Lean into summer with these tropically inspired recipes
So many Scentsy fragrances are inspired by our favorite food and drink and smell good enough to eat. (Don’t do it!) Our tropical fruity fragrances are especially tempting, maybe because one whiff can whisk you away to an exotic tropical island, where coconuts, pineapples, bananas and mangoes make up the four food groups.
Take our Go, Go, Mango fragrance: juicy mango and melon garnished with hibiscus and sweet banana flower. Sounds good enough to eat, right? Well, wait until you smell it! Inspired by the description and tempted by the smell, we went on the hunt for some refreshing mango recipes. We had one rule. They had to be easy!
Here are the winners:
