Fame that is long since gone

Well I'm particularly displeased about this perfume. I was expecting a better, more well-blended fragrance made of mango and woods and instead I'm met with this generic perfume. I can't believe 4 perfumers were on this brief and all they came up with was this. I'm happy I got a sampler, because it won't be making it past this stage.

All in all, it's a pretty inoffensive fruity mango perfume. Mango stays for the first hour, sweet, sugary, juicy, but marred by a weird almost sour powdery (because of the jasmine?) note. I'm not sure if it's my skin or how the notes were blended, but it's just weird. It ends up becoming this non-descript fruity and woody perfume that fades quite rapidly into nothing. If you happen to come upon this perfume, I suggest you layer it with other mango scented body products like Isle of Paradise (yellow line of products) to amp up the mango part of the scent or tropical scented body products like Ouai St-Barts to amp up the summery beach vibe. On its own it does pretty poorly, which is sad considering the fact it's a designer fragrance.

Bottle doesn't bother me contrarily to other people, although I would like to know why they decided to choose a robot for a mango scent. It's a bit odd.

I share your opinion about this perfume. I think there has been too much hype for a fruity aroma, leaning towards the tropical side.
It doesn't smell bad, but I think it's pretty average.
