Manila Grace Eau Fraîche Manila Grace 2016

I became aware of Manila Grace Eau Fraîche because of the pretty bottle. And if the bottle is such a feast for the eyes, then the content can't be too bad either...

First of all, thanks to @Orangensorbe for allowing me to test the fragrance.

The mango is immediately noticeable upon spraying, but I can also detect a citrus note. After about 15-20 minutes, the scent becomes softer, with vanilla pushing its way alongside the mango. From this moment on, Manila Grace Eau Fraîche feels to me like a Solero ice cream (exotic flavor); it's one of my favorites when it comes to ice pops and symbolizes summer, sun + swimming pool for me.

The fragrance lingers for several hours as a mix of mango and vanilla, and just before I can no longer perceive it on my skin, it becomes very slightly woody.

For an Eau de Toilette, Manila Grace Eau Fraîche surprisingly lasts quite long; I can smell it on my skin for more than 8 hours. The scent trail is also really well done; my best friend could smell the perfume from a good arm's length away from me.

I am positively surprised and considering adding Manila Grace Eau Fraîche to my collection. With this fragrance, I am really looking forward to the warm season!
