Tropical Black!
Very underrated gem, tropical scent and it's safe scent and it's compliment gainer, one of the best unique summer scents, a must have in your collection ;)

Mango/ Sandalwood/ Sage and a slight hint of Tonka Beans, will leave you refreshed and feeling like you're on a beach, I love this one and it has decent longevity also it is not generic scent in my opinion, such a sexy scent will get you compliments.

One of the best Tropical Fruity Perfumes ever Created
It is a Great fragrance, Modern, Fruity and Unique. It has a nice opening that smells so good and very pleasant. It opens up with like fresh fruity, citrusy, green and spicy notes in the background then dry down is semi sweet woody. One of the best men's perfumes with Mango and Tangerine notes. The Mango note is dominant in this perfume. If you like a perfume with Mango , you will like this one. This is a linear fragrance, perfect for the spring and fall. I really enjoy it and I'm so happy that I have it in my collection. Longevity is average.
Thumbs Up.

Black??
Somenone that i admire gave it to me today. I didn´t know how it smells. I think that it is a different fragrance. Does not nothing to do with the name "Black". The notes are pure "White"...because i think this has fresh and summery notes. Tomorrow i will use it all day and i will see what this fragrance is made off. But i am not expecting too much, honestly.

Nice for spring/summer
I got it as a gift. Scent is amazing it's both fresh and woody. It gives me more white vibe then black. Longevity is like 3/4 hours nothing special. Scent is what I like the most since it's so fresh. I like to wear this on summer for a change.Projection is bad for it's price.I would not recomend buying it but you could buy it if it's on discount.

Old People scent
Maybe I’m just not the target audience being 16 but this just doesn’t smell very good, it’s strong longevity is pretty good but it just has this depressing atmosphere idk it kind of feels like something you’d spray on before a funeral, it gives me cold and lonely vibes,but hey if that’s what you’re going for give it a shot

There is a mango note in the opening which gives a tropical vibe - good
But the dry down is a bit too average - bad
an incomplete perfume.

This always reminded me of black liquorice with that synthetic mango, but the chicks dig it so I don't complain. Personally I prefer the OG.

The beautiful opening mango note lasts 10 seconds or so. Sadly it all goes terribly downhill after that. A weak mess.

Well-blended chilled mango + smooth patchouli & sage. Takes me back to boyfriends who had it in the first few years of release. Nostalgic!

I get an aromatic freshness with faint mango peel note. Strangely enough, I don't smell the mango note only after it starts to dry-down.

A fairly balanced cold fougère by 2000's standards. A light cologne essentially. I consider this the fruity flanker of Polo Sport.
