him.

They added that Beatrice is diligent about making sure Wolfie is aware of his two families, including ensuring that their home contains photos of him.

It was only natural for Wolfie to join Bea’s family because she has always been so close to her.

He is both adorable and a fantastic little boy. Although Bea is so compassionate, her happiness will always be top of her list of priorities as she watches what happens when they start a family.

On Monday morning, Charles arrived at the Aberdeenshire castle in his state Bentley for his official welcome to Balmoral. He inspected regimental mascot Corporal Cruachan IV, a Shetland pony, as it stood with handler Corporal Rory Stewart as the monarch inspected his Royal Guard.

A Guard of Honour was held by Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (SCOTS) to officially welcome the King to Balmoral, although he attended a church service there on Sunday in a private capacity.

In a display of pageantry that was closely related to this year’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, soldiers from across the regiment gave a performance from the Pipes and Drums, which were formed by soldiers from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions.
