Mass appeal of a designer fragrance, but the quality of niche
That is how I could describe this best, it has pure mass appeal qualities, but scent is so high quality, there is nothing that gives off any sort of synthetic vibe. Also, one of the most versatile fragrances I've ever come across. It would work for any gender, any age, any setting, any time of year.

Perfect for summer.

Initial spray is a blast of a perfectly executed mango, with a little spice. The spice in this doesn't really give me ginger (even though it is supposed to be) but it feels a little more middle eastern / incense in the least overpowering way possible, it just sits in the background. Imagine Tauer's LDDM was sprayed in another room and you get the faintest whiffs of it, it's like that sitting under mango and lemon. It's so well blended that you don't really pick these out individually, they all blend together perfectly.

The mango fades fairly quickly and turns into lemon, like within 5 mins the mango is mostly gone, but will fade in and out over time. After the open you're left with lemon and spice and occasionally you get slight whiffs of a sweetness that was the mango, but it's not always present.

This is a silage monster, you'll leave a cloud of this wherever you walk. And you'll notice it on yourself walking around. It's not going to envelope you with a heavy cloud you'll smell on yourself all day like an MFK Oud Extrait, but you'll get wafts of this for a few hours (4-5), it's lighter.

I don't get the performance everyone else claims, on my skin it's loud for 3 hours, then I get a little bit here and there 4-5 hours into it. Anything after 5-6 hours it's completely gone.

Very unique scent, never come across anything quite like this.

The presentation is almost great, the box the bottle comes in is great. My only problems are that the gold plate on the front, the snake portion is extremely thin plastic that feels like it will fall off, and then the cap...the melted paint is just plastic. I wish this was more of a resin, it feels like If I am not careful taking the cap off, I might chip a piece off.

God of Fire: A creamy-fresh mango dream I Including comparison to Erba Pura
Many people compare the God of Fire with the Erba Pura and that's why I avoided the fragrance; well, at some point you come across a sample and my first thought: "Where do they smell Erba Pura?" The scents are worlds apart and let me explain that to you.

Before we make the comparison, however, I will first describe the God of Fire :

- The fragrance is a real pick-me-up; as soon as you spray it on for the first time, you are met with an extremely great (even if slightly synthetic) mango note paired with a great citrus. The opening is really mega revitalizing and the mango is top and above all fresh; there are many mango fragrances (e.g. Cruz del Sur II ), but in most of them the mango then goes in a rather warm direction very early on in the fragrance; here it is "cold and refreshing".

- The fragrance is then complemented by woody-creamy accords, which are probably produced by coumarin in the heart note - before it then goes into an ambery, creamy drydown. I think that one of the reasons why the fragrance performs so well is because amber and oud are used in the drydown. The oud is practically imperceptible, but gives the fragrance a noble, creamy character in the drydown with the musk-amber mixture.

- As indicated, the H/S is very good for a rather fresh fragrance; well, it's not a citrus bomb in that sense, but rather a fruity-creamy fragrance with a citrusy opening, but the performance is still very good for such a fragrance.

But now for the exciting part: how does God of Fire compare with Erba Pura :

1) The fragrances are both fruity yes, but that's it. Erba Pura contains a mixture of fruits, unlike God of Fire where one particular fruit stands out like the mango here.

2) The Erba Pura has few citric aspects in the opening, whereas in the God of Fire, ginger/lemon are clearly noticeable alongside the mango

3) In the drydown, Erba Pura becomes extremely musky; really bright, almost synthetically pungent musk in my opinion, which simply produces a headache. In God of Fire, the fruity mango develops into a woody-ambery musk base, which is carried by very light oud, far more creamy!

4) The performance of Erba Pura is of course beastly, the God of Fire is also in the upper segment in terms of performance, but is of course overshadowed by Erba Pura

I personally really like God of Fire and am more than satisfied with the overall package of fragrance DNA and performance and would always prefer it to Erba Pura. A really great and pleasing spring and summer fragrance (not in the heat perhaps)!

... and finally: if one had to draw a comparison to a Xerjoff, then rather to Cruz del Sur II ; but here, too, the differences are enormous or to Erba Gold , which is creamier than Erba Pura , but also does not have the mango note in focus. In this respect, it complements the Erba Pura fragrances :)

Have fun!

Mango ginger lemon total 175€
I discovered this perfume at Printemps Boulevard Haussmann in Paris.

the bottle is truly magnificent and fascinating. a friend recommended it to me.

in the end it's a real disappointment, certainly there is work, it differs from a lot of smell but it just smells of lemon and ginger then mango. not at all up to the bottle.

another flop at shl

Best summer fragrance
Perfect summer fragrance. It smells very tropical and exotic, you can smell a lot of fruity notes and especially the mango stands out. The durability and sillage of this fragrance are above average. The bottle is simply a masterpiece, a 10/10. I applied this fragrance at 13:00 and was still smelling it at 20:00. It also goes down very well with others and is a compliment to others

Mango baby
Just recently picked this up after seeing some hype about it and people saying it is the Erba Pura killer. And well I have to say I agree. I have never been a fan of Erba Pura and never understood the hype behind it, to me it smells super syntethic and just too much.
God of Fire on the other hand is just the perfect Balance between the tropical fruits and freshness, it does not smell syntethic at all and you can really smell the well made ingredients here. This will be my go-to this summer along with Pacific Chill. Very unisex fragrance that might be feminine leaning, but this on a guy during the summer will be a MAGNET.

Brilliant sugared mango opening, musks slowly ramp up over time to outpower the fruity tones and give it a slight designer vibe. Unisex.

Firstly I think it’s like Ishq, but it’s a very comfortable ginger with mango an pepper. After a while Jasmin and woods make it good.

Zesty citric, spicy opening with a tropical fruity sweetness and ginger. The drydown is musky, woody, warm spicy and cotton candy-like.

Fruity, fresh mango absolutely perfect for summer. Unisex (feminine leaning) but a guy wearing this on a hot summer day will get the ladies.
