Sephora fans swoon over juicy mango perfume that's better than Jo Malone's take
"Very surprised with this one! At first, it's quite strong, but once it settles, it's a beautiful scent. It turned a few heads; many people were asking me what it was when I wore it to my sisters 40th!"

Sephora shoppers are snapping up a 'beautiful' Fugazzi scent that's ideal for summer. Magic Mango is exclusive to Sephora and a 50ml bottle is currently going for £80 although it's also available in an 8ml travel size (30ml) or 100ml bottle (£130).
The scent is a interesting blend of notes that, in my opinion, make it arguably better than the Jo Loves Mango Thai Lime (£82) crafted by world famous perfumer Jo Malone.
Magic Mango opens up with juicy mango, nutmeg and clove before settling into an unconventional heart of leather, saffron, moss and amber. It's rounded out with a base of akigalawood, patchouli, vetiver and cypriol.

On Sephora it's only brought in one review, the shopper said: "Very surprised with this one! At first, it's quite strong, but once it settles, it's a beautiful scent. It turned a few heads; many people were asking me what it was when I wore it to my sisters 40th!"
Over on Fragrantica, a website where fragrance fans share their thoughts on a range of scents, it's pulled in more reviews with one fan saying: "Magic Mango is a vibrant and unconventional fruity-woody fragrance where tropical freshness meets depth and character. It opens with a warm, spicy kick saffron takes the lead, adding a subtle exotic touch right from the start. Soon after, the composition softens into a refined and juicy mango note not overly sweet, but more like a chilled fruit sorbet."

Sephora Buy Now on Sephora Product Description
This Sephora exclusive scent is a juicy and woody mango that's perfect for summertime.
A second said: "Opens as a fizzy sweet mango but soon you can notice the saffron, leather and woody notes. You still get hints of a sweet mango but mixed with a spiced woody character to it. Decent but don't expect the sweetness of God of Fire/Vulcan Feu to it. A mature take on summer mango scents."

Our fragrance expert Jada Jones tried it and said: "I find mango can be hard to pull off ever since wearing The Body Shop's Mango Body Mist, there's something about mango that often juvenile. It can be hard to balance the juicy fruit with notes that don't push it too far into cloying but this one has actually managed it. I like it even more than Jo Loves Mango Thai Lime and think it does an incredible job of being a mature mango scent. This is great for summer."
Magic Mango is available from £30 from Sephora exclusively.

'Beautiful' £19 perfume set is 'great for taking on holidays'
The Ghost Goodie Bag is currently on offer for £19.09, and not only gets customers a selection of travel-friendly perfumes, but also a cute drawstring pouch to keep them in While some perfume fans prefer to stick to one signature scent, others enjoy rotating their fragrance collection to suit their mood. And Amazon is currently selling a gift set that gets shoppers six different scents for £3.18 each. The Ghost Goodie Bag is currently on offer for £19.09, and not only gets customers a selection of travel-friendly perfumes, but also a cute drawstring pouch to keep them in. According to the retailer, more than 200 of the bags have sold on Amazon in the last month, having proven popular with holidaymakers and early Christmas shoppers. Inside there are three 10ml bottles, including Whitelight Eau De Parfum, Deep Night Eau De Parfum and Daydream Eau De Parfum. There's also three 5ml bottles - Purity Eau De Parfum, Ghost The Fragrance Eau De Parfum and Sweetheart Eau De Parfum. For those looking for similar discovery sets, the Maison Margiela Memory Box, at Sephora, is the perfect way to trial or gift some of Maison Margiela's best-selling Replica fragrances. The set is composed of 10 x 2ml minis, totalling 20ml, each of which are designed to evoke different memories. The unisex scents include the likes of Lazy Sunday Morning, Jazz Club and Beach Walk. Currently reduced to £30.60, it's much more affordable than buying a 30ml bottle for £62. Alternatively, the Charlotte Tilbury Fragrance Collection Of Emotions Perfume Travel Trio Set, is available for £48 at Space NK. In the Ghost set, there's a total of 45ml of fragrance for under £20. A 50ml bottle of Ghost would typically cost between £40 and £45 at Boots, so it works out around half price, but with the benefit of variety and not being married to one bottle. The set currently boasts a 4.7 star rating on the online retailer's website. One shopper said: 'I'm so very happy with this product. You get a lovely bag the size of a make up bag with six little bottles of perfume inside. They all come in velvet bags inside the bag. All of the perfume smells beautiful. You get 3 bigger bottles and 3 smaller bottles. It's a beautiful gift to yourself or somebody else and I will buy one of these again in the future. Great for taking on holiday to put a few of your bits in along with the little bottles of perfume.' One thoughtful customer commented: 'Asked the girls in work to put their hand in the lovely bag to pull a smaller bag out. These were used as a kind gesture, to say thank you for a tough week. The ladies loved them and were so happy, absolutely great idea and will definitely buy again.' A third knocked a star off for the lids, writing: 'Great option before committing to a full size and great to drop them in your bag/pocket. The only negative point is that the little bottles don't have a screwing lid. It's just a pop one. Slight concern about them leaking or the liquid going everywhere when opened.' 'I love this little perfume collection,' said another, 'It comes in a lovely bag. Each perfume is in its own little bag and is perfect for carrying in your handbag. They smell great too. I've bought some as Christmas gifts.' The deal comes ahead of Amazon Prime Day, which runs from July 8 - 11 this year. It goes to show you don't necessarily need to wait until the event to bag a bargain, however, the discount days will see a number of offers across perfume and beauty, so it's well worth keeping an eye on. Shoppers can take a look at the Ghost Goodie Bag here.

'Gorgeous' designer perfume gets shoppers 'so many compliments'
There's currently an offer on the floral scent allowing shoppers to snap up two free gifts LookFantastic is now stocking Gucci Beauty and when buying full size 100ml perfumes from the range shoppers can look forward to a complimentary beauty pouch and 10ml bottle of Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia. The Gucci Gorgeous Flora range is now all available on the beauty giant with the free gifts available for anyone who spends £125 on the brand. The 10ml bottles come in at £26 while the 30ml are £70 so there is the option to invest in all four scents to qualify for the beauty pouch for those who don't want to commit to a full sized 100ml bottle for £138. As the name suggests all the perfumes derive inspiration from different flowers although our team perfume expert's personal favourite is Gorgeous Orchid. It blends together vibrant vanilla notes with a fresh marine ozonic accord. Britney Fantasy Intimate Fantasy (£49, Boots) is another example of an ozonic gourmand but it does have more of a fruity touch. Jada Jones said: "I'm not always drawn to floral scents, with my personal tastes definitely sitting more in the gourmand perfume space, so I was pleasantly surprised with Gorgeous Orchid which is inspired by the vanilla orchid. I love vanilla scents, to the point that my friends and family all tease me about how obsessed I am. "There is definitely a floral touch to this perfume but it's very wearable. I don't reach for this everyday but it's a great option for those looking for the sweet spot between floral and gourmand. The longevity really impressed me, if I put this on in the morning I can still smell it that night, which is quite refreshing when I've been having to top up Ariana Grande's Lovenotes (£60, Superdrug) hourly." It's not just Jada that's a fan, Gorgeous Orchid has pulled in over 1,900 five-star ratings on LookFantastic. One shopper said: "I love this my new favourite fragrance, obsessed with it now. I received so many compliments whilst wearing it and it lasts so long." Another, who isn't usually drawn to florals, said: "I'm not usually a fan of floral perfumes, but this has surprised me. It smells fresh and clean and different to anything else on the market. I had two compliments on it both really positive! It's definitely going on my Christmas list." One shopper found the scent to be overpoweringly floral, saying: "Not the one for me. It's very sweet which I like but I found it very over powering with the floral scent. Definitely has long lasting staying power. If you like a floral scent you will love this." One shopper even claimed to find a coconut water note, writing: "This fragrance is a sweet floral with a bright opening that feels a bit aquatic. After a while it turns into a light floral that is slightly powdery, and I can detect a coconut water scent as well that almost reminds me of the beach. It's a lovely designer fragrance if you like bright and soft floral scents."
