Chestnut, cream and juicy mango all in one
I love mango, but unfortunately, mango notes often tend to turn too sour on my skin. This is different. It has a lot in common with the original This is Her, so the mango lies on a base of vanilla, roasted chestnut and creamy notes. But due to the fresh fruitiness it feels less sticky than TIH. It's the perfect balance of both worlds!
It's also interesting how it blends a very summery, tropical fruit with notes that are usually more common in autumn and winter scents. The roasted chestnut is really prominent, it even reminds me a little bit of By the Fireplace, and I never smelled a perfume that combined such a warm, smokey gourmand note with mango or similar fruits. This scent certainly doesn't fit into any seasonal clichés.
I read some German reviews that said this smells like a mango yogurt or ice cream, but I don't really agree, as the chestnut is very prominent to me. It's still a beautifully creamy scent though.
You might not need this when you already have the original, except if you really love mango or if it's your signature and you want a more summer-appropriate version. If you found something missing in the original, this lovely fruity edition might be right up your alley. Only the bottle could be better.
