Astrum Nova

This stuff is actually incredible. Bought it on a whim, I enjoy mango as a note, when done well and Im a fan of the house. Some other mango scents I have and enjoy are: TK No. 4 Neon, Torino 24, and a few others. I immediately smelled this one and thought it was the best mango frag I've smelled. I need some more wears to be sure, but this is really good. Starts with a sweet realistic mango note with juicy citruses, then aromatics come in with woods and projecting clean musky synthetics. The whole package is very pleasant, very complex for a mango centric frag, and more aromatic than you would imagine. It's hard to put an exact finger on what makes it so great, but that's the kicker with some great frags. You can explain them, but theyre just awesome. This is one. Electimuss tends to blend naturals with high end synthetics, and they do it well. But, if you are completely against synthetic aromachemicals, this wont be for you. It does smell high end and rich, though. Totally unisex, leans very slightly masculine due to the aromatic musky vibe. But still straight uni. 8.5/10.

Absolutely gorgeous! A sweet mango candy opening. The citrus feels juicy and the ambrette pushes it toward a musky overripe mango instead of green. Orris in the mid gives a thick texture to the juicy black currant. I can clearly pick out the Osmanthus- its leathery nuance is like fuzzy peach or apricot skin. In the dry down the oud is super smooth and the musk isn’t too intense; on my skin it’s more vanilla, tonka and powdery moss. The tonka feels sparkly and refreshes the candy sweetness. It becomes more of an elegant vanilla skin scent on me at about 6-8 hours, but my clothes still smell strongly of the mid the next day. Astrum Nova projects lots of fruity sweetness in the air. My husband complimented me several times from across the room. I find this to be truly unisex. Definitely full bottle worthy for me! This is one of my favorite mangos, along with Gritti Rialto.

I like this scent and I cannot lie....(to the tune of Sir Mix a Lot's 90's hit. You know the one) The mango is juicy photorealistic goodness on a bed of a musky, vanillic, spicy base that smells a lot like Ramon Monegal's Siesta. Its punchy with great longevity and sillage. The mango differentiator is enough for me. A few others in my camp stated that they smelled wants of Azure Royal in here as well and that it truly smelled like a Mashup of it and Siesta. So. Still love it. Great for really any season. Got a few of those elusive compliments with it too. If you want me to weigh in on price vs performance, Uniqueness, I will say that even though new you can still get it at 30% off of you wait for a sale. Do with that as you will. Electimuss makes lasting stuff. Overall:4.3

I love this stuff. As a mango lover I may be somewhat biased but this hits so nice. Very nice fruity uplifting mango citrus and currant combo. The musk gives it some clean airy lift while osmanthus gives it a fruit-floral touch. I’m the mid Iris helps give the floral aspect some creaminess and the amber warms it up some. As it dries more the oud and oak moss give it a nice backbone to stand on. They just blend together to give a woody base to cling on while the vanilla and tonka add some sweetness. It’s my fav mango scent along with trouble in paradise. Nova stays brighter longer and better in higher heat where trouble in paradise is more for evenings cause that one goes more sweet, boozy and leathery oud in the drydown.

The fragrance opens with a burst of juicy, vibrant mango paired with blackcurrant, adding a mouthwatering tartness to the composition. The fruity accord feels natural and lively, instantly setting a bright, joyful mood. As it develops, a soft powdery iris emerges, bringing an elegant touch, while the base of smooth tonka beans adds warmth and comfort. The fruity character lingers throughout the entire wear, beautifully intertwined with the other notes. It’s a well-balanced, wearable scent that brings genuine pleasure from the very first spray to the final drydown. I’m pleasantly surprised by this new release! 🤩 To me, the fragrance is a true unisex.
