If you're on the hunt for the ultimate summer scent, many fragrance lovers would point you in the direction of Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc if you asked them for a suggestion for a well-loved, all-rounder. With crisp bergamot, creamy pistachio and a sumptuous base of coco de mer, the luxe fragrance is a perfect warm weather pick to conjure up seaside escapes and sun-drenched cocktail sessions. However, at £220 full price for a 50ml bottle , it's money that could have gone into building up a holiday fund.
However, we may just have a way for you to get the vacation you want AND the luxurious scent to pack in your cabin case, and it lies in a Marks & Spencer new launch: No.4 Under the Palms Eau de Parfum Set, £16 . "Marks & Spencer are becoming almost as well known for their fab fragrances as they are for their undies - and many of them are (whisper it) great dupes of much more expensive scents.
This is certainly true for brand new Under The Palms , which bears more than a passing resemblance to Tom Ford’s delicious Soleil Blanc, but at £16 is a whopping £204 cheaper. You could quite literally go on holiday with the savings," says Hannah Britt, beauty journalist and fragrance expert.

Gourmand fruity florals, each has serotonin-boosting solar - or sunny notes, conjuring up images of a luxurious tropical holiday. Think creamy coconut and orange. Hey Bali, is that you? Yup, M&S have another hit on their hands and at just £16 Under The Palms is sure to sell out - and fast.
So run, don’t walk, and it up before it does." You don't need to tell us twice, Hannah! If you're shopping around for other summer-ready fragrances, we can also highly recommend taking a look at Marc Jacobs' new Daisy fragrance. Daisy Wild has a bold and feminine floral scent inspired by the great outdoors, while still maintaining the whimsical notes that make the original Daisy so popular.
Daisy was created to give a scent to a flower that has no natural aroma, and this new Daisy Wild is inspired by wildflower bouquets..
