Carnivale

50/50 on mango start but, BUT it settles so beautifully in the skin wtf! I love it after the initial has passed. Unique and well blended. It’s the closest sitting of the Brown Girl Jane fragrances I have and that’s a lot considering I don’t own only like 3 perhaps... I double tapped and sprayed wrist and inner elbow; when I hold my arm out after about an hour, I don’t get much. When my arms rest at about lap length, I consistently get whiffs. I will say I notice BGJ carry and last when I use a light body oil, so I’m gonna aim for that next shower and see what my lasting power is. LOVE THE SCENT BUT CAN ONLY JUSTIFY A TRAVEL WITH THIS LONGEVITY (3h max)

I absolutely love this fragrance ! Its so yum on my skin chemistry. Its a fruity gourmand airy feminine scent that has a tropical warmer twist to it. Yes its soft but it lingers. If your into heavy unisex fragrances or deep heavy fill up a room scents wanting 100 ppl to smell you loudly , this isnt for you. This is the spring , summery vibe for a ultra femme woman who stays in the crowd but her soft sexy appeal is known. I see Kim Porter with this fragrance if she was still with us. Rip Kim Porter. Definitely a keeper !

At first spray this was a love for me! It’s a bright mango with a warm musk. I was so excited to bring this on vacay. Sadly it was a tad cloying in the heat with the pepper in the base turning really spicy. I have nothing like this in my collection. The only fragrance that comes to mind is Mod Vanilla by Arianna Grande. They are not dupes but they do share a similar warm sweet musky vibe. This one is just fruity.

I love this for summer, it's like a tropical vacation in a bottle. The scent is pretty unique and not like anything else I have. As others have said, my only issue is that it does not last very long so I have to keep reapplying it. It pairs great with Saltair Exotic Pulp lotion/body oil which also helps it last a little longer.

Wearing today, just came in the mail. Cannot wait to smell this after it macerates! Immediate Fruity, Floral, Bright! Mango and Whipped Cream, but in a different way. It is still somehow familiar, but I cannot put my finger on why. This makes me smile. BGJ, thank you for another great one!

what's not to like? super juicy and fresh and tropical. the mango note in here is so beautiful and smooth, which has not always been the case with mango notes for me, so that was a really pleasant surprise. overall at this price point you can't really lose with this one

Blind bought during Sephora sale... oh. My. Gosh. Very well blended I mean this is EVERYTHING I wanted Fame by PR to be. Synthetic mess that I can’t wear every day bleh anyways... this so fluffy, creamy, and sweet. About to have me in a chokehold for the spring!!

I absolutely LOVE Casablanca and Dare. I took a chance and blind bought Carnivale from Brown Girl Jane’s website, as they were offering a free 30 ml Casablanca with a minimum purchase. I have ZERO regrets. This is soft, sweet and a tad spicy in the best way.

I love BGJ Carnivale perfume. The fragrance reminds me of vacationing in the Caribbean. Thank you to a Fragrance Foundation email, for letting me know about this amazing perfume. 😍

I absolutely love this perfume. It's fruity and creamy and delicious. I've been wearing it everyday. My only complaint is the sillage and lasting power is pretty nonexistent.

Delicious sugary tropical mango cream saver. Nothing complex, just simple tropical goodness. This was the scent I chose to buy full size from sampling the discovery set.

This smells sweet & delicious in a non-offensive way. For anyone open to a fruity scent, I think this is blind buy safe. I do wish it projected and lasted more :(

Mango centered fun, fruity scent reminiscent of most tropical vacations.

I like this, but it does not last for more than 10 minutes on me!!!

If you love mango scents, this is definitely worth getting your nose on. The mango is juicy, yet the overall scent is very creamy, whipped and the longer it sits, the muskier it becomes. I’ve never smelled a pimento note but there is definitely a little zing in the dry down. It’s feminine, cute and yummy. It’s a gourmand, but a non gourmand lover (like myself) could still enjoy this. BGJ released this at the perfect time because this is great for spring and summer....especially for a vacation. If you are expecting a complex, mind blowing, loud projecting fragrance that fills up a room and lasts all day, this is not it. It’s a simple, soft, easy reach to smell good scent and unfortunately, the longevity and sillage is nonexistent. It’s completely gone in 3 hours and that’s with over spraying on skin AND clothes. You absolutely will need to decant, buy a travel size or bring the bottle with you (it’s a small bottle) and reapply often if you want to smell it all day. The performance is too poor for me to keep but it’s worth a try for someone that enjoys skin scents and doesn’t mind constantly reapplying.

A fantastic tropical fragrance. A slightly sweet ripe mango with a freshness from jasmine and a clean musk. Sweet from the agave and creamy from the vanilla and sandalwood. I get a zing from the ginger, but not too sharp. This fragrance is beautiful and perfect for Summer. In my opinion it smells nothing like Famw. The are both beautiful mango fragrances. But Carnivale is a realist mango forward scent with florals and vanilla in the background and Fame is a floral vanillia forward scent with mango in the background. Both are beautiful and serve a purpose in my collection , two very different scents. Carnivale does remind me of Daukens Arome Fun Fair fragrance on the other hand.

now THIS is what everyone hyped mango skin up to be! super juicy & vibrant without going too far. ginger & pimento are present and balance out the sweetness/tartness, but the mango is still most prominent. hoping the sillage improves because right out the box it’s basically a skin scent. hoping to pair this with topless tangerine body butter & take this to creamsicle level (the girls that get it, get it) edit: finished my travel spray, and its projection/longevity def improved. prob won’t repurchase until my next tropical vacay

This is intensely mango. In the initial spray it smells a little stinky to my nose like fruit going bad. As it wears you smell less of that but also less of the mango overall. That’s more when I enjoy this fragrance. If I use the Mango Mood body spray it sweetens it up which I prefer. Overall I like this but I wish it was more gourmand and for a tropical fruity scent I much prefer Elis Brooklyn Sunfruit.

This reminds me of Poison Girl but her worldlier still fun big sister. Smells like a dreamsicle (orange/vanilla ice cream for those who don't know) but there's more going on in the background. A slight alcoholic drink vibe (the agave nectar I'm guessing) but nothing too boozy. Powdery/musky warm finish that I surprisingly like. This isn't bad as the first scent I've tried from Brown Girl Jane.

The reminds me of section is all over the place. Hermès Eau Ginger? Anywho this is a creamy mango amber scent. I like it a lot, unfortunately not enough to purchase a full bottle. My travel spray is enough to last me thru summer vacations as that is the only time I can see my self wearing this scent as it is very tropical.
