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.
