Mango Thai Lime

A Shot of Thai Lime over Mango

Jo Loves... 2012 Eau de Toilette

This is fresh, fruity, and juicy summer scent that I enjoy wearing on hot days. It's a plate of freshly cut mangoes and limes, with sprigs of mint and thyme on the side. Perfectly sweet but not cloying and refreshing on a hot day. The green elements become more prominent with time, and the mango fades.

Realistic mango scents must be difficult because they are so hard to find. Historically one of my personal favourites was the old, original, Body Shop Mango - they no longer make it, and haven't for some time, and I'm always trying to recapture that ripe mango scent.

Not too ripe, and not too green - just exactly how you want a mango to be before you eat it. This is a very good entry into that field and it does a really lovely job. Mango is the star here, and it's a bit of fruit, a bit of skin, the pine-like resin and the sweetness. Along with a very complimentary lime and pepper that only enhance the primary mango.
