Hi! my name is..
Mango Muuuuh!
Opening short and sweet: cowshed oud with brief moments of tangy mango, albeit of synthetic origin. Then transitions into a fully synthetic mango, drugstore quality.
Now you might think: of course, my name is Mango Aoud, what did you expect?
All in all, not such a bad idea. However, the first 30 minutes are really cowshed. If you like that - why not. I'm open to anything in that respect.
Once you get past that, the oud becomes a little darker, woodier, flat. However, only a sweet, synthetic, fruity note remains in the background.
I don't get the floral notes at any time.
I find the implementation of the fragrance composition (in my head - or much more in my nose) just somehow unrounded, pungent. The fragrance seems so clumsy, when it could have been so beautiful: dark, gloomy oud, tangy mango, replaced by florals and vanilla.
And some of the fragrance components really smell so synthetic, really, this mango/fruit cluster kills me. And I am not averse to synthetic fragrances, as long as they are well made and suit the fragrance.
Towards the end, the fragrance becomes bearable, after about 4 hours, when the fragrance notes can only be guessed at.
I don't smell 250€/ bottle here, not by any stretch of the imagination. I really don't think the olfactory quality here is adequate.
And that's also the reason for my poor rating - it's not the fragrance character, Gritti can't help my subjective taste.
Too bad, could have been magical.
But as it is, it's just one thing (for me): Dishwashing candidate. Please don't buy me blind.
