Fruity mocktail made with sweet mango and creamy coconut, adorned by fresh florals
A divine mocktail. I could picture very clearly a glass of deep vibrant yellow mango juice mixed with coconut water and adorned with one of those kitsch cocktail umbrella. This perfume spoke of spring and summer, of warm weather to come, of sun tans and sunscreen, of playful fun and flirty winks. It smelled like sweet fruity mangoes, ripe and juicy, but also of creamy, fruity coconut with a tangy citrus. I was adamant a full bottle was going to be added to my collection.
And then the mango's fleeting scent left the perfume and I was left with a generic creamy floral fragrance. Generic might be a little bit too harsh since it's still a lovely fragrance, but it was no longer what I had smelled at the beginning. Florals are fresh and creamy while benzoin gives of a thick lotion scent. There's warmth yes, but a weird accord started to rise, making me think of those icky synthetic notes. Coconut lingers longer with its creaminess and fruitiness, but it wasn't enough to save the perfume. Overall, it weirdly started to smell like carrots (?!) on my skin.
That's when I realized I had to let go of this one. It could've been great, my 2024 summer fragrance, but the middle and base notes were a let down. I'll have to search somewhere else for that creamy, fruity fragrance as this one is unfortunately not it.
