Kayali's 'yummy' best selling vanilla scents are £12 each in Sephora set
Two 'yummy' vanilla fragrances are available at a bargain price in this deal Sephora shoppers are snapping up the brand's best selling vanilla scents for £12 each in a mini gift set. The 'yummy' perfumes still feature the iconic Kayali bottle design even in the miniature size, which makes them small enough to fit into any bag. Inside the set are two 5ml bottles of vanilla scents from the brand: the OG Vanilla 28 and the more recent addition Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar. The former blends together rich vanillas, warm brown sugar and velvety tonka while the latter is sweeter with candied pear, bubble gum and even violet. The set doesn't include a spray top, much like Penhaligon's £50 Ladies Fragrance Collection, which some shoppers find annoying. The perfumes are available in a 10ml size that does come with a spray top for £28 each. Charlotte Tilbury also has a giftset of three popular scents from her collection, currently reduced to £33.60, which includes spray tops. The set has pulled in an impressive 83 five-star reviews. One shopper said: "I have been a fan of Kayali since the first time I tried it, so it's no surprise that I loved these scents! The vanilla candy scent is one I haven't tried before but I got so many compliments, 10/10!" Another wrote: "Received this in my stocking for Christmas and let me tell you, it smell's incredible! I love sweet yummy scents and both of these do just that! I also love how adorable the little perfume bottles are, great packaging. Highly recommend these! Will definitely be buying the bigger bottles!" Some shoppers were annoyed that the bottles didn't come with a spray, forcing them to dab the perfume on instead. One wrote: "Loves these two, definitely will be getting a bigger size once these run out. I was a bit confused on how to use them because they don't have a spray part the clear top doesn't come off you have to pull the neck off to use it." Our very own perfume expert Jada Jones has tried both scents and said: " Vanilla 28 is a classic warm vanilla and something of an essential in any gourmand perfume collection. It is worth keeping in mind that the perfume is a dark brown colour which can show up on light clothing items so it's best to apply before getting dressed to avoid transfer.

Ami Colé, the Black-owned Makeup Brand Sold at Sephora, to Close
Ami Colé is set to close in September. The brand, founded by Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye in 2021, will cease operations in September. More from WWD Chris McMillan Launches Namesake Hair Care Line at Sephora, Bringing Decades of Expertise to Styling Products EXCLUSIVE: Billy Porter Launches Black Mona Lisa, a Makeup and Skin Care Brand for Beauty Explorers Elegant Beauty Looks Paraded Down Couture Catwalks The decision comes on the heels of an expansion with Ami Colé's partnership with Sephora in 2024, and it counted L'Oréal's BOLD venture capital arm, True Beauty Ventures, Imaginary Ventures, Greycroft and Debut Capital as investors. 'I'm genuinely curious about the fate of this beauty industry — that is so multifaceted and complex, and more complex than the pace of which we're measuring success,' N'Diaye-Mbaye told WWD of the decision. 'Partners like Sephora are really trying their best, but there needs to be a sit-down of all of the minds, the brands, the retailers and the investors in the community to understand if we are going to all hold hands together or say 'we don't care' together. The misalignment is really painful.' N'Diaye-Mbaye first revealed the decision to shutter the brand in an essay in New York Magazine's The Cut Thursday. N'Diaye-Mbaye spent time in media and working at both L'Oréal and Glossier before creating the brand, which was meant to tap into the no-makeup-makeup aesthetic for melanin-rich skin. 'It was very clear that Black experiences and Black beauty were very much in the peripheral view and not really celebrated in their true glory,' she said at the time of the brand's debut. Ami Colé launched after the murder of George Floyd in 2020 and the ensuing rush of financial and retail support for Black-owned brands. As reported, that landscape has changed considerably, with funding drying up for Black-owned brands and broader DE&I rollbacks under the current presidential administration hindering institutional support. 'I worked really hard as a solo founder, and every single one of my investors can attest that I have turned every rock and stone and pebble to make sure that we were as diligent as possible,' N'Diaye-Mbaye said. 'Are we a business? Yes. Do businesses fail? Yes.' Businesses of all sizes are feeling the heat, with the Estée Lauder Cos., Coty Inc. and most recently, Shiseido Americas reducing their headcounts. 'I came to the table sometimes with a lot of very hard questions that, being a pioneer and the first brand to do a lot of things, especially at this speed, couldn't be answered,' she said. 'I can only say I tried my very, very best; I wish the fate was different. I wish this was a billion-dollar company, and every investor I spoke to in 2019 and 2020 believed it could be. It's sad that that could not come to fruition.'

Save £50 on ‘long lasting' Issey Miyake perfume shoppers say is their ‘desert island' scent
Issey Miyake's 'long-lasting' perfume has been slashed by almost 50% from £110 to £59 with shoppers saying they love it so much they would choose it as their 'desert island' item A great perfume can be one of the most important things in your beauty arsenal, helping you feel instantly confident and put together with a single spray. Some shoppers have even gone as far as to say that they would consider one perfume in particular their 'desert island' luxury. The happy customer said: 'If you put me on a desert island and said I can have two luxuries, perfume would be one. Beautiful smell, absolutely love florals.' The perfume that's gotten such high praise is the Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia fragrance, with its fresh and floral scent being a big hit. Although usually priced at £110 for 100ml, The Perfume Shop has now slashed the price of it to £59.99, saving you £50. This price cut makes the 100ml bottle work out cheaper than the 50ml, which is still priced at £64.99 – the perfect time to get more for your money. There are also some other great perfume deals on at the moment, with Sephora offering up to 40% off its fragrances, including some big name brands like Prada, YSL and Gucci. Elsewhere LookFantastic is running a 50% off sale on selected perfumes for a limited time. You can get 100ml of Calvin Klein Eternity for Women Eau de Parfum for £44.50 down from £89, whilst the Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense Eau de Parfum has been slashed to a much more affordable price. Usually available for £71 for a 30ml bottle, it's now on offer for £35.50. The L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia however has zesty, refreshing notes combined with light florals and subtle earthy tones, making it a lovely fragrance to wear during the summer, although you could just as easily wear it year round. Those who've bought it have also said it's the perfect scent for any occasion, and can be worn both day and night. It has top notes of bergamot and neroli for that zingy, fresh scent, with heart notes of rose and magnolia to bring soft, feminine floral hints. It finishes with sandalwood at the base to give it some depth. Other reviews also praised the L'Eau d'Issey Eau & Magnolia perfume, with one writing: 'Wow. Just wow. I love it even more than expected. Everyone compliments me and asks what I'm wearing!!! Awesome!!' Another agreed: 'Sample, long lasting scent that is not too strong, it's refreshing and light.' Some weren't as much of a fan of the scent as others, with one shopper saying: 'The smell is alright, but I probably won't be getting anymore since it just really doesn't suit me. I do recommend for others try it out for themselves.' Someone else wrote: 'This smelled like your typical floral scent! Nothing special about it. Didn't last too long either. Something I would keep in the car or somewhere for a quick spritz but wouldn't be a top pick or everyday wear perfume.' However others couldn't get enough, writing: 'I really love this perfume, it is perfect for day and night and lasts a long time.'

Sol de Janeiro fans are ‘obsessed' with latest addition to Cheirosa 62 range
The lotion has been praised for smelling 'divine' and being ideal for using in summertime Sol de Janeiro has come out with cult-classic fragrances for years, with many of them being dubbed 'scent of the summer', and its most famous is available now in a lotion. Cheirosa 62 is recognised in the beloved Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - but the scent can now be found in the Body Badalada lotion. Priced at £32 on Sephora, the cream has a hydrating formula that uses hyaluronic acid, vitamin E-rich Brazil nut oil and vitamin K-rich cactus pear extract to keep skin soft. It is a thinner formula than the body butter consistency of Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, but some shoppers prefer this. Palmer's have a Brazilian Coco Cream that's been compared to the cult classic although it doesn't have the exact same scent, it's currently £12.99 at Superdrug. Meanwhile Treaclemoon's Brazilian Love Body Lotion, £4.25 at Tesco, has drawn in many comparisons to the cult classic scent. It's pulled in an impressive 4.9 out of 5 from 933 reviews. One shopper said: "I am obsessed with the original bum bum cream in the pot and regularly buy the refill pods. So when i found out they finally made a lotion format in a pump bottle with the same scent i had to try this. I love the light fluid consistency of this lotion, how easily it spreads, how super fast it absorbs and how it smells divine just like the original. It's perfect for the summer as it's very moisturising but so light and non sticky. I have repurchased another bottle already!" Another insisted it's been something they look forward to everyday, writing: "I was so excited to try the Sol Body Badalada Lotion, and it did not disappoint! It melts into the skin so quickly, leaving behind a silky-smooth finish without any greasiness. The hydration truly lasts all day, my skin feels soft, nourished, and completely pampered. And the scent? Absolutely addictive. That warm blend of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla is sweet, cosy, and lingers just enough to make you want to keep sniffing your skin. It's a daily indulgence I look forward to!" One shopper complained that it isn't moisturising enough and that they have to use it alongside more moisturising creams. They wrote: "It smells divine! However the hydration part is missing. I use this with my other actual hydrating lotions." One shopper insisted it's the best texture for the warmer months. They said: "This lotion is divine! The texture is rich but sinks in quickly, leaving my skin unbelievably soft and glowy. The scent is sweet, tropical, and totally addictive—like summer in a bottle. I've gotten compliments every time I wear it. Great for layering or wearing on its own. Hydration lasts all day without feeling greasy. Sol de Janeiro nailed it again!" Body Badalada Vitamin Infused Body Lotion can be bought for £32 on Sephora's website.
