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."

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.

‘My most-complimented perfume is the perfect floral fragrance for date nights'
Shopping Writer Meghan has been putting a range of perfumes to the test lately as she's on the hunt for the perfect summer scent - and she thinks she might have found it I've been looking for the perfect sweet and alluring perfume to transition to as we approach the summer months, and I might have found just the thing. Though I'm notorious for not having an amazing sense of smell or a vast collection of perfume, I've been trying to branch out from my go-to scents this year. The spring and summer seasons are the perfect time to switch out your staple winter fragrances for something lighter and sweeter that emulates the florals and fruits of the sunnier months - and this gem from Burberry does just that. A perfume I've started reaching for on summer evenings, whether I'm heading out with friends or on a sunset date, is this Burberry Her Intense Eau de Parfum, which is touted as a gourmand fruity fragrance that's balanced with the warmth of ambery wood, creating a sweetness and seductiveness that's earned it a place in my favourite scents collection. The lushly layered Burberry Her Eau de Parfum Intense is set to be a magnetic fragrance that elevates your signature scent to new heights - and boy, does this scent impress. The first night I wore it was for a date night over a sunny weekend, and it wasn't just my boyfriend who was quick to notice the alluring aroma of my new perfume. The woman sat at the table next to us went out of her way to compliment the scent, and was eager to know what fragrance I was wearing. The multi-faceted Burberry perfume is perfect for creating an entrance with a bold and head-turning aroma. Leading with vibrant wild strawberry and radiant notes of orange blossom, this perfume's layered scent goes beyond the delectable gourmand top notes, surrounding a warm and woody amber core, creating a seductive aroma that envelops you as you head out for a night on the town. Encased in a modern lacquered matte-pink bottle that adds an understated dash of luxury to my vanity, this perfume offers an expression of refined femininity from the British brand. Offering an enchanting and elegant fragrance that seamlessly transitions from day to night, the scent retains the addictive charm of the original Burberry scent while leaving a stronger impression that is sure to get you compliments wherever you go. Normally retailing for £75 for 30ml, shoppers can pick up a bottle from Sephora for the reduced price of £63.75, from Boots for £60 and from Notino for £55.93 (using the code SCENT at checkout). Or if you don't mind paying full price, Lookfantastic is selling 30ml for £75. It's not just me who's a converted devotee of this Burberry fragrance, as 5-star reviews pour in. One thrilled customer shares: "I truly love the way of this smells, and d how long lasting it is I get a ton of compliments on it all the time it's got a strong set, but not in an unpleasant way!" Another buyer beams: "So many compliments! 'HER intense' has layers of elegance and maturity but the initial strawberry smells vaguely like a childhood memory that I loved but couldn't place. Then it hit me - Those old strawberry shortcake dolls from the 80s! The amber makes it grown up. I absolutely love it." And a third raves: " Burberry Her Intense is a really standout fragrance. It's bold and deep, perfect for nights out or when you want something a little more wow without being too much. The scent sticks around for hours, so you don't have to worry about it fading quickly."

What an honour to be included in the glittering cavalcade of previous laureates."
