Sephora fans swoon over juicy mango perfume that's better than Jo Malone's take
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!" Fugazzi fans swoon over juicy mango scent that's better than Jo Malone's take (Image: GETTY ) 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.

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." Magic Mango Eau de Parfum 50ml £80.00 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." Article continues below 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.

Sol de Janeiro's 'best fragrance yet' is out in time for summer
'I love this!! This is the smell of summer, it's so floral and fruity. I recommend this for anyone who loves beach days!' Sol de Janeiro is known for sweet scents that get heads turning, with Cheirosa '62 having proudly been the scent of the summer year after year, but they've got a new limited edition release that might be the brand's best fragrance yet. Água Mística is part of the latest release from the brand made up of three scents. All three share Mistica in the name but it's one that's standing out to us above all. Água Mística opens up with a refreshing trio of tangerine, neroli and pineapple before deepening to a heart of jasmine and peony. It's got a base reminiscent of the beach with salt, skin and white cedar extract which gives an overall juicy and moreish mist. Our perfume expert Jada Jones tried it and said: "There are a few brands that come with a level of hype that can be hard to live up to and this is definitely one of them but Água Mística deserves more. I wasn't expecting this to be my favourite of the trio but as soon as I smelled it, it was clear this is Sol de Janeiro's best fragrance yet. Don't get put off by the salt note, it smells like sunny days at the beach with the sand in your toes while you snack on fruit with loved ones. I hope this one stays past the limited edition release." Over on Sephora the mist has pulled in an average rating of 4.59 out of 5 from over 225 reviews. One shopper said: "I love this perfume it smells like an orange peel in the best way possible! It is super long lasting and overall a very summery scent. According to my friend she says it smells just like a beach house and I agree 100%." A second penned: "I love this scent so much. I'm sad it is a limited edition. It's my favourite one I've had and perfect for warmer weather. It reminds me of Tommy Girl." A third wrote: "This is hands down the BEST Sol de Janeiro scent I have ever tried and easily in my top 3 favorite SDJ scents of all time. When I first sprayed this, I was actually blown away. I find most of the SDJ scents to be a little too sweet, too gourmand, or overly floral for my taste. This is truly so unique and in a league of its own. It's not too fresh, too powdery, or too fruity. It's a beautiful, sexy, refreshing, and summery scent. Already planning on stocking up. It's a real shame this is only a limited edition because I would buy this all year long!" A fourth added: "I love this! This is the smell of summer, it's so floral and fruity. I recommend this for anyone who loves beach days! If you're thinking about buying it hurry up before it's gone!" Not everyone is so happy though, one shopper penned: "Sol De Janeiro Água Mística is a hair and body perfume mist featuring notes of neroli water, tangerine, and salty skin. The scent is clean and subtle, but it doesn't last long. Overall, it's a pleasant mist, though it lacks uniqueness." It's worth noting that perfume mists typically have shorter longevity than classic eau de parfums. For those who want a citrusy and fresh scent for summer with a slightly longer longevity perhaps The 7 Virtues Clementine Dream would be a good option, it's currently £85 for a 50ml bottle on SpaceNK.

New Prime members can also bag this deal in their 30-day free trial, meaning you won't need to splash any extra cash to get the price reduction. The Ultenic Vacuum is suitable for all floor-types and includes a 'tangle-free" brush as well three suction modes. The Ultenic Vacuum also comes with a powerful battery life of 60 minutes on low mode or 20 minutes on high mode. The battery life can be easily monitored through the hoover's LED display, which can also be used to adjust which mode you are using. This cordless vacuum is perfect for getting to all those hard to reach places as it features a bendable tube and a brush that can switch between vertical and 180 degree horizontal positions. You also will be able to pick up more dirt with the Ultenic vacuum as it comes with an LED light and can extend up to 1.2m. The Mirror reports that their Content Commercialisation Editor Jada Jones previously tried out this Ultenic Vacuum and said it was great for "whisking up dust in hard-to-reach places". She was also impressed by how easy it was to convert the vacuum for a full-sized machine to a handheld device. From over 2,600 global ratings on Amazon, the Ultenic Vacuum has earned itself a 4.6 star rating, with 90 per cent of reviews awarding the cleaning appliance either four or five stars. One impressed shopper wrote: "It's incredibly powerful and picks up even the tiniest dust and debris with ease. It works excellently, equally well on my carpet or on my laminate. The Flexible wand makes cleaning under furniture so easy. This vacuum has made my cleaning routine so much more efficient. It's great value for money and I couldn't rate it highly enough." Another added: "I had a Shark cordless for some years, but couldn't justify the cost of a new one. The Ultenic U16 had all the features of my old vacuum, and charging the battery didn't take long at all. "I have an indoor cat, so cat litter makes a daily appearance – no problem for this vacuum, on the eco setting, again on hard floors, the eco setting is enough. It picks up well on carpets on the normal setting and very good on the turbo setting. The flexible handle is great for under furniture. All in all, a very good vacuum if not better than my Shark." A third customer praised: "The U16 Flex vacuum cleaner is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a versatile and efficient cleaning solution. Its lightweight design and flexible construction make it easy to maneuver, even in hard-to-reach areas. "The suction power is impressive, effectively handling dust, dirt, and pet hair on various surfaces, including carpets and hardwood floors." While a fourth five-star reviewer also said: "Great value, efficient stick vacuum. I've had numerous big-brand vacuums, and this is far superior. The run time is excellent with three levels of suction power, it's perfect for all floor types. It's not too heavy and is easy to manoeuvre. "The green light shows you dust you didn't know you had. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering a cheaper alternative to big brands." However, this customer did note a slight problem, adding: "The only downside is it's not easy to empty as fluff gets stuck and the tool provided is useless. I found a fork does the trick perfectly. Also, more tools like a smaller head included in the package would be a bonus, although they are available separately."
