Linen Vanilla

This is a very beautiful and simple vanilla scent. It doesn't smell cheap or artifical but rather like a well made gourmand. No need to compare it with designer fragrances , it is quite pretty on its own. For this price point I love and recommend this perfume..

The drydown is not like the others (Athena, Burberry Goddess or Angham) smells really like white flowers. It's like if they wanted a lighter version of Goddess for a hot and dry weather

This resembles Burberry Goddess for sure, but then it evolves completely floral, it is still a very nice fragance

Linen Vanilla is a fairly close clone of Burberry Goddess, whose phenomenon I don't fully understand. It shares all the strengths and weaknesses of the original. A minor difference is the white florals appearing in the Mango composition, which are nowhere to be found in Goddess, but overall, to my nose, the similarity is around 95%. Linen Vanilla is a pretty, but rather boring, scent. A light, luminous, yet simple vanilla, with lavender adding character. On my skin, however, the lavender quickly fades, leaving behind a monolithic, unsophisticated, sweet, yet unsweetened vanilla. It's slightly salty, floral, and distinctly powdery, while the cocoa adds a touch of dryness. This vanilla is spacious, airy, and sunny enough to be worn even in summer. It's a very secondary scent profile, however, I understand it's meant to appeal to as many people as possible, and it certainly does that. It's simply pleasant and cozy, but nothing groundbreaking, and for me, it's skippable. I had exactly the same impressions after testing Goddess. Linen Vanilla has fairly good quality ingredients, like most Mango perfumes in this line, and a low price, which is a big plus. The performance is also decent. It's a more feminine scent, but it also smells quite good on men's skin, so it could be unisex – probably due to the distinct chocolate note. 7/10

This is so nice! Honestly, I’m not dying for the Burberry Goddess DNA, but I find it nice and crave it from time to time. That being said, Linen Vanilla is a great alternative to BG and a very safe one as well. I wore it today and the longevity was for a good 4 hours (I think I could make it last even longer with a better prep) and the projection was amazing. Honestly, one of the best projecting fragrances I own, and I only used 3 puffs. The citrus lavender opening and the vanilla base are very well blended. I can also sense the cacao, but it’s not strong. A very universal fragrance, maybe a little dressy for me. I will update this review once I have even more thoughts on this, but so far I am impressed. Overall: 9.5/10
