Fragrance fans say this new £25 fruity scent ‘looks like DKNY and is perfect for autumn'
As a beauty editor, I've tried and tested hundreds of perfumes, and nowadays I really don't believe that you need to spend a fortune to get a gorgeous scent. I often reach for TikTok-viral fragrance brand PHLUR, for example, over my designer perfumes, and it makes some really lovely, luxe-looking body mists that start from £25.
Missing Person and Vanilla Skin are some of PHLUR's most popular scents, but a new one has just dropped that has already got beauty fans excited.
PHLUR's Mrs Smith Hair & Body Fragrance Mist has dropped today on the PHLUR website and on Space NK, priced at £25 for a 3oz bottle and £38 for an 8oz one. A crisp, juicy concoction inspired by the taste of a freshly picked apple, its top notes are Granny Smith apple, pear and watermelon, with a heart of apple blossom, violet and Pink Lady apple. Finally, it settles down into lingering base notes of pink praline and musk nectar.
I've already had a sniff of this new body mist, and can confirm that it's utterly delectable – more crisp and fresh than a lot of PHLUR's other scents, which tend to lean more towards gourmand – and smells exactly like biting into a fresh green apple.
As Mrs Smith has only just hit the shops, there aren't any shopper reviews of it yet online, however Reddit users' interest was certainly piqued when they heard news of it launching:
"You had me at Granny Smith! Bet this will be a perfect scent for early fall or next spring!" one person wrote.
"IKR? But like 'early fall'! It would be a great scent right as it starts to get a bit chiller, but not really cold," someone else agreed. "Or when spring first starts and you want a really fresh scent on!"
A third person, however, compared it to an iconic perfume: DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Parfum, which starts from £47. "This looks very DKNY Be Delicious and I'm here for it!" they wrote.
One potential downside to using a body mist instead of a traditional perfume is its longevity; they're just not going to last as long on the skin as eau de toilettes or eau de parfums. However, you are of course paying less money per ml, so you can be a bit more free and easy with the spritzing.
If you are looking for other fruity fragrances that lasts a bit longer, Kayali has some excellent options. Have a sniff of Kayali Eden Sparkling Lychee | 39 Eau de Parfum, £73, or Kayali LOVEFEST Burning Cherry | 48, £73.

Jojo Siwa accused of 'disrespecting' Eminem with new single
JoJo Siwa has come under fire from fans for her new single, which some have taken as a slight against the Real Slim Shady, aka Eminem. JoJo, 22, released a clip from the upcoming song to her social media this weekend in response to 'haters' of her recent Bette Davis Eyes cover. In a caption which accompanied the video on TikTok and Instagram, JoJo wrote: 'People had a lot to say about Bette Davis Eyes… so I started writing right away! 'New song coming soon, can you guess what it's gonna be called?🌪️💎💡' In the lyrics, the Dance Moms star raps: 'Eyes like Bette Davis. Hear my voice and you know what my name is. Wise beyond my age. That's what happens when you're little and put on the stage.' She then attracted the ire of music fans by rapping: 'Don't hate me, I'm just a lil baby,' before describing herself as 'Slim Shady.' The Eminem mention hadn't gone unnoticed by fans, many of whom took to the comments to warn her against 'disrespecting' rap icon Slim. 'Gurl, Eminem's gonna haunt you for saying that now!!😭😭😭😭' wrote sanchitha.m2009. 'Please don't disrespect Mr. Slim like that,' said 'There is NO, WAY, you just called yourself Slim Shady,' a shell-shocked noah.a0 commented. 'She did not just say slim shady but a lady…. She DID NOT just compare herself to Eminem😭😭 💀💀💀,' said moonmoss8. JoJo was broadly mocked for her cover of Kim Carnes' song Bette Davis eyes, which was released on July 11 this year. It soon became a source of comedy for the terminally online, with many describing her affected raspy vocals as something of an 'anti-smoking PSA.' 'Can we all take a moment to at least appreciate jojo's bravery for not disabling comments,' joked the user hughlingard below the video on YouTube. Still, JoJo appeared to be at least partially in on the joke, engaging in a game of Two Truths & A Lie ahead of the single's release last week. In a TikTok video, JoJo weighed in on pregnancy rumours by writing: 'Couple of things that need to be addressed, so might as well do it with 2 truths and a lie☺️ which is the lie?' As JoJo swivelled around on a chair, the song played in the background. An accompanying bit of text read: '1. I've never smoked a [cigarette] 2. I'm pregnant 3. This song comes out on Spotify Friday.' As for the pregnancy rumours? These came after fans noticed Celebrity Big Brother co-star and boyfriend Chris Hughes, 32, stroking her belly in a TikTok video. JoJo began dating the former Love Island contestant after they appeared in the CBB house together, to the dismay and confusion of fans and viewers. More Trending The pair only added fuel to the fire when JoJo split with partner Kath Ebbs after leaving the house. Since going public with their relationship, JoJo has opened up about her sexuality, telling MailOnline: 'When I came out at 17, I said: 'I'm pansexual, because I don't care [about gender].' But then I kind of boxed myself in and I said: 'I'm a lesbian.' And I think I did that because of pressure. She continued: 'In a weird way, I think it came a little bit from inside the [LGBTQ] community at times. From people I know, from partners I've had. 'You just get put in this world where you feel like, because you now have said, 'Oh, I'm a lesbian', you have to be a lesbian. And the truth is, sexuality is fluid.' Got a story?

Love Island star reveals 'crazy' link to Liam Gallagher after being dumped from villa
A dumped Love Island favourite has revealed their impressive links to Liam Gallagher and his niece Anais Gallagher after being axed from the villa Former Love Island contestant Tommy Bradley has revealed he once carried out gardening work at the home of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher. Tommy, 22, was dumped from the ITV2 dating series alongside Lucy Quinn nearly three weeks ago. Speaking on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast, the Hertfordshire landscape gardener explained that before joining the show, his work often took him to celebrity properties. 'When I tell people I do gardening, it doesn't sound as good,' he said. 'But we'd go to footballers' houses and celebrities.' It comes after dumped Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke took a brutal swipe at Harry and Shakira after being axed from the island for a second time. Asked who the most famous client was, Tommy replied: 'Liam Gallagher. I'm a massive Oasis fan and there was a point when a company I joined used to do his maintenance like cut his grass, cut back hedges, general tidy‑up.' Tommy said his stint with the company coincided with Gallagher temporarily leaving the property. 'I joined that company when he moved out for building work. His house was being renovated and he moved to the Cotswolds,' he explained. 'I was only there for three months, just for the summer, and when I left, he moved back in. I was actually gutted." Although he did not meet Gallagher during that time, Tommy said he has since had an indirect connection to the famous family. He revealed Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anais, had commented on one of his TikTok posts. 'I was buzzing,' he said. 'I then went on Instagram and saw she follows me, so I followed her back. She sent a video of Noel and Liam on stage and I messaged her like, 'Counting down the days.'' Tommy said the exchange ended there, but he has plans to see Liam Gallagher perform later this year. 'I'm going in September at Wembley,' he said. 'She asked me what show I'm going to and I told her. She liked the message but that's all it's been left at.' The gardener appeared on the summer 2025 series of Love Island and has became known for his romance with fellow contestant Lucy Quinn before the pair were eliminated. Since leaving the villa, he has been discussing his life before reality TV and the unusual celebrity encounters he experienced through his gardening work. It comes after Tommy's love interest Lucy finally addressed her viral voicenote following her exit from the Love Island villa. The makeup artist, 21, faced backlash when a message she had sent to a friend before entering the ITV2 reality show as a Bombshell was leaked. In the 37-second recording, fans heard her plan to couple up with Tommy - who at that point had just finished dating Megan Forte Clarke - as a supposedly guaranteed way to make it to the final, and was grilled by host Maya Jama on the incident during an appearance on Sunday's Aftersun. She explained: "So obviously, like, we probably have all done it, like, sent voice notes to friends and obviously, I really did trust that friend. "So, with the Tommy situation, I was just saying that he's a very nice boy and, like, that's why I wanted to get to know him." Insisting that she did not intend for the message to come across as a game plan to win, she said: "I did say 'Til the end', but it weren't like, the final, obviously, I was meaning, like, I wanted to be with him in the future. Someone with really good morals and stuff like that. The Liverpudlian also used her airtime to insist that Tommy is a boy her father approved of, and profusely apologised to Megan, whom she had labelled a "f***king little slapper" but insisted she is not normally the type of person who would say that. She added: "And, also, before going on the show, my dad did say to me, like, 'He's the kind of boy I'd like you to bring home because he's just very respectful. And then, obviously, talking about Meghan as well, I should never have commented on someone who I've never met before. So I do really apologise about that, I'm actually not that type of girl. " Lucy claimed that the whole scandal has "been blown out of proportion" and that she didn't expect everyone to hear the voice note in the first place. In response, Maya told her: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that" and Lucy confirmed that she is no longer in contact with the person who leaked the voice note.

Love Island's Dejon Noel-Williams' brother blasts Meg in now-deleted TikTok rant
Family week has not gone down well for one Love Island couple as Dejon Noel-Williams' brother took to social media to share his negative thoughts on Meg's sibling As the Love Island final gets closer by the day, Dejon Noel-Williams' brother Isiah has taken aim at his sibling's partner Meg and her family in a TikTok video that has since been deleted. In the clip, which recapped the recent meet the family episode, Isiah didn't hold back, saying: "I'm watching last night's episode and my brother has picked the wrong family. Meg's sister reminds me of Miss Trunchbull from Matilda with the way she moves, the way she talks. It's not it. That family, let's be real, it's not about that." He went on to praise the families of other contestants instead, adding: "But Shakira, Toni and Yas' parents, they're amazing. They're sensational, what a trio. I like Cach's family, they're quite chill like him. You can see he's a good role model for his little brother. I like that family." This comes as Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show. Isiah's remarks caused a stir online, with many fans accusing him of being unnecessarily cruel. One viewer commented, "There are so many valid things he could have said, and he chose to comment on her looks," while another questioned his support, asking, "Are you even voting for your brother at this point?" The backlash didn't stop there. Isiah also shared his controversial takes on some of the other contestants, stating: "Helena, she loves a young man. She needs to give it a rest, she's a gremlin. But Harry, that man, even after all the stuff he's done, he's a top striker." Meanwhile, Dejon's sister Gene also took to TikTok to respond to criticism following the family visit episode. Some fans suggested her on-screen chat with Dejon seemed too relaxed given some of the issues viewers have had with his behaviour at points during the series, but Gene claimed the reality was very different. She told fans: "Believe me or don't believe me I don't care, I'm gonna say my piece. Me and my brother had a conversation for 30 minutes and they showed 30 seconds... I grilled him, mum grilled him... They didn't show a single second. I just think it's crazy what they actually choose to put in the show." With just a few days left to go before the Love Island final, tensions have been escalating between Dejon and Meg after he showed interest in Yasmin by picking her out as a potential partner during a challenge. Meg was clearly hurt, and was discussing the situation with Connor when Dejon walked by, snarking: "You're gonna stop speaking when I walk past?" Their relationship has grown increasingly strained since returnee Blu told the boys that Meg and Helena had been labelled "mean girls" by the public. Many fans believe this has prompted a shift in Dejon's behaviour towards the girl.
