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.
