Mango Manga

Id say the majority of these reviews, apart from a few, are just wrong. Either people may not understand or appreciate fragrances or perhaps they just didnt give it a second. Anyway, from my experience this fragrances indeed have a weird kinda unpleasant scent at the very beginning. For me it reminded me of those fruit flavoured fever medicine I would take as a kid. Or like another reviewer described, vomit. I cans ee where they are coming from. HOWEVER, that smell does dissipate quickly. After the first few seconds to a minute, it transforms into the mango. For me personally I like the mango in this. I may not have a lot of experience with mango scents vut I thought it was pretty realistic, considering montale/mancera usually smells synthetic to me. The fragrance to me is almost all mango. I couldn't really pick up much else, which was OK with me. I wore this in the middle of summer in eastern Canada. In that environment, it worked pretty well. Projected pretty nice and left a trail as I walked. I remember a friend of mine complemented it as she was behind me. Additionally, another friend said I just smelled like a walking mango, in a good way ofc. And personally, it reminded me of those south Asian mango juice I used to have as a kid, fruitti I think. With that said, 9/10. Would recommend. Give the first few seconds a chance, and apart from thats, safe blind buy.

So immediately I get a juicy fruit bubble gum mango and it kinda settles into more of a synthetic mango aloe juice. After the initial mango bubble gum burst—the oud, oak moss, and vetiver really stand out to me. I don’t really pick up on the ylang ylang, jasmine, and neroli so much on my skin as it does on my clothes.. But it’s definitely there’s just very softly blended together. The mango is there the whole time it just melts together (with the orange in the background to me picks up more dry a similar orange to eau des marvielles) IMO really great fragrance if you like sweet fruity scents but want more depth. It’s fresh fruity floral but grounded by more woodsy notes that really round out the scent profile. The projection is good slightly more than an arms reach, It depends how much you spray but I tend to be more trigger happy most days. This will last all day on your skin and on your clothes forever but not project so strongly all day maybe 2-3 hrs depending on your application.

I love this one of my favourites for a years and i grow sick of fragrances fast. To me this has a very bubble gum mango opening mixed with a banana like ylang ylang the oud is actually something i can stand and truly appreciate in this fragrance usually i hate oud so idk what other people are smelling but i’ve been told why do i smell so good i smell like candy wearing this and i’ve also been told that it’s too strong on the other hand so to each their own smell before u buy there’s no such thing as a blind buy imo thats just good marketing 🤷🏻♀️ doesn’t smell anything like fame i own that too and thats a way different type of fragrance.

Mango Manga opens with a burst of deliscious sticky sweet juicy ripe mango, almost resembles mango bubblegum but has an underlying green/bitter note which turns down the sweetness of the scent a bit. It reminds of a very sweet synthetic fizzy mango drink I used to love drinking as a child. The longevity is sadly not great but this scent is still yummy. I close my eyes and it transports me onto a hot carribean beach with a luscious fresh mango drink in my hand, straw hat on and feeling chilled out. I am not sure it would actually work on a hot day but on a cold rainy day it's rather yummy.

Doesn't deserve this low of a rating. The mango is candied but balanced with the green notes. The dry down is white floral and green, a solid progression from the sweet opening. I think people want it to smell like the shampoo-mango garbage that's so popular nowa days; this is gourmand, but the florals give it needed depth at this price. 6.5/10

I have this fragrance, I bought it from the official website. The smell of ripe fruit in the tropics, there is no smell of cat litter, which is something that people do not think of. Overripe fruit in the sweltering tropics, I'd say. I like this scent, it opens very interestingly. You start with bubble gum, mango, then white flowers.

When you first spray this fragrence it smells like a mango hi chew candy then goes more floral however the packaging silk sleeve smells like burnt plastic tar which almost made me associate that scent with the fragrence

blind bought a new full bottle here is what I get I love the opening the mango is pretty much there and is very natural smelling but that did not last the orangey mango connection disappears and the flowers comes in this becomes very feminine and soapy although the mango is still there it has been overshadowed by the flowers and that I really did not like "i want more MANGO" they should have taken the jasmine note and just put a more mango note in the middle that would have been a lot nicer in my opinion. at the base it turns slightly woodsy I find the cedar and oakmoss prominent maybe slight sweet vetiver. I don't really smell aoud at the base I was looking for it but cant really detect it the mango is all gone at this point :( at the base woodsy notes with the slight flower notes in the back round over all its an OKAY scent nothing to be hyped about. My opinion if they only a lot of the mango note it would have been very very good and not soapy. I don't really get it MANGO MANGA by its name should be more mango than flowers generally scent aims more on the feminine side as a male I think I can still pull it off good for hot weather/summer scent.

This perfume makes me laugh because in the top note, all I could smell was almost rotten fermented mango. I grew up in the tropics and have eaten different types of mango. Also the ones that are too ripe. This one definitely has that smell. Luckily, it only stays briefly and it delivers me to the smell of prominent yellow flowers. The Heart notes is somewhat soapy to my nose. It smells of flower soap bars that my family used way before shower gels were marketed. This is not love at first sniff even though all the smells brought me back to my childhood in Indonesia. I will update this post later once I arrive at base notes. But for the time being, the verdict is that this is not full bottle worthy.

I am honestly a bit surprised to read the terribly negative reviews here. The opening is full on mango and something bubblegummy. In this stage it does have that synthetic plasticky smell that a lot of Montale fragrances have. Fortunately this disappears quickly and it dries into a creamy realistic mango scent. I get no rotten mango or air freshener and I also can't detect any oud. It smells very much like I would expect from a scent with mango in the name and as its main note. Of course this isn't a super elegant or sophisticated fragrance, but it is fun for sunny days in spring or summer.

I love Mango Manga and didn't see it coming, me being in my 40s and all. I am not very impressed by it (it's quite simple and not very sophisticated), but I enjoy using it A LOT. It starts off with a blast of overly ripe mango and somewhat later I get yellow florals. It's super strong and seems like good value for my money. It's also very synthetic which means you should spray with caution to avoid headaches. I am truly fascinated by it, it's very unique and playful.

The mango i so sweet and ripe it smells like wild strawberries. Love it. Because it makes me think lf when i was a kid putting wild strawberries on a straw and eating them 😂 The jasmine ia there. Ive had it on for 2 hours qnd the fruitiness is still apparent. Love it. Though the first sniff after the initial spray made me gag. But after a few minutes it was loveable.

It's not bad, for me the mango is not it, it smells like bubblegum. Then im getting hints of jasmine. It's not really bad, maybe not a fan of that ylang. But i'm fine with wearing it, not my signature scent tho. Maybe it will grow on to me. The longer im wearing this, the better it smells. Maybe will sell it

Omg, worst opening ever, it literally smells like $h!t BUTTTT the dry down is amazing, smells like you are on a 5 star tropical vacation with an Hermes bag!

I layer this with a citrus marine fragrance and then it's amazing. In its own Mango Manga is cloyingly sweet, like over ripe-smelling, on me.

Wow, this smells like true mango (those there have been imported to Denmark, at least 😅), with some fine makeup powder. It’s cute 🥰🥭

like bubble gum. milky mango - orange coctail

Mango Manga...I get it! Manga, anime...Japanese animation is a facsimile of real life. This fragrance is a facsimile of a real mango or (as a stretch) a facsimile of your more typical rich and deep Montale fragrance. To me, it smells like a "mango" car freshener...like stepping into cab or Lyft and then noticing the car freshener, looking around and then seeing an orange colored pine tree or maple leaf "car fresh'ner" hanging from the rear view mirror. I ordered a decant thinking/hoping that it would smell like a real mango...it doesn't. It's light, synthetic and you wind up smelling like you've been driving your car all day with a "mango car fresh'ner" hanging right next to you!

A tropical scent with photorealistic mango. As in- the actual fruit, not a "mango" shampoo, hand cream or candy. The rest of the notes are not necessarily complimentary though. It`s like driving on a sunlit coastal road and then turning to a slum. For some reason the initially good notes create a banana peel+dust effect. It`s not bad overall but it`s not great either.

The opening is synthetic mango, it was OK for me. After a few minutes I got a really strong soapy-yellow flower blend, it felt really cheap and irritating. After a few hours it turned out as a nice woody mango scent, which I finally liked. Overall I'm glad that I only bought a sample of this fragrance, because it's only wearable a few hours from applying it.
