‘I found the perfect strawberries and cream perfume to wear for Wimbledon'
When it comes to Wimbledon, strawberries and cream are as synonymous with the event as all-white outfits and tennis rackets, which is why I was thrilled when I found the perfect fragrance to pair with a courtside look. Juliette Has a Gun's Miami Shake perfume is a relatively new launch from the cult favourite brand, and its combination of strawberries, cream and vanilla make it an absolute essential for Wimbledon season.
As someone who's tried plenty of different perfumes over the years, I've become quite the die hard fan of Juliette Has a Gun's fragrances because of how long lasting and powerful they are. So I was even happier when I got my hands on the Miami Shake perfume, which had the perfect combination of sweet and fruity notes and was an instant go-to for summer.
One spritz of Miami Shake and I knew it was going to be the perfect pairing for Wimbledon events, with a light, sweet scent that lasted without being too sugary or overpowering. It has a musky finish and a creamy element to it which stopped it being too cloying and kept it grown up and sophisticated, whilst still being playful and light.
The exact notes are wild strawberry, whipped cream, vanilla and musk, which keep it simple and not too complex, making it an easy to wear scent that you could always layer with other perfumes if you wanted. You can pick it up in 7.5ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles, and currently Sephora's major beauty sale has slashed 15% off the price of each size.
The 100ml bottle is usually priced at £135 but is now available for £114.75, whilst the 50ml bottle is down from £100 to £85. If you want to try before you commit to a full size bottle, the 7.5ml travel size is now £21.25, down from £25.
You can also pick up the fragrance at Space NK. Also at Space NK you can pick up Phlur's Strawberry Letter perfume at £99 for a 50ml bottle, which is ideal for those who prefer a more fruity, less sweet scent. It opens with top notes of cassis leaves, strawberry gariguette and plum nectar. Heart notes of wild lily, red poppy and apple blossom add a touch of freshness, while tonka beans and amber make the base sensual and bold.
For a more affordable option, Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa '40 Perfume Mist is £24 for 90ml or £38 for a huge 240ml bottle. It combines fruity notes with vanilla and musk for a handbag-friendly scent that's easy to top up on the go.
However the Miami Shake scent has been getting plenty of rave reviews from shoppers, with one saying: 'Mother's Day I tried every perfume in the store literally and I absolutely fell in love with this one and I bought it for all of the mothers in my life and then I had to come back and get one for myself.'
Another wrote: 'Amazing scent! Everyone around is asking what I'm wearing. Love it a lot!'
However the scent seems to be polarising opinions from some shoppers, with one writing: 'I saw an add on Facebook for this and thought 'heck yeah, I love strawberry and vanilla, this will be an amazing scent!!' Purchased it online, and just received it today. I can't describe the scent, but it's not good. The longevity of the scent is why I have it two stars.'
Others couldn't get enough of it, however, saying: 'I fell in love…. I love it . It's sweet but not too much it's feminine, it's powerful.'

Jack Draper called out by own partner in middle of awkward press conference
Jack Draper called out by own partner in middle of awkward press conference Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper were speaking after beating Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper (Image: Sky Sports) Jack Draper was given a light-hearted telling off by his US Open mixed doubles partner Jessica Pegula after an off-the-cuff remark during a press conference. The British No.5 and American world No.4 have reached the semi-finals of the revamped mixed doubles competition, having already knocked out Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz before easing past Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva. With a potential $1million (£741,000) prize cheque on the line, both players insisted they are treating the tournament seriously. But Draper raised eyebrows when asked how much it would mean to lift the title. 'It would mean a lot,' he began. 'Obviously it is like a bit of an exhibition format. It's nice to play with someone… what?," he said as it became clear Pegula had an issue. Article continues below "What did I say?," Draper asked. "Have a bit of fun with it. I don't know. "I like winning. It's good to win, right?' Pegula, sat alongside him, quickly jumped in: 'You shouldn't be saying that, but that's okay. "It's not an exhibition. I know what you're saying.' Draper attempted to explain himself, doubling down: 'It's a bit of an exhibition, a bit of fun… It's a good opportunity to play, do well, get a lot of points in before next week. "I'm enjoying being locked in. I don't know why it's a crime to be locked in.' Article continues below Pegula, laughing off the exchange, added: 'I'm just giving him stick. It has somewhat the feeling of an exhibition. It's not called that.' The newly-formatted mixed doubles has already divided opinion, with shortened sets and fewer opportunities for doubles specialists to compete. But Draper and Pegula have embraced the challenge and will now face Casper Ruud and Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek in the last four.

BBC Antiques Roadshow guest left speechless at huge value of famous football photo
The Antiques Roadshow expert was left stunned by a guest's iconic photograph of Vinnie Jones during a 1988 Wimbledon vs Newcastle United match. A former guest on the Antiques Roadshow joked that he would have booked Vinnie Jones for "ungentlemanly conduct" after unveiling a unique football photograph. The BBC show was filming at Wollaton Hall with Raj Bisram when a member of the public brought a signed black and white photo of the football star when he played for Wimbledon. The image featured Vinnie grabbing the testicles of Newcastle United legend Paul Gascoigne during a 1988 match. "What an iconic photograph you've brought in," exclaimed expert Raj. The guest revealed on the BBC show: "I was the referee at that match. It was on my birthday, funnily enough. "And it was a first division match between Wimbledon and Newcastle United." He then confessed: "I have to admit, I did not see that incident." Bisram asked: "I mean, if you had seen that incident, obviously, you would have booked Vinnie Jones? For what?". The guest laughed and responded: "Well I suppose it would be for ungentlemanly conduct." He continued: "Monty Fresco of the Daily Mirror took that fantastic photograph. When I retired from work, my colleagues, unbeknown to me, got Jones and Gascoigne to sign it for me." In the left-hand corner, Jones simply wrote to the guest "Be good", while Gascoigne humorously wrote: "Thanks to you, I have lost my family allowance." Concluding the valuation, Bisram disclosed: "I guess if you were to put this on the market today, I would be estimating it would be for between £1,000 and £3,000." The guest was left speechless at the sum, as his jaw dropped at the eye-watering amount and he bit on his lip eagerly. Bisram continued: "I mean, it could go anywhere because it's a one-off. This is one of the most famous photographs of football in history. Thanks for bringing it in." Elsewhere recently on the show, an expert was thrilled by a "unique moment" as he disclosed the remarkable value of a family heirloom. BBC valuer Mark Smith was at Portchester Castle earlier this month when he met a couple curious about the significance of a grandfather's esteemed decorations. "This is a unique moment on the Antiques Roadshow," the expert declared. The expert continued: "In all the years I've been on the roadshow, we have never had a Victoria Cross. The highest award for gallantry this country has. Who was this man?". The husband shared: "This was my wife's grandfather. Unfortunately, I wasn't privileged enough to meet him but my wife knew him when she was a young child". The expert disclosed that the medals were estimated at an astonishing £250,000 to £300,000. Both were visibly shocked before dissolving into laughter, with her whispering: "Golly. I didn't think it would be that much", the gentleman admitted, to which Smith replied: "Easily." The visitor joked: "I need a stiff cup of coffee." His wife commented: "I'm a bit like my husband - shocked. I didn't expect that at all." The husband stated his intention to return the medals to the bank for safekeeping in their security deposit box. "I think that's probably wise. That day, he deserved that," Smith concluded.
