Tom Ford fans snag summer scent that 'lasts all day' for £40
'This smells absolutely amazing! I purchased without ever smelling it and it doesn't disappoint.'
LookFantastic shoppers are snapping up a £40 bottle of Tom Ford fragrance that 'lasts all day' and the scent is said to be great for summer. Costa Azzurra by Tom Ford has been on the market since 2021 and is described as a unisex aromatic aquatic scent, making it ideal for the warmer months.
It opens up with driftwood, seaweed, oud, ambrette, cardamom and celery seeds before deepening to a brighter heart of cypress, lemon, yellow mandarin, lavender, myrtle and artemisia. It's got a grounded base of incense, vetiver, oak, olibanum, mastic and vanilla.
It might be difficult to imagine what these scents smell like when together, but fans have described it as an elegant summer fragrance that's quite fresh and wouldn't be out of place on the Mediterranean. For those who like the idea of a Mediterranean styled scent but rather a sweet touch then Kayali's Capri in a Bottle (£79) captures that in a sweeter way. Maison Margiela's Beach Walk (£59.45) also offers a beachy feel although it's described as smelling of sunscreen so there coconut note must be noted.
Costa Azzura has an average rating of 4.43 out of 5. One shopper said: "This smells absolutely amazing! I purchased without ever smelling it and it doesn't disappoint."
A second wrote: "Lovely light fragrance, another great perfume from Tom Ford, lasts all day. Speedy delivery, sample sets are excellent too."
A third added: "My favourite summer perfume in the perfect size for holidays. Fresh, salty, evocative. Longevity not quite as great as I would like, but it doesn't prevent me from loving it."
A fourth penned: "Love the fragrance and the size is perfect for a small crossover bag or clutch! Perfect for days/nights out and special occasions."

Five essential things to know before boarding an Explora Journeys ship
If you think cruising means corny entertainment, greasy buffets and lengthy bridge contests, then chances are you haven't experienced Explora Journeys yet. Inspired by the sleek design of private yachts, this new kid on the block wants to inspire those who 'don't do cruises' to give holidays-at-sea a try. This ethos is reflected in the line's choice of terminology, with 'guests' rather than 'passengers', and 'hosts' instead of 'crew'. Explora Journeys, the ultra-luxury arm of the MSC Group, sees its ships more as high-end hotels that just happen to be on water, as evidenced by the Buccellati boutiques, marble bathrooms and Emilio Isgrò artwork on board. The brand has also made a deliberate decision to hire staff from a luxury hospitality background wherever possible, so don't be surprised when intuitive employees (there's an impressive ratio of 1.25:1 guest-to-crew) remember your name or your favourite drink. What's more, Explora Journeys is truly all-inclusive, so you don't have to worry about forking out extra for drinks, food, fitness classes, tips or Wi-Fi. In short, the brand has attained its goal of offering all the trappings of the world's leading luxury hotels – a sophisticated aesthetic, first-class service and superlative restaurants and bars – on the high seas. 1. Where does Explora Journeys cruise? Explora I will sail the Mediterranean until November 2025, when she will then reposition to the Red Sea and Arabian Peninsula for winter 2025-2026. Sister ship, Explora II, will spend summer 2025 in the Mediterranean and winter 2025-2026 in the Eastern Caribbean. Explora III which, as the name suggests, is the third ship in the line's growing fleet, will debut in summer 2026 and offer itineraries throughout northern Europe, Iceland and Greenland before making its way to North America 's east coast. For the winter 2026/27 season, the ship will shift to Miami, where it will embark on a series of Caribbean itineraries. While the line emphasises longer itineraries that visit lesser-known ports, and then stay late/overnight, it has also introduced regular, shorter seven night journeys for those who have limited time. In addition, Explora offers what it terms 'experiences' as opposed to 'excursions'. These include a meeting with an astronaut from Nasa in Florida and a hike along the Tet Paul nature trail in St Lucia to see the island's icons – the Unesco-protected Pitons. 2. Who does Explora Journeys appeal to? New-to-cruise guests who are attracted to the brand for what it is not: blaring night clubs, blingy casinos and petty extra charges. That being said, while the line isn't looking to attract passengers from other cruise lines, it would nonetheless appeal to fans of small ship, luxury cruising offered by the likes of Seabourn, Silversea, and Crystal – as well as those who have stayed in ship-within-a-ship venues on mainstream lines and are looking to try something new. Explora Journeys – as its name alludes – is also a good choice for anyone looking for a little more from their annual leave than merely sitting by a pool all day. Itineraries blend well-known destinations, such as Athens, with lesser-travelled ports, and offer guests the opportunity to feel part of the place they are visiting. Small-group trips are led by local experts who know that the most memorable and magical experiences are often about meeting the community, rather than simply tickling off the blockbuster sights. 3. Explora Journey's fleet Explora Journeys currently has two ships in its fleet with four more – Exploras III, IV V, and VI – slated to follow over the next few years. Explora II (922 passengers) From a distance, the line's newest ship, Explora II, resembles a superyacht (perhaps not a surprise, given that its aquiline profile was crafted by veteran British yacht designer Martin Francis). Step on board, however, and it's like walking into a five-star resort. Expect a glittering white-and-gold, double-height lobby bar with a back-lit drinks wall; the open-air Sky Bar; bespoke artwork by Emilio Isgrò and Yves Dana dotted around the decks; four swimming pools – one with a retractable rooftop; numerous hot tubs; and upmarket shops in the shape of Piaget, Panerai, Cartier and Buccellati. Elsewhere, the cabins are all suites – starting at a spacious 35 square metres for an entry-level Ocean Terrace Suite. This comes equipped with a king size bed, Frette linens, Steiner binoculars, a walk-in dressing area featuring a Dyson hairdryer, marble bathroom with underfloor heating and bespoke Mandala Blue toiletries; plus a separate living area leading to a terrace with a supremely comfortable Manutti daybed. Explora I (922 passengers) The first ship from Explora Journeys is almost identical to its sibling. Four pools are complemented by numerous whirlpools, while extensive workout areas – indoor and out – have Technogym equipment. Spread over 14 decks, you'll find a spacious spa whose inviting thermal areas – including a salt cave, vitality pool and experiential showers – are free to access on port days, as well as extensive workout areas filled with swanky Technogym equipment. The ship has 12 bars and six restaurants: standouts include the pan-Asian Sakura where you can watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen, Marble & Co (a smart steakhouse) and Emporium Marketplace – Explora's upmarket take on the buffet. All dining venues are included in the fare, with the exception of Anthology – three Michelin star Italian chef Mauro Uliassi's first restaurant at sea. Entertainment is low-key with a pianist tinkling at a Steinway in the lobby bar, while West End and Broadway veterans perform songs from everyone's favourite musicals and movies in Journeys Lounge. 4. Loyalty scheme In April 2025, Explora Journeys revealed a new loyalty programme. The Explora Club has five tiers and allows guests to earn points that can then be converted into perks such as priority service and access to exclusive events, or used towards future sailings. 5. Access for guests with disabilities The line has fully-accessible suites and, in certain ports, offers accessible destination experiences. Explora Journeys asks that: 'Any guests in need of special services during their journey, or needing to travel with medical apparatus, including wheelchairs, motorised scooters or oxygen therapy [...] please notify us in writing prior to final payment becoming due.'

The 21 best restaurants in Corfu
Corfu's Venetian rulers dealt a decisive hand in the island's collective recipe book. Be selective about where you sample local fare such as sofrito (veal with garlic and parsley), bianco (fish stew) and pastitsada (beef, veal or cockerel casserole) and seek out lesser-known dishes. Deep in the heart of Corfu Old Town there are low-key mezedopolia (where meze is served), long-established restaurants and upscale eateries where inventive chefs do Corfiot cuisine differently. In spring and early autumn, vivid edible flowers colour the culinary palette at the island's most happening spots. On the coastline, waterfront tavernas specialising in fish and seafood naturally reign supreme. Inland is where you'll find no-frills slow food joints focusing mostly on meat. For further Corfu inspiration, see our guides to the island's best hotels, beaches, nightlife and things to do. Find a restaurant by type: Best all-rounders Best for families Best for cheap eats Best for walk ins Best for fine dining Best all-rounders Klimataria When travel agent Nikos Bellos lived in London and hosted dinner parties, he would call his mother in Corfu, asking her to divulge her island recipes. In 1997 he decided to open an unassuming taverna in a narrow high-ceilinged late 18th-century building in coastal Benitses village. His bet paid off and Klimataria is now considered one of the island's best fish tavernas. Together with Irish wife Deidre and son Kostas, Nikos lovingly prepares local soul food dishes such as bianco, a lemony fish and potato stew particularly suited to scorpion fish. Save the village bread to scoop up the garlic-tinged sauce. Area: South-west Corfu Contact: Reservations: Essential Prices: ££ Best table: Outdoors, to catch a sea breeze Spiros Karidis Apart from lazing on the beach and marvelling at a sublime sunset, there's not much else to do in the sleepy settlement of Boukari. The real reason you need to make the trek there is the Spiros Karidis fish taverna. Work up a serious appetite for Corfu's famed bourdeto, a hearty spicy fish casserole with onions, red peppers and potatoes, usually made with scorpion fish or grouper, and served steaming in its pot. Regulars, who arrive by boat, pair it with Zitsa red table wine. The succulent chargrilled whole calamari, doused in fresh olive oil and lemon, is also excellent. Taverna Elizabeth If you're hankering for Corfiot-style slow food, head northwest to the village of Doukades to dine at much-loved stone-built Taverna Elizabeth. Gather your crew at the verdant, shaded courtyard upstairs that looks out over the village or, if it's cool, head indoors where the decor features vintage ouzo and Metaxa bottles. Elizabeth's granddaughter has taken over the reins at this old-school spot, serving emblematic traditional dishes such as pastitsada, a rich, tomato-based, spice-laced casserole – once reserved for Sunday family lunch - usually made with beef, veal or, if you're lucky, cockerel and served with pasta and grated cheese. Turn up hungry. Area: North-west Corfu Contact: 0030 2663 041728; Opening times: May-Oct, daily, 12pm-11pm; Nov-Apr, daily, 2pm-10pm Reservations: Not necessary Prices: £ Best table: Outdoors, to observe village life Evdemon At Evdemon, the whiteboard menu is in a constant state of flux. Chef Elia Vita allows the seasons, small-scale producers and her organic garden to dictate the half-dozen health-conscious Mediterranean plates she dishes out daily. One day, there might be an oven-baked sea bass fillet in basil oil and aged vinegar. The next, bright local vlita greens twirled into a rose, topped with diced tomato and framed with marinated anchovies. Elia's cuisine is as deliciously unpretentious as it looks. Add her husband Giannis Goudelis' wine expertise, their gracious hospitality and a peaceful seaside location with Diapontian island views and you'll understand why the restaurant has amassed a devoted following. The Old Perithia Tavern-Alkinoos Situated on Palia Perithia's small square, it's incredible to think that this stone-built, family-run taverna has been around since 1863. Fifth-generation owner-operator siblings Alkinoos and Alexia Kassaris prepare island classics like sofrito under the eagle eye of their mother Adamantina. Pull up a wooden chair on the vine-covered terrace, but if it's chilly out, opt for the cosy interiors, whose walls are adorned with monochrome photos. The best seat in the house is an upcycled four-poster iron bed. Azzardo Inland from Corfu's western coast, Kouramades village plays host to this simple yet homely spot, proudly run by a women's cooperative. It's a kafeneion, mezedopolio and taverna all rolled into one and the catalyst for its foundation was to safeguard traditional local recipes, particularly the least known. Try savoro, a Corfiot dish entailing pan-fried small fish in a vinegar and raisin sauce, or cod with tsigarelli (wild greens sauteed with garlic and chilli). Musicians pop in to perform occasionally. Area: Kouramades Contact: 00 30 26610 54158; Prices: £ Reservations: Recommended Fisherman's Cabin Echoing the old school ease of nearby Agios Georgios Pagon beach, this well-hidden, no-frills traditional fish taverna has barely changed since opening in 1971, except for insisting on adding a carpaccio or two to the menu. Chargrilled fish and seafood are what Fisherman's Cabin does best, so go for the local skate, red snapper or grouper, which pair well with pickled sea fennel and cherry tomatoes. This fairly-priced, family-run joint caters to just 30 so be quick to snare one of its sea-facing, mulberry-shaded sky-blue tables soon after the kitchen fires up. But don't expect lightning-fast service. Savour the slow pace, lack of wifi and sunset. Back to index Best for families Marina's Tavern Marina Beska always loved to cook for family and friends, so it was a natural progression for her to open her own taverna. With a broad smile she welcomes patrons to take a seat at one of five tables on the cobblestoned pavement, or within the salmon-tinted building situated on a quiet kantouni (alleyway) in the old Jewish quarter. Not always a stickler for tradition, Marina prepares local fish dish bourdeto with shrimp and sweet potato. Aside from the local specialties, made with a lighter touch, her piquant eggplant casserole is a must-try. Better yet, let Marina do the ordering. Kafesas With Ionian views and draped in all manner of bits and bobs washed up on shore, this rustic, colourful taverna has a cult following. Quirky owner Filimonas Minas says he's cooked fish everywhere from the Caribbean to New York City but prefers to dish it out to diners in his native Corfu. If the catch of the day is bluefin tuna, you've really lucked out. Salad ingredients come from the family garden and olive oil from their grove. Back to index Best for cheap eats Old Buoy Corfu Town's freshest entry is equal parts irresistible brunch hangout, dinner date-worthy destination and hip bar. Minimalist timber tables and seating and oriental rugs grace cobblestoned floors, while staggered casual seating encourages cocktail conversation between strangers. By day, try a vanilla cream-topped fogatsa, Corfu's Venetian-influenced Easter brioche, with your espresso. By night, linger over a Chief Lapu Lapu tiki tipple for two before easing into dishes like beetroot, raspberry and cashew carpaccio and arancini made with shrimp, capocollo and xinomizithra cheese. Expect anything from morning Vinyasa yoga sessions to a live band interpreting hits from the '60s to the '90s. Area: Corfu Old Town Contact: Reservations: Recommended Prices: £-££ Best table: Corner table below hanging vines Koultoura This atmospheric retro spot pays tribute to the Greek cultural icon that is the kafenion. For centuries, these simple, cosy establishments have served as a meeting point for locals to catch up on the day's news over a viscous Greek coffee or savour a straightforward mid-morning meze like fried meatballs and handcut fries. This modern-day kafenion swaps plain white plates for bright monochromes but keeps the working-class cutlery and red and white gingham tablecloths. Koultoura Kafenion updates homespun classics like trahana (cracked wheat) soup by dropping in a poached egg and sourdough croutons. Traditional Corfiot dish veal sofrito appears on an open-face sandwich with Kefalonian gruyere and Greek-style coleslaw. Back to index Best for walk ins Silo Three young Corfiots are behind this hip all-day bistro in Corfu's old town, close to the entrance to a Venetian granary. Sourcing all-Greek culinary goodies from Corfu-based online deli Nomee, the menu stretches from brunch through dinner, while there's proper espresso, a good range of wines and cocktails. Start your day with smoked eggplant, turkey, tomato and manouri cheese atop sourdough. For summery flavour, try a salad with cherry tomatoes, strawberries, whipped feta, rose-scented harissa and basil. Saluteria Combining Italian finesse with Corfiot cool, this wine and deli restaurant draws a youthful crowd. Most gather to share tapas-style dishes and hearty charcuterie boards groaning with Greek, Italian and Spanish cold cuts and cheeses, served with freshly-baked foccacia. Also on the menu are creative takes on Italian favourites like arancini, filled with feta cream and spearmint. Take your pick from a good range of Greek wines, or rouse your palate with an aperitif at Saluteria's spritzeria across the street. Liston Gastrotheque Housed in an imposing late 19th-century building within the French-designed Liston arcade across from the Old Fortress, this all-day cafe restaurant drips with elegance. In cooler months, take a seat indoors, amid honey-beige interiors and framed pictures of ornate door knockers. Otherwise, soak up the rue de Rivoli -style vibes beneath the arcade's characteristic arches. Favoured among locals for its extensive brunch menu, Liston Gastrotheque serves a Corfiot breakfast showcasing a selection of the island's star products including salado, a peppery salami, and sykomaida (fig pie). Sweet tooths may opt for pancakes with a creamy cheesecake and sour cherry preserve topping and homemade almond biscuits. Back to index Best for fine dining Pomo d'Oro Aristotelis Megoulas isn't a formally trained chef but was drawn to the profession while studying in Bologna, where he snuck into restaurant kitchens. He now cultivates his Corfiot roots at cosy Pomo d'Oro, a testament to his dedication and imagination tucked into historic Skaramanga square. Collaborating closely with small-scale producers, Aristotelis redoes rice-stuffed tomatoes, a classic Greek dish that's even more delicious the following day, as a cold risotto with summer vegetables, marinated raisins, sunflower seeds, sheep yoghurt condiment and herbs. Toula's Seaside A series of hairpin bends leads down to picture-perfect Agni Bay, where firs and cypresses cloak the surrounding hills and still waters beckon yachts to stay awhile. Toula's has been there since 1982. Back then, it was a simple seafront taverna frequented by locals who arrived by boat and often overnighted on the beach. Today, Valentino and Armani sail in for contemporary fare by warm-hearted, wild herb-loving Toula who still holds the fort. It remains one of Corfu's most atmospheric coastal dining locations. Start your evening with a Metaxa-laced Aegean Highball. Make sure you Toula's legendary linguine with spicy prawns or crayfish moussaka and her aromatic Sweet Secret, which remains just that. The White House Even if you don't choose to stay at The White House, the former home of the Durrells available for rent, it's well worth dropping in to the stylish yet laidback seaside dining spot adjacent to the villa. The breezy stone-built al fresco restaurant boasts 180-degree views of Kalami Bay. Lefteris Lazarou, chef-owner of Greece's first restaurant to gain a Michelin star, designs inspired menus featuring refined Mediterranean cuisine. Expect dishes like grilled octopus carpaccio with smoked split pea puree, red peppers and pickled cucumber and crayfish risotto with asparagus and crayfish oil. RR – Rodostamo Restaurant RR sits poolside at the luxury adult-friendly Rodostamo Hotel & Spa, looking out onto calm Kommeno Bay and Gouvia marina's twinkling lights. Dress up for an intimate night out as this sophisticated restaurant, which delivers true five-star dining a short drive from Corfu Town. Soft lighting enhances the electric blue, white and grey furnishings and marine-themed driftwood sculptures. While the menu may sound understated, it is, actually, exquisitely good. Highlights include glazed octopus with honey, garlic, potato rösti, wild greens and octopus emulsion and slow-grilled lamb with topinambur puree, grilled carrots, lamb jus and rosemary. Leave room for yogurt mousse with white chocolate, strawberry sauce and seasonal fruit ratatouille. Etrusco Italian-Greek chef Ettore Botrini, whose Athens restaurant bears a Michelin star, doesn't stand still for long. Perfectionist by nature, he insists on constant evolution at Etrusco, which he inherited from his Tuscan father. The restaurant has laid the foundation for haute Greek cuisine. Etrusco's creative Mediterranean style is not only an epicurean tribute to the island's culinary traditions but references memories of places Ettore has lived, including Spain, where he worked alongside the renowned Martin Berasategui. Seating is on the patio of a peach-hued villa whose garden generously provides vegetables, fruit and flowers. Degustation and à la carte menus deliver a holistic experience underscoring family ties to Corfu and Italy, featuring dishes such as Elba-inspired swordfish carpaccio with Corfu bitter orange salad. The Venetian Well This romantic bistro-restaurant in the dream-like setting of Kremasti Square is named after the marble Venetian well around which its outdoor tables and wrought iron chairs are arranged. Magenta bougainvillea spills down its tangerine rendered exterior. Indoors, jewel-coloured velvet-backed chairs and chandeliers add a regal air to a pea green backdrop. Chef-owner Yiannis Vlachos creates imaginative Mediterranean fare such as slow-baked lamb with smoked eggplant cream and fig chutney and Sardinian fregola pasta with wild mushrooms and summer truffle. Pay a visit to the 700-label strong cellar, which stocks first-rate Greek selections and rare French and Italian wines. Area: Corfu Old Town Contact: Reservations: Essential Prices: £££ Best table: Anywhere outdoors Monastre A stylish, new arrival in Paleokastritsa, Monastre is situated atop a rocky bluff, its design echoing that of a neighbouring 13th-century hilltop monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Well-regarded chef Michalis Ntounetas, who has translated Alain Ducasse into Greek, helms this smart restaurant. Sourcing ingredients, including crayfish and nouboulo, Corfu's own prosciutto, from hyperlocal suppliers, he conceives Mediterranean dishes with subtle island flavours. Shrimp ceviche with mango, lime, kumquat and sea bass fillet with fennel and finocchio risotto count among his signature recipes. As the sun starts to set over the Ionian, couples quietly schmooze on the terrace to the tune of a live saxophone player.

Dr Michael Mosley's widow reveals final moments before he died in first interview
Dr Michael Mosley 's widow has revealed the final moments before his death. The TV doctor and nutritionist, 67, was found dead on the Greek island of Symi after a four-day rescue operation last summer. In her first interview since her husband's death, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley has now recounted the events of the tragic holiday from which the 67-year-old never returned. The couple arrived in Symi for the week-long trip with friends on 4 June 2024. She told MailOnline: 'We'd only been there for half a day before it happened.' She said they were relaxing on the beach and enjoying the occasional dip in the sea and a coffee. 'Typically, Michael got bored,' she added. 'He wasn't enjoying his book and he doesn't really like lying on beaches, so he said: 'I'm going exploring. I'm off for a walk.' He agreed to meet us back at our friends' villa. 'I gave him my litre bottle of water and in his rather eccentric way, he had an umbrella to shield him from the sun. It was 1.30pm and he was given instructions on where to walk. 'He set off at a good pace, his rucksack on his back, up a steep hill. He hadn't brought his phone because he didn't want to risk it getting wet on the boat.' Dr Bailey Mosley went back to the villa with their friends after enjoying an afternoon at the beach, but started to get concerned where her husband had gone. She told the publication: 'Feeling things weren't right, we went to the police station and reported him missing. The police said: 'We can't do anything about it until he's been gone for 48 hours.' I said: 'What, in this heat?' It was 40 degrees, the hottest day for decades.' After she pushed them hard they agreed to send out a local search and rescue team. Dr Bailey Mosley then got in touch with the British consulate in Athens and also put an appeal out on the Symi social media page. She said: 'And it suddenly went 'whoosh' and local people turned out in force to search.' She said she also went out to look for her husband herself, adding: 'I spent a couple of hours walking along the coast and through trees and gorse calling his name. Every time I met someone, I asked: 'Have you seen him?' 'Then it got dark. It became devastatingly obvious something had gone terribly wrong.' Dr Bailey Mosley said she spent the first night curled up in bed crying. Then she was up before dawn and searching for her husband again. They feared he'd collapsed and fallen over something, and kept looking. But they found nothing. The Mosley children arrived that evening and later joined the search. Dr Bailey Mosley said: 'Extra plates were laid at the table – our friends were just so calm and supportive. They held us all together. 'There was this extraordinarily close, intimate sharing of agony, of tears and laughter – because they are closely aligned – and it was as if we were in a capsule, surrounded by a kind of magical cordon that gave us a sense of safety in impossible circumstances.' Outlandish stories about what might have happened to her husband began circulating at that time, such as a suggestion he had been abducted, and a similar-looking man spotted on CCTV. She said: 'I was naively optimistic. I think I was in denial. I remember sitting on the balcony watching the helicopters go round and round and still thinking: 'One of them will find him.'' Then, four days after Dr Mosley had gone missing, his body was found. The island's mayor and a British TV crew were out in a boat on 9 June when they spotted him just a few hundred metres from the beach bar at Agia Marina. Later, it emerged that Dr Mosley had missed his turn-off and fallen down the rocky mountain path, dying just two hours after leaving his wife at St Nicholas beach. Dr Mosley was known for popularising the 5:2 diet, a form of intermittent fasting, through his book The Fast Diet, as well as his documentaries on the BBC. His family has since set up a health research project to honour his memory. A new clinical research fellowship will be established in partnership with King's College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF) to help improve the nation's metabolic health. Dr Bailey Mosley said: 'Michael was most proud of the work that he did in helping people to improve their metabolic health. 'It is increasingly clear that improving metabolic health decreases your risk of multiple chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, reducing blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and more. 'The Mosley family are thrilled that this fellowship will continue in his name to improve so many people's lives.'
