This is not a fresh mango scent for summer. It's a very sweet, think thick nectar-like mango juice fit for colder weather due to its very apparent sweetness. Probably what I wanted
Fame Eau de Parfum to smell like.
The beginning is very mango forward: I see myself biting down a ripe mango with its juices dripping down my chin. Sweet, juicy, fruity and a bit overwhelming if I'm being honest. Blackberry adds some tartness while black pepper offers a lovely depth and dimension to the scent. As it moves forward, mango is ever so present, but I start getting florals. Creamy jasmine and a slightly powdery and fresh iris. I also start getting some very strong sweetness, probably from the sugar and the vanilla. Vanilla gives sugary warmth to the fragrance while patchouli is very subtle and adds a little bit of woodiness at the edge of the scent.
Overall it's a nice fruity fragrance featuring mango, but I found it a tad too sugary sweet to my nose. It's more of an in-your-face-fragrance than what I'm used to from Vilhelm Parfumerie. i'm also trying to figure out what fruits I wish to wear on my skin and I'm starting to realize mango might not be one of them. I do suggest you try it out for yourself though!
