Nivea's best-selling perfume hailed as 'summer in a bottle' is now on sale

There's something special about bagging a new perfume, particularly when it comes with a discount. Currently, Amazon has slashed the price of a fragrance that's charming shoppers with its nostalgic, holiday-inspired notes.

Nivea's Sun Eau De Toilette is now available for £17.16 (originally £28.50) for a 30ml bottle, saving fans £9.45. Customers are smitten, dubbing it 'summer in a bottle' and vowing they'd 'buy it again.

The scent draws inspiration from Nivea's iconic sunscreen, designed to stir up memories of relaxed beach holidays and the salty sea air. It starts with fresh citrus and delicate florals, anchored by a warm, woody base and finished with a soft, airy freshness that lingers like a day spent basking in the sun.

Even the bottle exudes sunny vibes. Its smooth, rounded design features a glowing sunset-style gradient, making it look as summery on your dressing table as it smells on your skin, reports OK!.

Of course, there's a plethora of other summer-ready perfumes out there. For those who adore holiday scents, Maison Margiela's Beach Walk is worth checking out. Pricier at £52.70, it's a splurge-worthy fragrance that smells like coconut and citrus. Alternatively, Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 62 (£24) is a classic pick. With notes of pistachio and salted caramel, it's inspired by the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.

For those still enamoured with Nivea's Sun Eau de Toilette, it has garnered a host of positive reviews. One enthusiast remarked: "Absolutely love this and it's just summer holidays in a bottle. It's my everyday perfume now. It smells gorgeous and I get lots of compliments when I wear it! Total must for the summer."

Another perfume lover admitted: "I'm very fussy with scent, and many of them smell awful when applied to my skin. However, I went by the other reviews, and I'm so pleased that I did. It doesn't smell quite as I expected, but I think it's lovely."

Describing the fragrance, a customer said: "A very summery-but-not-flowery scent. Not too overpowering. But warm and subtle. I can see myself buying this again."

Yet, not all feedback was glowing. A less satisfied customer shared: "I have to say I was excited at getting this perfume as I used to love the smell of Nivea oil when we went to the beach when I was a kid, but this did nothing for me at all."

They continued: "Maybe it just did not agree with my skin type, but I don't like it, not even after letting it wear in a bit. It's a shame, but I guess not every perfume suits every person."

However, another contented reviewer added their voice: "Love, love, love this. It smells like holidays. I highly recommend it. I don't find the scent fades; I could still smell it at the end of the day."
